Romans 8 38-39

I'm ten years older than Vincenzo Corleone. He had just turned 23 years old when he took over the Corleone family as the patriarch. A hint of teenage childishness could still be seen etched onto his youthful features. I was the one who held his hand and helped him calm the turbulence of his family affairs. I blocked three assassination attempts that were made on him. I used five years of my life to help him grow from a useless scion into the fearsome don who wielded the utmost authority in Nowork's underworld. Once, Vincenzo had embraced me in the church. He rested his forehead against my palm as he swore, "Age, identity, or the world's viewpoint of us will never stop us from being together, Freya. I will protect you with my life." But after that, he told his older brother, Marco Corleone, "Freya is too old. She's already 38 years old; I can practically smell the rot of age rolling off her. Even the crinkles in her smile disgust me to no end." Some time later, Vincenzo found himself a mistress who bore some resemblance to me. She was young and vibrant—like a white rose who had never experienced the ugly side of society. While Vincenzo gave me the title of the Donna of the Corleone family, he reserved his gentle, doting, and even passionate side for the mistress named Lina Marino. Vincenzo thinks he can pull everything off flawlessly. What he forgets is that the reason why I can establish my reputation in the underworld isn't because of his protection. I've been relying on my ruthlessness and my sharp sixth sense this whole time. When I slam the signed divorce agreement onto the spot before Vincenzo, I say with a smile, "You've fought by my side for so many years, so you should know very well that I can afford to go for high-stakes risks and withdraw my chips whenever needed. "But once I lose, someone here has to pay the price!"

결혼 4주년 기념일, 정루아는 남편에게 이혼을 통보한다. 남자의 얼굴이 차갑게 가라앉았고, 눈빛에는 이해할 수 없는 분노와 당혹감이 서려 있다. “고작 형수님 출산 지키느라 네 곁에 못 있어 줬다고 지금 이 난리야?” “그래!” 형이 죽고 바로 다음 날, 구태윤은 미망인이 된 형수를 돌보러 외국으로 떠났다. 그 이후 해외를 오가며 4년을 보냈다. 정루아가 그를 간절히 필요로 했던 순간, 언제나 형수와 조카가 우선순위였다. 사흘 전, 형수가 귀국하던 날 두 여자는 동시에 물에 빠졌다. 위기의 순간에도 그녀는 늘 뒷전이었다. 조카에게 손을 댔다는 오해를 받아 자갈길 위에서 무릎을 꿇었을 때조차 철저히 외면당했다. 8년 동안 단 한 번도 사랑을 의심하지 않았던 여자. 그러나 이제, 처음으로 자신의 마음을 내려놓기로 결심한다. “그만해.” 남자는 이혼 합의서를 갈기갈기 찢어버렸다. “형의 유일한 혈육이기 때문에 챙겨줬을 뿐이야. 앞으로 안 그러면 되잖아.” “다시 가져다줄게. 당신이 사인할 때까지 계속.” 남자의 눈에 서린 냉기가 경악으로 물들었다. 그는 번개 같은 속도로 정루아의 손목을 낚아챘다. “연애부터 결혼까지, 우리 8년을 함께했어. 진짜 이혼할 수 있어?” 정루아는 무덤덤하게 손을 빼내며 대답했다. “세상에 못 내려놓을 건 없어.” ... 지구가 네모나다는 사실을 믿을지언정 정루아의 이별은 받아들이지 않았던 구태윤. 함께한 8년. 정루아는 결혼 허락받기 위해 빗속에서 대문 앞에 무릎을 꿇기도 했고, 해외 연수 기회마저 포기했다. 사랑이라는 이름으로 모든 것을 내주었던 여자. 구태윤은 그녀가 절대 자신을 떠나지 않을 거라 확신했다. 그러나 이혼 신고서가 손에 쥐어지는 순간, 망치로 머리를 얻어맞은 기분이었다. 그날 이후, 자존심도 체면도 모두 버린 남자는 매일같이 그녀의 문 앞에 무릎을 꿇는다. “제발 문 좀 열어줘. 한 번만이라도 들어가게...”
