Sarah Sanderson Hocus Pocus 2

夫と結婚して2年も経ったが、ペアローンを申し込もうとした時までは、彼の法律上の妻が別人だったことは知らなかった。 そうだったか。私との「結婚式」というのは単なる私的な儀式に過ぎず、正式に提出された婚姻届には別の女性の名前が書かれたのだ。 法律上では、私は彼の妻ではなく、ただの愛人だった。 傷心して家に帰ると、ドアの外で夫と彼の親友との会話が聞こえた。 「いつも神経が張り詰めているお前を見ていると、こっちまで疲れるよ。まったく！鈴子（すずこ）ちゃんをあれほど愛しているのなら、なぜあの山下美幸（やました みゆき）と婚姻届を出したんだ？お前、一体何を考えているのだ」 宮崎誠（みやさき まこと）は不思議そうに尋ねた。 橋本隆祐（はしもと たかすけ）は複雑な表情を浮かべ、心が混乱しているように口を開いた。 「最初は、美幸のことを鈴子の身代わりだとしか思わなかったが、でも、美幸が去った後、僕は寂しくなり……ほぼ毎日、彼女が恋しくてたまらなかった。結局、彼女をアシスタントとして呼び戻さずにはいられなかった」 数秒後、彼はため息混じりに話し続けた。 「僕には鈴子も美幸も必要だ。だから、鈴子には正々堂々と一緒に暮らしてあげてる。その代わり、美幸には法律上の妻という身分を与えたのだ。公平だろ？」 ドアの外で、私は体が震え、心が引き裂かれるような痛みを感じ、世界が崩れ落ちたような感覚だった。 「鈴子も美幸も必要だ」という彼の言葉を聞いてはじめて、彼が二人の女性を同時に愛してしまったと分かった。 彼は幼なじみの私と一緒にいながらも、愛人も手放したくないようだ。 彼にとって、自分が特別な存在で、彼に至れたり尽くせたりで守られる大切な人だと思い込んでいた。 しかしながら、彼は私をバカにして、私の気持ちを踏みいじった。 真相がわかった時、私は泣きもせず、騒ぎもせず、ただ静かにその場から立ち去った。 そして、計画2件を立て始めた……

I never thought a dance could bring me disaster Tonight, at the annual Moon Goddess Festival, my brother, the heir of the Silver Moon pack, Aiden, and I performed a dance together. We won a lot of applause. Aiden made me the star of the festival. Unexpectedly, after the dance, Aiden's mate came with a group of sorority members to bully me. "How dare you flirt with Aiden? Omega! "Break her legs!" “No!No!No! I am Aiden’s sister!” I tried to explain, but they gagged me. I struggled desperately, but it only provoked an even more brutal beating. "If she's so horny, strip her naked and throw her into the boys' restroom," Bella said, standing nearby with her arms crossed. Tears of despair streamed down my face. Just then, Aiden arrived. "I'll make every one of you pay for this!" he roared.

I slept with my brother's best friend. And I didn't even know who he was. --- The first time I saw Rafael De Luca, he was a stranger by the pool with sin in his smile and hunger in his icy blue eyes. He kissed me like I was air and he'd been drowning. Then I learned his name. My brother's best friend. The heir to the De Luca empire. My family's sworn enemy. I should have walked away. Instead, I let him ruin me. One night of passion. One whispered "my little sunshine" against my skin. One secret I took with me when I disappeared without a trace. Now I'm back. Six years later, Rafael is colder than ever, Chicago's most feared mafia prince, and the man I'm being forced to marry. He doesn't know why I left. He doesn't know about the five-year-old secret waiting at home with his father's blue eyes. And he definitely doesn't know that one look from him still sets me on fire. "You're mine now, sole," he whispers against my lips on our wedding night. "And I'm going to find out why you left. Every. Damn. Reason." He thinks he's in control. He thinks he's the one ruining me. But Rafael De Luca doesn't know the truth yet. I didn't just sleep with my brother's best friend. I gave him a son. And when he finds out, this monster who wears obsession like armor will have to decide: Destroy me for my betrayal... Or surrender to the passion that could save us both.

The family takes the boy, leaving May to flee with her daughter and sister, disappearing abroad to build a new life. For five years, she raises her daughter Aria while Lily grows healthy and excels academically. Their paths cross unexpectedly at an airport when Aria bumps into Damien.
