Still 10 Years Younger Hiratsuka-sensei

息子がピアノコンクールに参加する日、私は向かう途中で交通事故に遭った。 怪我の状態を気にする余裕はなく、私はおびえながら会場に駆けつけ、ちょうど授賞式に間に合った。 息子は金メダルを手に取り、興奮した表情で私の方に走ってきた。 私は微笑みながら頭を下げ、彼は背を向けて金メダルを夫の初恋の首にかけた。 私が10年間愛してきた夫でさえ、イライラした口調で言った。 「お前、こんな格好してどうしたんだ？汚くて、まるで物乞いみたいだ！ 今夜の息子の祝賀会には来るなよ。お前が来たら恥ずかしいって言われるぞ！」 私は一言も言わず、一人で病院に行って診てもらった。 雨の中を走って別荘に戻ったが、ドアがすでに施錠されているのに気づいた。 そして、私は激しい雨の中、一晩中ドアをノックした。 夜明けが訪れ光が差し込む頃、私は彼らにメッセージを送った。 「離婚します。あなたたちの望む通り、これからはもう邪魔しません」

In my previous life, my brother and fiancé teamed up to sabotage my company for the sake of my so-called best friend. After I went bankrupt, they stood beside her watching me collapse in the pouring rain, laughing mockingly at my pathetic state. "Linda Turner, you look as pathetic as a drenched dog!" they sneered. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the project bidding meeting three years earlier. In my previous life, when my company was just starting out, my brother and fiancé had warned me against using the Turner and Peterson family connections. They claimed it wouldn't be fair to others, but then turned around and handed projects to my best friend under various pretexts, just to see her smile. Now that I was back, I watched them secretly manipulating things just like before, giving my projects to my best friend. I finally gave up on them completely. When they found out I was leaving the country, my brother and fiancé set off fireworks all night, celebrating that they'd finally gotten rid of me, the burden. But three years later, at the Trada Corp's bidding meeting, I took the stage as the CEO's wife—and they couldn't hide the redness in their eyes.

Following the loss of her husband two years ago, Violet Fielding wants to focus on two things: her jewelry business and beginning her life anew in the small town of Fair Haven, Washington. She doesn’t have time for men or romance, and she certainly doesn’t have time for a man who’s a well-known playboy and younger than her. Violet already found the love of her life in her husband, and after his death, she knew she could never love anyone again. But when Ash kisses her, all of her plans and promises are turned upside down. A passion stronger than either Ash or Violet could imagine envelops them both one night—and that night changes everything. As old heartbreaks threaten to tear the couple apart, both must find the courage to see that, of all things, love is worth a second chance."
