Talica 12 Ii

The perpetually 17-year-old Rose Cristian has resurrected. Again. She has to. Otherwise, the evil witch Joanna would succeed in ending the world. Rose isn't worried, though, she has vanquished the enemy several times before and will do so again. Only this time, Joanna's become more powerful and it might be Rose's first loss in their 500-year-old war. That is unless Rose gains access to an ancient curse that's fatal to the witch. The catch? She has to marry the mysterious and brooding Jericho in order to activate the curse. Despite an obvious physical attraction, Rose just can't seem to like her husband and he seems to feel the same. So it's always sarcasm and fistfights whenever they're together. Add into the mix her newfound warrior team: the morose werewolf Ty and the clumsy wizard Trick. Will Rose succeed in her task this century or will she finally breathe her last?

"You are the reason..." I said with shaky hands. "Tavi..." Essex breathed. "I swear I would break down every mountain and build never ending bridges to get to you, mate. You're the reason my heart is still bleeding," I replied with glossy eyes. "You are my reason, Tavi," he said before crashing his lips into mine. "I cannot lose you," I replied allowing those tears to freely fall. "You won't. I love you," he said kissing my tears away.

Evelyn Larson's nephew, Maxwell Larson, has been staying at my home for 12 years. On top of sponsoring everything he has in life, I even view him as my own son. Heck, I'm the one who paid the down payment for Maxwell's new family home. But on the night we're having a holiday dinner, he throws me a list in front of everyone. "Uncle Lawrence, I've already hashed out the details with my fiancee's family. We'll be giving her family 700 thousand dollars as a wedding gift. You've raised me for so many years, so you need to prepare this amount for me." I frown instantly. "Didn't I just settle your down payment for you? Besides, Tiffany's about to get married soon. I need to save some money for her own wedding gift." But Maxwell instantly smashes a plate out of anger. "Since she's marrying into another family, that means she's no longer a part of this family! Are you saying that you're willing to give your money to an outsider rather than your own nephew? "If you refuse to agree to my terms, I'll make Aunt Evelyn divorce you right now!" I turn to look at Evelyn out of instinct, only to see her pulling out a gift agreement that she has already drafted. "We don't need to prepare any wedding gifts for Tiffany, seeing as she's the one marrying into another family. Max, on the other hand, is the only son of the Larson family. You should give your money to him instead."

妹・結城結愛（ゆうき ゆあ）がまた入院した。原因は、私・結城望美（ゆうき のぞみ）が部屋の窓を開けて風を通したこと。 母・結城雅美（ゆうき まさみ）は病室の外で私の鼻先を指差して喚き散らし、その飛沫が私の顔に容赦なく飛んでくる。 「あんたなんか、連れ戻すんじゃなかった！お祖母ちゃんの躾が悪かったのね。妹をいじめるために帰ってきたんでしょ！ もし結愛に万が一のことがあったら、あんたも生きていられないと思いなさい！」 深夜。家の中は水を打ったように静まり返っている。 黒い服を着た背の高い死神のおじさんが壁をすり抜けて現れ、真っ直ぐに妹のベッドの枕元へと向かった。 「結城結愛。寿命が尽きた、私と来い」 妹は深く眠っているが、私は目を覚ましている。 私は床に敷いた布団から這い上がり、妹のベッドの前に立ち塞がった。声は震えていたが、決して逃げたりはしない。 「おじさん、人違いだよ。寝ているのはお姉ちゃんで、私こそが結城結愛なの」 振り返り、熟睡している母を一瞥する。母は夢の中でさえ、眉間に深く皺を寄せている。 私がいなくなれば、お母さんはもっと幸せになれるかもしれない。 「おじさん、私逃げないよ。でも、三日だけ待ってくれないかな？ お母さんの誕生日を、お祝いしてあげたいの」

森田グループの社長である夫の森田勲（もりた いさお）と、12回目の体外受精のために病院へ向かう途中、知らない番号から電話が入った。 スマホの画面をちらりと見た瞬間、勲の表情がこわばった。 「取締役会の緊急会議だ」 そう言って立ち上がると、勲は慣れた手つきでジャケットの袖を整えた。 「国際合併の件でトラブルが起きた。先に戻っていてくれ、会議が終わったらすぐ戻るから」 診察室のドアが閉まる。看護師がカルテを手に持ち、戸惑った顔で私を見た。 「森田さん、胚の解凍プロセスを開始しますが、このまま進めますか？」 私は握りしめてしわくちゃになった同意書を見下ろした。 緊急会議？ 小林グループは森田グループにとって最大のスポンサーだ。そんな緊急の会議があるのなら、この小林家の令嬢である私が知らないはずがないのに。

The night before our wedding, Jason Scott receives the cancer diagnosis of my adopted younger sister, Helena Sanderson. His expression falters, and he says indignantly, "We'll cancel the wedding tomorrow, Victoria. Helena is very fragile now. I can't risk upsetting her at this point in time." I reply, "I don't agree with it! Why would my wedding upset her?" Jason doesn't show any displeasure after my rejection. He even thoughtfully prepares a glass of milk for me. … When I wake up the next morning, I realize the house that should be full of excitement is eerily quiet. Anxious, I dial Jason's number 99 times. He only picks up the call on my 100th try. "Where did my wedding dress and shoes go?" I ask. Jason falls silent for a moment. His tone is apologetic when he replies, "I'm sorry, Victoria. Helena wants to experience being a bride once. I can't let her leave with regrets. Please bear with this for now. I'll make it up to you once she passes away peacefully." As the line goes dead, I sit frozen on the bed, unable to recover for some time. … A month later, while Jason is on his honeymoon, I send the livestream of my wedding announcement with his rival, Frank Lawrent, directly onto his phone. Jason regrets it bitterly.
