Lihat lebih banyak痛みで視界がぼやける。
白い天井が、ゆっくりと回っている気がした。
麻衣子はベッドの上で唇を噛みしめ、両手でシーツを握りしめていた。
腹の奥から這い上がってくる激痛が、息をすることすら許してくれない。
「もう少し我慢してくださいね……」
看護師の優しい声が遠く聞こえる。
でも麻衣子には、ただの雑音にしか感じられなかった。
結婚三年目。
待ちに待った赤ちゃんだった。
ついに陽性反応が出た日の夜、麻衣子は夫の弘人に報告しようと何度も電話をかけた。
でも繋がらなかった。
「今、急な出張で海外なんだ。悪いけど少し待っててくれ」
弘人のLINEはいつも通り素っ気ないものだった。
それでも麻衣子は嬉しくて、毎朝つわりで吐きながらも「今日も元気だよ」と報告を送り続けていた。
それなのに——
「うっ……!」
また痛みが波のように襲ってきた。
麻衣子は歯を食いしばって耐える。
一人だった。
誰も側にいない。
弘人は今頃、どこにいるのだろう。
スマホが震えた。
【弘人】 今夜も遅くなりそう。体調どう? 無理すんなよ。
麻衣子は震える指で返信しようとした。
「今、流産しそうで病院にいるの」
——そう打とうとした瞬間、また新しいメッセージが届いた。
今度は写真だった。
送信者:弘人
添付画像:三枚。
開いた瞬間、麻衣子の世界が凍りついた。
青い海をバックに、弘人が笑っている。
その隣で、秘書の辻本彩花が甘えるように彼の首に腕を回し、唇を重ねていた。
次の写真では二人がビーチベッドで絡み合い、笑い合っている。
三枚目——彩花が弘人の胸に顔を埋め、幸せそうに目を細めている。
場所は明らかに海外のリゾート。
弘人が「急な出張」と言っていた場所。
「…………」
指が動かなくなった。
スマホの画面が、冷たい光を放ちながら、麻衣子の心を切り裂いていく。
次の瞬間、激しい怒りが腹の底から爆発した。
「うああああああっ!!」
麻衣子は力の限りスマホを床に叩きつけた。
ガシャン、という乾いた音と共に画面が粉々に砕け散る。
まだ痛む下腹部など関係ない。
もう、何も感じなかった。
「須藤弘人……あなたは、私がこんな目に遭ってる間も、あの女と楽しんでたのね」
涙が溢れて止まらない。
でもそれは悲しみの涙ではなかった。
純粋な、燃えるような憎悪だった。
看護師が慌てて駆け寄ってくるが、麻衣子はゆっくりと体を起こした。
痛みを堪え、唇の端を吊り上げる。
「……離婚するわ」
声は小さかった。
でもその言葉は、麻衣子の心の中で確かに響いた。
「ただ離婚するだけじゃ、足りない」
麻衣子は砕けたスマホの残骸を睨みつけた。
「あなたと彩花を、徹底的に破滅させてやる」
その瞬間、麻衣子の瞳に冷たい光が宿った。
——離婚まで、あと30日。
The next morning in the large mansion at White Avenue was quite a whirlwind.“Can’t you stay for a bit? Say two more weeks?” Avery sighed softly.Margaret and Adrian chuckled wryly,“I don’t want to go neither” Margaret replied.“But I have to…”“My fiancé needs me” she added, extending her arms so that Avery and Adrian would see her diamond ring.Avery rolled her eyes and pouted slightly,“You can have a fiancé and still stay here… don’t leave me!” Avery cried.Her cries were so outrightly falling on deaf ears because, as Alex emerged from the hallway with bags in hand, followed by Fredrick, Margaret leaped towards him,“Hi there, my fiancé” she squealed excitedly, hanging on her husband’s arm. Avery shook her head playfully, and gestures to her husband too.“I guess it’s just us from now on...”“I know so..” Fredrick replied.“Invite us to the wedding, if you please” he added.Alex nodded agreeably,“That definitely, you won’t miss.”Turning to Adrian, he laid his free hand on his s
EIGHT WEEKS LATERThe most expensive hotel in Greenville opened its ballroom doors to a vast number of guests trooping in. “The Right Wedding of The Hughsons” Fredrick insisted on calling their second wedding that.Of course, Alex was his Best man.“I’m delighted to be ministering at my best friend’s second wedding- to the same person, don’t get me wrong…” Gary said, taking the microphone as the MC of the occasion.Avery was beautifully dressed in the wedding gown Nei-Nei had gifted her, but this time, it was adorned with tiny diamonds, making her glow in the spotlight. Her blonde hair was straightened out and tied in a bun behind her head. Soon, the keyboardist made a procession of the most popular bride song in the world; announcing the arrival of Mrs Hughson.“Here comes the bride, here comes the bride…” The rows and expensive chairs of the ballroom filled with the richest one percent of Greenville, rose in a standing ovation of the prettiest wife ever.Avery scanned the room a
Fredrick sighed, frustration in his voice as he scolded his brother“It baffles me that the first person you went to ask for help from is someone who abandoned you years ago.” “And Aiden will be saying those same words to Adele some time in the future if you two don’t figure yourselves out.” Noah riposted with a smirk etched on his face.Margaret chimed in her voice feeble and weary,“You’re being really annoying right now, Noah.” “You should apologize for the distress you caused everyone of us here.”Tears welled up in her eyes as she whispered, “I defended you blindly, and it hurts so much…”“No, no! Don’t cry, Mag” Noah said, wrapping his arms around his sister.“I’m sorry.” He apologized, his eyes brimming with regret.Alex, indignant, removed his hands from Margaret, replacing them with his own.“I’m sorry, please don’t cry… I love you” he whispered, gently patting her back.“You didn’t defend me blindly, you defended me rightfully.” Noah continued.“I wouldn’t dare kidnap any
“Noah!” A voice called from behind him as he stepped into the five-star restaurant. Swiftly, he pivoted his head to the direction of the voice and came face to face with face so strangely familiar. “You asked to see me…?” “Please sit down…”Noah scanned the room suspiciously before settling at the table.“Waiter!” “No! I’d rather not…” Adrian interjected,“Why? I can’t let you watch while I eat” lovely smiled awkwardly.“Fine, I’ll take a cup of coffee. Thank you” he replied.The waiter laid a cup of espresso on the table for Noah and a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice for Lovelyn.“Thank you, Meredith” she muttered to the waitress.“How long are you planning to stay in a hotel?” Noah asked, a hint of disapproval in his tone.Lovelyn grimaced uncertainly, “Why did you want to see?”“I’ll go straight to the point. I need your help.” Noah replied.Lovelyn shifted uncomfortably on her seat, unable to contain her excitement.“I never thought this day would come” she smiled warm
Alex listened attentively to Adrian rambling on and on about how unstable he felt after the incident at Ivy’s, and his sincere apologies for the events of the previous night.His pleas were like music to his ears- more like a splash of cold water on hot body after a long run. He caught himself grinni
The next morning, Adrian’s alarm blared persistently, shaking him awake from his deep sleep.“Ugh!” He groaned, glancing at the display time, he had overexcitedly set the alarm for 5am. “Well,…” he yawned, stretching and groaning as he groggily pulled out of bed.By the time he was ready to leave, it

Even stranger, this Christmas became, Noah was asking for twenty million dollars on the phone and he couldn’t wrap his head around it but his answer was “yes. Yes, you can have twenty million dollars, only if you can at least let me in on the investment.”Noah took a long deep breath, tapping his fee
