empress ki episode 40

결혼기념일, 나는 집 안 청소를 하다가 앨범 하나를 발견했다. 알고 보니 내 남편은 매년 이맘때쯤 자기의 첫사랑과 웨딩 촬영을 하고 있었다. 40살부터 60살까지, 검은 머리가 흰머리가 될 때까지 장장 20년간 한 해도 빠짐없었다. 심지어 사진 뒤에는 남편의 유창한 필체로 쓴 문구가 적혀 있었다. [영원한 내 사랑.] 남편이 나를 사랑하지 않는다면 나도 남편을 위해 빨래하고 밥하고 아이와 손자를 길러줄 필요가 없어졌다. 어쩌다 보니 벌써 반평생을 함께 보냈지만, 지금 모든 걸 바꾸는 것도 늦지 않았다.

Suami yang sudah 40 tahun menikah denganku dan cinta pertamanya bermain di bak mandi, tetapi malah kena setrum. Sementara aku hanyalah seorang istri yang tua dan tidak bisa apa-apa. Tanpa suamiku, hidupku rasanya runtuh .... Aku hanya bisa menelepon putriku untuk meminta bantuan, "Sisi, ayahmu dan Meita hampir mati kesetrum ...." Namun, putriku, Sisi Sutomo, langsung memarahiku tanpa ampun, "Bu, kenapa Ibu menjijikkan sekali?! Sebenarnya Ibu maunya apa?!" "Ayah dan Tante Meita itu orang baik-baik sepanjang hidup mereka. Kenapa Ibu harus memfitnah mereka? Sikap Ibu ini bakal bikin Kevin susah di kantor!" Belum sempat aku membalas, dia langsung menutup telepon. Ketika aku mencoba menelepon lagi, nomornya sudah mati. Aku memandangi dua orang yang pingsan sambil berpelukan di bak mandi itu, tidak tahu harus berbuat apa. Suamiku, tanpa dirimu, apa yang bisa dilakukan istri yang sudah tua sepertiku? Seluruh Grup Sutomo yang begitu besar kini ada di tanganku. Aku sangat takut sampai tidak bisa tidur nyenyak ....

아빠가 나를 아주머니가 주최한 연회에 데리고 갔다. 연회에서 케이크를 먹다가 케이크 속에 들어 있던 체리를 발견하고 급히 뱉어냈다. 어렸을 때 체리를 먹고 온몸에 두드러기가 나서 죽을 뻔했던 기억 때문에 이 맛은 너무도 익숙했다. 하지만 아주머니는 실망스러운 표정으로 말했다. “행운의 뜻을 담아 케이크에 체리를 넣었어. 민준이 이렇게 기분을 상하게 할 줄은 몰랐네.” 아빠는 내 말을 들어주지도 않고 나를 밖으로 내보내 마당에서 벌을 서게 했다. 엄마는 나한테 요즘 온도가 40도를 넘으니 실내에서 얌전히 있으라고 하셨다. 정말 날씨가 너무 더웠다. 그런데 몸이 간지럽고 숨이 점점 막혀온다. 아빠를 찾아가 도움을 요청하려 했지만 내가 아무리 문을 두드려도 열어주지 않으셨다. 거실의 유리창을 통해 바라보니 아빠는 차가운 눈빛으로 한 번 쳐다보고는 끝내 문을 열어주지 않으셨다.

After the plane crash, my body was never recovered. My soul drifted back to the home I hadn't stepped foot in for five years. They didn't know I was dead. They were still waiting for me to come home for Christmas. When my mom got the call from the airline, she froze for a long time, completely at a loss, before breaking down in tears. I followed them as they went to the memorial crash site. That was when I noticed something strange—I could see their levels of regret hovering above their heads. My brother's regret level read: 40%. My father's showed: 60%. Even my sister-in-law had 30% over her head. But my mother's regret level? It flashed a cold, unchanging 0%.

결혼 40년 차 남편이 첫사랑과 욕조에서 무드를 잡다가 감전사를 당하게 되었다. 가족밖에 모르던 나는 하루아침에 과부가 되자 하늘이 무너지는 것 같았다. 결국 딸에게 전화를 걸어 도움을 청할 수밖에 없었다. “예령아, 네 아빠랑 안정미가 감전되어서 목숨이 간당간당한데...” 하지만 들려오는 거라고는 지예령의 호통 소리뿐이었다. “엄마, 징그럽게 왜 그래요? 대체 원하는 게 뭐예요?” “아빠랑 정미 이모는 평생을 떳떳하게 살아온 분들인데 왜 헐뜯지 못해 안달이죠? 엄마 때문에 선우가 회사에서 얼굴을 들고 다닐 수가 없잖아요.” 내가 대답하기도 전에 딸은 전화를 끊었고, 다시 연락했을 때 이미 차단된 상태였다. 실오라기 하나 걸치지 않은 채 욕조에서 꼭 끌어안고 기절한 두 남녀를 바라보자 당최 어찌할 바를 몰랐다. 여보, 당신이 없으면 나는 어떡하라고? 지성 그룹 같은 대기업을 물려받으면 긴장한 마음에 잠도 못 이룰 것 같은데 말이야.

Officer Emma Winter is one of the most decorated members of the police force, having successfully solved every case she has taken on. Her commitment and keen instincts have made her a standout in law enforcement. She’s now assigned to investigate the unsolved murder of CEO Franco Gil, uncovering links to the infamous Crimson Brotherhood, led by the ruthless billionaire and CEO Thorne Crimson. To her shock, Thorne isn’t just a powerful mafia boss; he’s the leader of the group that bullied her in college, his name bringing back painful memories from her past. Fueled by a thirst for revenge and the need for evidence, Emma plans to enter Thorne's world by pretending as a seductive woman at a bar. As she gets closer, her quest for vengeance becomes complicated when Thorne grows obsessively protective and captivated by her. Caught between her need for revenge and surprising feelings for the man who once bullied her, Emma must confront her past while dealing with the strong chemistry between them. As their relationship deepens, Emma faces a tough choice: betray the man she’s falling for to uphold her duty as a police officer and expose the Brotherhood’s dark secrets, or risk everything for the love of a powerful mafia leader who could destroy all she’s built. In this intense struggle between loyalty and desire, will Emma choose love over revenge, or will she stick to her mission and break the mafia’s heart?

My husband was tall and handsome, but he had no money to pay his debts. During the five years of our marriage, I sold my house and car for him. We then moved to a dark and humid basement that was only 300 square feet in size. When I got pregnant, I wanted to go for checkups, but he said that there was no need for it, as it was a waste of money. So I gave birth to a baby with a congenital heart condition. In order to get the money for his surgery, I worked three jobs every day. At that time, I noticed that my husband bought a mansion worth 40 million dollars for an influencer, and I finally realized that my husband was no orphan, but the son of the richest man in the country.
