Chapter 1

우성묘원.

서봉은 하얀 국화 한 다발을 들고, 묘비 앞에 조용히 내려놓았다.

무릎을 꿇고, 침묵하며, 애도했다.

몇 분 후, 그는 천천히 고개를 들었다.

눈은 이미 눈물로 가득 차 있었다.

"누나, 돌아왔어요!"

서봉은 주먹을 꽉 쥐며, 떨리는 목소리로 말했다. "동생이 무능해서 수가에게 돈을 돌려받지 못해 누나가 수술도 못 받고 돌아가시게 했어요! 정말 죄송해요!"

5년 전, 수가의 별장에서.

서봉은 사촌 누나 곽정의 수술비를 마련하기 위해, 장모인 한수연에게 당시 투자했던 30만 위안을 요구했다.

하지만 뜻밖에도 한수연은 회사가 파산해서 한 푼도 남지 않았다고 주장했다!

서봉이 무릎을 꿇고 간절히 애원하자, 한수연은 딸 수청과 이혼하는 조건으로 겨우 2만 위안을 내주겠다고 했다!

둘이 다투는 과정에서 서봉은 급한 마음에 한수연과 몸싸움을 벌였다.

수청이 이 모습을 보고 경찰에 신고했다.

곧바로 모녀의 증언으로 경찰은 서봉에게 주거침입 강도 및 살인미수 혐의로 10년 형을 선고했다!

감옥에서 그의 사촌 누나 곽정은 수술비가 없어 폐암으로 세상을 떠났다.

비통한 그는 서경 전선에서 적과 싸우며 죄를 갚기로 결심했다.

구사일생으로 살아남은 후, 그는 생사전을 창립했다!

이제 다시 우성으로 돌아온 그에게, 모든 것이 변해 있었다!

당사자 중 한 명인 수청은 지금 서봉의 뒤에 멍하니 서서, 무릎 꿇은 그의 뒷모습을 바라보며 머릿속이 하얘졌다.

그녀는 자신이 직접 감옥에 보내고 10년 형을 선고받게 한 남자가 이렇게 일찍 출소할 줄은 상상도 못했다!

서봉이 제사를 마치고 천천히 일어나더니, 갑자기 수청의 목을 강하게 움켜쥐었다.

"수청, 넌 내게 두 조의 목숨을 빚졌어!"

그의 사촌 누나 곽정, 그리고 뱃속의 여섯 달 된 아이!

수청은 서봉을 노려보며, 점점 호흡이 어려워지면서 필사적으로 서봉의 손을 떼어내려 했다!

하지만 한때는 그토록 부드러웠던 그 큰 손이 이제는 쇠집게처럼 변해 있었다!

수청은 자신의 발이 서서히 땅에서 떨어지고 있음을 느꼈고, 머릿속은 질식으로 하얘졌다!

갑자기, 목의 압박이 풀렸다.

수청은 공중에서 떨어져 비틀거리며 거의 바닥에 주저앉을 뻔했고, 급히 목을 부여잡고 콜록콜록 숨을 들이켰다.

"이렇게 죽이기엔 너무 싸다." 서봉이 냉담하게 말했다.

"서봉, 이 미친놈아, 그때 우리 집에서 돈을 빌려주지 않았다고 나한테 이러는 거야?"

수청은 마음이 차갑게 얼어붙은 채, 숨을 헐떡이며 반문했다. "난, 너한테 아무 빚도 없어!"

서봉은 차가운 눈빛으로, 마치 우스운 일이라도 되는 것처럼 그녀를 바라봤다.

네가 나한테 빚진 게 없다고?

아직도 5년 전처럼 내가 바보라고 생각하는 거야?

5년 전, 한수연은 서봉이 투자한 회사가 파산해서 30만 위안의 주식금이 모두 날아갔다고 했다.

사실 그 회사는 수가의 자금으로 인수됐던 것이다!

서봉의 30만 위안은 한수연이 기회를 틈타 독차지했던 것이다!

그 돈이 없었더라도, 만약 수청이 신고하지 않았다면, 만약 모녀가 고의로 그를 함정에 빠뜨리지 않았다면, 그는 사촌 누나의 마지막 모습이라도 볼 수 있었을 것이다!

서봉은 갑자기 웃으며 물었다:

"수청, 내가 널 찾아온 게 단순히 옛정을 나누려는 것뿐이라고 생각해?"

"너, 너 뭘 더 하려고?"

수청은 본능적으로 두 걸음 물러서며, 아름다운 눈동자가 좁아지고 가슴에 불길한 예감이 일었다.

"너와 수가를 내 누나의 제물로 삼겠어!"

서봉은 냉혹하고 무정한 목소리로 수청의 결말을 선언했다:

"지금부터 너희 수가는 지옥이 될 거야!"

수청은 원래 이 말을 심각하게 받아들이지 않았지만, 서봉과 눈이 마주치자마자 겁에 질려 입을 꽉 막고 공포에 질려 뒤로 물러섰다.

눈앞의 남자는 분명 그녀가 가장 잘 아는 얼굴이었고, 눈썹과 눈가도 예전과 똑같았다.

하지만 마치 완전히 다른 사람이 된 것 같았고, 분위기와 기세가 5년 전과는 완전히 달랐다!

그가 아직도 5년 전 고작 50만 원을 위해 무릎 꿇었던 그 남자일까?

그가 아직도 5년 전 그 억울함을 삼켰던 남자일까?

"서봉, 죽은 사람 하나 때문에 나와 내 가족에게 이러려고?"

수청은 그 자리에 얼어붙은 채, 온몸이 추위로 떨리는 것을 느꼈다.

그녀가 뭘 잘못했다는 거지?

결혼한 지 얼마 되지 않아, 서봉이 사촌 누나 곽정과 애매한 관계라는 소문을 들었다.

그녀는 계속해서 여러 소문을 묵묵히 참아왔고, 곽정이 그의 아이를 임신했다는 말을 듣고서야!

어쩔 수 없이 그와 이혼했다.

그녀의 어머니가 뭘 잘못했다는 거지?

당시 수가는 강제로 어머니의 회사를 삼켜버렸고, 그녀의 가족도 백만 위안 넘게 손해를 봤다!

그래서 어머니가 당시 내놓은 2만 위안도 어머니가 친구에게 빌려서 마련한 돈이었다!

그 후로 집안 형편이 점점 나빠져서 지금은 그녀도 여기저기서 일하며 집안 빚을 갚아야 했다!

서봉을 위해, 그와 곽정을 성사시키기 위해, 그녀는 얼마나 많은 고통과 억울함을 참아왔는지 모른다!

이제 와서 그녀가 죄인이 되었다고?

수청의 가슴이 갑자기 바늘로 찌르는 듯이 아팠다!

그녀는 곽정의 묘비를 가리키며 서봉에게 격렬하게 따졌다:

"이 여자가 내 결혼생활을 망치고, 내 인생을 망쳤어! 미워해야 한다면, 내가 그녀를 미워해야지!"

"啪!"

서봉은 바로 그녀의 뺨을 한 대 때렸다!

수청은 맞아서 크게 휘청거리며 고개를 돌린 채 움직이지 않았다.

서봉은 증오가 담긴 눈빛으로 그녀의 옆모습을 훑으며 냉담하게 말했다:

"무릎 꿇고 사과해."

수청은 그제서야 고개를 바로 돌리며, 눈물을 머금고 이를 악물었다:

"내가 그녀한테 무릎 꿇을 것 같아?"

"네 자업자득이야!" 서봉은 강제로 그녀의 어깨를 누르며 그녀의 무릎이 바닥에 세게 부딪히게 했다:

"넌 그녀에게 두 목숨의 빚을 졌어!"

수청의 무릎은 돌에 긁혀 피가 났고, 아팠다.

하지만 그녀는 한 마디도 소리 지르지 않았다!

그녀는 고개를 들어 서봉의 익숙하면서도 낯선 눈을 바라봤다.

점점, 시야가 흐려졌다.

"서봉, 내 인생에서 가장 큰 실수는 널 사랑하고 널 만난 거야..."

그녀는 모든 신뢰를 서봉에게 줬는데, 돌아온 건 뭐였지?

그가 다른 여자를 구하기 위해 사람들에게 무릎 꿇은 것!

그 여자, 그의 사촌 누나가 그의 아이를 임신한 것!

그녀의 사랑과 신뢰는 모두 웃음거리가 됐다!

맞이한 건 오직 5년 후 그의 잔인함과 무정함뿐이었다!

서봉, 난 네게 빚진 게 없어!

오히려 너야말로 내게 너무 많은 빚을 졌지...

이 5년의 고통은 오직 그녀 혼자만 알고 있었다.

서봉 역시 그녀의 눈을 바라봤다.

한때 세상 사람들이 부러워했던 그 아름다운 눈동자는 이제 약간의 풍상의 흔적이 더해진 듯했다.

심지어 그녀의 부드러운 피부에도 세월의 흔적이 남아있었다.

특히 그녀의 눈빛은 불만, 분노, 억울함, 완고함이 모두 뒤섞여 무감각해진 듯했다.

서봉은 본능적으로 손을 놓고 물러났다.

분명 사촌 누나의 원수를 갚고 있는데, 왜 그는 어떤 쾌감도 느끼지 못하는 걸까?

"가라."

서봉은 시선을 거두며, 목소리는 오히려 아까보다 더 차가워졌다. "후사를 준비해. 3일 후... 내가 원한을 풀러 가겠다!"

수청은 천천히 일어나며, 멍한 눈빛으로 그를 향해 처연하게 웃으며 중얼거렸다:

"난 정말 바보였어... 정말 바보... 일찍 알았어야 했는데, 어떤 사람들은 기다려도 돌아오지 않는다는 걸..."

그 웃음을 보자 서봉의 마음이 몹시 불편해졌다. 마치... 심장의 살점이 도려내진 것 같은 고통이 그를 괴롭혔다.

수청이 몇 걸음 가지 않아 갑자기 휴대폰이 울렸다.

전화에서 그녀의 딸 수소아의 급한 울음소리가 들려왔다:

"엄마! 자오광화가 저를 잡았어요. 그가 소아를 이틀 동안 굶겼어요... 소아는 엄마가 보고 싶어요. 소아 너무 배고파요, 소아는 먹고 싶어요... 엄마, 그들이 소아의 살을 자르겠다고 해요. 빨리 와서 소아를 구해주세요..."

말이 채 끝나기도 전에 딸의 전화가 누군가에게 빼앗긴 듯, 한 남자의 욕설로 바뀌었다:

"이 잡종, 감히 내 핸드폰을 훔쳐? 죽고 싶어?"

이어서 전화에서는 몇 번의 뺨 때리는 소리와 딸의 더욱 처절한 울음소리가 들렸다:

"엄마, 그들이 소아를 때려요. 빨리 와서 소아를 구해주세요! 엄마, 소아 무서워요. 소아는 엄마가 보고 싶어요..."

"소아야 울지 마, 울지 마! 엄마가 여기 있어! 내 딸을 때리지 마세요, 때리지 마세요!"

수청은 멍한 표정이 즉시 정상으로 돌아오며, 떨리는 손으로 휴대폰을 들고 큰 소리로 딸을 안심시켰다. "소아야 무서워하지 마! 엄마가 금방 구하러 갈게... 어디 있는지 빨리 엄마한테 말해!"

전화는 상대방이 끊어버렸다.

그녀는 미친 듯이 집으로 달리며 계속해서 중얼거렸다:

"소아야 무서워하지 마, 소아야 무서워하지 마... 엄마가 구하러 갈게, 엄마가 왔어, 소아야... 무서워하지 마!"

서봉은 "딸"이라는 단어를 듣자마자 즉시 미간을 찌푸리며 본능적으로 두 걸음 쫓아가 물었다:

"너 딸이 있어?... 그 아이는, 누구의 딸이야?"

수청은 이 말을 듣고 쓸쓸한 뒷모습으로 갑자기 멈춰 섰지만, 뒤돌아보지 않았다.

너는 아직도 그 아이가 누구의 딸인지 궁금해?

그녀가 누구의 딸이겠어?

그녀는 너 서봉의 딸이야!

당시 서봉이 감옥에 들어간 지 3일 만에 수청은 임신 사실을 알게 됐다.

친구들은 그녀에게 아이를 지우라고 권했고, 짐이 될 거라고 했다.

하지만 강인한 그녀는 외지로 가서 몰래 딸을 낳았다.

이 5년 동안, 그녀의 집안 형편은 하루하루 나빠졌다.

수청은 아빠 역할까지 하며 힘겹게 딸을 키웠다.

너 서봉은 이 딸을 위해 무엇을 해줬어?

심지어 딸은 "잡종"이라는 욕까지 들어야 했다!

넌 내 딸의 아버지가 될 자격이 없어!

소아는 내 거야, 내 수청의 딸이야! 너 서봉과는 아무 관계도 없어!

넌 자격이 없어!

너 서봉의 아이는 이미 5년 전에 그 소첩 곽정과 함께 관 속에 들어갔어!

수청은 이 5년간 견뎌온 모든 억울함과 어려움을 떠올리자 눈물이 또 흘러내렸다.

그녀는 손등으로 빠르게 눈물을 닦고, 돌아서서 오만하고 완고하게 미워하며 말했다:

"흥, 누구의? 적어도 네 딸은 아니야. 너랑 상관없어. 소아는 나 혼자의 딸이야!"

"그 아이가 살든 죽든 너와는 아무 상관도 없어!"

"아, 그리고 그 아이는 올해 다섯 살 반이야."

I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."

I can't breathe. Every touch, every kiss from Tristan set my body on fire, drowning me in a sensation I shouldn't have wanted—especially not that night.
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.

And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
