Introduction

「あなたの署名で私たちの結婚を終わらせて、ウェリントン夫人の称号をあなたの本当の愛する人に譲りましょう」

イヴリン・テイラーとエドワード・ウェリントンの三年間の結婚生活は、彼の露骨な無関心によって歪められていた。全ての努力が無駄だったことに気付いた彼女は、彼の愛情が別の誰かのためにあることを悟った。諦めとともに離婚届にサインをし、イヴリンは自分の人生を取り戻した。莫大な財産を持つ唯一の相続人であり、優秀な医師であり、エリートハッカーであり、天才的なフェンシング選手である本来の自分として、再び世界へと一歩を踏み出したのだ。

エドワードは、次々と明らかになるイヴリンの多面的な素顔に衝撃を受けていた。手放してしまった女性がこれほどまでに魅力的な才能の持ち主だったとは、夢にも思わなかった。

「僕は間違っていた。もう一度やり直すことは出来ないだろうか」エドワードは新たな謙虚さを込めて、彼女の手を掴んで懇願した。

イヴリンは皮肉めいた微笑みを浮かべながら答えた。「私のダンスカードは、並外れた才能を持つ求婚者たちで一杯よ。元夫と過去を振り返る理由なんて、どこにもないわ」

Chapter 1

リビングルームは静寂に包まれていた。

カップが飛んできて、エドワード・ウェリントンを濡らした。彼が身をかわさなければ、額を割られていたかもしれない。

「このバカ者、いつも私に逆らうつもりか?」エドワードの祖父、バイロン・ウェリントンはテーブルを叩き、怒り狂った。

「何度アダムス家に近づくなと言ったことか。なのにお前は離婚もせずに怪しい女を家に連れ込んだ。リリーのことをみんなはどう思うだろう?ウェリントン家の名に泥を塗るつもりか?」

エドワードはそこに立ち、黙ったまま毅然としていた。

「ウェリントン様、どうかお落ち着きください」年老いた執事は彼の健康を心配し、素早く別のコーヒーを注いだ。しかしパトリック・ウェリントンがそれを横取りし、敬意を込めてバイロンに手渡した。

「お父さん、エドワードが間違いを犯したのはわかりますが、感情までは制御できません。エドワードとリリーは三年間結婚していました。今まで彼女に心を開かなかったのは、二人が合わないということだけです」

パトリックは黙っているべきだった。彼の顔を見ただけでバイロンの怒りは増した。

バイロンは杖を掴むとパトリックを叩いた。「お前の悪影響だ。お前の妻も気に入らなかったが、今度はエドワードが私が認めた孫嫁を手放すとは」彼はもう一度叩こうとしたが、突然めまいを感じ、息苦しくなった。エドワードとパトリックは急いで彼を支え、背中をさすった。

「情けない。お前たち二人は同じだ。素晴らしい女性を手放して、裏のある女を選ぶとは」

息を整えた後、バイロンは怒ってエドワードの手を払いのけ、ようやくコーヒーを手に取った。「さあ、正直に言ってみろ、どうやって離婚協議書にサインしたんだ?リリーがお前とどれだけ苦しんだのか見てみたい」

エドワードの唇が動き、髪から滴る水を見つめながら、あの協議書についた涙の跡を思い出した。彼は思考に沈んだ。

リリー・ブラウンはエドワードの前に立ち、その目は生々しい痛みで満ちていた。彼女は苦い笑顔を無理に浮かべた。「今何て言ったの?」

エドワードは冷たい嘲笑で応えた。「議論している時間はない。すでに離婚書類にサインした」

リリーは唇を噛み、涙を通して話そうとした。「エドワード、冗談でしょう?離婚は二人で話し合うべきことよ。おじいさまのことも…」

エドワードはさらに苛立った。「私たちの結婚がどうして成立したか知っているだろう。この愛のない結婚にはもう耐えられない。今日はおじいさんでも私の決意は変わらない」

「愛がない?エドワード、私があなたを愛していることがわからないの?私たちは三年間結婚してきたのよ。三日でも三時間でもなく。少しも感じなかった?」リリーは崩れ落ちそうになり、テーブルによろめきながらも頑固に頭を上げ、エドワードからの答えを期待した。

しかし彼の表情は変わらず、彫像のように冷たく揺るぎなかった。「おじいさんの干渉がなければ、君と結婚しなかったことは知っているだろう。君との結婚は最後の手段だった。私には愛する人がいる。そして彼女がもうすぐ戻ってくる」

エドワードが初恋のニコル・アダムスに言及すると、彼の声色は柔らかくなった。「ニコルと一緒になるべきだった。今は、もう何も私たちの邪魔をすることはできない」

リリーはもう涙を抑えることができず、悲しみでエドワードを見つめた。「つまり、私は邪魔者で捨てられるだけなの?」

彼はため息をついた。「私たちの結婚は最初から間違いだった。今終わらせることが二人にとって最善だ」

二人はもう何も話さず、空気は緊張で重く、リリーの涙がテーブルに落ちる音だけが聞こえた。

彼女は急いで涙を拭き、最後の尊厳を保とうとした。

その時、エドワードの電話が鳴り、重苦しい雰囲気を破った。発信者の名前を見ると、彼の表情は柔らかくなり、電話に出た。

「ニコル、ミソリカ行きの飛行機に乗るはずじゃなかったのか?何かあったのか?」

「いいえ、エドワード、今どこにいると思う?」ニコルの遊び心のある声が電話から聞こえてきた。

「見当もつかないよ。いつ戻るんだ?何時に飛行機が着くか教えてくれれば迎えに行くよ」

「もうマグデン空港にいるわ」

「え?」エドワードは腕時計を確認した。「確か今夜七時に到着するはずだったよな」

ニコルは答えた。「でも、知られていたらサプライズにならないでしょ?」

「いたずら好きだな。そこで待っていて、すぐに行くから」エドワードは寛大に微笑み、名目上の妻リリーには一瞥もせず、彼女の視界から消えた。

リリーはもう耐えられず、書斎のソファに崩れ落ち、苦い笑みを浮かべた。それで終わりだった、三年間の望みのない結婚が。

しかし彼女は諦めきれなかった。彼女はエドワードを三年以上愛していた。結婚する前から、十年間も彼を好きだった。

何ができるというのか?さっきエドワードがニコルに見せた優しい態度を見ていなければ、自分の情熱でいつか彼の冷たい心を温められると自分を欺き続けていたかもしれない。でも今は…

リリーは決意し、胸を締め付ける苦痛を抑えた。今はここで終わらせるしかなかった。

ついに彼女はしっかりと離婚協議書にサインした。

彼女は自分に言い聞かせた。「これでいいの、リリー。最後の尊厳を持って結婚生活から去りなさい」

夜が訪れ、リリーはいつものように夕食のテーブルセッティングを丁寧に確認していた。玄関の外の賑やかな光景を無視して。

エドワードは繊細な女性を腕に抱え、彼女の歓声の中で三回転させ、皆の注目を集めていた。

「エドワード、何してるの?降ろして、恥ずかしいわ、こんなに人が見てるのに。リリーが誤解したら…」ニコルはエドワードの胸に顔を押し付け、恥ずかしそうに不満げな目で彼を見上げた。

「彼女のことは気にするな」エドワードは微笑んだが、目には不快感が一瞬よぎった。「彼女にははっきり言ってある。少しでも分別があれば、私たちを邪魔したりしないだろう」

ニコルの笑顔はより勝ち誇ったものになり、挑発的な目でリリーの方を見た。

彼女が入ってきた瞬間から、リリーの孤独な姿に気づいていた。「リリーがエドワードと結婚したからって何?結局、彼の心は私のものだったわ」と彼女は思った。

二人はダイニングルームに入り、皆の注目を集めた。ちょうど席に着いた時、いつもは冷静な執事が急いでエドワードに近づき、耳打ちした。「ウェリントン夫人が家出しました!」

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
