Introduction

体が弱く生まれたアリエル・ホブスタッドは、家族から疎まれていた。キャスリーン・ホブスタッド夫人が双子のアリエルとアイビーを産んで以来、彼女は寝たきりの状態が続いていた。アリエルと接触するたびに体調が悪化することから、夫人はアリエルが不吉な存在だと信じ込んでいた。これ以上厄災を被りたくないと考えた夫人は、アリエルが三歳の時、夫のヘンリー・ホブスタッド氏に彼女を追い払うよう命じた。

ヘンリー氏は遠縁の祖母のもとへとアリエルを田舎へ送り出した。数年後、祖母が他界し、アリエルは家族のもとへ戻ることを余儀なくされた。実家では誰もが彼女を敵視し、嫌悪の対象となっていた。彼女の居場所は自室か学校しかなかった。

夜、自室で携帯が突然鳴り響く。

「ボス、お元気ですか?私のこと恋しくありませんでした?ご家族は優しくしてくれてますか?やっと私のこと思い出してくれて、うぅ...」

「用件がないなら切りますよ」

「あ、ボス、待って、私―」

田舎育ちのはずなのに、どうしてこんなことに?貧しくて見捨てられた存在のはずでは?部下らしき人物からこんな媚びた態度を取られるなんて、一体?

ある朝、通学途中、ギリシャの神のような容姿を持つ見知らぬ男性が現れる。冷酷で仕事人間、女性との距離を置くことで知られるベラミー・ハンターズだ。驚くことに、彼は突然アリエルに送迎を申し出る。女性嫌いのはずなのに、一体何があったのか?

かつての仕事人間は突如として時間に余裕ができ、その時間のすべてをアリエルの追求に費やすようになった。アリエルへの悪評は必ず彼によって否定される。

ある日、秘書が彼のもとへニュースを持ってきた。「社長、アリエルさんが学校で誰かの腕を折ったそうです!」

大物実業家は鼻で笑い、こう答えた。「バカげている。あの子は弱くて臆病で、蝿一匹傷つけられないんだ。誰がそんなデマを流しているんだ?」

Chapter 1

オーシャンシティ、ホヴスタッド邸、20XX年

「ハニー、どうしたの?なぜ突然震えているの?ほら、話してよ!」ヘンリー・ホヴスタッド氏は階段を降りながら叫んだ。彼は会社へ向かうために家を出ようとしていたところ、気絶した妻の姿が目に入った。彼は目を瞬きもせずに母親を見つめている二人の子供たちに向き直り、激しく問いただした。「今すぐ何が起きたか話しなさい!」彼の激しい命令口調に、アイビー(双子の一人)はびくっと体を震わせた。アリエル(もう一人の双子)は動じることなく動かず、彼に返事をする気配もなかった。

姉のアイビーは勇気を振り絞り、ようやく話し始めた。「私たちは遊びに出かけようとしていたとき、ママが日向ぼっこをしているのを見かけたから、挨拶しようと思ったの。アリエルが先に立って、私はその後ろにいたわ。ママがアリエルを見たとき、彼女は...彼女は...」

「それからどうなった?話せ!」ヘンリーは我慢できずに、彼女の言葉を遮った。

「ママは目を見開いて、そのまま気絶したの」アイビーは話を終えた。彼女は明らかにすべての責任をアリエルに押し付けながら、自分は哀れな様子を演じていた。なんと二面性のある子だ!そのときヘンリー氏は我に返り、まだ救急車を呼んでいないことを思い出した。

「何を待っているんだ?今すぐ救急車を呼べ!」彼はこの茶番を見物するために集まっていた使用人たちに命じた。使用人たちはすぐに散り散りになった。

救急車はちょうど良いタイミングで到着した。ヘンリー氏は妻をお姫様抱っこで持ち上げ、彼女と一緒に救急車に乗り込んだ。彼はアリエルに鋭い視線を投げかけることを忘れなかった。それは言い換えれば、彼女との件はまだ終わっていないということだった。

アイビーは自分の部屋に戻り、アリエルを一人残して使用人たちの奇妙な視線による監視にさらされた。使用人たちの間で突然議論が勃発した。

「あの子は不吉な存在だって聞いたわ。接触する人はみんな不幸に見舞われるって、本当なの?」ある使用人が尋ねた。

「私は一度、食べ物を載せたトレイを運んでいるときに彼女に会ったら、すべてが地面に落ちたのよ。想像できる?」別の使用人が口を挟んだ。

「あの子が不吉だって言ったでしょ、でも信じてくれなかったじゃない。ご主人がなぜまだ彼女を置いているのか分からないわ、追い出すべきよ!」さらに別の一人が呪った。

五歳のアリエルはただそこに立ち、彼らに侮辱の雨を降らせることを許した。それは本当に悲しく、とても痛かったが、彼女に何ができただろうか?彼女はいつも皆から不吉な存在と呼ばれ、彼女を守ってくれる人は誰もいなかった。彼女は自分が不吉だとは思わなかった。彼女は他の子供と同じだった。なぜ人々は彼女を理解できないのだろうかと思った。しばらくして、彼女は呪いの中を自分の部屋へ向かった。部屋に着くとすぐに彼女は涙を爆発させた。

ホヴスタッド邸の二階では、窓からこれらすべてを喜んで見ている人影があった。その人影はアリエルの双子の姉、アイビーに他ならなかった。アリエルが屈辱を受けるのを見て、アイビーは本当に興奮した。彼女は嘲笑して唇を曲げた。「アリエル、ああ、アリエル、私を責めないで。ここにあるすべてのものは私のものであるべきなの。ママも、パパも、そして私の兄たちも、みんな私のものであるべきなの。だから私が冷酷なのを責めないで」アイビーは悪意を込めてつぶやいた。アイビーはいつもアリエルに対して劣等感を感じていた。特にアリエルが彼女よりもずっと可愛らしく、また、ほとんどの人がアリエルを甘やかし、世話をしたがるという事実があった。彼女はどうだろう?彼女はいつも見えない存在だった。そのため、嫉妬の火花が憎しみに変わった。彼女は兄たちとアリエルの間に不和の種をまき始めた。兄たちはみなアリエルを嫌うようになった。一方、アイビーは兄たちが自分に注目してくれることを期待していた。彼女は現実に痛烈な一撃を食らった。兄たちのうち誰一人として彼女を可愛がるつもりはなかったのだ。

ヘンリー・ホヴスタッド氏は、交通事故で亡くなった故マリア・ホヴスタッド夫人と故ジェレミー・ホヴスタッド氏の長男である。当時ヘンリーは二十歳で、弟のダリウスは十七歳だった。両親の突然の死により、ヘンリーは家族のビジネスの面倒を見なければならなかった。ホヴスタッド家はオーシャンシティの上位五つの貴族家系の一つである。ヘンリー氏はその後キャスリーン夫人と結婚し、彼女は後に五人の息子を産んだ。長男のクリフは二十二歳で、冷たく、ハンサムな男で、ビジネスをすることだけが目標だ。彼はめったに家にいない。次男のクレイグは二十歳で、有名な弁護士だ。彼はいつも裁判で人々を弁護するために旅をしている。三男のアーロン・ホヴスタッドは、常にチャートの上位にいる無敗の有名なカーレーサーだ。彼は地下のレーシングトラックを所有している。彼はまた、ゴッドAとして知られるプロのゲーマーでもある。末っ子のアマンドは十五歳で、C国のエンターテイメント業界で有名な俳優だ。そして二人の女の子、双子のアイビーとアリエルがおり、二人とも五歳である。

オーシャンシティの病院で、ヘンリーは不安そうに行ったり来たりしていた。病室のドアが開くと、ヘンリーはすぐに医者の襟をつかんで尋ねた。「先生、妻の状態はどうですか?彼女は目を覚ましましたか?今すぐ教えてください!」

揺さぶられて目が回った医師は物事を落ち着かせようとする。「落ち着いてください、落ち着いて、奥様は今は安定していますが、状態はさらに悪化しています。彼女を動揺させるようなものとの直接的または間接的な接触がないようにしてください」

「では先生、彼女はいつ退院できますか?」ヘンリーは再び尋ねた。

「いつでも退院できますが、自宅に専属の医師がいて彼女の世話をすることが条件です」と医師は彼に保証した。

キャスリーン・ホヴスタッド夫人はこうして退院し、回復のために家に連れて帰られた。彼女を寝かしつけた後、ヘンリー氏はリビングルームでアリエルを呼んだ。

「自分の過ちを理解しているのか?」彼は激しく尋ねた。

「いいえ、本当に分かりません」アリエルは冷静に答えた。彼女は本当に皆が何を問題にしているのか理解していなかった。彼らは彼女がしていないことを認めさせようとし続けていた。

「ひざまずけ!なんて生意気な!お前はお母さんをあの状態に追い込んだのに、分からないだと?ひざまずいて一晩中自分を反省しなさい!」ヘンリー氏は怒鳴り、階段を上がって行った。

アリエルはひざまずいたまま残され、誰も彼女に注意を払わなかった。彼女の手足は寒さとあまりにも長くひざまずいていたことで硬直していた。彼女は朝になって人々が朝食を取りに降りてくるまで、おとなしくそこにひざまずいていた。ヘンリー氏は彼女をちらりと見て、鼻を鳴らして席に着いた。彼は妻とアイビーが朝食のために降りてくるのを待っていた。キャスリーン夫人が降りてきてアリエルを見たとき、彼女は即座に取り乱した。

「あ!ダーリン、彼女はそこで何をしているの?彼女を追い出して!彼女は不吉よ!彼女を見たくない!」彼女は階段を駆け降りながら狂ったように叫んだ。

「ハニー、落ち着いて、大丈夫、大丈夫、彼女を追い出すから、気をつけて」ヘンリー氏は彼女を階段から降ろすのを手伝いながら彼女に保証した。今、彼は妻が不注意に階段を駆け降りるのを見たとき、ほとんど心臓発作を起こしそうになった。彼女が転んで怪我をしないように、できるだけ早く駆けつけた。怒りのあまり、彼はアリエルの腹を蹴った。彼女はすぐに口いっぱいの血を吐いた。彼は彼女を叱った。「見てみろ、お前がしたことを!今日お前を送り出す、お前が好むと好まざるとにかかわらずだ!」

アリエルは痛みで息を呑んだが、追い出されるという考えに震えた。彼女は再びひざまずいて父親に懇願した。その光景は胸が張り裂けそうだった。

「パパ、お願い、私を送り出さないで、いい子にするから。迷惑をかけないわ、もうママの前に現れないから…」

「黙れ!」ヘンリー氏は彼女の顔を強く平手打ちした。彼は使用人たちをちらりと見て命じた:

「執事を呼んで、車の準備をさせろ!」

彼の言葉には妥協の余地がないようだった。

「いいえ、パパ、お願い…」
