A Deceitful Marriage の小説・ストーリー

She had let her desire for love and connection cloud her judgment, and now she was paying the price. As she wept, Claus's voice cut through the silence, his words dripping with disdain. "You're a real piece of work, aren't you, Cassandra? Using your charms to seduce married men. You're a homewrecker, a manipulator. You're not even sorry, are you?" Cassandra sprinted to her bedroom, locking herself inside. Her body shook with uncontrollable sobs as anguish overwhelmed her. How could her heart be shattered twice? First, abandonment at the altar, now deceitful love.

Shopping for his present removed that guilt and doubt that crept in. The plan for Daniel and June was on the way. The function was a day from now. It was another charity function. I hope the purpose of these charities were met. Daniel had cheated on June since they got married with four different women, promising all of them marriage too. His marriage with June hadn't been up to a year and it was already crumbling. June had lied about her pregnancy and Daniel can't stay with his wife and remain faithful. I wonder how he could lie to these women without them finding out.

Is that a good reason to want me back? Wasn't I his wife before, when he maltreated me? Even though he claims he's going to treat me better, I can't trust him. I can't take his word for it. During the time we were married, he kept lying to the queen, deceiving his mom and making her believe that our marriage was all rosy. If he could deceive his own mom, he can deceive me.

Of all the things he could say… it had to be that word. Divorce. After two years of dating in college, and after four years of marriage, they were going to leave everything behind. “Why?” She questioned, her voice shaking. “Are you leaving me for Vanessa?” He stared into her eyes with no emotion at all. “Don’t drag Vanessa into this. She’s the company’s brand ambassador, even your father himself praised.” Then Nathaniel told her the truth she had already known. “Our marriage was never real. I used it to get close enough to destroy your father.”

she sneered, I frowned, she passed me, entering the house, while I stood there, still holding the door. It took me a moment or so to realize she had entered, I turned to look at her, “what do you want Chloe?” I asked, she smirked, “I’m here to take what is mine, Harris” she crossed her arms over her chest, calling out his name. “He’s my husband now, don’t you dare talk about him like that, and he’s not here!” I said, she smiled, “your husband?” she laughed sarcastically. “He was never you husband, Harris told me everything about the marriage contract, everything was fake…” she said, I felt like someone just stabbed me with a dagger, “what?” I asked, feeling shocked, and broken.

He left even before I could finish the question. Again, he left, taking the answers to my peace of mind with him. Gosh. I needed that money for my mother, but this marriage didn’t sound like a virtuous path to have them. Moreover, what story was I going to tell the surrounding people? Selena would never believe a word of any story. She knew how much I loathed this man’s gut, and now, out of nowhere, I was becoming his wife. I needed to narrate a story that everyone believed. I had no idea what it would be, but it had to be more realistic than anything going on in the world right now.

I ran towards the sitting room, past the statues of the knights keeping watch, past the paintings, and into the sitting room. “ Did you know?” I asked as I approached Hazel. “ What? What is it? What is wrong?” He asked, standing to his feet. “ Did you know about everything”. “ What everything? What are you talking about?” “ Did you know that our marriage was a fraud?!” My tears started gushing out furiously, “ did you know that your mother and my father's lawyer deceived us into getting married?” I really wanted to hear his answer. “ I ………I…….”, he stuttered.

stated Madam Jamaica, fingers folded under her chin, "because I think integrity forms the foundation of any profitable alliance." Fiona bridled. "Coalition? "Marriage is nothing if not a negotiation," she cut in, holding her cup as if she hadn't just skillfully vacuumed the room of romance with a surgeon's precision. "One must know the terms. And the risks." "Madam Billion," Fiona started hesitantly, "I'm not entirely certain that I comprehend what you're suggesting—" You are clever, Fiona," she broke in, her voice encased in steel-wrapped silk. "Don't shame both of us by denying that this marriage began as a deception."

“Mom, what do you mean, a lie? I’m Jace’s wife—how could any of this be fake? Even if he wants a divorce, he can’t force me unless I agree to it.” But deep down, panic clawed at her. She had cornered Jace into marrying her, knowing full well he had a childhood sweetheart he loved with all his heart. Still, she had shamelessly used underhanded tactics to tie him to her. Even though he had never truly cared for her, never even touched her, as long as she carried the title of ‘Mrs. Blair,’ she felt content. The woman’s heart ached, “Darya, your marriage certificate is fake, fake! You’re not even legally married! You’ve been deceived, deceived!”
