A Deceitful Marriage Novels & Stories

“I don’t like him.” “No one does.” Celia winked at her through the mirror. “But you’re betrothed to him.” Her throat constricted at the reminder. They were promised to each other by her parents when she turned sixteen. A match made in hell. “How do I stop this, Celia?” “You can’t.” A bitten smile crossed the maid’s face. “The titles lost its value after your brother ascended the throne.” It was true. Her words of denial fell into deaf ears. Killian rarely paid her attention. Footsteps echoed in the distance. When her gaze lifted to meet Celia’s in the mirror, an understanding passed between them. She stood from her seat and moved to the center of the room.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

The woman’s heart ached, “Darya, your marriage certificate is fake, fake! You’re not even legally married! You’ve been deceived, deceived!”

I hadn't known that Jaden's hair was tinted, all I knew was that it was black but seeing how Jack's gene had won, I found myself loving it. “You gave me your words, that you wouldn't hurt her, you told me that regardless of what happens, that you wouldn't hurt a hair from her, anyway, you did, and you went back on your words, how. Dare. You?” His palms slammed the desk. “Words are nothing compared to what you both did. You deceived me.
