After Marrying A Dying Bigshot Novels & Stories

“I wasn’t planning on marrying so soon and I never thought I would be marrying a stranger…” “I get it… was there someone else?” Dimitri asks me. His questions caught me off guard. I gulp, unsure about what to reply. “I… I used to date a guy on and off… but there was no one by the time we got married,” I say. “How about you?” “No, there was someone before… but she died last year,” he confesses. He doesn’t give me any more details and I don’t ask for more. The sorrow in his eyes is enough for me to realize that this topic causes him great pain.

"Oh no, I'm good. I'm not hungry." "What do you mean you're not hungry? Your husband gave us his card to do as we please, and now you're saying you're not hungry? You can get anything you want." "Husband? What's going on?" "I got married," Alice smiled. "You got married? When? To who? Do I know him?" "Yes. You may know him. Travis Osborne. It's been a few months, but it's been the best few months of my life." "Wait. That Travis Osborne? That CEO that was featured in Worbes or something?"

“Please, you don’t have to make me feel better. I saw your bag, your shoes, the glow on your face. The years have been very kind to you. You look younger than the last time I saw you. Rich younger.” She shrugged with a grin. “Well… I did get married. Then widowed.” My mouth dropped open. “Wait...you got married? And your husband died?” She nodded, completely unbothered. “Yup. He was ninety-eight. Sweet man. May he rest in peace.” My mouth was still open. “Ninety-eight?” “Yep. And very rich. Which, let’s be honest, was the point.” She gave me a wink.

We shared an unspoken affection that lasted over a decade. If he hadn't fallen for Jennifer Crane, a college girl he was sponsoring, we might have been married by now. When he proposed to me in my past life, I was deeply moved. At the time, I thought I still mattered to him. After we got married, however, I realized I had just been a pawn in his grand plan. He stayed celibate for Jennifer the entire time. I tried everything to please him and did my best to hold that marriage together. I never expected the whole thing to be a lie from the start.

"WEDDING OF THS CENTURY MY FOOT, THIS SHOULD BE CALLED EMBARRASSMENT OF THE CENTURY." The news channels displayed comments and remarks from the wedding, the clips where Marina got married to another man were shown, and everything was displayed on screen. "Their wedding was called off?

"If I can get help from others, I also don't have to marry Noah and accept your curses, Mom..." Mrs. Gina was even more surprised, "Marry?" Grace nodded tearfully, "Yes, mom. I'm married to Noah." [Slap!] Mrs. Gina raised her hand and prepared to slap Grace again. The slap did land hard, but not on Grace's cheek but on someone else's. "Noah?!" "Y-you dare come here?!" An angry Mrs. Gina was even more outraged to find Noah there, especially when Noah replaced Grace to receive the slap. The atmosphere in Mrs. Gina's hospital room became even worse when Mrs. Gina, who heard the news of Grace and Noah's quickie wedding, couldn't resist the shock, causing her to have another heart attack.

"I'm glad I listened to you and started dating her during our final year in college." "I pity her a little…" Carey frowned. "She just lost her father six months ago..and now this? I'm not sure she'll survive the shock when she sees us together as a couple..and her mother! Gosh! I hate her mother so much, I don't know what I'll do to make my mom hate hers and stop the friendship.. it's sickening." Now it’s clear I am in my doom. I had loved a monster, and the whole wedding charade was a revenge game. I was in hell!!

Later on, in his struggling days, he chose money over his love. Leaving his love behind still made him feel guilty. To save his company from the financial crisis, he married a young, beautiful daughter of billionaire Alex Martin. Although their marriage was unsuccessful as there was a lack of love between them. They got forced by Alex and finally gave birth to a brilliant child that was later on named Chris Hendricks. Unhappy with her marriage life, Chris had to see his mom's slain face in an accident due to rain. Her blood mixed with the rain surrounded Chris from all around. Till her last breath, she kept holding Chris' hand. Even before he could shout for help, her lifeless hand slipped a

If only he hadn’t promised her that he would not disturb her again, he would have gone to ask her for more money. Going back on his former decision, he picked up his bottle of booze and took another large chug of it, then got up and turned on his small television, so that he could at least, have some sound in the room. He didn’t even bother watching it, but he soon heard a name that made his head jerk up. It was Tracy’s name, and the news that he was hearing shocked him more than he had thought that he could be shocked. Apparently, the guy whom she was getting married to – the same guy whom she had said was not rich, was a freaking billionaire.

"Nah, man. He just realized he's being dropped! Of course he's panicking. He wouldn't be here without Bette!" His face went pale. He heard every word. "I told you we'd get married after I won an Oscar, and I intend to keep that promise! So why the hell are you making this so damn difficult? You don't want me as your husband anymore, do you?!" he demanded. It was straight out of his playbook.
