After The Marriage Novels & Stories

He paused letting a ghost smirk graced his lips. "I am going to fuck you after the marriage, and I wouldn't be holding back from having my way with my wife in my way, so think about it. The life as a wife of Ace Sullivan would come with more odds than evens." His eyes flickered in amusement when he watched her freezing on the spot when he told her about having sex after marriage.

Sophie said carefully. Vivian smiled, something knowing in her expression. "Of course. Though I did hear you two are still technically within your first year of remarriage. Rather quick timeline for such a public reunion, wasn't it?" "We know our own story," Sophie said, steadier now, refusing to let the barb land. "That's all that matters." Vivian's smile didn't falter, but something behind her eyes sharpened. "I'm sure," she said smoothly. "If you'll excuse me, I actually need to speak with Adrian about a business matter. Won't take but a moment."

"Get out, you bloodsucking leeches! Scram!" Clifford Reyes yelled, slamming the door shut. Outside, Hilda's furious shrieks and George's mumbled gripes gradually faded away. I slumped against the door frame, a bone-deep chill seeping through me. My mom wiped her tears while my dad glowered. "This marriage has to end. We'll contact a lawyer tomorrow!" ... We hadn't even contacted a lawyer yet when George showed up again.

“Please sign.” Elena’s hand shook slightly as she lifted the pen, her mind racing with the weight of the lie she had built around this act. Signing her name was more than ink on paper; it was a commitment, a binding tether. Her signature was firm, deliberate, forced into a shape of confidence she did not fully feel. Adrian signed his as well, his expression unreadable, though she thought she saw the faintest flicker of approval in his eyes. It was done. In a legal sense, they were married. The reality of it hit her like a quiet wave, leaving her stunned. Two names, one union, endless complications, and a fragile truth hidden beneath layers of deception.

"Ready to go home, husband." They were going back to the same spot they had left that morning, but as essentially different people, Grace thought as they drove through the familiar streets of their neighbourhood to their flat. Marriage had formalised what they already were…….partners, family, and each other's home…….not because it had altered them. "Max, what do you want to do for the rest of our wedding day?" "Order takeaway, sit on our couch and look through our wedding photos while pretending to watch something on N*****x."

I came out as if nothing had happened. "Or... There's another reason why he chose to consent to our marriage, am I right?" I added. Her calm face was replaced by glaring eyes and a sharp look at me. "Whatever you say, I know he still loves me. Don't be complacent, Cami. I'll get what's mine," she said stiffly. "And I'll make sure he comes back to me." I sighed without her noticing it. "What else can you do, Adeena. Just to remind you, we're married. I'm not the one you can fight, Adeena... It's the law," I answered boldly. She nodded.

The couple embraced their new roles as husband and wife with unwavering devotion, building a life together filled with laughter, understanding, and unbreakable bonds. Ice's family grew; the children who once nestled close during that beautiful wedding are now thriving and forging their own paths. The scars of the past had not disappeared, but they had faded into stories of strength and resilience, teaching future generations the importance of standing up for what was right and finding the courage to heal.

THE WORD marriage was a big word for me. If ever you’ll enter into the sacrament of marriage, you must be ready for the lifetime commitment because marriage wasn’t just a stage of life where you wanted to marry someone at first then if you get tired, you’ll leave him or her. In the stage of marriage, there was no room for playing. People weren’t playing at this stage. Before two people enter this stage, you two must be very sure that you love each other and that both are willing to enter into a lifetime commitment. Being married to someone was the starting point where you will be building a family with your partner.

1: Divorce after 5 years. - Rule No. 2: Intimacy is not allowed. - Rule No. 3: Separate rooms until divorce. - Rule No. 4: No interference in each other's private business. - Rule No. 5: No falling in love with the other party. - Rule No. 6: Angel goes with her mum after the divorce. "What part of 'I don't want to marry you' don't you understand?" I retorted, feeling overwhelmed by frustration and anger.

It's a moment filled with anticipation, as if the world around them fades away, leaving only the two of them, bound by their vows and newfound connection. The kiss lingers for a moment, a symbol of hope and the beginning of a journey they are about to embark on together. They pull away, their eyes locked, and a shared understanding passes between them. It was all for show but felt so real. They turn to face their loved ones, their faces radiating joy and determination. Hand in hand, they walk back down the aisle, ready to embrace the adventure that lies ahead, their marriage of convenience transformed into something more profound and beautiful.
