After Three Years Of Silent Marriage Novels & Stories

I pulled the documents closer and opened it. I couldn't believe what was staring at my face. *Dissolution of Marriage Agreement.* The room started spinning immediately. My vision blurred at the edges. I searched for words at that moment but couldn't find any... Three years. Three years of swallowing his silence. Convincing myself that marriage was just a season that required patience. Buying new curtains for a house he never came home to.Praying and hoping each day,that he'll finally look my way again. I loved him until my ribs ached. And he had spent our third anniversary dinner drafting my eviction.

she said. He did not respond immediately. Then he said, "Alright." That was it. There was no goodbye, no hesitation, and no emotion.

He knew what she meant. The silence that followed seemed endless. He continued undressing, pulling off his shirt before giving a deep sigh. At last, he looked up. “You are my wife. Isn’t that enough?” he said quietly. There it was again. That kindly, patient tone one used with someone fragile, someone being unreasonable. Emboldened, Rebecca looked into his eyes. They were a clear grey-blue, untouched by panic, devoid of any hint of desire. “I have been your wife for three years, Vance,” she dared continue. “In every way except the one that makes it a true marriage.”

Mara's POV "Sign it." The divorce papers landed on the marble desk between us like a verdict already decided. I didn't flinch. I'd been practicing not flinching for three years, through cold silences at breakfast, holidays spent alone in a house too large for one person, nights I'd learned to stop listening for his footsteps in the hallway.

Ashamed. “Mom hasn’t been well either.” I stayed silent. “She barely leaves her room anymore.” The baby shifted again, and Grace bounced it gently before continuing. “I didn’t tell you this but… I got married three years ago.”

My voice came out barely above a whisper. He nodded slowly. Didn't say anything else. The silence stretched between us. Thick and suffocating. This was where it ended. Where our marriage officially died.

No one was listening to my silent prayer and no one cared. Three days had passed since my father announced he would marry me off. I’d rather see it as him trading me away like a deal he has been waiting to put on paper. No explanation, no warning. Just him breaking the news to me not caring about the way it cut through my skin sharper than a blade.

"No time limit on the marriage." --- Three Hours Later The limousine was too quiet. We were on our way to my family’s mansion, the contract signed, the small celebration at the hotel already fading into the background. The real performance was about to begin. She stared out the window, her back to me. I hadn’t said a word since we got in the car. The silence was thick, charged with tension. I needed to remind her of the terms of the marriage contract so I tapped on her back to get her attention.

"You show it. Your actions, your silence, your indifference... it all speaks louder than any words ever could." I stare at her, feeling a pang of guilt, but no regret. She's not wrong.

But I've been holding on, refusing to let go, refusing to acknowledge the reality of our situation. I don’t even know who I am anymore. I haven’t felt this lost in years.
