Bitter Sweet Marriage Novelme นิยาย & เรื่องราว

I hated my life. I sank into my bed as I admired the tattoo on my hand. Maybe all my bad fortune came from getting married to a man that’s over twenty years older than I am, and actually praying to see him again, even once; and then finally seeing him again but he’s married with two beautiful kids, and he can’t remember who I am, and then wishing that I our own marriage was legal and out to the world; maybe it started from all that.

“ That's a fucking lie! Stop lying to me!” Tania shrugged, taking some steps towards me. “ Believe what you wish,” her lips curled up further. “ But I'll make this very clear, you have nothing now…absolutely nothing.” “ W-What do you mean?” She stepped back, circling around me as she crossed her arms. “ Father's will stated that after three years of marriage, all his property would be transferred to your husband and— correct me if I'm wrong—today is your third wedding anniversary, isn't it dear sister?”

Her mother’s words echoed in her mind—not sharp like daggers, but like water seeping into soft soil, slow and deep, until it reached somewhere hard to touch. Juliet had said quietly over dinner, “Men who are successful in business... they’re usually very good at pretending.” It was clear who she meant. Grace had shot back instantly, “You didn’t even come to my wedding. How would you know what kind of man he is?” Juliet had merely lifted a spoonful of soup. “Some things are like this bowl of soup. It arrives hot—but everyone knows, if you leave it too long, it’ll eventually go cold.” She was warning her—again—that all marriages eventually change shape.

“What you weren’t expecting me to marry you as soon as you said yes?” She just looked at him feeling stupid. “Why do you want to marry me that badly?” she asked him. She searched his eyes for an answer. “Then why do you want to heal me so badly?” he asked her looking in her eyes. “I-I don’t know.” She said taking her hand out of his grip. “Look marriage is a big responsibility. How about we date each other and get to know each other better first.” He shook his head. “It’s not up for negotiation.”

It was the gift he had bought for me in Luzberg on our third wedding anniversary. Back then, he had said, "My love for you is like this diamond. No matter how many years pass, it will always shine." Since that day, I had carefully treasured the ring along with his promise. I truly believed our happiness would last forever.

The wedding photo was all that remained of us. The happier we looked in it, the deeper his pain now. He had never imagined that one day I would leave without a word.

Feeling gloomy, I didn't want to chat with someone who was essentially a stranger. "All right, sleep well. See you tomorrow.” I hung up the moment he said goodnight and stared at the ceiling in annoyance. What was marriage even? Was I supposed to just grab some guy and spend the rest of my life with him forever? Why couldn't I be blessed with love? Why couldn't I get the marriage I wanted? I used to believe I was the happiest woman in the entire world. Now, all I could remember was the bitterness of betrayal—and how it killed the idea of love for me forever.
