Contract Marriage The Replacement Groom Novels & Stories

Faith asked to fill the awkward silence. "Obviously. Kalen, my one, and I have wanted a baby for a long time." "What's a 'one'?" Faith asked. "Well, vampires don't marry; they have soul mates. When you find your soul mate, you mark each other, claiming them as yours, and you as theirs. They are your One, forever and ever. Infidelity is a crime punishable by death. When you have found your One you are called 'bonded' vampires, and become more powerful now that you are united with your other half. Also any normal vampire can only create offspring with their One, however royalty are obviously more powerful and can reproduce with anyone." Katherine explained calmly as if she were just talking ab

He concluded. "The contract can remain active and I can pretend to be your wife for your business' sake but what about my mum? Someday you will a lady that you love and will marry and then, what will become of me? Even if you never found anyone, the contract will expire. I don't seem to have any future with you so we should stop deceiving each other" Rachel lamented. "I was thinking of holding a fake ceremonial wedding before but now we don't need a wedding at all.

He asks, “Because if you would, then let’s just forget about it and just let your wolf go berserk and destroy anything that stood in her way.” He was about to stand up and leave but I held on to his arm. I was desperate. If Mikey decided to come tomorrow and my wolf was in the state that she was in. I’m afraid that Mikey would misunderstand that my wolf doesn’t like him. “I’ll listen,” I said softly. “Okay,” DK said as he sat in front of me, “contracted marriage is not like the usual marriage that you know. Yes, they will be married, but it would only be because of the contract that they have agreed on,” DK started to explain once again.

His jaw clenched as if each word of the vows was a thorn cutting into his pride. “I, Ethan Caldwell, take you, Maya Anand.” His voice was steady but devoid of emotion. Maya swallowed hard; her throat dry. She repeated her vows, her voice low but clear. Each syllable tasted like surrender. When the officiant declared them husband and wife, Ethan didn’t so much as glance at her. Instead, he turned his wheelchair sharply, motioning for the staff to follow him out of the hall. Maya, left standing alone at the altar, felt the silent stares of the guests prickling her skin.

I’M PRETTY sure that Keandrick would find a way of getting out of the mess that I brought. I think I am bad luck here because ever since I entered the picture, I brought a mess to him. Yeah, what luck. After the confirmation of that fucking real marriage certificate by Darwin, my mind was like wandering in another universe, still processing these unending weird happenings around me. While Keandrick on the other side, immediately called someone on the phone I assumed that he was going to file an annulment of this so-called marriage thing I’ll be thanking him for that but that will be after if we get successfully annulled.

Unfortunately, Olwen couldn't do it. "Ladies and Gentlemen." The priest began, looking at everyone present: "We are gathered here to bless and witness the union of a couple. In this marriage before God." After he finished speaking, facing the groom, he asked. "Jack Ramos. Do you accept Olwen Kelly as your wife? Promise to remain faithful, in good times and in bad times, in sickness and in health, to love and respect her every day of your life. me?" "I agree." He quickly said yes with a hidden smile. Jack even pretended to look at Olwen with affection.

Back at the hotel, we signed the marriage contract and had a small celebration; the big party was to take place in his parents' mansion. I was looking out the window when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to my husband; he raised his phone to me and showed me what he was writing on his notepad app. The message said, "I don't want the driver to hear us, so write your response here. I agreed to eliminate the one-year time limit from our marriage contract and informed my lawyer of this new arrangement. In exchange, I expect you to keep your part of the deal and act like a happy bride, especially in front of my parents." After I read the message, I took the phone from him, typed, "I understa

Derek moved her straight into our newly renovated house—the one we hadn't even spent a night in together—and put her up in the master bedroom. Now it was basically "Riley's place." My phone buzzed with a message stating that the marriage license appointment was canceled. I also received another message: a text from someone else, with a screenshot of a new appointment confirmation. [Three days. County clerk's office. See you there.] I smiled. Genuinely this time. Me: [Yeah. See you there.] The ballroom lights went dark, and I walked out slowly into the blackness. They could keep the "unforgettable" wedding.

He was quite a pretender, people would think we have been dating for a long time seeing how he was touching my face. “You are late” I said tonelessly. “Had to attend to something, I am here now, your groom is right here.” “Shall we?” He asked for my hand. We said our vows, and I was surprised he didn't omit any words as promised. It was just a contract marriage, I didn't expect him to complete his vows, and I swayed away by his serious gaze as he said those words. “You may now kiss the bride.” I looked at him, and shook my head telling him not to do it, but that was fruitless. I was caught off guard when he pulled my waist closer to him, and smashed his lips on mine.

“I do. It is no different to a business deal. We come to an agreement and everybody sticks to their side of the deal. And of course, there are clauses. Which includes you. Just in case something goes wrong. He was talking nonsense. “So I’m just a replacement to you?” “Wasn’t that an already established fact?” He shook his head. “I had no idea you existed before a couple of days ago. So if you really want me to tell you word for word, yes then. You’re just your sister’s replacement and as I did not have any interest in your sister, I see no reason things should be any different with you.” “Marriage is a contract and we just need it to get it signed and then go on with our respective lives.
