Novel & Cerita Flash Marriage

I was like a puppy, eagerly wagging my tail at the sight of a fresh meal. "Will you marry me?" he asked, pulling out a tiny box with a glittering diamond ring that caught the club’s lights. "No, no, no," I muttered, staring at my phone screen, but my words were the exact opposite of what I had said in the video. "Yes, stranger, I’ll marry you," my intoxicated self slurred, and a cold chill ran down my spine. My eyes darted to my hand, and there it was—the same glittering diamond ring from the video on my index finger.

She fiddled with her phone, opening up a tweet that read: “Billionaire Mar cus Stanfield, set to wed Mirabelle Capewood in two weeks instead of her sister, Amanda Capewood.”

His eyes flickered to his classic onyx wristwatch and then back to my face, “You have just a minute left to answer me.” “Wait what? What the hell? I don’t know you or your name, and you want me to suddenly marry you? What the hell? Who does that? Are you insane? I-“ “I’m Dawson Briggs, and it’s a flash marriage. We could be on a contract if you’d like, the marriage could last a year or two. Long enough for me to get what I want, and for you to be well- not who you are.” I noticed the snarky tone.

Flashes started as soon as we stepped in. Jasmine took the mic first. "I want to thank everyone for coming today," she paused and looked at me, I nodded at her to keep on the speech. "Like I said at my press conference, I love my husband and we have renewed our vows." We both waved our fingers to the new flashy rings. And there came flashed from the cameras. She cleared her throat. "And not just our hearts are united again," she continued. "Our businesses too." I stepped forward now.

A blurry selfie filled the screen. Her giant grin mssing tooth. The flower crown tilted badly. Caption: “You better come early, latest bride.” A laugh escaped me before emotion hit immediately after. I loved them so much. Another notification appeared beneath it. News article. “THE WEDDING OF THE YEAR: Leo Williams and Kiara Mitchell, Set To Marry Today In Switzerland.” I stared at the headline too long. Then another one. “From Scandal To Soulmates?” And another. “Billionaire Redemption Story Captivates The Internet.”

“They need a story.” She sat up. “And we’re giving them one.” “Yes.” The certainty in his voice unsettled her more than doubt would have. The next leak hit before breakfast. A wedding clip—short, carefully edited—circulated like wildfire. It wasn’t official footage. It wasn’t clean. It was intimate in a way that made Celeste’s stomach drop. Arrow’s hand shaking slightly as he held hers. Her breath catching during the vows. The moment she blinked rapidly, fighting tears.

“Give this man an Oscar and this woman her man back!” The hashtags were unstoppable: #TillAutumnDoUsPart. #LakeAndIvy. #PretendButReal. Fan edits appeared within hours—slow-motion montages of their laughter, their fights, that kiss. Teenagers recorded crying reaction videos. Couples tagged each other, captioning it, “This is so us,” as if their arguments could somehow hold the same cinematic glow. Even celebrities joined the frenzy. A bestselling romance novelist tweeted: “Just watched the fake marriage film from that retreat. WHOLEHEARTEDLY obsessed. Where’s the book deal?”

"That's impossible, she was your ex_girlfriend and she rejected your proposal for marriage, she....." "Make it work mom. Get me married" First episode is out. What can you all say about Jordan Chase?

" Mary shouted. Lucas got even angrier at Mary's words. "Didn't you hear what your daughter is talking about? Everything is ready for the wedding. She was supposed to get married next week, and now she is saying she does not want to get married. You know how much damage your daughter has done for this nonsense in that interview. Mr. Center's Grandfather has come to know about this and has canceled all deals with us. When this news spreads in the market, the price of my company's shares will start falling. We will have to face huge losses that we will never be able to recover from. I can't let this happen," Lucas said angrily.

One would think this union was a happy one. I watched everyone with a plastic smile on my face. I hated it all. I never imagined to ever get married in these circumstances especially not to Dante Morelli but I just had to. Now, we were on our way back to what was my new home. I stared at the window, my thoughts bedevilling. I would either die in the course of this marriage or live a miserable life. Dante took of his tuxedo and removed the buttons of his shirt. From the corners of my eye, I noticed he had his eyes on me.
