I Once Married You Novel の小説・ストーリー

CHAPTER FIVE —HADES As I gaze at Alison, I'm captivated by how pretty she looks just sleeping. Her peaceful expression and gentle breathing mesmerize me, and I can't help but smile. The stillness of the night envelops us, and I feel an overwhelming desire to simply be beside her, to bask in the warmth of her presence. But I can’t. Even if Alison is the woman that had once shaken my world and still the woman to still shake my world, even if I almost went crazy when she had to leave for her sudden studies— I can’t push past the fact that I am married.

Then she slipped out, closing the door softly behind her. The room felt different once she was gone — quieter, heavier. Jason looked at Bella for a long moment. “We’re really married.” She smiled faintly. “You sound surprised.” “I just…” He shook his head. “Didn’t think I’d ever get to have something that wasn’t taken away.” Her fingers slid down his arm. “You have it now.” He kissed her again, slower this time, his hands tracing down her back. She melted against him. And for a while, the world stopped mattering.

One second before the ceremony was set to begin, my groom, Alvin Mercer, suddenly turned and walked out. "Lillian, Hannah's exhibition is falling apart. She's home alone right now and I have to be with her. We'll reschedule the wedding." Hannah Deneuve was the maid's daughter he'd grown up with. I caught him by the cuff. My voice came out flat and cold. "Alvin, this is the sixth time you have called off our wedding for her. If you walk out that door today, you and I are finished." But Alvin flung my hand off. "Enough! We can get married any time. Hannah needs me right now!" He left without looking back, and my heart slowly went cold. The priest clutched his Bible, visibly uncomfortable, and

he ordered coldly, the secretary nodded and led me away from there. I couldn't believe that all this was actually happening. My brain froze as it all seemed like a bad dream. My whole life turned upside down within twenty-four hours. Yesterday, I was partying with my friends in New York and now here I am in Richmonte. Married to Sebastian Harding.

Cooking her meals instead of making her survive on cereal and reheated frozen dinners. I drift my arm across the surface of the water, watching the tiny ripples carry the rose petals away from me. That dream might as well be buried. I lean against the tub, the cold ceramic pressing into my back. I glance at my wrist. The bruise has almost disappeared, leaving behind only a dull dark mark. "It wasn't as bad as I thought," I whisper. I sink deeper into the tub. This month is full of surprises. The unpleasant and unwanted kind. Dominic slaps me in the face with a marriage contract, I get married in my living room on a Tuesday morning, reporters tail me to an inch of my life, then there's Eunice

Her eyes are closed. "Mi esposa," I whisper against her lips. (My wife.) The greenhouse erupts in applause. ******************** ~ANYA POV~ I am married. The thought keeps circling my brain, a shark in dark water. I am married to my rapist. I am married to my kidnapper. I am married to the man who drove a knife through my hand. The ring on my finger—a massive diamond that probably cost more than my parents' house—feels like a shackle.

The moment I step away, my chest tightens as though a band is wrapped around my ribs, squeezing tighter with each breath. The scent of vanilla still lingers in my nose, and I blink rapidly to keep the burn behind my eyes at bay. I hate that I have blanks in my head, so I don't know what the hell is going on, but I know that my marriage is not only a secret, but i fear he loves another. So why did we get married? Just as I round the corner, lost in my thoughts, I crash right into a wall of muscle. Strong hands shoot out to catch me before I can topple over.

Matteo saw the crowd around. He noticed the pool of blood oozing from between my legs. He panicked and tried to approach me to help me up. Tia grabbed hold of his arm. "What was happening?! Why were you planning a wedding with her? She seduced you and you got confused, isn't it?" The crowd surrounded him and started piping, "Sir, have you any idea how brazen that homewrecker was to have attacked your wife?!"

He said,”I came to see you and plead with you to come back to me, " he held the hand she kept on the table. Appalled, Celine quickly withdrew her hand ,not knowing that someone had snapped their picture already. “Don't hold my hand again,I am a married woman now and you are not my husband,so you don't have a right to do that.”she reprimanded him. “Okay dear I am sorry but I want you to think about my proposal,I can take care of you,than the business man you married, we will have fun together just like before and I promise not to abuse you again.”

He was mine, but what right did I have to him after everything I did when he wasn't around. "He is looking up, do you think he can sense that you're here?" Pascal said beside me and I immediately dropped to a squat to hide. "I can't let him see me like that," I said as I covered my face and turned to rest my back on the small wall. "And why not? From the last time I saw you both, I could very well see that you both were in love. I mean you broke the norms and got married without a care in the world, yeah?" He squatted beside me as he peeled my hand from my face.
