Novel & Cerita I Regret Marrying An Older Man

I felt like something inside me was breaking, splintering into pieces and I wasn’t sure before I could put it back together. My mind drifted to the earlier days of our marriage. The days he’d call me three times just to hear my voice. The nights we stayed up talking until morning. How we danced in the kitchen while cooking. How he’d carry me to bed when I fell asleep on the couch. How he’d tell me, “You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.” What happened to that man? Where did he go? Who is this stranger wearing my husband’s face?

" I tried to find even a small trace of the husband I once knew, but there was nothing left.The person standing before me was no longer the man I once married too.My heart ached, and tears threatened to fall. I was speechless. I was just about to turn away when Nathan suddenly grabbed my wrist. His hand pressed against the scratches Sophia had caused earlier, and I couldn't stop myself from wincing in pain. Nathan pushed me back toward where I had been standing. The force sent me crashing against the wall, making my back ache from the impact.

My calendar notification appears at 6:50 AM: Five Years. I dismiss it. I already know what day it is. I have known since I woke at 4 AM and couldn't fall back asleep. Five years ago today, I was supposed to marry Elena Sinclair at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Three hundred guests. String quartet. Flowers imported from Ecuador because Elena mentioned once that she loved blue hydrangeas. Instead, I spent that day in my father's office, listening to him explain why choosing her meant losing everything.

I faced him just to see that he was in a towel, drying his hair off with the small towel. "So you want to make me a bad person, right? You are playing the victim right now. I have all the rights to be angry at you. If I had known you were younger than me. I wouldn't have gotten married to you." "So do you regret getting married to me?" He asked. That question hit me. I just looked away. "Isn't it ridiculous? I am married to a guy that I am older than. I know you knew I was older than you and that was the reason why you lied about your age." I literally yelled at him.

“I know. One day, we’ll have the chance to talk about it. And I’m sorry, grandpa.” “For what, baby?” “For being such a huge disappointment. This isn't how it was supposed to go. I was supposed to get married to someone who I loved and who loved me back. But no, I chased after someone who despised me and made you arrange for us to get married. I was supposed to take over the company someday, but here I am. Running away from what was once my home because of the foolish mistakes I made.” “You are not a disappointment to me, Camilla. You are a blessing, both you and Rory. You guys are the best things to ever happen to me.”

“Why would she ask to see me of all people?” “Because Sophia is an angel from the sky. She still thinks of monsters like you even in pain.” I smiled sadistically, “The way you speak of me, you would think we weren’t married at some point.” He stared at me through the rearview mirror, “Of all my regrets, marrying you was my biggest one.” His words stung more than they should. “You know, even though you’ve hurt me to the point of no repair, I wouldn’t even say what you just said—especially to your face.”

I said, the words tumbling out before I could stop them. Lucy's face turned ugly with rage. "What did you say?" I stood up, feeling stronger with each word. "I said, I can't marry you. This... us... it's a mistake. I'm sorry." "You can't do this to me!" Lucy screamed. "After everything we've been through!" "I'm sorry," I said again, and I meant it. "But it's over." As Lucy stormed out, slamming the door behind her, I felt a weight lift from my shoulders.

And yet he had to admit that she was quite good at pretending that her life was okay just the way it was. "So, what happens when you are all old and gray?" "Personally,I have always thought that getting married just because you don't want to be alone when you are old and gray is utter bullshit. Like why would you spend almost thirty-five years with someone you know you're not happy with just because you do not want to be alone when you are old and gray? What if i lose my memory and can't even remember him? Think of all the miserable moments I would have avoided, but oh no I had to endure it just because I was scared of being alone when I'm all old and gray. That is not the union of body and

“Eventually, I missed you so much that I’d start staring at our wedding photos whenever I could, and I even hugged your old clothes just to get a hint of your scent… Alas, doing all that only made me worry about you even more. After all, I had no idea at the time whether you were still even alive… I’ll be honest and say that I truly regretted marrying you at one point…” “Had I not fallen for you, then you wouldn’t have had to face all this constant torture… I got so convinced that I was the problem that I had even made up my mind that I would divorce you the second I found you! I just didn’t want you to suffer any more than you already had… Alas, upon finally reuniting with you, I couldn’t b

"I don't even know if you can hear me and I feel ridiculous doing this but I just feel like talking." She took a deep breath and smiled. "Your father is the love of my life, he's probably the only man I'd ever love like that because I can't see myself doing all this all over again. And I don't regret anything we did, on the comtrary, I'm glad I was able to understand what being with a man is. He's so kind and sweet and gentle and patient and loyal and all things good. He was so excited for this moment and it's such a big shame he's not here to be with you. He won't ever be able to do this with you baby and for that I regret everything. Perhaps if I had stood my ground that day when he threat
