Maverick Spencer, my husband's older brother, sacrifices himself just to save my husband from a car accident. In order to repay him for his benevolence, my husband, Mateo Spencer, decides to move his newly widowed sister-in-law, Lily Shepherd, into our home. Mateo tells me, "Maverick died saving me, so I must repay him for his benevolence. He was the most worried about Lily when he still drew breath. In order to fulfill his death wish, I must let Lily stay with us. "Lily's biggest wish is to have a child of her own. I have no choice but to sleep with her. It's to repay Maverick, you see. Don't worry, Phoebe. Once she gets pregnant, I won't touch her ever again. You're the only woman for me." But since then, Mateo pays more and more attention to Lily. At the same time, he spends less time with me. When I notice the way he looks at me icily, I feel my love for him starting to get snuffed out. The day Lily finds out that she's pregnant is the day Mateo puts half of the Spencer family's assets under her name. Even the token of love Mateo has given to me on our wedding can be seen adorning Lily's finger. At that moment, I know that it's time for me to leave.

Na minha noite de núpcias, fui levada às pressas para o hospital de ambulância depois que um preservativo adulterado me causou uma dor insuportável. A cirurgia durou mais de vinte e quatro horas, e a notícia se espalhou como fogo em mata seca. Meu marido, Alexander, anunciou que quem conseguisse me fotografar no meu estado pós-cirúrgico seria recompensado com dez milhões de dólares. Da noite para o dia, passei de nova esposa de um bilionário a motivo de piada em todos os círculos de elite de Nova York. No dia seguinte, Dahlia, a namorada de infância de Alexander, apareceu à minha porta. Foi então que descobri a verdade: ela havia revestido o preservativo com cola industrial como parte do que chamou de “experimento social”. Ela não demonstrou nem um pingo de remorso. Seu tom era irreverente e cruel: — Foi só um experimento. Quer dizer, como eu poderia saber que você reagiria assim? Além disso, nós duas sabemos que você nunca foi boa o suficiente para o Alexander. Então, pare de fingir. Alexander estava ao lado dela, com um olhar frio e desdenhoso: — Se não fosse pelo contrato de casamento, ninguém teria se aproximado de você. Você sabe disso, não é? O que ele não sabia era que a mulher que ele chamava de vagabunda havia salvado a vida dele mais vezes do que ele poderia contar.

On the eve of our wedding, Evelyn Gates fell to her death. Everyone believed that, since I had always been devoted to her, I would take my own life to follow her. However, I didn’t shed a single tear. Three years later, I saw her again. Not only was she alive, but she had no memory of the past. “So you’re my ex-fiancé? After all these years, why do you look so broke and shabby now? For old time’s sake, I’ll give you one day a week to wait on me.” I didn’t even bother to look her in the eye. Evelyn had no idea that, on the very night she fell, I received a video recording. She didn’t know that, during the three years she spent pretending to have amnesia while traveling the world with Cole Anderson, I had gotten married. My bride was her older sister.

Di hari pernikahan kami, “adik” kesayangan Levin tiba-tiba pingsan. Dia pun meninggalkanku di atas altar dan menggendong adiknya itu pergi ke rumah sakit.

Sa isang marangyang hotel sa gitna ng lungsod, natagpuan ni Lily May Salvador ang panandaliang paglimot sa sakit ng pagtataksil ng kanyang asawa—sa bisig ng isang misteryosong estranghero. Isang gabing puno ng kapusukan ang nag-ugnay sa kanila, isang sandaling hindi niya inasahang mag-iiwan ng panghabambuhay na marka. Ngunit bago pa sumikat ang araw, pinili niyang lumayo, dala ang isang lihim na babago sa kanyang buhay. Siya ay buntis. At hindi lang isa—triplets ang kanyang dinadala. Sa paglipas ng mga taon, matagumpay niyang itinaguyod ang kanyang mga anak, malayo sa anino ng kanilang ama. Ngunit isang araw, bumalik ang kanyang dating asawa, desperadong humihingi ng pangalawang pagkakataon. Kasabay nito, isang hindi inaasahang pagtatagpo ang naganap—ang pagbabalik ng lalaking hindi niya kailanman nakalimutan, ang tunay na ama ng kanyang mga anak. Pareho silang may nais. Ngunit sa pagitan ng nakaraan at kasalukuyan, sino ang dapat niyang piliin? Ang lalaking minsang bumasag sa kanyang puso, o ang estrangherong itinakda ng tadhana para sa kanya?

Elsa a vingt et un ans quand elle épouse Alexandre Duval, l’héritier d’un empire culturel new-yorkais. Elle l’aime depuis ses seize ans. Lui accepte ce mariage arrangé par son père, sans passion, sans haine. Pour lui, Elsa est une épouse parfaite : discrète, dévouée, sans ambition. Il ignore tout d’elle — même sa voix. Car Elsa est une soprano lyrique exceptionnelle, un « accident de la nature » que son professeur appelait autrefois. Mais après la mort de ses parents à dix-sept ans, elle a tout arrêté. Elle n’a plus jamais chanté. Et Alexandre, en cinq ans de mariage, ne l’a jamais entendue. Tout bascule le jour où elle découvre que les « vitamines » qu’il lui donne chaque matin sont en réalité des contraceptifs. Qu’il l’a délibérément empêchée d’avoir un enfant, alors qu’elle pleurait après chaque test négatif. Qu’il retrouve Viviane, son amour de jeunesse, mezzo-soprano du Metropolitan Opera. Elsa part pour Londres avec une valise, les bijoux de sa mère et une décision irréversible. Là-bas, elle va peu à peu retrouver sa voix, ouvrir sa propre académie vocale, et rencontrer un homme qui, pour la première fois, l’entend vraiment. Pendant ce temps, Alexandre comprend trop tard ce qu’il a perdu. Et d’étranges révélations émergent. Entre renaissance artistique, suspense et roman d’amour, Mariage impossible est l’histoire d’une femme qui apprend à exister par elle-même et qui devient, note après note, libre.

After discovering that my sworn enemy was an incubus, I threatened him. "Marty, as long as you let me touch your tail, I'll keep your secret." Marty was both ashamed and furious, but in the end, with his face burning red, he still shoved his tail into my hand. Biting his lip in reluctant humiliation, he said, "We agreed—only once a day. Not a single touch more." But later, the very man who had insisted on "only once a day" knelt on the floor, crying as he begged me to touch it again, just one more time.
