Living In A Loveless Marriage Novels & Stories

Anything and everything, we never ran out of topics—celebrities, the fashion industry, music, business, school gossip, until we ended up discussing love.

Startled to hear that, Xavia replied, “…Huh? Why not?” “Well… Sure, this place is luxurious, but after all that’s happened, I’ve learned that marriage isn’t all about perfection. To clarify, remember how I kept trying to push you away when my legs weren’t functioning? It was because I couldn’t accept the fact that you would have to live in an imperfect marriage. Had I not been so stubborn, then maybe things could’ve gone much smoother…” “Anyway, the flat that you bought me is honestly the true definition of what love should feel like… Not too grand, and full of thought and consideration… With that said, we’ll be continuing to live there from here on out.”

When she was finally done, she got to know that there were no groceries. “OH!” she let out a weary sigh and shook her head, “What am I doing with my life?

"So that you know where I stand," she said, voice unwavering. "I am not going to pretend to buy into this nonsense. I highly recommend you do the same." She rose, scooping up her books. “Now, excuse me while I attend to some much-needed studying.” With that, she exited leaving me there thinking in circles. Forced marriage, broken engagement, Karen's reappearance - such a mess my life had become and I had no idea how to fix it.

I could hear his controlled breathing and feel the weight of his stare pressing against me. "Listen, Nelly," he said, at last, his voice even but firm. "This marriage will be purely contractual. No strings attached. In public, we’ll pretend to be a loving couple. In private, we go our separate ways." His eyes burned into mine, leaving no room for misunderstanding. "Especially for my parents—we just need to convince them we’re in love so they’ll stop meddling." He exhaled slowly before continuing. "If you agree, I’ll take care of your grandmother’s medical bills. It’s just for a year, and then we both walk away. No complications, no expectations."

George said. I gulped a lump down my throat. I think it was time for me to use my charms to lure George into falling deeply for me. I just had to, no matter what. That was how desperate I was.

Emma gazed at the sparkling diamond ring on her finger, feeling its heavy presence. The ring symbolized a commitment, but not one born of love or choice. Instead, it represented a binding agreement, a contract that tied her to a stranger. She had always envisioned her dream wedding, with a loving partner, laughter, and joyful tears. But this reality was far from her fantasy. The man she was engaged to was practically a stranger, someone she hadn't fallen for, hadn't shared memories with, or built any connection with.
