“Please, you always look angry. I get it, I’m not like those beautiful women that are passed around your families.” Johannes tapped his thigh. “It’s not an escort service. They don’t get passed around. Marriages form strong alliances. They build power and wealth.” “And they forget about love. Women don’t need to feel that, right?” “Love is never brought into the equation.” “Have a lot of successful marriages?” she asked. “Yes. We have zero divorce.” “Just unhappy marriages for the women?” “You’re infuriating.”

I was happy that there are no chances that she can love me. She felt disgust and hate for me. That intense detest can never be removed and it worked in my favor as I don't have to go through that feeling of betrayal again. When I don't love her, why'd I marry her? I have to get married to her but I can't give her love and moreover, I have turned this marriage into nothing but a mere display of ravish and repugnance for her. ‘That poor soul doesn't even know a thing.

"You want a Stepford wife without sex. Have you learned anything about women since you were 14?" (Stepford: derived from the horror film Stepford Wives. It usually refers to obedient housewives.) "I've learned a lot. That's why Uncle Earl forced me to join an organization that puts women first." She gaped her mouth. "Men always get a lot out of marriage!" "Eg?" "Sexual routines and favors." "After six months, the headaches start coming and you'll be bored to the point of crying." "Some people live to old age together." "Men never want to get old. That's why they keep looking for young women."

Amber was ridiculed, she had many ideas in her head and wanted to share them with him but he had to back off at such a point after making her all excited and full of curiosity, what a joy killer.

I really don’t want to get married, especially since I don’t even know the man that I need to marry. I’m starving myself to death, but my parents don’t seem to care at all. Maybe because they know that I will come out from my room if I can’t take my hunger anymore. I thought if I starved myself, they would change their mind because they know that I really don’t want to get married. But I guess I’m wrong. Father was right, they don’t care at me at all. They are just focused on their companies and not me. I sighed and thought carefully. I should make a wise decision now. I can’t continue to starve myself anymore.

What the hell are we going to do in Ceder Falls? I can not believe I am married to a man I do not love. It is the second time in my life that this has happened. At least the first time, I married for money. Lorenzo Costa is a loser. He was addicted to drugs and alcohol and had a lot of scandals in Hollywood.

Who would not want to be married for love? I saw how Cassy and Caleb changed because of love; and watched in awe how that love speaks volumes, even at a glance. Love is wonderful if it's reciprocated. And I want that kind of love. Adam scoffed. "Love is overrated. Look at our marriage statistics. How many are getting divorced yearly? If we enter marriage and think of it as a contract, there would be fewer hearts broken in the end."

She deliberately proposed a marriage contract to fulfill her ego. "You two have to clear up your misunderstandings." Sophie pointed right at Helena's face. "Otherwise, your marriage won't last long," she added, warning of the worst that could happen. Helena gasped. In her worst vision, she never imagined the end of her marriage with Aaron. At least, not that fast. "But-But, we promise to keep our marriage," she stammered a little. Doubts began to creep into her heart. And anxiety arose when the image of Aaron who left her danced in her brain.

"Don't try to tell me what to do. I think it's better for us to separate, Sofia. I don't want my good name tarnished by marrying a prostitute like you. Let's divorce, Sofia.” Nicholas turned to leave, looking very disappointed in me. Just a few days ago he had begun to be kind to me like a husband, and now our marriage was in danger of dissolving.
