Marriage Alliance For Revenge 소설 & 이야기

"I am not yours, Alexander. This marriage is a bargain, not a vow." He leaned in, his mouth against her ear, sending shivers she disliked herself for. "Then seal the bargain appropriately." Before she could object, his lips were on hers. It wasn’t tender. It wasn’t gentle. It was a command, a warning, and something darker a kiss that blurred the thin line between hate and desire. When he pulled away, her pulse was racing, her knees weak. His eyes gleamed with quiet triumph. “This marriage may have started as revenge,” he murmured, “but don’t forget, Isabella… every war has casualties.”

“Including your help with my revenge?” He nods, eyes holding a silent promise. I feel my pulse steady. My decision doesn’t have to be purely about love or sentiment. It can be strategic. It can be real. “Yes,” I say slowly, testing the word. My throat is tight. “I’ll do it. I’ll marry you. For Isabella. For her childhood, and for my revenge.” Damien’s eyes flicker, the faintest hint of surprise, before he recovers his calm. He steps forward, retrieving the marriage contract from the desk. “Then it’s settled. You will be her mother, Leina. And with that title comes everything I can offer you.”

Vivian kept her pace beside me, her eyes fixed on her phone, and I was secretly relieved she wasn’t in the mood for conversation. Our three years of marriage. Three years of unnecessary arguments and jabs. Three years of building a perfect facade of being a good husband. I had never thought we’d last this long. My initial plan was to destroy the video—the one that got me into this loveless marriage. Robert—Vivian’s father—had a video of the company’s dark past, a video that could bring my entire empire crashing down, and he was using it as leverage against me.

Shortly after, the chef came back and served two cups of coffee to us directly. "As I offered before..." "..." "I will help you take back the Hart family's dignity and wealth. But in exchange, you have to do a contract marriage with me for 3 years,” he said. I looked at him flat and replied, "How will you help me? Maybe you don't know this yet, but those two bastards used a dirty way to take over it all from me.”

He leaned back in his seat after speaking with so much authority and sincerity, he looked genuinely so attractive as he spoke. I cleared my throat, rubbing my glossy pink lips together, “Thank you but how?” “How what?” He smirked, and I rolled my eyes at the shift in his mood. “To get your revenge and to help you in getting every single thing back,……” He trailed off as if there was an inaudible drum roll waiting for him to finish speaking. “We are going to have to get married.” He suggested but not in a suggestive tone, it was like a ritual that had to take place and I couldn’t help but look at him with wide eyes.

Suzy simply nodded. Then she forced a small smile, even though her heart felt like it was breaking into pieces. As the lawyer walked out of the room, silence slowly filled the space. Her name was now written beside his. Suzy Moreno. The name she once dreamed of, she has now achieved but she is not happy. The man she had just married wasn't even there to witness it. Tears blurred her vision once again. “This marriage…” she whispered softly to herself. “—was never meant to begin with love.”

We are very sorry for not serving a refund when the wedding plans are only one week away. The preparations are 95 percent." "Ah, the preparations are 95 percent..." Arleena nodded her head, still looking calm. Then he turned his gaze to Justin. "Wow, did you hear that? What an asshole for ruining wedding preparations." Justin didn't react. But he didn't feel guilty at all. Arleena was well aware of the slight smile that briefly appeared on the man's face, making her heart grow furious.

“I’ve arranged a marriage for you.” The words hit me like a punch to the gut. For a moment, I thought I’d misheard him. “You… what?” “You’ll marry Daemon Reynolds,” he continued, as if it were the most logical thing in the world. “His family’s company, Reynolds Pharmaceuticals, has the resources to save ours.
