Novel & Cerita Marriage By Law

She instantly knew they were part of social media before focusing back on my seemingly innocent face. In the end, Maria decided to adhere to professional ethics and handled the matters strictly by the rules. “I’m sorry, Ms. Bieber. We can’t process the marriage registration for you and Ms. Walbert because marriage between same-sex couples is illegal under our country’s current law and policies,” she explained.

A stranger with blood on his hands and power she couldn’t fight. Something unfamiliar twisted in my chest. I should have been annoyed but instead I was intrigued. This marriage was nothing more than a business deal. Right after the wedding, I intended to shove her into a glitzy mansion, pad her wallet with credit cards and cash, and check in on her only when I’d need her to attend a public function with me or when my Dad needed to tug on her father’s leash “You’re not allowed to be with other men in this marriage,” I said coldly.

"I think number three is unnecessary" "I don't think it is". He replies blandly. "We both know this marriage is a farce, Mr. De Luca. Asking me to respect terms and conditions…..". "A marriage is a marriage, Vanessa. Regardless of what they are bound by. When people get married on religious grounds, they are bound by the correlating religious laws and they respect them. You and I got married on…..well, not so conventional grounds. But that's not the point". He hastily adds.

I think the officiant decided to ignore that. "Do you, Isabelle Kimberly Greene, take, Ivan Trevelyan, as your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, fit or fat, for the rest of your life?" I hesitated, swallowing. Did I really want to do this? I mean, I had no other option. No marriage, no job. I felt the weight of stares from different angles on me particularly from behind me -where the bridesmaids were- and in front of me -where Mr. Asshole stood- I looked up to meet his gaze. His grey eyes were fixed solely on me, unmoving. His stare was daring. Daring me to say something stupid. Daring me to ruin everything.

Sebastian said. "I do not understand," said Charlotte. "It's simple. We get married just to get our families off our backs and we'll go our separate ways after a year. That way, we won't be breaching the term of the contract," Sebastian explained. Charlotte could see what Sebastian was driving at. If they got married, then they would fulfill the terms of the contract. The contract didn't say that they would have to be together for life. It only said that they had to get married to each other.

I needed to find a loophole that wouldn’t cost my parents or Lance their lives. “Lance told me that we were technically already married. He said that the ceremony was just a formality,” I complained. He nodded. “This is correct.” “Then, I can’t marry if I’m already married,” I pouted. “The marriage can be nulled by a challenge if it occurs before the wedding ceremony,” he said. “The ceremony is like a waxed seal on a document. It solidifies it so that no one can challenge it.”

I was careful to read precisely as written, but nearly stumbled on the words as I continued. "In consideration of my desire to undertake this commitment for the duration of my lifetime, I shall join the Master, Steven James Ross, in the legal bond of matrimony under the Laws of the State of Georgia on the Thirteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety three. The fulfillment of this contract being a precondition of said marriage, this agreement shall be incorporated into and shall survive the contract obligations of any convention of marriage."
