Marriage First, Love Second Novels & Stories

I entered and closed the door behind me. "Growing up, I always imagined my marriage as a perfect match with my Prince charming and living happily ever after full of passion and conquering thoughts. I wanted my partner gentle, kind and affectionate enough for us to have children of our own after years of crazy riot sex and love making. The day I signed that contract I threw that dream to the bin and allowed a mortifying story to happen instead. What is love for you? A simple pretty word? Used to fill women thoughts with dreams and manipulate their minds? Another way of trapping me to a death end and multiplying my pain making my sacrifice useless? Or a means to get attention from a pussy you'

he asked, sounding incredulous. “Absolutely,” I replied, my voice firm and unwavering. “You’ll have to learn to love me first before I give you anything.” My words felt like armor, even though my heart raced with uncertainty. Was I convincing him, or myself? His eyes narrowed as he studied me, his tone lowering. “And should marriage really be necessary for that?” “Marriage is more than a piece of paper,” I explained, stepping closer, wanting him to understand. “It’s a vow, a promise we make to each other. It’s proof of commitment, loyalty. It shows that you’re not just playing games with me.”

I stepped forward, knelt down, and looked him in the eyes. "Edward, would you be willing to form a bond with me? I want to be your mate." At my words, Edward's face lit up with overwhelming emotion. "I—I do! I'm willing!" He answered without a second's pause. Hearing his answer, I cupped his face in my hands and kissed him.

Both of them are already history. Calista sighed dramatically, tossing her hair. “You know, sometimes I regret marrying my first love, Gwen. I should’ve explored more! I'm so pretty to have settled down that fast.” Calista smiled. “So don't keep your eggs in one basket, Elena. If this one doesn’t work out, we will find another. There’s always another handsome man waiting under the next moon.” Elena shook her head. Her laughter was soft and genuine. “Alright, I get it, Calista. You should head home and rest now.”

“Why are you wearing this when it’s Dad’s sixtieth birthday? It’s an embarrassment to me. Where’s your wedding band?” Madison pulled her hand back. She hurriedly pulled the ring off. She stuttered out an explanation. “I saw this when I went out with some friends a few days ago. I thought it looked new, so I bought it. I’ll change it right now. I’ll just go…” I looked away. Evenly, I said, “No need. If you don’t like your wedding band, you can just throw it away.” After saying that, I walked past her and headed toward the mansion.

“Thanks, Aunt Marianne. I’m glad you feel so this time. I remember you hadn’t attended my first wedding.” Aunt Marianne smiled. “I have never liked your first wife. I believe marriage shouldn’t be forced on someone. One should only marry for love. If you love one another, your marriage will be a success. I’m glad you’ve found true love, Luke. You deserve it.” It was indeed an awkward discussion, but Luke hardly looked affected by it.

“Never have.” The air left my lungs and it felt like I had forgotten how to breathe. I looked down quickly, trying to gather myself. “That… that was a long time ago, William. Things are different now.” I swallowed. “This is my second marriage. It’s better we go simple.” He leaned forward slightly, his fingers curling gently around mine. “That first one was a mistake.” “This…” His thumb brushed over my knuckles. “This is going to be your first true wedding.”

"What are you talking about, Nick? I thought we were getting along all the time. Even though we've only been together for a short time, we've known each other for a long time. And I know that I'm your first love, right? So there's no reason for us to cancel our dream wedding. I know you love me too, right, Nick?" Amanda swayed in front of Nicholas and brought her beautiful face right in front of Nicholas' face, trying to seduce Nicholas into falling into her arms. But unexpectedly, Nicholas pushed Amanda, causing her to fall. "That hurts!" Amanda stroked her bottom on the floor. "Don't try to seduce me, I did fall in love with you, but that was before you slept with that guy. And don't think

"Why do you keep repeating such silly mantra to yourself? How long do you think you can hold down a loveless marriage?" "It's not loveless. I love him and he does too."
