Marriage For One Novels & Stories

she said and my husband's shoulder slumped in defeat. He knew that part of what she said was true, no one in the city would pass up such an opportunity, he knew it was a life changing opportunity for us, for Ava and for Genesis as well. "Tick tock, I don't have much time on my hands. This marriage needs to take place in less than two weeks, so think fast. It ain't like you have got an option, this is the only way you can pay me back" she said wickedly and I sighed in defeat.

i muttered, clinking my glass to his in a bitter toast. “Is that so?” He chuckled, his gaze soft and unintrusive. “Not... not all, maybe,” i admitted reluctantly. “But the kind I keep meeting? Yeah. Definitely trash.” I laughed, though there was no humor in my voice. I had been talking too much, I know, but it was as if once I start, there is no stopping. “Seven years of marriage,” i continued, shaking my head, “Gone in an instant, and for what? A spark with an old lover, my stepsister!” I looked away, focusing on the golden lights. “Turns out I was... disposable.”

"That's not a problem, you can leave your husband and get a divorce from him. I don't care if you are married; you belong to me and me alone." "Are you crazy?!" Charlotte busted out in anger. She used all of her energy to push Christian's hands off her. "You really expect me to leave my husband for you?" "Listen Charlotte, I know five years have passed but I still feel the same way about you. Plus, I know that the marriage between Sebastian and you is just a contract marriage. You guys never even met prior to a month before your marriage." Charlotte's heart stopped beating for a moment when she heard Christian say that her marriage was based on a contract.

His deep, mysterious eyes flickered with an emotion I couldn't quite place. He stood there, speechless for what felt like forever. I stared at his face, so close to mine, and found myself lost in thought. He was undeniably handsome—he had strong features but not harsh, with an aura of quiet intensity. Yet, even facing such a breathtaking man, I felt nothing. "Noah, our marriage was always about business. There's no need to overthink it. "I've known about you and Lillian for a while now. You know what you should and shouldn't do. Grandpa cares a lot about the Brookes' reputation."

"Our word still stands: you're to marry Diana. If you refuse to do so, you must bring your bride and introduce us to the woman you want to marry. And you have just one month to do that." I was wide-eyed at what I had just heard. To them, this felt like a business deal. Where am I supposed to find a bride in a month?

“I’m marrying you, not them. Getting married these days is simple. We just need our IDs." Adora’s eyes widened. “You don’t need anything else?” “Right,” Louis confirmed, then, recalling her past, added gently. “You’ve been out of the loop these past few years. It’s a new law—now you only need an ID to register a marriage.” Adora truly hadn’t known. "Well? How about we go get the marriage certificate tomorrow?" "Are you serious? We haven’t even known each other that long. We just made things official!" "I'm completely serious. I’ve been single for years because I’m picky. And now that I’ve finally met someone like you, I’m sure of what I want."

I asked slowly. Ronan pulled out a chair and sat across from me. “We’ve been together for almost a year now. You’ve proven you’re committed to this life, to us. We’re committed to you. But right now, we’re just… together. No formal agreement, no clear understanding of what that means long-term.” “You want to get married?” I asked, my voice going high. “Not exactly,” Ronan said. “Marriage is designed for two people, and there are four of us. Legally, we can’t all marry each other. But we can create our own version. Something that works for us.”

I reply, smiling. “You… you’re not upset, are you?” he asks and I quickly shake my head. Why did I even have any sort of expectations? I’m stupid! Nathan and I may be married, but we’re not actually married. Well, maybe there are official documents and all, but a piece of paper isn’t enough to prove that people are married. Marriage is about love and communication and a unique connection between two people. Marriage should be between two people who know that they cannot live without one another, people who complete one another. Nathan and I haven’t reached that stage yet— we may not even reach it. If anything we’re just a boyfriend and a girlfriend, but definitely not husband and wife. I don

THE WORD marriage was a big word for me. If ever you’ll enter into the sacrament of marriage, you must be ready for the lifetime commitment because marriage wasn’t just a stage of life where you wanted to marry someone at first then if you get tired, you’ll leave him or her. In the stage of marriage, there was no room for playing. People weren’t playing at this stage. Before two people enter this stage, you two must be very sure that you love each other and that both are willing to enter into a lifetime commitment. Being married to someone was the starting point where you will be building a family with your partner.

Christ, what have I gotten myself into? “Rule one: We're not in love. This is a contracted marriage. There will be no love, no jealousy, no possessiveness, no asking about the other's whereabouts. All you have to do is play the role of a perfect wife, give birth, and leave with your body still intact.” He explained, and I swallowed, listening attentively. “Rule 2: never tell anyone about the contract. We're married, that's all anyone needs to know. Just those two rules. Do you understand?” He asked, and I nodded quickly, earning a satisfied smirk from him. “You can leave.”
