Novel & Cerita Marriage Of Convenience Read Online

It was a simple ceremony. No guests, no parties, no vows of happiness. Only Chloe and Ruan in front of a judge, surrounded by the chaos of her parents’ house and buried under memories and suffering. There was no way that marriage could succeed. His gray, cold eyes locked on Chloe the moment the judge declared them husband and wife. No matter how deeply his disdain struck her, Chloe simply wasn’t prepared for how beautiful he was. With the last ounce of dignity she had, she lowered her head, refusing to look at him. Every time she looked at Ruan and saw his irresistible beauty, guilt pierced her even deeper for what she had done the night before.

Eric exchanged an icy gaze at me, causing me to swiftly look away as we resumed our steps to where a rounded, considerable table filled with people were. “Keep playing cool, people are getting convinced by our acts. Now, we're joining them for dessert, so stay beside me and do what I do” Eric paused and flashed a smile across a guest he recognized before glaring back at me. “And did I also forget to tell you it's only for a year? This marriage is a one-year thing, and we'll break up after that.”

“Kind of killed the party vibe. And besides…” I let the silence draw out, savoring her frustration. “It wasn’t a real wedding anyway. Business deal.” I slipped back into my chair, gripping the armrest until my knuckles went white. “Marriage of convenience. Nothing more. I needed it to secure the seat.” She blinked faster now, scrambling to catch up. “So you married some random girl for the title?” she snapped. “Exactly.” Her face twisted, something ugly and furious clawing at the surface, but she forced it back into a pretty, poisonous smile.

The word feels way too sentimental for what sits on the table between us. The documents are placed in front of us, the stack thick enough to make my stomach tighten. I didn't expect so many pages. I tell myself it is standard, that wealthy families always complicate things with paperwork, but as I look down at the dense text, I can't ignore the feeling that this is more contract than marriage... Mr Whitmore clears his throat lightly. “I will read the key terms aloud before we proceed with signatures.” Stephano leans back slightly in his chair, one arm resting along the armrest, his expression bored as he stares at Mr Whitmore while his parents remain calm and observant.

my father said, wiping his mouth with the tablecloth, then looking at me. I already knew what my father was talking about, and Mr. Christenson's reason made me sick. My father and Mr. Christenson plan the marriage to get benefits from both families. I agree with it because it was for the sake of the company, but marrying Christenson's heiress just to help her clean her name makes me want to just disappear. Getting involved with that woman would give me a bad image.

Jonathan said as he looked at her, “it doesn't have to be a real marriage, so to speak. But it will also give you a sense of security because not only of the insurance but of the name change. I have my last name, and then your stepmother can't find you as easily.” “I see,” she said. She looked at him. There was nothing nefarious that he was coming up with. It was all things to benefit her, but it was those things that would detriment him. “Basically, I'm proposing a marriage of convenience for the two of us. It would allow you to get medical care and be able to change your name without going through the court and being able to have your stepmother find out about it. For right now, I'm not ta

I’M PRETTY sure that Keandrick would find a way of getting out of the mess that I brought. I think I am bad luck here because ever since I entered the picture, I brought a mess to him. Yeah, what luck. After the confirmation of that fucking real marriage certificate by Darwin, my mind was like wandering in another universe, still processing these unending weird happenings around me. While Keandrick on the other side, immediately called someone on the phone I assumed that he was going to file an annulment of this so-called marriage thing I’ll be thanking him for that but that will be after if we get successfully annulled.

"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.

I won’t let this go easily. “I won’t let you ruin my marriage, you horrible cheat!” I said through gritted teeth. Janette laughed, a cruel sound that echoed through the room, like that of a croaked, ugly witch from a ‘90s movie. “Your marriage is already in ruins, Megan. And it’s your fault. You just won’t admit it. But don’t worry, I will make it easier for you. I will be the one to cheer and console Charles when he finally divorces you.”

He handed it to me and flopped onto the couch like he had no care in the world. I opened the envelope and scanned the front page. MARRIAGE CONTRACT. I looked up at him, stunned. “Are you serious?” His face was unreadable. “In there are the terms. My expectations. The dos and don’ts. Rules of this marriage.” The words stung more than I thought they would. “This was supposed to be simple,” I whispered. “Fake, yeah, but simple.” Jason’s eyes met mine. “It is simple. Just business, Nelly. That’s all.”
