Marriage Of Convenience Romance Novels นิยาย & เรื่องราว

"It's an outdated view. It is also legally binding." "And your brother?" "Is already married." A pause. "Conveniently." Cara looked back at the paper. "So you need a fiancée." "I need a convincing one," he said. "Someone my family will believe. Someone who won't be intimidated by the environment, won't become emotionally confused about the arrangement, and won't cause problems when it ends." "And you think that's me." "You argued back in a café full of people who were waiting for you to apologize," he said. "You weren't intimidated then. I don't expect you will be now."

Why in the world would he ask me to marry him? It was some of the most absurd stuff that I had ever witnessed in my life. I had seen this in movies and in the romantic book by my nightstand that helped me escape my rough reality before going to sleep. The only place where this sort of cheesy cliché stuff happened, and I got butterflies in my belly, was in the movie, yet when it happened to me in the real world, I blacked out. Mr. Astor was extremely clear about the terms of the marriage, yet there was a hole in the story that he told me.

I asked, “This isn’t how people getting married. So many marriages fail despite the couple being in love-” “Who said anything about making this work?” He frowned as though I had introduced an entirely foreign issue to our current conversation, which I later realised that I had. “This is a marriage of convenience. When we reach a point where we can’t stand eachother anymore, we take a divorce and go separate ways.” I was well aware of him and how he worked. I knew that he meant every single word he said and that he wouldn’t hesistate before making it all come true.

I questioned, wanting his opinion. “Can’t you live not caring about your grandma’s fortune taking away from her?” he bit back, consuming the coffee. And I smile, showing my teeth. “Fair play. We don’t have any other way than this. What an ill fate!” I commented, and he nodded in agreement. “I had four bargains for this marriage,” I began. “One, I can do what I want as long as it doesn’t ruin our families.” “Fair, so am I,” he said, revealing his drop-gorgeous smile. The pleasures in his countenance, pondering for a second. “That’s a new one, huh.”

But I found out he didn't feel the same about me on our wedding day. Okay, to be perfectly honest with you and me. I knew he wasn't head over heels in love with me. But ladies, you know what I thought. I thought he would eventually fall in love with me because I'm sweet and love this man so much. Only if he gave our marriage a chance could we live blissfully ever after. But I had no idea how much he didn't love me and didn't want to marry me. So to envision him falling in love with me, from what I experienced at our wedding and in our marriage, it appeared it would never happen. Despite all that, we are married. So did love ever emerge to the surface? If it did make its appearance, was it du

That’s when he proposed marriage. Thinking back at that, I can’t help but laugh. “What’s so funny?” Gabriel asks, just as he moves from his side of the table to mine. We are now seated side by side. My eyebrows rise in question at his unexpected action. He doesn’t say anything, so I shrug and answer his question. “I just realized that my marriage with Liam was also a marriage of convenience. We married because we wanted the convenience of companionship, friendship and sex without having to risk the heartbreak that comes with being in love.”

She hadn't changed, she looked pretty as ever, her brunette hair styled in a bun, a red lipstick plastered prettily on her lips, she was styled in a red short gown which rested dangerously just above her knees, matching it with a black louboutin. She was just like before, nothing about her had changed. Red, she loved red so much, she still seems to do so even now. And that pretty little smile she puts on her face everytime, even when she's mad, or sad, or annoyed, she had exactly the same one on. Her pretty little manipulative smile. The one he fell easily for in the past. Her, whom he loved so much, even after she abandoned him exactly three months after they had gotten married, without a w

Zachary remained quiet and let out a chuckle, “That's not how marriage of convenience works, Leah. We should both benefit from it. From what I see it's just you benefitting. I will help you be chairman of Cooper Groups and we register our marriage for real and have a public wedding as you wish in a few months. We will have a real marriage like any other couple. That's the deal and for your knowledge after your father I have most shares in Cooper Groups.” If it was not for the last line, there was no way I would accept his offer. But he was the easiest bait to get my spot. Sacrifices for what I want. That sacrifice being married to the man I hate the most. He was Zachary I know. Once he is do

“We’re merely keeping up appearances. The man that forced Finn into this marriage has been sniffing around, and Finn thinks he suspects the marriage isn't real.” Crossing her arms on her chest, she said, “So you’re saying all this drama is just to fool a businessman?” “That’s the deal.” “That’s stupid,” she snapped. “You two have fire, the chemistry and the spark of a real couple. You can’t fake that even if you tried.” Looking down at my hands, I let out a low sigh. I didn’t want to admit it but deep down, I knew she was right. There was something between us but something real didn’t come with an expiration date.
