Marriage Of Convenience Romance Novels の小説・ストーリー

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.”

Christian's frown deepened. "This marriage is based on a lot of business deals, Evelyn. You can't just divorce Alaric." Evelyn clenched her fists in frustration, feeling trapped. He took a heavy sigh. "There were a bunch of suitors I had offered you. You rejected everyone because you fell for Alaric. You even dropped your flourishing career and became a full-time housewife. What do you expect me to tell you?" His words hit Evelyn like a ton of bricks, the hurt and disappointment evident on her face.

I bit the inside of my cheek, "Then why are you marrying her?" "A marriage of convenience" he simply said. "It's common in our world." I tilted my head to the side. "What's a marriage of convenience?" "It's a contract marriage for political links and power and to ally with the British crime firm." I furrowed my eyebrows. I have never heard anything like that before. This man already had so much power. How much power can a person possibly crave? "My parent's marriage was also a marriage of convenience. My father married the princess of the Bratva to form an alliance with the Russians. My mother was an effortlessly lovable woman, he fell in love with her even before they got married..."

He looked at them silently for a moment before saying anything. He shook his head and said, “I generally avoid reading tabloids.” “However, this morning, I decided to do something different.” Alexander gave a single nod, showing no sign of worry. “We saw the article.” “It presents a most interesting image,” Harold told them. “One of a rushed marriage. A sudden romance. A young lady struggling to make ends meet, and a billionaire who needs to keep up his reputation.” He turned to Aria. “Tell me something, Mrs. Blackwood. Do you feel that you are in love with your husband?”

“Well, speaking of sniffing, I heard you were using my perfume again. Since when did you start caring about romance?” “Fell in love, or what?” I teased. Mia rolled her eyes, pretending to be offended. “I’m not in love! I just found a book about werewolves in love — it’s so exciting and romantic! They went through so much and found their way back to each other. They could even heal each other! I wish I could do that someday.” These days, werewolf romance books are everywhere, painting breathtaking tales of unearthly love. But in reality, not everyone finds their true mate. Many marriages are out of convenience, or just happen to be with the wrong person.

She ended the call, and I shoved my phone into my purse, my lips tilting into a grin. I’d met Dom five years ago at a tech convention. My company was meant to display our latest inventions that day, but my car had broken down on the way. He saw me struggling and helped me. From then on, we kept in close touch. Soon we were dating, and not long after, we were married. It had been three years already, yet the memory still made my heart race. Shoving my excitement down, I walked to the gates and pressed the doorbell. Once. Twice. Four times—before a guard finally walked out, a frown etched into his face. He didn’t seem familiar. Had Dom changed the guards or something?

Marrying Leo wasn't really a happy thing for me, since I didn't know him, but then he turned out to be a good, reliable person after the marriage. Funny thing was, he didn't let out a flaw even though deep within him, he wasn't happy either. My thoughts were, he knows we both felt the same, and there was no going back from it, so he just wants to really make things work between us since we're already in it. Probably why I developed feelings for him. Feelings that I still can't comprehend. The funny part is, he never wanted to have sex with me throughout the month of our marriage. It was weird since he was a guy. A guy who owns a famous clubhouse where he was. But anyways, we are married, so

But as Luca wrapped her in his arms, she felt a sense of comfort that she couldn't explain. "Don't go away from my sight from now on," he said as she struggled to break free. She couldn't deny the rush of adrenaline she felt when he held her close, even though she knew their marriage was just a sham. "I didn't agree to this marriage for your pleasure, remember?" she said, trying to push him away. But Luca just chuckled, unfazed by her resistance. "Yeah," he replied softly, holding her tightly. Elena couldn't help but feel conflicted about the situation. Was God punishing the Romanos, or was she just using Luca's weakness against him?

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.”
