Marriage Without Love Novels & Stories

Being the only children of our parents, I’m sure Keith desired to have lots of people around him. “Be a good boy at your new school and I’ll make it happen.” “When will the two of you get married?” I froze. We hadn’t talked about our engagement since the fall out. Was our contract now invalid since there was no need to keep up the charade anymore? “I don’t know if we’re ever going to get married, Keith.” “Why? I like him!” The pout on his face was so cute I couldn’t resist ruffling his hair. “And he’s always looking at you.”

“My father’s interest is just a passing phase,” Caleb said calmly. “Once he realizes there’s no outcome, he’ll naturally let it go. I’ve been in love with someone who didn’t love me back—it was exhausting. So why would I willingly enter a marriage with someone I don’t even have feelings for?” Caleb didn’t want a marriage without love, and he certainly didn’t want the worst-case scenario—a child born into such a situation. Even though Vera had suggested signing an agreement where the child would stay with him, Caleb couldn’t bring himself to agree.

Together, we would face whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing that our love had already conquered the greatest obstacles of all. For our love was a force that defied the odds, transcended the boundaries of wealth and status, and proved that true love could flourish even in the most unexpected of circumstances.

My face contorted into a frown at that. "Hello?" "Alexander," "How are you Tasha?" I asked her. "Very well. Congratulations on your engagement." Of course that was why she called. She had heard just like everyone else. "Thank you." "You two have quite an interesting love story. Strangers forced to get married, fell in love, divorced co-parents and now an engaged couple. Amazing don't you think?" "That's what happens when someone's your soul mate." I said, unable to fight the smile that crept up my face.

“Yes, it would seem so. I believe there is only one reason why he would choose me, even after all these years.” I looked at him expectantly, urging him to continue. “He knew my feelings on marriage. You see, when we were young we used to go to all of the balls during society season. I’m not surprised your Father didn’t continue to attend them after he married your Mother, he hated the retched things. One Spring we ran into Mary, Lady Leven. She was stunning, the most beautiful creature that I had ever seen. The problem was she was below my status and my Father did not want us to marry. I fought his decision of course, so did your Father. It took 3 years or me refusing matches, refusing balls

Then one day, while scrolling mindlessly through social media, something caught her eye—a high-profile influencer getting married, but not to the man everyone expected. The caption read: "Sometimes, love isn't the answer. Sometimes, the right partner is." A thought struck her. A ridiculous, absurd thought. She opened a new browser tab and started researching. What If Marriage Was Just a Business? Fedora had spent years closing business deals, negotiating contracts, and handling clients who needed results, not emotions.

Gabriela exclaimed, surprised by Simon’s statement. “I know that was the plan but we cannot wait any longer, the more we delay, the more the media will keep harassing us” Simon was right, reporters were on their neck every single day and the only solution was to seal the deal and get married. Gabriela was fidgeting, more for the fact that she was about to get married to someone she didn't love and was ready to sacrifice herself for her family's safety and wellbeing. It was evident that she was scared and unsure of what could happen next but her dad’s words kept resounding on her head:

She remembers little stuff on what her husband likes just to avoid any conflict. Some ended their marriage because of too much love. Their partners loved another woman and that made her cousins crazy knowing their husbands infidelity. Even though they knew that men were allowed to have 1 or 2 lovers.

For she settled to put her interest in books.

"Maybe so ... I'm just saying from my own experience ... marriage is one hell of a complicated relationship, she might be in love with you but that doesn't mean she doesn't love him ... your chance of being with her is close to zero unless you'd be willing to be her side boy for a very very long time." "You were with a married man?" She nodded, "The reason why I don't believe in love anymore ... not really ... marriage is not always about love, it's convenience, and how far you can tolerate the bullshit for convenience's sake," she chuckled, "It's amazing how much bullshit a person can tolerate to stay that long in a marriage ... and we ... the outsider ... don't stand a chance when compared
