Marriage Without Love Novels & Stories

“Larissa. What is going on? You don’t just wake up one morning and call off your engagement. Did he do something bad? Did he cheat on you?” I wasn’t going to wash our dirty linen in public. “We don’t love each other. There’s no use in getting married.” I took a big gulp of the milk, sighing in satisfaction. “It’ll be pretty lonely when we get old together and we can’t even sit in the same room.” “You don’t have to be in love to get married. I wasn’t in love with your father when we married but look where we are now. You can fall in love along the line.”

That's when Louis could see her eyes starting to fill with tears. “I heard that people get married because they love each other. Mommy loves you, Mr. Louis Harper. Can’t you love her too? I would be so happy if you two got married.” Louis' chest unexpectedly felt tight. Summer's small voice had shaken his heart. However, remembering Grace, who was waiting for his promise, he cleared his throat. “Summer,” Louis bent his knees, holding her shoulders, “listen to me carefully. Marriage requires love from both sides. It can’t just be one-sided. That’s why I can’t marry your mother. I don’t love her. It would just be a one-sided love.”

In spite of how hard I tried to suppress my insatiable longings, I found myself being enslaved to them time and again. Being wealthy and powerful made it even worse, as the best of ladies were always falling head over heels for me. Even though I'd had the best of women in San Francisco, there was something about Ella that made me feel incomplete if I didn't have her. She was special. That was the only word I could think of to describe her. My heart was filled with anticipation, as my phone buzzed on the pillow beside me. I reached for it, hoping that it had been Ella trying to remind me about our appointment that morning.

“Yes, but it certainly won’t be for love. I have plans, and for them to happen faster I will have to get married.” My mind couldn't comprehend it. “Can you explain?” “I want to be a CEO, Luz, and I won’t be able to do it alone, simply because I’m a woman.” I moved my head, starting to understand, except for the part about getting married without love. “I don’t even need to ask if you want to get married, I can see on your face that you dream about it.” I started laughing seeing his expression through the mirror. “Yes, I dream of getting married,” I said.

After eating and doing the dishes, Ashley was walking towards the living room when she heard the doorbell. “Coming” She yelled heading to the door. “Girl” Andrea and Shelly squealed entering inside the house. “Girl, you look pale, are you okay?” Shelly asked, looking concerned while Ashley stared from Shelly to Andrea. “You need to know something,” She said to Shelly gesturing both of them to the three-seater sofa. “Actually my and Alan's marriage is a contact one not based on love” She paused waiting for Shelly's reaction. “And I may have fallen in love with him” She finalized.

So I'm not the only one who doesn't like this setup. I know that even if they don't say what they are talking about it is really obvious that they are planning the future for us. That they reconcile us. "Same here. I never wanted this kind of set up." I answered him. Because even I don't like it. I already told myself that if I was given the opportunity to get married at the right time and opportunity. I wanted it to be for the man that I truly love. Not this kind of marriage for convenience. Where is the love there if this happens?

‘No, but I know love is not about marrying someone you don’t love, meanwhile the one you love is willing to be there for you. To find love nowadays is easy, but to find the person who reciprocates your feelings is rare…for example, you don’t love Noah but you are trying to marry him’ she said and Kimberly nodded, maybe she was being unfair to Noah. ‘You are right, I should let him go. I don’t want a marriage without love, so I will live my life with my son only’ Unise was even more frustrated, why was it so hard to convince this lady? Unise received a message from a number, she had to get to work and couldn’t talk to Kimberly.

"It's up to you. You'll talk about that matter. I just don't want us to be like you who are separated from each other." I smiled and hugged her. "You can't imitate us. As long as you truly love the woman you marry. As long as you offer all your understanding and love to her. And as long as you don't do things that are against your future wife's feelings, " I faced Travis. "Love your wife, Travis... and do not ever hurt her feelings. Because we are women, we also have a limit to our understanding of the person we love," "Aurora?" Travis was surprised at the words that escaped my lips.

“Dad sold you to that man, didn’t he?” “No.” I said firmly, cupping his face. “Nobody sold me. I made this decision myself. For me and for you.” “But” He cut in before I could finish. “Do you love him?” I blinked. “What?” “Why would you marry someone you don’t even love?” I exhaled slowly and loosened the hug, taking his hand and walking him back to the bed. We sat down together. “Let me tell you something.” I said carefully. “Not every marriage begins with love. Some begin with reasons that are harder to explain. But that doesn’t make them wrong.”
