Married For Convenience Novels & Stories

He half-yelled, slamming his glass down. I mentally noted to remind myself of his temper next time I considered speaking up. "Consider this a marriage of convenience. We manage to play nice for a year, your family sees you as a responsible man, then I divorce you, and you go back to your sweetheart. Simple, right?" I smiled, though my body trembled slightly with unease.

Emily asked cautiously, her voice barely above a whisper. A slow smile spread across Alexander's face. "Simple. You become my wife." The words struck her like a physical blow. His wife? The whole situation left her speechless. Marrying a stranger, a powerful, arrogant man she barely knew, to escape a financial burden? It seemed like something out of an extremely funny fairytale. "Marriage?" Emily finally managed to blurt out, her voice strained. "Are you serious?" "Perfectly," he responded , his gaze unwavering. "A marriage of convenience, of course. You'll have a place to live, financial security." He paused, then with a mischievous grin in his eyes. "And I'll get… certain benefits."

"Is that the reason why you were able to come up with a decision?" He groaned and shook his head. "You were unreachable. No matter what I do, you don't want to let me in your world. In your mind." "That was true. It's my fault. I had been dealing with something." "Something which you cannot tell your husband? This marriage started because of a contract, but I told you before that I want to make this work. I believe in the sanctity of marriage, pumpkin." "This is only a marriage of convenience, Calcifer. You are using our family so that your company would be back on its feet again. You don't care about me at all. Tell me. Do you consider me a burden?"

We can try to form an alliance,’ Mrs Conner said, and I frowned, wondering what she was going on about. ‘An alliance how? Please explain,’ I said. ‘You know we can have a contract marriage which will benefit you and us as well. I know that a man like you will not have time for love and romance so a marriage of convenience will be very appropriate,’ she explained. ‘So who are you proposing that I marry? Crystal?’ I asked raising a brow mockingly and pretending as if I didn't know who she was talking about. ‘No. I am not talking about my daughter CC,' She replied.

I-our marriage… it was never meant to be what you thought it was. My heart clenched at his words. The urge to shout, to scream at him for being so cold, for reducing their relationship to something meaningless, almost overwhelmed her. "What do you mean?" I asked, my voice shaking. "What do you mean our marriage wasn't supposed to be? Drake took a deep breath, almost as if to gear up for something he had been holding inside for a long period. "Our marriage," he started slowly, carefully, "wasn't about love. It was about convenience."

I pulled my hand away from him and rose, I walks back to forth inside his office due to the emotion I am feeling right now. “You should know that… our relationship is very complicated and few people only know the truth…” “Few? Why am I not included on the ‘few people’ who knows behind it?” he concluded in my statement. I return to my seat and started to tell the story behind our wedding and how did we ended up getting married. I saw how surprised he was hearing the truth from me. “What is your plan now?” Only few people I trusted so much even I have a lot of friends because I know some of them aren’t real to me so I choose wisely.

He became this new being that stayed out later than usual and came back with different girls, draped over his hand like they were meant to be there. They were beautiful, these girls and always had a way of making me feel inferior. And I had no way to tell anyone that my husband was cheating on me with multiple girls. Victoria would have his head in a heart beat, she would beat him and made sure I found a way to divorce him but divorcing wasnt even an option and I couldn't tell her I was in a contract marriage. Mary and I were still avoiding each other and honestly, it felt really stupid. So she loved me or she thought she loved me and so I avoided her so she can get over those feelings.

I could hear his controlled breathing and feel the weight of his stare pressing against me. "Listen, Nelly," he said, at last, his voice even but firm. "This marriage will be purely contractual. No strings attached. In public, we’ll pretend to be a loving couple. In private, we go our separate ways." His eyes burned into mine, leaving no room for misunderstanding. "Especially for my parents—we just need to convince them we’re in love so they’ll stop meddling." He exhaled slowly before continuing. "If you agree, I’ll take care of your grandmother’s medical bills. It’s just for a year, and then we both walk away. No complications, no expectations."

Wendy laughed and said, “Nah, he’s not Sugar Daddy material. You should marry him.” “I can’t believe I’m actually considering it,” Kate said in bemusement. “It’s called a marriage of convenience,” said Wendy. “You get his name and protection, your baby gets a comfortable home to grow up in, and Tony gets a young beautiful wife to keep him youthful and happy. That’s an all-around win in my books.” “Yeah, that sounds pretty simple from your point of view,” Kate said tentatively. “But I doubt if it’s going to be that straightforward.”

“What does Megan’s return have to do with anything, especially my position and all I worked for?” My father leaned back in his chair, a smug expression on his tired face. “Your marriage to Megan was no coincidence. I wanted that union to stand. I did everything within my powers to ensure that both of you end up together, but your attitude and reckless lifestyle pushed her away. Now, you either find her or…” I scoffed. “Or what, Dad?” I was already tired of my father using the same card on me over and over again. “You are willing to jeopardize everything I worked for over a marriage of convenience?”
