Married Yet Alone-until My Second Chance 소설 & 이야기

He had been alone for so long after my mother died, and I'd often hoped he might find happiness again. From what little he'd shared, the woman he planned to marry had been his high school sweetheart, the one he'd loved before he ever met my mother. They had reconnected at a class reunion a few years back, or so I'd heard, and something from their youth had sparked back to life. He said they fell in love all over again, and with both of them now widowed, they'd decided to spend their remaining years together.

How much did my wife once love me? The year we graduated from college, she spent two whole years trying to convince me to marry her. She proposed three times. The first time, I said no. The second time, I said no again. It wasn't until the third time that she gathered all our closest family and friends, then got down on one knee in front of everyone. She looked at me with a determination that left no room for hesitation. In the end, she won me over. On our wedding day, I gave her a small wooden box. Inside were exactly one hundred black metal tokens, neatly arranged in rows. I gave them a name. Second Chances. Whenever either of us did something that hurt our marriage or broke a promise, we

I thought that my life would change for the better, I thought I would finally find real happiness, but I had thought too soon. Her name was Mariah. She divorced her husband years ago and decided to live alone for unknown reasons. She owned a boutique in town and made good profits from it. However, she was lonely and wanted company, and I was just what she needed. She was nice to me at first and bought me awesome things; clothes, shoes, toys, all that a little girl could ever desire. I was happy and fulfilled and I thought that she was the angel of my life that I have been praying for.

I said, calmly. “Just like that?” he asked without turning to me. “Yeah. I know it's crazy, man. I was at the brink of losing everything. It was some months after Mara left me. I was desperate for a second chance mate. And I found Bella. It's crazy how I am so in love with her. And the twins, they make my life beautiful,” I said and chuckled. “Hmmm,” Denver groaned as he continued swinging the cane.

While I'm happy for her that she's making this next step in life, I'm also a little sad for myself. Thinking about her wedding has me wondering what's going to happen with my life. I mean, I'm thirty years old. I've never dated anyone seriously, and I’m so far from the idea of marriage it’s laughable. But the difference is, unlike Mia, I'm happy being alone. And unlike other friends I've had, I'm not about to settle for a man that isn't perfect for me just to not be alone. I want a partner that enhances my life experience, not one to simply fill the space beside me.

No matter how ‘true’ the love was, one couldn't imagine being seventy years old and your partner would be looking like your grandchild. Even now, I looked older than Declan. It was fair to say Karen got her dreams. Everyone got theirs, I guessed. I didn't get married and it was looking like I would never. Honestly, I could cope with that, I could live with that. What I couldn't think of living with was staying the rest of my life alone. Spending every hour of every single day without a man by side, without anyone. The thought of being eternally unloved, unappreciated and unnoticed made me want to lose my senses at times. If I hadn't lost it already

But… Still… She couldn't help but hug me as her eyes glistened with tears. "Darling, you're still so young. If you keep these babies, how will you find a partner in the future? Don't tell me you don't plan to date again or get married? Are you really planning on spending your whole life alone?" I was only 28 years old. To Cordelia, I was still so young. I smiled and said, "It's not such a bad thing to spend the rest of my life alone. Besides, I'll have my two babies with me. How will that count as living alone?"

“I don’t want our marriage to fall apart. Because I don’t want to be alone.” Ever since her parents both passed away on the exact day of her college graduation, she had felt like she was on her own in life. So when Orion came into her life, she thought that the phase of being alone was over. But apparently, it wasn’t. Slowly, she was feeling it again.

Everyone around me now catered to the new alpha’s daughter, Megan, keeping their distance from me. My aunt and uncle, who had assumed leadership roles following my parents’ tragic demise, now had their own daughter, and I had been pushed aside in their hearts. I understood they had recently reunited with Megan and wanted to make up for lost time, but I had never anticipated being treated like her servant instead of the daughter they raised. Their lack of attention and affection had left me feeling heartbroken. Thankfully, I had an incredible boyfriend and mate, Alex. He was the rock keeping me grounded through all of this chaos. Soon, we would move in together as a couple, and I hoped that w

Madeline told him. “No, Madeline. You can see everything. I'm more alone than a loner. And yes, I fucking messed up in the past. But look at fate now, bringing the two of us face to face once again after all these years. And look, I'm wealthy now. I managed to achieve my goals. We can finally be happy together.” Kane trailed off, smiling. “Don't make me laugh, Kane. Since when did you believe in fate. We never had believed in such, only in working hard with our two hands.” Madeline told him.
