Marry A Stranger Novels & Stories

“Fuck… someone, anyone…” Then I remembered: I had the internet. Desperate, shaking hands fumbled for the laptop across from the bed. My fingers hovered over the trackpad, and when the screen lit up, my blood ran cold. A video was trending with millions of views and comments pouring in like acid. I was kissing a stranger.

Someone who just called to tell me he's in love with my best friend instead." Her eyes met his again, and he saw steel beneath the hurt. "So yes, I'm willing to marry a stranger.

Then, she reached over and flicked my forehead. “OW!” “You’re insane!” she exclaimed. “You MARRIED A STRANGER!” I rubbed my forehead. “It’s just… a practical arrangement. I needed to move out, and Christopher needed a wife. It’s not like I expect a real marriage.” Claire groaned. “You could’ve married my cousin! At least he’s nice!” I laughed. “Your cousin already has a girlfriend.”

“I know something is off. That’s not Laurel upstairs. Her mannerisms are all wrong. Her habits. Her eyes. The handwriting style on Morel's school note last week did not resemble Laurel's handwriting.

It’s more complicated than you think.” My legs trembled. He was going to tell her. He was about to expose me! “Complicated?” Lillian scoffed. “My son’s been living with a stranger! My grandson addresses a woman as ‘Mommy’ whom he just met and who remains unaware of his bedtime schedule. I couldn’t li

It hurt to hear it, but it didn’t make it any less real. “What do you mean?” I asked, struggling to keep the frustration from my voice. The stranger’s gaze softened for a moment, but just as quickly, it hardened again. “I’m offering you a way out,” he said, each word deliberate, measured. “A way out?” I echoed, my mind still reeling. “What are you talking about?” He took a slow breath, like he was choosing his words carefully. “A marriage of convenience,” he said simply.

I look at my life falling apart around me. Three hours to decide if I'm willing to marry a stranger. I pick up my phone. My finger hovers over the number. What kind of crazy person agrees to marry a stranger? What do I have to lose? Before I can talk myself out of it, I dial. A crisp, professional voice answers on the first ring.

We will pick you up now. “

"It's just a thought. If you're serious about this investor, marriage might be the way in. Think about it." "Marriage for a club membership? That's extreme, Wilson.

I had sex with a stranger. And not only that, but he didn't use protection. "What is wrong with me?" I asked myself in a murmur. I was incredibly careless last night. What if I got pregnant?
