Novel & Cerita Perfect Revenge Marriage

He pauses for a second and then drags his chair near me so that my knees are between his thighs with his legs flanking mine. That’s dangerously close, even for him. But he doesn’t seem to realize that as he sets his elbows on my thighs, his face only an inch away from mine. “There’s this thing about revenge, not the lousy type you’re trying to get for yourself,” he says. “It’s like when you don’t want to stain your hands with blood, but you want to see someone gone for good. Dead, I mean. It’s the same for me. Knowing how much your survival depends on this marriage, I don’t want to have a hand in whatever happens to you later. You run on your own will.”

Suzy simply nodded. Then she forced a small smile, even though her heart felt like it was breaking into pieces. As the lawyer walked out of the room, silence slowly filled the space. Her name was now written beside his. Suzy Moreno. The name she once dreamed of, she has now achieved but she is not happy. The man she had just married wasn't even there to witness it. Tears blurred her vision once again. “This marriage…” she whispered softly to herself. “—was never meant to begin with love.”

I stayed silent for a second. “I’m not lying, Dadi.” She leaned forward slightly. “You married her for revenge, didn’t you? She looked pale… not like a bride. Something is wrong.” She always sees too much. I forced a calm expression. “Dadi, we got married a month ago. Why would she look like a new bride?” But she wasn’t distracted. “Tell me the truth. You married her for revenge, didn’t you?” I clenched my jaw. “No.” A lie. Then she said something I wasn’t prepared for.

"Don't even think about it." "The harder you try to get away from me, the tighter I'll hold on." Heat shot up my chest, hot enough that I almost screamed at him. And right underneath it came the bone-deep helplessness. This marriage was quicksand. I clawed and clawed to get out, and Lucas held on just to drag me back down. As long as he refused, I was never getting out. Rage nearly burned through me. I gripped Ethan's hand and tried to find something to hold onto, but my fingers were already going cold. I almost thought, let's both burn. Just burn it all down together.

He was looking for a way to crack the code open. Everything went back to normal. But now, I have to get me revenge on an old lover. I want to make sure she pays for every single thing. Now is the perfect time. Of course, Felix is getting married soon to a cute looking girl. It's an open marriage by his mother for business reasons. The girl knows he's bisexual and has a boyfriend, and she does mind at all as long as they are married. Austin doesn't mind either. I'm am all about the revenge. I headed downstairs. I'm currently staying at the Ajello's for just this week. My bride will be coming home any minute from now.

I walked way feeling happy. Olivia rushed into that marriage with Marcus, and she was starting to see it now. That Marcus she married was not the boy she knew back in high school; this was a businessman with skeletons in his closet just like the rest of us. Fortunately, he can’t hide who he really is forever.

I could feel the heat radiating off him, the weight of his breath, the tension thick in the air like a storm waiting to break. I held my breath, trying to suppress the storm churning in my chest, and then let out a short laugh—not out of humor, but anger. Disgust. This man truly thought he was untouchable. “My life isn’t yours to dictate. Especially not my marriage. That’s sacred to me. Not something you get to turn into your personal game.” His eyes narrowed. His jaw clenched. But I didn’t care anymore. “Marriage is sacred to me too. And even if you didn’t create this scandal, I’d still want you to clear my name—because you’re the only woman I want to stand beside me as my wife.”

"Once we're done, it ends." The words hung in the air, and I struggled to comprehend the magnitude of what he was saying. "So, this marriage is just a formality? A transaction?" He nodded solemnly. "Yes, in a way. Once my mission for revenge is accomplished, once the alliance is secured, our contract will end." A mix of relief and confusion washed over me. "Revenge? What do you mean?" He met my gaze, his eyes revealing a depth of pain. "I was wronged, and I've been seeking justice. My marriage with you provides an opportunity to achieve that. Our marriage is a means to an end."

She was her daughter too and not a bloody weapon to stay in this sham of a marriage and some damn control over me. "I'm done playing your fucking puppet. Sign the papers and get the hell out of my face!" Those words brought back the feeling of déjà vu. The night I said them to Caroline-- I still hadn’t forgiven myself for it. Unlike Caroline who cried and tried to change my mind, Louise laughed with all her entitlement oozing out of her and a hard glare in her eyes. "Didn't you fucking hear? You can't get rid of me. We're married. Happily married-"

I screamed it through tears I couldn't hold back anymore. "Because the clause said you had to be the one to leave. But you never would. No matter what I did to you, you stayed. No pride. No self respect. That's exactly why I could never love you. You're weak, Aysha. Pathetic. You were never built for a man like me." He glanced at Mira and smiled. "Unlike my baby girl here. She's a trophy. She's perfect." He kissed her again, lifted her off the floor, and carried her up the stairs like I wasn't even standing there. Like twelve years of marriage had just evaporated into nothing.
