Predatory Marriage Chapter 22 Novels & Stories

"Your inner beast is still howling for Chika Whitmore, is it not? Even after the Afolayan Dominion stamped their marriage mark onto his flesh, your station refuses to terminate the signal!" I keep my lips pressed into a rigid line, dropping a freezing stare onto her shaking frame. Deep inside my chest, my wolf lets out a silent, bleeding roar because her accusation strikes the absolute truth. The exact microsecond my terminal intercepted the news of his marriage to Lucien, my entire system suffered a catastrophic shock. For days, my body has been moving through the sector like a hollow shell, carrying zero vital energy. It was not until my trackers spotted Chika returning to the Afolayan for

“No, this is the normal desire of a man. Besides, you make me control my lust. It’s normally quite active, you know, and I can’t promise I won’t be a wolf with you after we get married.” “You go away. Are you done eating or not?” Sarah said. She couldn’t bear it anymore. She pushed him away with a red face due to shyness. Charles didn’t insist, but let her go. He laughed and came around to the other side of the table to finish the meal. They were sweet, chatting while eating and shaping their future lives together. They talked about the future decoration of their house, the places they wanted to go for a vacation after the wedding and things they wanted to do in the future – and even the tim

"But I'm glad I came because I met him. I'll never forget today; he stood on the second floor, looking at me. He's so handsome, he shouted my name and said he wanted to marry me." She drew a peach heart at the end of this sentence. Ronan's eyes slowly turned red. He couldn't remember when he first met Lyra. Even on the day they registered for marriage, he just hastily signed the papers and left. He didn't even know what she looked like, yet she meticulously recorded all of these in the diary. "I married him, the person I liked at first sight, just like a dream. I'm so happy." "He didn't come back last night, and I saw the news on TV that he went to a hotel with a woman. I'm so sad. Why would

I felt like I couldn't breathe as the realization that I was now bound to this marriage, to this pack, whether I liked it or not, dawned on me. I glanced around, my eyes sweeping the faces of the people from the orphanage who had come to witness the union. Their applause echoed through the room as they plastered fake smiles on their faces like they were happy for me like they hadn't just sold me to a man who wanted to kill me. I could practically feel the cold killing intent coming from the man I am to call husband. His hands snaked around my waist as he pulled me closer to him. "Don't you dare think of running away, Mara? Cause I will fucking hunt you down to the ends of this earth."

I reached for my phone, unlocked it, and saw the address Hunter had sent. "Come here if you want your diamond necklace back." I forced myself to complete the discharge procedures and took a taxi to the said address. I arrived at a park by the sea. From a distance, I saw what seemed to be a couple getting married. Shortly after, I spotted Hunter's friends among the wedding guests. They had the look of shock and panic at being found out on their faces upon seeing my presence. Meanwhile, Sarah was locking her arm in Hunter's and receiving blessings from the guests.

Maybe it was some strange mixture of relief, anger, bewilderment, maybe empathy for her. I had dreaded the marriage, and yet now being taken away-the sudden realization was sort of off-the-wall. “Why should you tell me this?” I asked, lowering my voice. "So that you know where I stand," she said, voice unwavering. "I am not going to pretend to buy into this nonsense. I highly recommend you do the same." She rose, scooping up her books. “Now, excuse me while I attend to some much-needed studying.” With that, she exited leaving me there thinking in circles. Forced marriage, broken engagement, Karen's reappearance - such a mess my life had become and I had no idea how to fix it.

Now that she knew the marriage was fake, she saw no need to mention it. “You knew about it?” she asked in shock. Dravyn nodded, his eyes lowering to the floor. Jane exhaled slowly, it felt strange. How did he know about her marriage? Still, she answered. “He was part of the betrayal,” she said bitterly. “The major person who forged my signature.” Her lips trembled. “And worse, our marriage was fake. He was actually married to my sister, Lila. She is pregnant with his child.” Jane broke down again, harder than before.

He noticed that I was hurting, so he loosened his grip on my arm and calmed himself. "Next time, don't ever dare touch my things without my permission, and one more thing, if you think that I'll sleep with you tonight, that would never be happening, maybe in your dreams? You sly woman! If you think that I didn't know your objectives, well, you're wrong! I know everything about you that you're only after to the wealth of my grandpa! Then to successfully attain it, you agreed to marry me but don't you think that you might destroy the relationship of others of what you did? You are selfish!" he said furiously.

"He came over to me and said he had an offer. I was not interested but I was curious and bored. Also angry." "Why were you angry?" "My father had just told me to get a woman to marry within a months time." I nod. "We went over to the tables and played. We went over and over." "He lost." I stated knowing that part too well. "Yes. He lost. He did not have the money so he was left with only one option…" "Me." He kissed my forehead. "Yes,you." "That's it?" "Pretty much all of it. You know the rest,you getting picked up,the marriage,you running away,me getting you,you falling in love,me having been entrapped by you first,the…"
