Predatory Marriage Novels & Stories

I felt tired; my temples began to throb again. "I slept with Howard." The wine glass in his hand shattered on the floor. His eyes turned crimson, disbelief etched across his face. "Teagan! How could you…" I calmly closed my laptop and smiled at him. "What? Are you upset?" I genuinely hoped we could just have a marriage of convenience, where we could both enjoy the benefits this arrangement brought. He could sleep with a different woman every night, and I wouldn't care. Meanwhile, I would leverage the Brookes' connections to gain more resources for myself.

"Forget about it." "Can you not act like I'm a stranger to you?" "I'm not treating you a stranger." "You did. I'm sure if I'm not sick, you won't even step into my room. You are avoiding me." "Jayson, I already told you before this marriage. We won't act like one. We are only married in the paper, so Grandpa's hard work won't be wasted." "I didn't marry you because of money Mara. I could earn it if I wanted to. Even if I lose everything Grandpa has, I could build my own company. I marry you because I want to." She returns the plate to the tray and looks at me.

It all started with a contract faked by the antagonist and used it to deceive both protagonists. The female protagonist accepted due to the respect she had for her dad and the antagonist who was her godfather, while the male protagonist accepted out of duress. He was constrained by threats. At a time the male protagonist did as he was told that almost cost the female protagonist her life, but then, thanks to conscience he couldn't pull through with it. And also, more importantly, thanks to the fact that she got pregnant. He decided to make their marriage work while trying his best to render the plans of the antagonist, his father null, and void.

“I didn’t know that she was his prisoner until he announced their marriage plans. He told me that she’d escaped right after we reached the village. Since she possesses such spunk and impressive survival skills, I saw no reason not to believe him.” “He held her captive for months. You know nothing, then?” he asked with a hint of desperation. “Nothing that would be of much use. I watched her after she married him. It was obvious that she was miserable,” she sighed. “We don’t force marriage upon people. With the procreation program in place, permission to couple with a variety of sex partners is acceptable and common place. They stay together for the full monthly cycle and the female doesn

What did he want this time? He glared at her for a minute, his mind working overtime. “I want a contract marriage with you, Brynne. Not a soul would know about it. To the world, we would be a normal, happily married couple. The day I achieve my objective, we’ll get divorced. I shall clear your debts and free you. Oh, and you won’t have any rights in my assets. We’ll do a pre-nuptial agreement. Do you agree with this deal?” He waited impatiently for her to agree. It was too lucrative for her to decline. She would get more than she ever dreamed of.

Third POV “We can live here again if you become my wife and bear a child for me. I need to become a husband and a father within three months to take back this failing pack.” He sniffed in. “Maybe I'm too quick but this isn't what I intended for you.” “Let's make it a contract marriage. I don't want to mingle in your future, I'm not sure if dad would accept a long term marriage between us and our marriage can only be blessed should your parents accept it. A contract marriage wouldn't require that either. I can get you pregnant.”

" Oh, so it is all about what I told my friends... So what would have I said about you?... That she is a girl I was forced to marry. That though, I don't even know her, but I have to spend the rest of my life with her. Oh, come on... what would my friends say about me. Who in this century gets betrothed for god sake??

I am also in the same situation. I didn't know you as well. But now we are married and I don't have a problem with that. But it seems like a very big issue with you and you avoid me like

He used a marriage certificate as a weapon. Now, Catherine is asking me to use a new marriage certificate as a shield. "The prenuptial agreement protects both parties," Catherine states, sliding a silver pen across the table. "It secures the Moretti assets against any future dissolution of the marriage. But you need to understand something very clearly, Isabella. A Moretti marriage isn’t a quiet suburban contract. It’s a very loud, very violent statement to every single family on the East Coast that you belong to Luca's house now. You operate under his name, and his enemies become your enemies."

She spoke plainly. "I was born rebellious and never learned to behave. As for your wonderful nephew who betrayed me, he is still wandering around San Diego. I am very vindictive." In elite families, how many people truly controlled their own marriages. Many married to expand business empires for the benefit of two families. Afterward, husbands and wives appeared harmonious on the surface while living separate lives. There were also domineering men who controlled women completely. Capable and brilliant women before marriage were slowly worn down afterward, their sharp edges dulled, imprisoned in something called marriage.

As I drove off the restaurant's gate, heading home, I quickly recalled that Paige said she'd be returning from her trip today. Although she never told me where she was going, I was able to know through my friends who work in the aviation aspect. They were the ones who told me Paige was leaving the country with the footballer she has fallen in love with. Yes, I am still with Paige; we never divorced, but not because I wanted to.
