Story Of A Marriage の小説・ストーリー

Chloe, once proud and arrogant, nearly attempted suicide in the wake of her family's downfall. Jacob, ever ridiculous, tried to capitalize on women, then absurdly turned to men—only to be caught by someone's wife. He was beaten bloody, nearly stripped, and paraded through the streets in humiliation. And me? A year later, on Valentine's Day, I finally married Carmen. We smiled foolishly at the camera as we got our marriage license, our hands clasped tightly together. Our two companies grew even closer thanks to our union. Within six months of marriage, both went public.

"They're trying to show us that they are taking this whole marriage seriously. Across from the two girls, Heinz Landon from the Landon Group was talking to his wife. “I told Spencer to ask Anna out ages ago," he angrily told his wife. "Now, it's all too late." "Hush, my dear," his wife tried to calm him down. "People can hear you." "Like I care," he continued. "Anna's shares would have been a great addition to our assets." Mrs. Landon awkwardly smiled at people while leading her husband away.

I read aloud, running my eyes over the main headline of the story. Amid our photos, not only of the few weddings there are of our wedding, but also of distant photos taken of us on the island, is detailed absolutely everything. The magazine comments on how my marriage was based on a contract, how it was something devised by my grandfather and Dominik's grandfather, how we both have to fulfill certain requirements in order not to break the contract, and how we both had a complicated start. "...But as if it were a love story, on their obligatory honeymoon trip, they both found love..."

“You know, the story we’re supposed to tell if someone asks. We can’t exactly say we didn’t kiss until the wedding. Candy said we need a cute backstory.” His brow furrows as he contemplates this. “Right… So, what are we saying? How Was the story of our marriage again?” “You need to remember,” I tell him, trying to remember everything. “We is supposed to say we noticed each other in the office, but I was too shy to approach you, and you didn’t want to be that boss, you know? Then, when I came with you to Denmark and supported you in your grief, it was love at first sight.”

He kissed her on the head and sleep. From that day they start living as husband and wife. In these two years, Nandini falls madly in love with him and she is happy with Manik but deep down she knows Manik does not love him and only fulfills his responsibility as her husband, she has believed that one day he will fall for her and love her as she does.

They would navigate those stormy waters together, running towards the horizon, hand in hand. Surrounded by the ambiance of celebration and love, Hailey laughed aloud, swelling with a hope she hadn’t dared to entertain before. This was the beginning of their story—the realization that love didn’t always follow a conventional path, but will it still manage to weave out a loving relationship and marriage that they both deserve?

His deep, mysterious eyes flickered with an emotion I couldn't quite place. He stood there, speechless for what felt like forever. I stared at his face, so close to mine, and found myself lost in thought. He was undeniably handsome—he had strong features but not harsh, with an aura of quiet intensity. Yet, even facing such a breathtaking man, I felt nothing. "Noah, our marriage was always about business. There's no need to overthink it. "I've known about you and Lillian for a while now. You know what you should and shouldn't do. Grandpa cares a lot about the Brookes' reputation."

I could hear his controlled breathing and feel the weight of his stare pressing against me. "Listen, Nelly," he said, at last, his voice even but firm. "This marriage will be purely contractual. No strings attached. In public, we’ll pretend to be a loving couple. In private, we go our separate ways." His eyes burned into mine, leaving no room for misunderstanding. "Especially for my parents—we just need to convince them we’re in love so they’ll stop meddling." He exhaled slowly before continuing. "If you agree, I’ll take care of your grandmother’s medical bills. It’s just for a year, and then we both walk away. No complications, no expectations."
