“We’ll suggest a marriage between our families. It worked between the Outfit and the Famiglia for a while.” Cosimo hadn’t mentioned anything to me. Usually he consulted with me before he made these kinds of decisions. For Cosimo, it was a surprisingly reasonable plan. Marriages had prevented many wars over the centuries of human history—of course, they’d started just as many as well. Simone laughed but I could tell that he was displeased from the narrowing of his eyes. “For a

The A-list reporter, Chelsea, sensing our unity, pressed harder with a sly smile, “but there have been reports suggesting that this marriage is a business move to protect your family’s image considering the past you had, Mr. McCall. How do you respond to that?” Megan’s eyes gleamed with determination. Even though the question was thrown at me, I knew she wanted to answer it. “Ms. Chelsea, I see you are among the people that entertain such rumors. I guess it is okay since you are just searching for an interesting story, but I would like to help you get your facts right,” she started with an equally taunting smile. “Our marriage is a personal choice and not some business move. We don’t let rum

She's learned to read my moods without starting fights— makes her the perfect wife for a man like me. "Sergei," she says quietly, "you don't have to pretend enthusiasm you don't feel. I know this isn't exactly your idea of fun." The honesty hits like cold water. We've never talked about it directly— the family conversations, the mutual benefits, the practical arrangement dressed up as romance. But Masha's not stupid. She knows what this is. A marriage of convenience. A contract designed to give me respectability. And an heir. "The baby will be loved," I say. Truth. I might not have chosen this path, but I won't punish a kid for adult decisions.

"And in my own office once, when you were very glad to come for my help. I’m just giving you a different kind of partnership than the one you were expecting.” "This isn't a partnership. This is … this is …” I didn’t even know what to say. "Marriage." Kade said the word as if it was unimportant. As if he were talking about a business merger, not two people’s lives. "A marriage of convenience for us both. What you get is that much-needed financial support.” I mean….” He took a beat, glancing over me in a way that made my skin crawl. "What I need."

“He needs to be married for his inheritance. I need a visa to stay in the country. He suggested we get married to solve both problems.” Mrs. Mary was quiet for a long moment. A pigeon landed near her feet and she shooed it away absently. “A marriage of convenience,” she said finally. “Like in the old days.” “It’s fraud.” “Is it? You’d be legally married. You’d live together, yes?” “He has a penthouse with four bedrooms. We’d have separate rooms.” “Ah.” Mrs. Mary smiled slightly. “Separate rooms. Very proper. Very sensible.” She paused. “Very lonely.”

Wendy laughed and said, “Nah, he’s not Sugar Daddy material. You should marry him.” “I can’t believe I’m actually considering it,” Kate said in bemusement. “It’s called a marriage of convenience,” said Wendy. “You get his name and protection, your baby gets a comfortable home to grow up in, and Tony gets a young beautiful wife to keep him youthful and happy. That’s an all-around win in my books.” “Yeah, that sounds pretty simple from your point of view,” Kate said tentatively. “But I doubt if it’s going to be that straightforward.”

"It's an outdated view. It is also legally binding." "And your brother?" "Is already married." A pause. "Conveniently." Cara looked back at the paper. "So you need a fiancée." "I need a convincing one," he said. "Someone my family will believe. Someone who won't be intimidated by the environment, won't become emotionally confused about the arrangement, and won't cause problems when it ends." "And you think that's me." "You argued back in a café full of people who were waiting for you to apologize," he said. "You weren't intimidated then. I don't expect you will be now."

Randy said and rolled his eyes. "You stupid...." "Just save yourself from all this stress and let us get married " Randy interrupted her. "I don't want to get married to a man I don't love, I...." "It is just a marriage of convenience, we will stay together for a while then get divorce after a while " "A contract marriage are you saying we deceive our moms?" "It's not deceiving we are getting married and respecting their decisions while chasing our own happiness " Randy said with tug. DAMON’S MANSION ~ THAT SAME AFTERNOON ~ DINING ROOM

I bit the inside of my cheek, "Then why are you marrying her?" "A marriage of convenience" he simply said. "It's common in our world." I tilted my head to the side. "What's a marriage of convenience?" "It's a contract marriage for political links and power and to ally with the British crime firm." I furrowed my eyebrows. I have never heard anything like that before. This man already had so much power. How much power can a person possibly crave? "My parent's marriage was also a marriage of convenience. My father married the princess of the Bratva to form an alliance with the Russians. My mother was an effortlessly lovable woman, he fell in love with her even before they got married..."
