My mouth dropped open at the fact that he wouldn’t introduce me as his wife. The doctor walked into the room, interrupting the tense moment. “Dr. Wood, lovely to see you here. Your husband was just updating me on how well you’ve tended to Marina over the years,” Dr. Orth placed a hand on my shoulder, “You have expedited her healing process. I’m pleased to let you know that after a few minor tests, your friend here will be headed home.” Marina cleared her throat, staring at me with the same intensity that James had, “Did you say husband?” Her eyes moved between James and me.

Grey kept pretending. "Well, if you can't remember it then, so be it. Nevertheless, I'm gonna tell you now that our relationships were never in good terms. Do you know that these...are all just a force marriage? I have been in love with your cousin, Warren, and not to you. So, why don't we proceed on filing the divorce papers because even though you have an illness, that doesn't change the fact that we're not together anymore. There was never a love between us," she admitted. "What?" Grey reacted in awe after hearing everything from his wife.

Not wanting to broach the subject, Ferhat tries to hide this story from Rabia, even though she has already heard about the blessed contract once. “Yesterday honey, I didn't even leave the house. I was feeling bad”. "What did you have"? "A horrible headache." “Must be a migraine. From time to time I stay like this”. "You know what? I'll tell you right away." “What are you going to tell me at once Ferhat”? “Sooner or later you would have to know” “What would I have to know”? Rabia becomes apprehensive. “My headache has a name.

Annabelle put down the kettle and complained, "Don't you have a personal doctor? Why do you always make me take care of you?" Kendrick thought for a moment and said, "Didn't we agree before that I promised to marry you and you would cure me?" How did it become agreeing to marry her? It was clearly only necessary to get engaged, but Kendrick insisted on getting married. And once they were married, he refused to divorce, even though he had already been cured of his illness. He still wouldn't let her go. But deliberately saying this now, isn't it just being unreasonable? "You might as well say that I was your lifelong caregiver," Annabelle said irritably.

“ That's a fucking lie! Stop lying to me!” Tania shrugged, taking some steps towards me. “ Believe what you wish,” her lips curled up further. “ But I'll make this very clear, you have nothing now…absolutely nothing.” “ W-What do you mean?” She stepped back, circling around me as she crossed her arms. “ Father's will stated that after three years of marriage, all his property would be transferred to your husband and— correct me if I'm wrong—today is your third wedding anniversary, isn't it dear sister?”

I said stepping out of the room. I slammed the door harder than necessary, I was so blinded with fury I punched the hallway wall, pain shot through my knuckles immediately but the pain wasn’t my problem. This marriage wasn’t suppose to be complicated, If I had known I was marrying a wicked witch, I would have burned the marriage contract at the altar. No woman in the history of the Carmene line has ever asked their husbands for shares, all they wanted were shoes, trips, and charity galas and to protect their husbands when the need arose. And she wanted to babysit me? Because of a twenty percent gift?

“I was hurt, too.” “Well, not the way I feel. If you can cheat on someone—” “Damn you!” She pushed me on my chest, causing me to wrap my arms around her. “I am not cheating on Keene! I married him because that was the only way I could help him.” “But you are still married, Westley. That’s the truth. Marriage is not just a piece of paper. It’s sacred. And you made a bow, remember? To have and to hold, for this day forward, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health—’“

For months I stared at the mucky pamphlets he had corrected trying to spot the thing they had that I didn’t before giving up on the matter and falling into depression. His anger on our honeymoon was volcanic. The realisation he could not take my virginity. His body would not obey his command. He moved me to various positions around the bed, lifting my nightgown, laying down, then sat on a chair but nothing. Thankfully his solution after this mortification was to pretend I did not exist.

Lizzy reluctantly said her vows and in less than thirty minutes, they both signed the documents and became a married couple. Rowland was so happy that he began to take pictures of them much to Lizzy's chagrin. After a while, he asked the doctor to discharge Lizzy. The latter was surprised and asked, "why am I getting discharged when I've not gotten better? The reason I agreed to this marriage in the first place was to ensure that I got all the needed treatment." Rowland smiled and held her hand, "listen, honey, you are married now so you need to leave the planning and worrying to your husband.
