The Marriage Effect Novels & Stories

Someone who understands roles, hers and mine. And as a man, I’ll give her protection, a last name that opens every locked door, and a life most people can only dream of. That’s how it works here. Marriage isn’t love. It’s currency. People in my circle would laugh if anyone mentioned marrying for love. The higher you climb in society, the more obvious it becomes that power beats feelings. Luxury beats emotion every single time.

"Celia, have you gone mad from love? Shane found the investment for you, not me. What right do you have to question me?" "Shane said he'd already made arrangements with Melissa. It was your meeting with Melissa that caused the Gordon family to suddenly withdraw their investment. Zane, I know you still have feelings for me, but I'm married to Shane now.

Oh don’t feel bad but I already made these marriage plans with her so you might find someone else now” said Matthew in an almost apologetic tone.

He's now Emily and James's son. Apparently, they grew a liking toward him. "You see my mom and dad got married by contract." Aria advertised with a smile on her face. Charlotte nodded. "Yep. I've definitely heard that before." Aria chuckled. "I know, but now I'm happy that their marriage is real. At first, the contract thing confused me, you know? Especially after learning that contracts expire. I can't believe I get to watch." She beamed, then looked at her parents' happy faces.

But I found out he didn't feel the same about me on our wedding day. Okay, to be perfectly honest with you and me. I knew he wasn't head over heels in love with me. But ladies, you know what I thought. I thought he would eventually fall in love with me because I'm sweet and love this man so much.

THE WORD marriage was a big word for me. If ever you’ll enter into the sacrament of marriage, you must be ready for the lifetime commitment because marriage wasn’t just a stage of life where you wanted to marry someone at first then if you get tired, you’ll leave him or her.

Being married to someone was the starting point where you will be building a family with your partner.
