The Marriage Lie Book 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.

I shoved at his shoulders, “Asshole, you lied to me. You hid your identity. How else do you expect me to react–” “You lied, you are carrying my child.” He countered in a low, scary tone, enough to immobilize me and bring moist to my eyes. “You based our whole marriage on a lie. And most importantly.” His grip on my throat tightened, restricting my breaths as he lifted me to my toes, considering me no less than a prey. “You are the one who wanted revenge on Edric and proposed the idea of marriage.

I stared at the bookshelf behind him, letting my rage simmer under the surface. He broke the quiet with the same poison he always carried in his mouth. “Do you even like that girl you married? As a wife?” My breath caught. For a second, I didn’t know what to say. Then I let the lie fall out first. “No.”

“Don’t make this harder, Amelia. You’ve already caused him enough pain. He doesn’t need your tears or your drama anymore.” Vivian’s hand brushed Eleanor’s arm gently, her voice soft. “Maybe she should hear it from him, Eleanor.

"I'm marrying him," The Vivian said, tearing a faint laugh from my lips. "That's impossible, I'm still his wife and whatever it is..." Eleanor threw out the divorce papers on my face, stilling me for a second.

“Grandpa, if you are doing this for my sake, you don't have to. I don't want to show off my husband or my marriage. It's pretty good that we are done with these simple steps. I have a marriage certificate, and no one will doubt us. It's not good to indulge in great pleasure when we can get satisfied by simple happiness.” Once those words came out of her mouth, the room fell silent, everyone went silent. Well! It's better, as long as there's no grand wedding. They married in a tough situation, there's no way she is ready to face the world yet. How can she tell her colleagues that she is married? She was once the golden bachelor in the whole hospital. “You two have married already, why don't y

Maybe this marriage would bring happiness to his family, let's just give this Marriage a chance. "I'm happy with this wedding, Vince is the only Man I'll love to marry. As for earlier, we had a little fight" I plaster a fake smile on my face and pretend to be genuinely happy, as the lie smoothly left my mouth before I could even process what I just said, a blush appeared on my cheeks making me go all crimson as I talk about Vince being the only man I would marry. How did that even came out of my mouth, my stomach did a back flip. She must have bought my lie because a beaming grin spread on her face.

“He lies. We do not know why. But I could tell he was lying through his teeth.” I shuffle. I know that telling the truth is important to Alessandro. He’s said as much before, and I don’t want to lie to him. Even if I hadn’t really met him when the lie started. “Well, I think there might have been some truth to it,” I say quietly. Beside me, Alessandro freezes. “What?” he says. That one word carries so much apprehension, my heart aches for him. I settle then on the truth. “Because, Alessandro, he’s right. I didn’t marry you because it was a good business deal. I married you to spy on you, so I could bring information back to Joemar and find out how you managed to kill our parents.”

The very place that had once felt like a home now loomed over her like a prison. Madison’s words stung like a slap. “Yes, Mrs. Asher, we will live in your mansion as my husband, Mr. Samuel , has signed a deal with your husband, Mr. Asher until they complete their project. We will live here; hope you don’t have any problems!” The hurt in Madison’s eyes was unmistakable, and Sophia couldn’t bear to meet her gaze.

"So tell me, what is it between you and Levi Grant?" I sigh. I finally decide that I must tell a little of the truth. Otherwise she'll never be at peace. "Fine, I'll tell you. But this has to be a secret between us," I tell her. "You know you can trust me," she presses me. I sigh. "Okay. Well, the truth is... My marriage to Levi is a bit of a lie." "I knew it!" shouts Rose, on the other end of the line. "Shut up!" I urge her. "You can't say anything about this. Remember."
