The Predatory Marriage 소설 & 이야기

The scandal, the treaty, the match that put a vampire and a mage in the same private room fifteen minutes into a marriage neither of us chose. If I'd been aimed at him, he'd been set out like bait for me. Two people maneuvered into the same trap from opposite ends of the world, and every real thing that had grown between us since, the trust, the wanting, the explosive orgasms, the nights I'd stopped being able to regret, had grown up inside a cage somebody else built. I did not know which frightened me more: that our whole marriage had been engineered, or that I no longer wanted out of it.

"He's not a predator, Mom. I learned from the last incident. He really isn't like that, and you'll see when he finally arrives." Dorothea frowned and muttered, "Why are you so stubborn? He asked you for money right away. That seems predatory to me. He even told you he has a wife. How could you fall for a married man, Riri? Don't you see anything wrong with this? "You said you kissed him this morning! What did you two do last night to end up in the same room? I'm telling you, Riri, there are so many predators out there who only care about you because you're pretty and rich. They would do anything to win your favor.

"What this document shows is not a husband who took advantage of financial access inside a marriage. It shows a man who identified a target and began extracting from her before he had any legal standing to do so. Before the marriage existed. Before any claim could be made." Nicole sat across the table. "It demonstrates premeditation," her attorney continued. "Which changes the entire framing of the financial fraud. This is not opportunism. This is not a marriage that went wrong and produced bad behavior. This is a calculated plan that the marriage was designed to enable." She put the document down. "Margaret's entire counter-narrative depends on framing you as a bitter wife retaliating with

As I drove off the restaurant's gate, heading home, I quickly recalled that Paige said she'd be returning from her trip today. Although she never told me where she was going, I was able to know through my friends who work in the aviation aspect. They were the ones who told me Paige was leaving the country with the footballer she has fallen in love with. Yes, I am still with Paige; we never divorced, but not because I wanted to. In honesty, I have tried everything possible to divorce her, but all was to no avail due to the type of marriage contract I signed. The marriage contract I signed was predatory. We agreed that our marriage was going to be infinite, and anyone who brings up the topic o

She spoke plainly. "I was born rebellious and never learned to behave. As for your wonderful nephew who betrayed me, he is still wandering around San Diego. I am very vindictive." In elite families, how many people truly controlled their own marriages. Many married to expand business empires for the benefit of two families. Afterward, husbands and wives appeared harmonious on the surface while living separate lives. There were also domineering men who controlled women completely. Capable and brilliant women before marriage were slowly worn down afterward, their sharp edges dulled, imprisoned in something called marriage.

I constructed a cage for my wild and furious spirit and awaited the day of my wedding. A small part of me fantasized about falling in love like the princesses in my mother’s tales, dreaming of a day when I would be free. But deep down, I always understood that a happy ending was not in my future. So, I waited and I feared. And now the moment has arrived. Tomorrow, I will marry a man who makes wolves fight as if they were mere dogs. A man who threatened to treat me like a stray. His predatory gaze sends shivers down my spine.

Prey said loudly. “What is the excess of getting married to him that after his death I don’t entitle to any inheritance. Or do you think he will leave his children and give me more than them. I need a child too. Child is a powerful weapon to hold a stay in a home. Don’t you get it?” “I understand you so well, Prey. But since it has come like this you have to accept it like that” Prey looked up at Adeline. “So I should just be and at the end I won’t achieving anything. Or what do you think that make me to get married to him?” Prey asked loudly.

Viso was horrified at his advice. Marriage! Fucking Marriage? "Hmm! I only bark after sniffing the relatable things, Compagno. I Am asking you to marry her, not impregnate her. She can't get pregnant on her own. Dog, you could be allergic to dogs can't you. And what is marriage, just a piece of paper. Sign a damn Prenup with her dammit. You can add all the things you want in that.” Viso hummed, knowing where his homie was going. He heard about these contract marriages a lot these days.

I questioned, wanting his opinion. “Can’t you live not caring about your grandma’s fortune taking away from her?” he bit back, consuming the coffee. And I smile, showing my teeth. “Fair play. We don’t have any other way than this. What an ill fate!” I commented, and he nodded in agreement. “I had four bargains for this marriage,” I began. “One, I can do what I want as long as it doesn’t ruin our families.” “Fair, so am I,” he said, revealing his drop-gorgeous smile. The pleasures in his countenance, pondering for a second. “That’s a new one, huh.”

“I also told you that you were gonna be a big trouble to your husband tormenting him with your jealousy.” “Yes,” Rachel confirmed becoming suddenly serious. “I told you that I only get possessive over things of people I really love.” “And that there’s no possibility of you getting possessive over a man since you had no intention of falling in love with anyone. Not even with the man you’ll marry,” Kyra went on. “How wrong I was!” Rachel sighed resignedly. “And now Jacob is trapped in an undesirable marriage with me.’ “Oh, come off it! It isn’t as if you trapped him to marry you.”
