The Predatory Marriage Novels & Stories

"Papa, go ahead." Papa sighed and guided me to sit on a nearby stone bench. "As you know, Enrico won't give up searching for you easily. He's the Don of a mafia family. His methods are ruthless, his influence vast. We can protect you for now, but it's not a long-term solution. "To give you and the child a more solid foundation, and to make Enrico give up completely, I've arranged a marriage alliance for you." I stayed silent, my emotions tangled.

I drank myself sick at business dinners and fought my way through one negotiation after another until I finally helped her take the CEO’s chair. But once her career became stable, she wanted to “test” my sincerity. She said she would only agree to marry me after I passed the fifty-two premarital tests designed by Ryan. So Ryan used the word “test” as an excuse to torment me. He made me collect 9,999 handwritten blessings from strangers. He deliberately dumped ice water over my head when I walked into the office. He slipped laxatives into my water so that during a partnership meeting, I was running to the bathroom in front of everyone and humiliating myself.

What logical blueprint could possibly justify the integration of my youth into a marriage alliance with a geriatric patriarch? Compounding the absolute horror of the arrangement... stood the unyielding, dark reality of my clandestine association with Mr. Jefri. How could my internal network even preview the execution of a sanctified marriage covenant with an alternative human being, while the raw vulnerabilities of my flesh were continuously being dominated, claimed, and savored by my own university professor?

Julius places a hand on my shoulder, "Are you sure you're making the right decision marrying that girl?" I nod my head, "Of course I am, she's my Mate." "I know, but is now the right time?" Dean continues to question me, "Is this the right time to be bringing someone new into the pack?" "What does the pack have anything to do with me marrying Harper?" Now I'm confused, "They'll accept her as their Luna." Though the pack will be surprised by my sudden marriage, it won't affect the lives of the wolves under my command. As their Alpha, the pack trusts the decisions I make for them, and this is something that not only benefits me, but them as well.

"I have to say, it's complicated. I heard he was after that Denvers company and even killed the owner to get it." "What?" The boss blurted with a frown. Marco nodded. "Yeah. He even had children from different women that could make his plans come to pass. That could help him achieve ownership of the company. He made his son who never knew his existence marry Alexa Denvers, threatened him by kidnapping his mother, and tried to make him kill his wife so they can have the full rights to the company, but then she survived and got pregnant. His son didn't want anything to happen to his wife and unborn children, so he had to..."

"What ? Do you think i might poison you as well ? I just needed a distraction the moment I got discharged till I come up with a plan to avoid this marriage." "I thought you were going to marry Sinclair ?" Kerry scoffed. "I simply changed my mind, if I can't have a happy love life then I don't want to be in an engaged marriage with someone more worse than my father. My father was kind enough to provide for my mother and I even though he was a bastard." She paused looking over at her phone. "I can't promise that Sinclair would be that kind and I can't promise that I'll be Sinclair's little possession. I'm not going to end up giving in my nightmares that I wish to avoid." And here I was encoura

As he fumbled with the lighter, he spoke in a husky voice, “Most couples in this circle are like this, aren’t they? Paityn, weren’t you also seeking benefits with Jamie? Also, didn’t you sleep with him?” Lorian sneered softly, “Who is more noble than whom?” Paityn’s heart raced violently. “How is it the same, Lorian? I had no marriage contract with Jamie. It was mutual consent.” Lorian took a drag from his cigarette. He turned to look at Paityn and his voice grew even colder. “Then, where did my marriage contract with Tegan come from?” “Besides the fact that I needed a wife, wasn’t it also your greed, Paityn? Tegan wouldn’t care about the McKinney family’s fortune. She has a job and can supp

She trailed off, speculating on the particulars of where she was or might be, what might have been the reason for her disappearance, of course, her high-profile marriage to the famed business tycoon. Literally, almost all sort of some powerful billionaire loses his wife, and she's alone and out somewhere, and here is Kai, desperate enough to put a reward on his own wife's head. I admired his grit. "Well," I whispered, "looks like I finally got what I wanted.”

I scoffed, my patience wearing dangerously thin. “Right. Condos.” We both knew the truth. This marriage wasn’t about real estate; it was about power. My family’s name would shield the Morunagas from scrutiny while their influence solidified our position. A match made in hell. “Were you expecting a different answer?” he asked, a faint smirk curving his lips. “Would you prefer I say I’m madly in love with you?” My temper snapped. “Don’t flatter yourself,” I shot back.

“Roshida, despite the fact that you and Felix are having marital issues, it's still his name you bear. If that name is tarnished in front of the pack, you will feel the burn of it too. Just help him out, dear.” This woman thought she could use being married to him to blackmail me. Well, that was also my card. “Let me explain something. As you said, I'm married to him right? It would be very wrong and against pack rules for me to allow him to marry someone else since polygamy isn't a wolf thing. It's against the rules. If we are caught, I would be punished too for paying for the wedding. Also, it would tarnish our image.” I was having fun turning them down. I never got tired of telling them n
