The Runaway Wife Novels & Stories

"There was a plague of sorts, making its way through my village, and all the healthy people were fleeing. It was total chaos ... there was looting, rape and lots of unspeakable violence. I was gathering some food items to flee with, it was just my son and I. My wife, Mary had died in childbirth with our second, about twelve years prior and despite many offers I did not take another wife. I didn’t even actually fully love my wife, it was an arranged marriage as most were at the time. But she was a good woman, and a good mother. I didn’t want to … replace her I supposed.

“Well, I don’t recall. But that’s going to be a difficult promise to keep because I don’t know how else to express my love.” “Caring for me? Being nice?” “That’s not enough. I am going to spoil you at every given opportunity.” “You are so impossible, Shawn. I’m literally the prodigal wife here, but I am the most pampered in this household right now.” I chuckled, “prodigal what?” My wife shrugged. “I ran away; you all found me. And instead of being mad at me, I think I’m loved even more.” “It’s so beautiful to see, honestly. But I wasn’t expecting anything more tonight!”

He said, "Back when you needed her the most, she grabbed the money and ran away. But now, when you hear that she might be coming back, how can you be so happy about it? Did you forget that the money she took was the funds needed to save your life?" "B-but …" David's mouth fell open, and he couldn't say a word. He was so focused on getting money from Amelia that he forgot about that. Then, he recalled what Christopher said just now. "Did you just say that she got married after she ran away?" "Yes. She got married to a young hooligan, and she spent all the money she'd taken on that man. Now that she's penniless, the man abused her. "She couldn't stand it anymore, but she didn't have any money

"Didn't you say you never saw her? Whose stuff is this?" "I-I…" Anthony walked out of the room with an intimidating aura. Ivan let go of the woman. Anthony looked at the woman with his sharp obsidian eyes, saying, "She's my wife, and she ran away from home without telling me after our fight." Even though Anthony's voice was low and calm, the woman still felt chills in her heart. Then, she answered, "Um…s-she said she came to travel, so I took her in, and she gave me money…I don't want the money anymore. You can take it..."

"Gabriella, I gave you 33 chances over the past three years. If you had ever once tried to turn things around, we wouldn't have come to this. If you truly care about me, then just let me go my own way." A shiver ran through Gabriella. She knew very well that the reason she never valued those past chances was that she had always believed she had endless opportunities. In her mind, whenever she grew tired of the affair and wanted to return to the family, all she needed was a wedding. Then I would still live with her in harmony, staying by her side for life. If that were truly the case, would I still be her husband? I would become nothing more than a puppet under her control or a permanent foll

When she checked, it was an unknown number, but from the content, she already knew who it was. "Well well, So your daughter ran from me to Austin Richard. Wow, nice choice.. the bastd was even claiming to be her husband at the hospital.. anyways, I've given you and your ass hole of a husband enough time, get back my wife to me, else! I'll suck the fcking life out of your family. Between, the fact that she went with Austin Richard even makes me more keen to have her. I was trained to not loose what's mine to anybody, even when they are the richest in the country." She shook, gulping down a saliva.

"I lost a bet from the Casino, and if I couldn't pay the exact amount that we've agreed with, then all our money, as well as all our properties will be taken away from us." Her eyes widened. "But, we learned that the man was in search for potential wife. And upon seeing the opportunity, I thought it wouldn't be bad for you to be his wife. As your mother and I said, we care for your future. You also don't have to worry about this person, because he is a young man, dear. No history of marriage at all." There's a long pause of silence after that. Feliza didn't know what to say or how to react. The unsettling emotions in her chest overwhelmed her.

She didn't look back — not because she wasn't tempted, but because she had learned something about herself in eighteen months of marriage to Alexander Sinclair. If she looked back she would find a reason to stay. And she had run out of reasons to stay that were actually about her. The elevator doors closed. Lobby. Then the street. Then the cold New York air hit her face like a question she had finally decided to answer. Her phone was already in her hand. Evelyn picked up on the second ring. "I need to leave," Helen said. No preamble. No explanation. "Tonight." A beat of silence. Then Evelyn — steady, fierce, already moving:

CHRISTY: Runaway bride. Billionaire jilted groom. Yes. I was Everette Watson's runaway bride. A billionaire and owned a multi-billion company where my father was also an investor. Our marriage was about a potential business marriage, but since I was a romantic fool who believed in love, I did not accept the marriage and ran away even if I risked my parent's wrath. My parents disowned me, but did not care about it thinking this was my life and I was the only one who could decide for me.

My dad gave me a thumbs up and smiled. "She left immediately after the wedding. You see, she thought she was auditioning. When I told her we had really gotten married, I guess she freaked out and ran off." She took in a deep breath, "You let her go? What the hell were you thinking, Alexander? She's your fucking wife, idiota, and you let her go." She stood up and poured a glass of whiskey for herself. "Richard, are you hearing this? Your son let his wife go. How are we going to find her? Oh no, what the hell is wrong with the both of you? There's the other one who fucks around with anything that has a skirt on, and the other just lets his wife go after getting married. Why do you want to kill
