The Unwanted Marriage Audiobook の小説・ストーリー

"Everyone, it's confirmed! I stay in the same village as the female clown! I personally witnessed her mom marrying her to an old man who had been single forever!" I just tapped on "not interested in the post" option before putting down my phone. The past was the past for a reason. It was time for me to start a brand new chapter of my life.

I still wasn't pleased with her appearance so I turned back to face the dramatic and cunning mother that God has given me. "She's human, son. She's not a wolf" I scoffed at her response and realized that my plan of cajoling her and guilt-tripping her wasn't working. "I've heard of arranged marriages, marriages out of love, and even out of pregnancies but what the fuck is this called?" I asked angrily. "How about we call it, Arranged marriage pro-Max" What! "You're not being funny, mother" "I didn't sign up for a comedy show audition as well, sweetie. Pull your acts together son, process it, accept it and move on as a married man"

None of my family members came, just as I had asked them not to. I don't know what kind of life I'll have now that I'm married to a man who doesn't have any feelings for me. What have I gotten myself into?! °°°F.G°°°

I lay there bruised and aching and painfully aware that whatever had happened between us hadn’t solved anything—it had only bound us tighter, deeper, in ways neither of us was ready to face. Adrian stared at the ceiling again, his grip loosening but not releasing. I curled inward, letting myself exist in the space he allowed. Outside, the castle grounds were waking. Inside, we were already lost. And for the first time since the vows, I understood something with terrifying clarity: This marriage would not be undone by distance. It would be unraveled slowly, by want. By silence. By the parts of ourselves we were still too afraid to name. ⸻ [Expanded Continuation]

He needs a wife to secure a powerful political–business alliance that will determine the future of his empire. It’s strictly business. Strictly contractual. Strictly no feelings. Until possession, jealousy, and forbidden attraction begin to break every clause they signed. And when the alliance is threatened, Scarlet realizes she was never just a convenient bride… She was a pawn in a dangerous game between powerful men.

And deep down, I knew something was off. Barry wanted this marriage too much. My mother looked haunted. And the Kingstons…..they didn’t need us. But they wanted me. Why? This whole getting married is so sudden and strange. I mean who still does arranged marriage in this century? A few minutes ago I was excited about finishing my second book and submitting it to the editors and publishers. And now I find myself in this mess. Why does God hate me? Why has the universe decided to punish me? I didn’t have answers to any of my questions, but

I stood there for a long moment, clutching the strap of my bag, afraid to move as if I might leave fingerprints on a life that wasn’t mine. My wife. The words Adrian had spoken earlier echoed in my mind, heavy and unreal. They didn’t feel like a promise. They felt like a label—something temporary, something borrowed. I slowly sat on the edge of the bed, smoothing my hands over the fabric of my dress. Sophia’s face flashed in my thoughts. The confidence in her posture. The pain in her eyes. I’m the woman he was supposed to marry. My chest tightened. So that was it. I wasn’t chosen. I was convenient. A solution to a problem he needed to erase.

I can hear the hurt in his voice as he quickened his step. My aunt did chose to live quite the reckless life. she had been married to Derek’s dad my father’s bestfriend and beta when she was quite young. According to what I heard, they were in love and derek’s dad was willing to do anything to make her happy, but she seemed to have gotten bored of the sedentary lifestyle that comes with being married.

He never took a single word I said seriously— not even when I told him I wanted a divorce. And he wanted me to tell everyone that I was the one who suggested an open marriage. Since that’s what he wanted, I’ll give him exactly that. But when that day finally came, he regretted it… Chapter 1 Mary's POV: The candles had already melted into sad little wax puddles by the time I realized he wasn't coming.

Isla’s breathing changes, becomes shallow. I shake my head to clear the fog of desire that was starting to fill my mind. Magnus continues to stare at her with dark eyes filled with desire. He wants her. I understand this because I want her. The woman I married is not a breeder. She is not prey. It is likely that she would die in childbirth and even more likely that the little one would either die at birth or suffer until he did die. We cannot have her. We cannot keep her. We cannot breed her.
