The Wife He Never Loved Novels & Stories

The look on his face was no longer cold. It was broken and furious at the same time. “I have one wife,” he said. His voice dropped back down to something quiet and terrifying. “One wife. And she is gone.” He stared straight into my eyes like I was nothing. “Don’t ever stand in front of me and call yourself my wife again. Don’t ever think that is what you are. You are here because I had no other choice. That is all.” “Jared… I did not mean to—”

I lowered my leg and straightened my dress, trying to steady my breathing. “I mean, a stone was never soft,” I said, locking eyes with him. He scoffed, reached for a cigarette on the bedside table, and lit it. The faint glow from the tip cut through the dimness. “Was she your wife?” I asked. “No, she wasn’t. She was the mate I never got to love. I hated that I had to yearn for someone I could never have,” he said, exhaling a slow drag of smoke. “You still yearn for her?”

he asked with a raised eyebrow, "And don't call yourself my wife because I never loved you. I was never yours. So what do we call a woman who sleeps with a man that don't love her? We call her a whore" My body shook even with intense pain that was all over me . I turned to the other side, my eyes brimming with tears, my head banging with a sprouting headache. After five years that was all he had to say, after sacrificing himself, my life, and cutting connections with everyone; he was here with his ex-girlfriend.

Brandon's management team, the bodyguards, and that arrogant property manager were all instantly pinned to the ground, crying and wailing. Cassie watched the dark gun barrels aimed at her and finally broke down completely. She screamed at me hysterically, "Arthur! You can't do this to me! I'm your wife! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Make them let me go! Please! Don't you love me? You've sacrificed so much for me. You can't be this heartless!" However, the only response she got was the soldiers coldly pulling her arms behind her back and binding them tightly with restraints. Her precious designer dress was pulled out of shape. Her carefully styled hair hung in disheveled tangles, making he

I hated his deception and the pain he caused me, but seeing him collapse after taking the blade for me, all my resentment mixed with emotions I could not name. Enrico struggled to lift his hand, as if to touch my face, but it fell weakly mid-air. "Because... you're the only woman... I'll ever acknowledge... as my wife..." His breathing grew weaker. "I never gave you... a real wedding... I'm sorry..." Before he could finish, his head drooped, and he fell silent forever. I stood there, staring at his lifeless body. My heart felt empty. This man, who had deceived and hurt me for five years, had finally paid for his mistakes with his life. All the love, hate, and grievances ended with his death.

My little brother got himself a girlfriend. The moment the news reached them, the whole family lit up. My sister, Serena, clapped so hard her palms cracked. "Who is she? Which lucky girl caught our handsome Tyler's eye?" Mom's face glowed like the credit was hers. "Look who raised him. It was only a matter of time before some girl noticed." Dad couldn't stop grinning. "That's my boy. Good for you, son!" The second they caught Tyler looking embarrassed, they pressed their advantage. "So it's like that, is it? Thanksgiving's almost here. Bring her home. We want to meet her." Then it was my turn, and all they managed were a couple of flat, dutiful lines. "Adrian, you're not as good-l

“Always. You’re not alone in this. Remember that, okay? You have people who love you.” Sophia closed the door after Maya left and leaned against it for a long moment. The apartment felt quieter now. Emptier. But also a little lighter. She walked back to the couch and picked up her phone again. Adrian’s statement was still open on the screen. The screen had gone dark, so she tapped it. “I failed my wife. I failed her for five years…” She read it again. Slowly. Carefully. Word by word.

“No, Dominic. You don’t. You grew up knowing who your parents were, where you belonged, and what your family expected from you. I spent years believing my mother was dead, my father had abandoned me, and my marriage was real.” Dominic stopped walking. “You’re right. I don’t know what that feels like.” She looked at him, surprised by his admission. He continued, “But I know what it means to have your family decide your future without asking you.” Isabella studied his face. “Is that why you never married?” A faint smile appeared on his lips. “Is that your way of asking whether I’m available?” Despite everything, she almost smiled. “Don’t flatter yourself.” “Too late.”

“You took Kelly and ran to another country, Sallie. Don’t you think that’s a bit dramatic?” “Dramatic?” I echoed, a bitter laugh escaping my throat. “I left a cheating husband, Andrew. There’s nothing dramatic about getting away from you.” “I’m tired of hearing about that,” he said, his tone shifting into genuine irritation. “Most importantly, I need you to look at the bigger picture. I provided for you. I treated you and our daughter well." he paused, I could hear him pacing from the other end. "I gave you a comfortable, luxury life. I only had another woman outside the marriage. Why would you destroy our family over that? It makes no sense.”

She wore his ring. She carried his name. She shared his home. But she never had his heart. Evelyn Hart never dreamed of marrying a man who could give her everything except love. But when life left her with no other choice, she accepted a marriage proposal from Adrian Blackwood, a powerful billionaire whose heart belonged to another woman. Their marriage was built on an agreement, not affection. For Adrian, Evelyn was simply the woman who carried his surname — someone he was obligated to keep by his side, but never someone he intended to love. He made his rules clear: she must never question him, never interfere, and never expect him to be the husband she needed. Evelyn agreed, convi
