Novel & Cerita Unholy Matrimony 2020

He couldn't hide the irritation in his voice. Mark's eyes turned wide. "No kidding! Congratulations! I didn't know you and Kelly were engaged," he remarked. "We aren't," Noah covered his face with his hands. Mark looked confused. "Then...you just decided to get married on the spot?" he inquired. "I am not marrying Kelly," Noah said. "Then who?" Mark sat up and put all of his focus on Noah. Why was Noah acting all mysterious? he thought. "It's complicated...I am expected to marry Serena Wolf at the end of this month," Noah finally let it all out.

He once told me that the one thing he’ll never forgive is cheating, and if he already made up his mind that I cheated on him, begging him is pointless. “I, Hunter Hendrix, son of Orion Hendrix, reject you, Jade Althea Dimaano, daughter of Juan Dimaano as my mate and future Luna, on the basis of infidelity. May the energy of the moon uphold this rejection and mother goddess ease my pain through this betrayal.” He snarled the last words, shoving me out of the way as he stomped out of our home, and I crumbled to the floor as a crippling pain shot through my spine, rushing straight for my heart.

In the role of the bride, flowers were also used to adorn her hair. She knelt to take it up once more. What had happened last night that she couldn't seem to recall? She took a quick look at the man's features. Din Cooper, was it? He stood close to her, while a man stood behind them. He was clad in the robes of a priest. Was there a wedding going on at the club where they were? How did that happen? It had been professionally photo-shopped. She assumed. Din Cooper had to edit an image to harass her since he wanted to get on her nerves so badly.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of God, and everyone here, to join together Hollis Genovese and Ugo Chike in holy matrimony." Everything the priest said afterwards faded when Ugo squeezed my hand back. She glanced up at me, and I saw it. T​he lioness in her eyes wasn’t gone, but simply asleep. "Hollis Genovese, do you take Ugo chike to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish. Do you promise to be faithful to her until death do you part?"

A month before my fiance, Dante de Rossi, and I were supposed to get married, he insisted on having a baby with his childhood friend, Isobel de Luca. I refused to agree to it, but he kept bringing it up every single day and stubbornly tried to persuade me. It was as if he were presenting a business deal that had to be accepted. Half a month before the wedding, I received an envelope from an anonymous sender. It contained a pregnancy report from a private hospital in Manhorne.

“This isn’t exile. It’s only the end of a marriage that should never have been.” Brannick inclines his head. “Then I agree. The bond may be broken.” Relief doesn’t come. Only steel. He doesn’t realize I know more than he thinks, and that knowledge is mine to wield. “We’ll bring Rosa in after breakfast to discuss it. The rejection and the cancellation of the wedding will happen this afternoon,” Brannick announces, his tone clipped and certain. “As per tradition,” Ysa adds, “you will mate with her once more before it’s final. If she conceives, it proves the bond still holds, and rejection is not permitted.”

"We've had three teams scour it. Your grandfather learned from your father's... indiscretions." The unspoken word “bastard” hung in the air like gun smoke. Specifically, Elijah. The brother who should have inherited half of everything if Father hadn't tried to burn the truth out of existence. I flipped open the folder, my eyes scanning the terms that were worse than I'd imagined: "Legal marriage: No proxies, no offshore quickies". "Public cohabitation: Verified by board-appointed inspectors." "No annulment for five years or assets freeze. " Marcus's smirk widened. "Problem, Damien? Not even your money can buy love."

Her stare notified me that she's aware of what's happening in the house. " Rita, I wasn't expecting this from you, you messed up big time. You ditched your work for a man that has to marry a successfull lady in order to keep his wealth going. “What? I don't understand miss Janet” “You're just a common house keeper, how could you let yourself so low by allowing him sleep with you. He has had a fiancee for two years now and they are planning to get married this year. You have no absolute idea of what you've gotten yourself into”

... The wedding was set for the 28th of next month. A bit rushed, but not crazy. I hadn't seen Ezio since that video call. Harriet told me he was grinding through work to clear his schedule for the wedding and honeymoon. I wasn't sure if I bought it. I kept hearing about Desmond through friends. He and Megan posted a couple's photo online, then deleted it a week later. A friend vented, "I bet he's trying to get your attention. Guys like that are immature, thinking they can make you jealous with that."

A pregnancy out of wedlock was nothing short of a scandal. In the end, Gideon said, "My mom wants to get an abortion, but the baby's innocent." I thought he'd at least show some concern for Lily. But no, he was still playing the saint. I frowned. "So, you dragged me out here to stop your mom?" He shook his head. "The baby's so pitiful. You should raise it." Upon hearing that, I couldn't hold back anymore. I slapped him hard across the face. Was he seriously asking me to clean up Lily's mess?
