What Is Contract Marriage Novels & Stories

It’s the easiest way out for us.” “It’s still marriage, Zac.” Mia crossed her arms tightly. “We barely get along.

I let out a deep breath as I was grateful that he had agreed to it, so far. "Third. I don't want we've any sexual relations," I said and this time I saw his face look a little surprised. "Why? Isn't that normal?" he asked. "Of course, if this is a real marriage, I’ll do it with you all the time. But since it's just a contract marriage, I don't want my body to be touched by a man who is not my real husband," I said and I saw his face looked more surprised. I just smiled when I got that reaction. I had expected — I thought.

It was the kind of number that did not solve problems so much as it dissolved them entirely. She wrote: Why does a man with your resources need a contract marriage? Surely you could have a real one if you wanted it. Something moved behind his eyes at the word real. He typed slowly: I do not want a real one.

she said. He exhaled through his nose, a harsh, frustrated sound. “You want a way out that doesn’t end with chains? Then we give them a reason to hesitate before they stamp you as ‘recoverable.’ A reason with teeth.” “And that would be?” she asked. “Status,” he said. “Filed, witnessed, loud enough the Tribunal has to go through more than one layer of law to get to you.” “You mean marriage,” she said flatly. “Contract marriage,” he corrected. “You already set the terms.

“She is an omega.” “She is carrying an Alpha heir,” another elder replied. “That changes nothing and everything.” The room pressed in on me, not physically, but the weight of it sat heavy in my chest. I wanted to deny it, to find a way around it, but every option collapsed the moment I reached for it. Marriage was the law. Not a choice, not a suggestion. My father stepped forward. “A contract marriage will be drafted. One year. No expectations beyond legitimacy and stability. No bond enforcement. No public intimacy beyond what is required.”

A low chuckle escaped his lips before his expression darkened and his face turned serious. "Let’s discuss the important part." He paused and studied my face for a moment, making me even more nervous than I already was. "This will be a contract marriage. After one year, we’ll get divorced." It took me a few seconds to process his words. I stared at him in shock. "What?" "I need a wife to secure my position within the family business. In return, your reputation remains safe. It’s beneficial for both of us." A contract marriage? Out of every possible scenario I had imagined, this had never crossed my mind.

By page twenty-four, she looked angry. “Absolutely not.” “Maya.” “No. This is not a contract. This is a trap with letterhead.” “It’s standard for clients at this level.” “Standard for people who expect to ruin lives and pay invoices afterward.” Lena rubbed her forehead. “It’s one wedding.” “No, it’s not. You said it yourself. This is a merger wearing a veil.” That was the problem. Maya was right.

Don’t you think we should try and see how much sexual compatibility there is between us?” she argued, blinking back tears, not understanding how he could refuse her so quickly. “Marissa, this is a contract marriage. Even though we have to perform the act of sex with each other, it doesn’t mean that we’ll be anything more than civil. You don’t have to go to such extreme lengths either. Until the wedding, I’m not going to…” he trailed off at the look in her eyes.

I go over to him and hold his hand, then I touch his face, “I want you Sir, I really do but I hate the fact that you belong to someone else. You get to go back home to your wife and family while I am here longing for you. I can’t bear the thought of you being with another woman” I murmured. “I swear to you that she means nothing to me, it was just a contract marriage that was prepared between our families, she doesn’t mean anything to me” he breathes out those lies. I almost chocked on my words with how easily he let that slip out of his mouth. A contract marriage!

"Okay, I'm sorry. Never do that again. I just wanna tell you that breakfast is ready!" I left his room, and even though we were married, we didn't sleep in the same bed.
