Marriage Novels

On the night of our fifth wedding anniversary, my wife brought her hundredth boy toy home. The young guy looked at me with a smirk. "Is this your husband, babe? He doesn't look like much." "Don't ruin the mood by talking about someone so boring," Chloe replied. "Come here." She couldn't wait to pull him into the bedroom. I sat on the sofa, listening to the muffled sounds of their intimacy. I tapped on my phone to check the calendar. Three more days. That was all that remained of this absurd

1 I was the only girl among three childhood friends, each from a prominent family. My family's fortunes had fallen, and my parents were planning a marriage alliance with one of them. But the school bully, Shawn, disdainfully glanced at me and refused, saying, "No way, I like the quiet type. I just see her as a brother." The sweet, puppy-like, Xavier, shrugged regretfully, "I just see her as a sister." And the academic top, Zane, coldly stated, "She's reckless and clumsy. She's not suitable t

My sister and I married two brothers on the same day. I married the town's gifted doctor, while she wed his brother, a local deputy. Three years into our marriage, we were both pregnant. Our lives took a dark turn on the way back from the clinic. My sister, Chloe, had stopped to buy her favorite peach pastries and miraculously avoided the accident. I, however, was left bleeding out in the wreckage, my dress soaked in crimson, suffering agony beyond words. I trembled, begging anyone nea

The moment my stepson got early admission to an Ivy League university, he publicly severed all ties with me. "I have my own real dad. You're just a home-wrecking third party who ruined my parents' marriage." Kicked out of his graduation party, I wandered the streets in a daze and got struck by a speeding truck. Before drawing my last breath, I heard him tell his mother: "Don't bother calling an ambulance. If he dies, we can collect a massive insurance payout." When I opened my eyes again, I

Chapter 1 At our college reunion, Garrett's first love asked him right in front of my face. "I'm pregnant. Can we finally be together now?" Garrett put some food onto my plate, smiling calmly. "I promised I'd take care of her for the rest of my life since she's deaf. I can't break my word. She can never know about your pregnancy. I couldn't bear the consequences if she found out." "As compensation, I'll get a real marriage license with you. Hers is fake anyway." He put down his phone and t

Five years into our marriage, the rising starlet Vera Chase posted on Instagram: 【In the end, it was always you!】 The photo showed her celebrating on a yacht, clinking glasses with my husband, Trenton Rhodes. The post blew up online overnight. I liked the post and left a congratulatory comment. Within minutes, texts and calls flooded in from friends and family, either offering comfort or digging for gossip. Right then, Trenton called. His voice was ice-cold as he warned me not to run my mou

Married for five years, my husband, Silas Sterling, was the industry's top actuary. He lived by the golden rule of splitting every cent. On our honeymoon bill, he was so precise that he charged me seventy-five cents for three extra tissues I used at the hotel. I once thought this was just a modern way for couples to coexist. I saw it as a sign of mutual respect and fairness. That was until he drafted a loan agreement with an 8% annual interest rate for the money meant to save my father's life

I was reborn. The first thing I did was rip that ten-million-dollar prenup into shreds. I flashed a smile at my so-called fiancé, Lucas Sterling, and his entire family. "What is money compared to our bond? I'm marrying for love," I declared. In my previous life, my best friend Seraphina Rose pulled this exact stunt. She walked into her marriage with Lucas's younger brother with nothing, and everyone praised her for being a saint. Meanwhile, I was the one huddled in a hospital with my newborn

1 I chose the only doctor amongst a sea of trust fund bros for my arranged marriage. It wasn't until after the wedding that it hit me: wasn't he just like that doctor friend in all those romance novels, the one always getting called away in the middle of the night to patch up the heroine? After witnessing this firsthand a few times, I dropped the idea of trying to develop any real feelings for him. Seriously, who knows, one day I might end up having to fight one of his billionaire buddies fo

Ethan, a renowned actor, married me out of spite. His long-time girlfriend, Olivia, had stormed off to Europe after a fight, and he'd impulsively walked down the aisle with me. Three years into our marriage, their drama continued to unfold. On-screen hugs and kisses, off-screen flirtatious interviews ― the internet was abuzz with pity for me, the "pathetic stand-in." I never reacted, always plastering on a smile and diligently managing his PR. Then, I unexpectedly got pregnant...

The day before we were supposed to sign our marriage license, I hid in my fiancé's office lounge. I was holding a pair of custom rings I'd designed myself, wanting to give him a surprise. Instead, I heard his first love, Maddie, ask a question that chilled me to the bone. "Bennett, will Cassie really agree to give me blood transfusions every week?" My fiancé's voice was cold and ruthless. "She'll agree whether she wants to or not. If her blood type didn't match yours, I would never have agr

My father gave me a choice between the two Vance brothers for our family's arranged marriage. Without hesitation, I chose Silas Vance. The room went silent. Everyone in the elite social circles of the East Coast knew I had been obsessed with Jasper Vance for years. I had even told the world I would marry no one but him. In my past life, I got exactly what I wanted and married Jasper. But right after our wedding, he crawled into bed with my foster sister, Seraphina. When the family elders foun

The girl who once swore she would marry no one but me ran away from our wedding. She chose her high school sweetheart, Merrick Hayes, leaving me standing alone at the altar. As I stood there in total humiliation, Tessa Vanderbilt stepped in. She was a high society heiress who had supposedly crushed on me for seven years. She saved the day by becoming my bride. For three years, our marriage was a dream. We were the picture of domestic bliss, or so I thought. Everything changed at the New Year'

In the fifth year of our marriage, Garrett's ex-girlfriend, Joyce Bennett, came back into his life. A single "Long time no see" from her completely shattered his composure. He swore she was nothing more than a memory, yet he abandoned me for her time and time again. On our anniversary, he did not come home at all. When I opened my phone, I saw Joyce's latest post―a photo of their hands intertwined. "Not everyone will wait for you forever, but someone always will." In that exact moment, my heart

The year we were supposed to get married, I broke up with her. Years later, she became rich and powerful. She used every dirty trick in the book to force me into marriage. Everyone said we were a match made in heaven, a love story written in the stars. But they didn't see what happened behind closed doors. She brought a different man home every other night just to spite me. I never reacted. I acted like I was invisible. While she was making noise with those men, I stayed in my room. I was s

Chapter 1 The house was dark and freezing cold. By the pale moonlight, I looked down at the clock on the wall as the hands crept toward midnight. I let out a soft sigh that barely made a sound. This was the third birthday of our marriage, and once again, Luke Vance was nowhere to be found. I sat alone in the dark for hours until the sky outside began to turn gray. Finally, the front door clicked open. Luke walked in, bringing a rush of cold air with him. When he saw my silhouette on the cou

Killian Sterling had been a sickly boy since the day he was born. To save him, the Sterling family took in four girls as potential spiritual brides. On the day of the final selection, a renowned mystic was invited to read our charts. He claimed that my astrological alignment was rare, possessing the power to bring immense prosperity and fertility. The Sterlings immediately arranged my marriage to Killian. Within three months, the once-frail Killian made a miraculous recovery. I also fell p

I spent three years loving Derek. From our college days to our first jobs, I poured my entire heart into that man. It wasn't until we sat down to discuss marriage that I saw the truth. In the eyes of the Miller family, I was nothing but a cheap bargain. They slashed the engagement gift to a laughable amount and piled on one insulting condition after another. Throughout it all, the man I loved stayed silent, refusing to say a single word in my defense. I ended the engagement right then and th

1 As professors at the nation's top research university, Selene and I were hailed as the Golden Couple of Academia. Our research breakthroughs ranked among the very best in the country. Everyone envied our picture-perfect marriage, praising us as a match made in heaven. Nobody could have imagined things would end in such an ugly, public disaster. The snow fell early this winter, heavy and freezing cold. The campus forum exploded with a leaked video showing Selene passionately kissing Rhett

1 On the eve of our wedding, my fiancé's childhood sweetheart was forced into an arranged marriage with the city's most notorious playboy to rescue her family's failing business. My fiancé couldn't bear to watch her suffer. So, he crashed her wedding and stole her away right at the altar. To publicly mark his claim, he even staged an extravagant drone light show that very night to profess his love for her. Overnight, all of high society was waiting to watch me and the Hayes family become th
