This is a fake marriage, but they love each other.
This is a fake marriage, but they love each other.
The music was loud in a space filled with colorful lights. The boys and girls dress extremely sexy and seductive. They just remained immersed in the background music. This is the city's big bar, of course, places like that are very complicated. But we can't equate everyone, some people come here because they're happy, and others come here because they're sad, so they come here to borrow alcohol to ease their sadness.
Juvia Melyon sighed, not knowing whether she was happy or sad, she looked at the glass of wine in her hand. She doesn't have the energy to think about dancing to this ear-catching music right now. My head is filled with the tiring things of life. She felt that life was very unfair to her, and she couldn't even decide on important matters in her life.
- Mom and Dad... do you two not love me anymore?
- Would you like to drink with me?
A deep, masculine voice rang out over the loud, loud music. Juvia raised her eyes and laughed at the man in front of her. She blinked, clinked her glass, and took a large gulp. Wine to her now is like water, no matter how much she drinks, she doesn't feel the spicy taste, only the aftertaste of enjoyment remains.
- Doctor Kelvin, what are you doing here? Shouldn't doctors be in the hospital?
- Doctors can't come here?
Juvia shook her head to show that she didn't know anything and then drank the glass of wine in her hand again. Kelvin raised his hand to stop her and sighed. This look of hers was so terrible, it only made his eyes itchy.
- What's wrong with you? Are you planning on drinking until your liver and kidneys are damaged?
- It's not that bad, I only drink once in a while... heh...
- Seriously, what's wrong with you?
- What's wrong with you? There's nothing wrong with it. If there's a chance, I'll go ask his dead best friend's name! I'm going crazy about him.
- Best friend? Do you mean Drake Belson?
She nodded, staggered, stood up, said goodbye to Kelvin, and left. Kelvin didn't have time to understand what was going on, he could only silently look after her.
- Hey, where are you going? Wait for me to pay!
As soon as she stepped out of the bar, Juvia was pulled back by an arm. The man had a black body, his eyes were as cold as ice looking at her. This person did not greet me politely, his voice was serious and cold.
- Who let you go to such places?
- Does it have anything to do with you? Whatever I do is my business.
- Irrelevant? So I remind you, we're getting married next week!
The alcohol in her body wasn't enough to make Juvia forget. She looked up at the man with disgusted eyes, not at all afraid but innocently asking back.
- So what? Isn't next week about next week? Now I'm still single, it's my business to do whatever I want. Do you understand?
Drake smirked, without saying many words, he directly picked her up, making her scream majestically. As she was about to walk to the car, another male voice rang out. Kelvin stepped out and grabbed his arm to stop him.
- Are you planning on doing something immoral?
- What's your story? She will eventually become my wife.
- I'll officially be your wife next week. If you're like that now, you might even go to jail for rape!
Drake exhaled, not caring about his best friend's nonsense. But looking down at his arms, Juvia has been sleeping soundly ever since. Her breathing was even and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
- This is my story, if you go to prison, my young master Luc will know how to get out himself.
- I'm just afraid of losing a close friend.
Drake glanced at Kelvin and then carried her to the car. Letting her into the co-pilot's seat, he sped back to his private villa. Putting the little girl down on the bed, Drake couldn't help but shake his head. Standing up and stepping out onto the balcony, he called Juvia's family to inform her that she was with him. I don't want both families to worry because of these small things.
Next week the two will officially get married, so knowing that she is with him will make Mr. and Mrs. Co extremely satisfied. Stepping inside, he smiled softly looking at the girl who was making a mess. The arms and legs move up and down, causing the soft mosquito net to wrinkle. Moving to pinch her nose gently, he gave a warning.
- If you bother my bed again, I will immediately throw you to the ground.
Juvia doesn't care about what he says now. She burped and waved her arms in all directions. Drake shook his head slightly and walked downstairs. Even if he lost, he couldn't throw her to the ground.
-Mrs. Mary, take over for her. Have some hangover water ready for her to drink for me.
- Yes.
- Just take any of my loose shirts for her to wear. Someone will bring her things tomorrow morning.
Mrs. Mary obediently went up to change her clothes. Drake crossed his legs on the sofa and scrolled through his phone a bit. Wait until Mrs. Mary walked down before going upstairs. Seeing her sleeping so soundly made him feel relieved. It's just those long, slender legs under the white shirt that make him feel so uncomfortable.
- Let me stay intact until the end of this week.
Suppressing himself, he walked over to the sofa and lay down. I'm just afraid that if I sleep in bed, I'll be beaten to death tomorrow morning. Stop eating bitter food for a week and you'll get it all back.
Drake tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. He lay on the sofa, his eyes only looking towards Juvia who was sleeping soundly. Thinking about his upcoming marriage, Drake doesn't know whether to be happy or sad. After all, this journey is also because of Grandpa John. He wanted him and her to become husband and wife, only then would Belson's Company be transferred to his name.
"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
My wealthy husband, Nathaniel, stormed in, demanding a divorce to be with his "dying" first love, Julia. He expected tears, pleas, even hysteria. Instead, I calmly reached for a pen, ready to sign away our life for a fortune. For two years, I played the devoted wife in our sterile penthouse. That night, Nathaniel shattered the facade, tossing divorce papers. "Julia's back," he stated, "she needs me." He expected me to crumble. But my calm "Okay" shocked him. I coolly demanded his penthouse, shares, and a doubled stipend, letting him believe I was a greedy gold digger. He watched, disgusted, convinced I was a monster. He couldn't fathom my indifference or ruthless demands. He saw avarice, not a carefully constructed facade. His betrayal had awakened something far more dangerous. The second the door closed, the dutiful wife vanished. I retrieved a burner phone and a Glock, ready to expose the elaborate lie he and Julia had built.
"You need a bride, I need a groom. Why don't we get married?" Both abandoned at the altar, Elyse decided to tie the knot with the disabled stranger from the venue next door. Pitying his state, she vowed to spoil him once they were married. Little did she know that he was actually a powerful tycoon. Jayden thought Elyse only married him for his money, and planned to divorce her when she was no longer of use to him. But after becoming her husband, he was faced with a new dilemma. "She keeps asking for a divorce, but I don't want that! What should I do?"
Vivian clutched her Hermès bag, her doctor's words echoing: "Extremely high-risk pregnancy." She hoped the baby would save her cold marriage, but Julian wasn't in London as his schedule claimed. Instead, a paparazzi photo revealed his early return-with a blonde woman, not his wife, at the private airport exit. The next morning, Julian served divorce papers, callously ending their "duty" marriage for his ex, Serena. A horrifying contract clause gave him the right to terminate her pregnancy or seize their child. Humiliated, demoted, and forced to fake an ulcer, Vivian watched him parade his affair, openly discarding her while celebrating Serena. This was a calculated erasure, not heartbreak. He cared only for his image, confirming he would "handle" the baby himself. A primal rage ignited her. "Just us," she whispered to her stomach, vowing to sign the divorce on her terms, keep her secret safe, and walk away from Sterling Corp for good, ready to protect her child alone.
For eight years, Cecilia Moore was the perfect Luna, loyal, and unmarked. Until the day she found her Alpha mate with a younger, purebred she-wolf in his bed. In a world ruled by bloodlines and mating bonds, Cecilia was always the outsider. But now, she's done playing by wolf rules. She smiles as she hands Xavier the quarterly financials-divorce papers clipped neatly beneath the final page. "You're angry?" he growls. "Angry enough to commit murder," she replies, voice cold as frost. A silent war brews under the roof they once called home. Xavier thinks he still holds the power-but Cecilia has already begun her quiet rebellion. With every cold glance and calculated step, she's preparing to disappear from his world-as the mate he never deserved. And when he finally understands the strength of the heart he broke... It may be far too late to win it back.
I just got my billionaire husband to sign our divorce papers. He thinks it's another business document. Our marriage was a business transaction. I was his secretary by day, his invisible wife by night. He got a CEO title and a rebellion against his mother; I got the money to save mine. The only rule? Don't fall in love. I broke it. He didn't. So I'm cashing out. Thirty days from now, I'm gone. But now he's noticing me. Touching me. Claiming me. The same man who flaunts his mistresses is suddenly burning down a nightclub because another man insulted me. He says he'll never let me go. But he has no idea I'm already halfway out the door. How far will a billionaire go to keep a wife he never wanted until she tried to leave?
