In other cases, the lovers manage to overcome all the obstacles. They prove to everyone that their love is stronger than the scandal, and they live happily ever after. This usually involves a lot of character growth and standing up against the norms that opposed them in the first place.
There are also endings where the relationship remains in a state of limbo. The scandal still lingers, and the lovers are neither fully together nor fully apart. They are constantly struggling with the consequences of their relationship being exposed, and the future of their love is uncertain.
Some end with the lovers parting ways sadly due to the overwhelming pressure from the scandal. They realize that they can't fight against society or family and choose to sacrifice their love.
In a few cases, the end of a scandal romance novel may be open - ended. The scandal is still somewhat unresolved, leaving the reader to imagine what might happen next. This can be a clever way for the author to keep the readers thinking about the story long after they've finished reading.
Some love stories end in a more bittersweet way. The couple may part ways, but they have grown and learned from the relationship. They might still have love for each other, but they realize that they are better off apart for various reasons, such as different life goals or personal growth directions.
They often end happily, with the couple getting together. For example, in many classic romances, the two lovers overcome all the difficulties and start a new life together.
At the end of a love story, the characters may experience a mix of emotions. If it's a positive end, they'll be overjoyed. But if it's negative, there could be anger, sadness, and confusion. For example, if one partner betrayed the other, the betrayed one might be angry at first, then sad as they realize the relationship is over, and confused about how to move forward.
Often, they end with the lovers being together. For example, in many traditional fantasy love stories, after facing numerous challenges like defeating an evil force or overcoming social barriers, the couple gets to be in a happy relationship.
Often, one person makes a choice. For example, in some stories, the female lead chooses the guy who she realizes truly loves her and has her best interests at heart.
Courtship love stories can end in different ways. Some end happily, like when the couple gets married and lives happily ever after, such as in the story of Cinderella and her prince. Others may end sadly, for example, if one of the lovers dies during the courtship or if external factors like family disapproval can't be overcome. Just like in 'Romeo and Juliet' where they both die because of their families' feud.
Cursed love stories can also end with the destruction of the lovers themselves. In 'Romeo and Juliet', they both took their own lives rather than live without each other. Their love was so strong but the curse of their families' enmity was too much to overcome. And in some cases, like 'Wuthering Heights', the curse extends beyond the lovers' lifetimes and affects future generations with pain and suffering.
Often they end in tragedy. For example, in 'Romeo and Juliet', which has elements of a dark love story, they both die. Their love is doomed by the feud between their families.
Often, common love stories end happily with the couple getting married or living together in a committed relationship. They might have overcome some difficulties, like misunderstandings or family opposition, and finally are able to be together in harmony.
