She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him.
 
She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. 

She forgot her true identity —for him. 

But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart.

Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. 

So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. 

Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again.

Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” 

“If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.”

His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.”

Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.”

“On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—”

“Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

Though Delyth knew that she hadn't given a good first impression to him, she knew that every man holds an urge to protect the woman who is weak and vulnerable. And this gentleman of the doctor couldn't be any different.

As long as she acts frail, he would agree to help and forget whatever impression he had of her in the first time. After all, holding a grudge with a crippled woman would only degrade his reputation. For Arwen or any woman, he would sacrifice it. With that confidence, she glanced up at him, keeping her gaze soft and tearful.

Dr. Cred who had noted the words, looked back at Jason with slight confusion. "Dr. Clark, do you know her?" he asked, already assuming the back of his mind.

Given she was dressed in the patient's clothes, it wasn't hard for him to guess she was a patient here. If she was a patient here, and she knew Dr. Clark, it would be possible that the help Jason was referring to before was regarding her.

Not interested.
