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.

Delyth was taken aback, her face red in embarrassment. She knew convincing Dr. Clark would be difficult, but she never knew it would be so humiliating. She might be in a wheelchair now, but she was the country's renowned ballet dancer. How could he demean her like that?

"Enough!" Jason snapped. His voice wasn't loud, but it was so cold that it almost froze the crowd around them. "Don't cross my patience, Ms. Ember. I might be warm and gentle to my patients, but I won't sit back and casually take people badmouthing my family."

The doctors, nurse and Delyth flinched, and so did Dr. Cred. For a moment, dreadful silence filled the air as if everyone was scared to make any noise. But after the briefest second, people recovered.
