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.”

“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

It took a while for Gianna to react. Even though she pieced it all together, she still couldn't bring herself to believe that Aarwen married her uncle. But no longer able to bear the disbelief, she walked forward, greeting politely.

"Uncle," she began, planning to confirm once. But the moment, Aiden's eyes turned to her, she immediately faltered, changing her tone. "It's nice meeting you after so long."

Aiden glanced at her briefly before nodding to her. Arwen was taken aback but when she saw Aiden simply nodding to Gianna, she repeated, "Uncle?" Turning to Gianna, she couldn't help but incredulously ask, "Is he the uncle you mentioned every time to me?"
