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

Meanwhile at the hospital, after long hours, finally the red light outside the operation theatre was set off.

Ryan glanced up and right at that moment, the door of the room was pulled open. He stood up and saw Dr. Walters coming out.

"Dr. Walter," he called as he quickly walked to him. His brows furrowed in concern.

The doctor gave him a small smile and then slowly nodded. "Mr. Foster, you can relax now," he said as he slowly removed his cap. "The surgery was successful. Now with this complete, the day is not far when Ms. Ember will be able to stand up on her feet once again."

Ryan's expression eased and he finally relaxed. "Thank you, Dr. Walter."

The doctor smiled and gracefully accepted his words before adding, "Ms. Ember is still under the effect of the sedative. She will be moved to the ICU first and later after a few days, we will have her shifted to the private ward. For now, you can wait for her to regain her consciousness."

It's pleasant.
