Scarlet_Shine

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.

"You need not have to tell me if you don't want to," Aiden said before he continued with his food. His every movement, every flex was dripping with elegance.

Arwen stared at him for a moment. If anyone would ask her to only sit there and watch him eating, she would willingly agree, given how good he looked even in such a basic act.

Her lips curled up slightly when she realized how easy was it for him to get her engrossed in him. She shook her head as she thought back about his words. He might have put it all up to her, but if she knew him even the slightest, then she knew that he needed to hear it all from her … that too willingly.

He didn't want to force her to tell him something that she wasn't comfortable in and that was the reason why the last time, he never let her talk about it in the car. At that time, he asked her to explain because he wanted her to accompany him in his car, rather than sitting with others.

Maybe, I did.
