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.”

“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

After finishing her breakfast, Arwen looked up at Aiden. Though his features still looked all calm and composed, she could tell that he was having some conversation that wasn't going his way.

Her eyes darted to look at his plate that he had barely eaten. She sighed internally and simply waited for his call to be done. Once she saw him hang up, she pursed her lips at him and said, "You didn't even have your breakfast properly. Is there some problem going on in the company?"

Aiden shook his head and shrugged. "Nothing that can't be handled," he said and then looked down at his plate, frowning slightly. "I am already done, and no longer in the mood of having anymore."

"Really?" Arwen eyed him before narrowing her gaze slowly but meaningfully at him. "You are not a kid, Husband that I need to coax you to complete the breakfast."

You are a sweet talker.
