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.

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

Although Arwen had already agreed to Beca over the call, she had long decided that it would be Aiden's decision that would prevail. Not because she thought she had done something wrong by giving a word to Beca, but because she didn't want him to feel wronged.

So, if he refuses the idea, she wouldn't even care to argue for it.

Aiden glanced at her and gently turned to her, giving her a nod to continue ahead.

Arwen stared at him for a moment before carefully framing her words. She still remembers the last time the mere mention of Ryan left him so jealous. He might have not have made it very obvious, but it was way more than clear in his eyes and the way he acted. That was the first time she knew he was 'possessive' of her.

People called possessiveness a toxic trait of a relationship, but she didn't know why when he was possessive of her, she felt good.

First and the last.
