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.”

“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

Arwen's brows furrowed as she kept her gaze at Gianna, waiting for her to speak up whatever she had in her mind. But when she saw her raising her brows at her, she knew she wasn't going to speak until she heard her ask.

Hence, she probed, "Who is it, Anna?"

"My uncle, of course," Gianna answered the very next moment, making Arwen blink in confusion.

"Your uncle? You mean Aiden?" she repeated, only to see her nodding her head profusely.

"Yes, that's him," Gianna confirmed before adding. "I know this will make only sense in some broken, twisted theory, but he perfectly fits in that description. He is fearless and would never hesitate or back down in front of anyone. Ryan simply doesn't even stand in his league, So, isn't he very suitable to be that mysterious man?"

Sisters over misters.
