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.

“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

Gianna sighed before leaning on the pillow behind her. "You already feel like this for him. What can I say?" she huffed. "But Wenna, have you never thought that thing between you and him is going way too fast? The way you are falling …sorry I mean, feeling for him is still so early given how recently you met with him?"

Arwen stared at her. She understood what she was implying to say. And of course, she had felt all that Gianna had mentioned. She knew the way her feelings had changed for Aiden over time; the way she had started to feel for him was way too fast than it should be.

From the very first day, she hadn't had any control. The moment her eyes fell on him; the moment she saw him —she turned to be the moth who couldn't hold herself back from getting bewitched by the fire.

Find it hard … without love.
