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.”

“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

Aiden was working in his study when he heard hasty steps approach him.

Without lifting his gaze, he asked, "What made you panic suddenly? Did you encounter any problem in buying the shares?" he asked nonchalantly.

When Aiden didn't hear him speaking even after a few seconds, he glanced up at him from the documents.

"Sir, someone seems to be investigating you."

Emyr just received the information from his sources that someone is trying to investigate his boss's identity and even beyond it.

No ripple of surprise came to Aiden's expression. It was as if he had expected it to come sooner or later.

"Didn't you already reveal my identity the last time? Are they not satisfied with what they come to know about me?" he asked.

Emyr's expression turned a bit more serious than before. "Sir, it's not Ryan Foster this time," he said.

Was this really her?
