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.

"You didn't understand it, did you?" she ridiculed. Taking a step closer, she whispered close to her ear, "But believe me, it's the truth. Soon, I will take the position that was once yours. And when that time comes, I will see how proudly you hold yourself in front of me. You boast yourself in front of me."

Taking her position …?

Arwen was truly confused. She had no idea what Emily was even talking about.
