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.

Olivia came after completing the call. Her expression was serious.

When Selene saw her, she asked, "What's wrong? Did you talk with Eric?"

The assistant nodded. "He said we have already reduced and cancelled what we could. For the rest, we have to manage."

"It would hardly be taking a week or s—" Olivia paused, suddenly realizing that Selene had agreed without refusing. "You agree?"

Selene looked at her calmly before nodding. "Yes, I did," she confirmed. "Isn't it just a week more?"

Olivia was not just surprised, she was shocked. But she composed herself quickly before nodding and briefing her out. "Yes, there is a photoshoot day after tomorrow and a brand event to attend later in the week. With these two done, we can leave for Cralens."

"Okay," Selene nodded as if understanding it well. "Two events are an easy feat. We will attend them and then go. Make arrangements accordingly."
