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

Delyth didn't like her. And Zenith feared that seeing her around, she would lose the little patience she might have to talk it out with Ryan.

However, Ryan's gaze remained calm and collected as if he had thought it through before bringing her here. "It's not a bad idea too," he said before finally unbuckling his seatbelt. "But if you are uncomfortable, I can understand. You can wait for me in the car."

Zenith watched him as her reached out to push the door of his side open before stepping out.

He had barely taken a few steps when his steps paused hearing the click from the car. He turned to check, only to find Zenith stepping out it and then walking in his direction.

He didn't say anything, but he looked at her. And she explained, "I don't think I would be uncomfortable. Since you brought me here to accompany, I would come along."

Ryan nodded, and then they walked to take the elevator.

No longer responsible.
