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.”

Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.”

“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's entire life depended upon Ryan —not because she loved him and couldn't live without him, but because she was nothing without him.

Yes, she had been a renowned ballet dancer who was well-appreciated around the country. But it wasn't her dance that made her shine on the stage. It was her image around Ryan, the young CEO of Foster Ventures, that garnered her attention. '

People used to cater to her because they knew her ties with Ryan.

They favoured her and agreed to all her requests and demands because they knew that if they didn't, Ryan would anyway make it happen for her. They knew he doted on her more than he doted on anyone.

But now, if Ryan abandoned her, she would be finished. Completely over.

No, that can't happen. Just the thought made Delyth panic. She glanced at Ryan and shook her head.

But sigh, it was too late.
