Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

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. ____ Excerpt: 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.

My husband dotes on me.

Although those words stung Arwen's tongue, she still let it roll off because that was the only way she could preserve her resolve. After she had left this place for good, she couldn't let anything hold her back anymore. 

"Arwen, how are you speaking to your Dad?" Catrin's voice cut through the air as she walked closer, closing the distance between them. She hadn't expected Idris to return early, but suddenly his presence felt like a blessing. At least with him here, she could ask him to stop Arwen. "Do you know how much your father has been blaming himself since the day you left us? He is punishing himself every day, thinking he wasn't a good father to you." 

Arwen's fingers clenched at that. She knew her father would be doing that, and the daughter in her was aching to wipe away all the guilt he carried. But doing so would only tether her again to the chains she had worked so hard to break—the chains of the compelled emotions she carried for her parents.
