Chapter 1: A Fairy Tale Night

Ava's eyes sparkled like diamonds as she gazed up at Ethan. They danced under the starry sky, the sound of the waves gently caressing the shore. The luxurious resort, Ethan's pride and joy, was aglow with soft lights and music. It was a night straight out of a fairy tale.

As they swayed to the rhythm, Ava felt like a princess in Ethan's arms. She had never imagined that her life would take such a magical turn. From a humble background to a life of luxury, she had come a long way. And it was all thanks to Ethan, her knight in shining armor.

The music slowed, and Ethan's eyes locked onto hers. "Ava, my love," he whispered, his voice sending shivers down her spine. "You make every night feel like a fairy tale."

Ava's heart fluttered. She knew that their love was the stuff of dreams. She thought back to their first meeting, their whirlwind romance, and the way Ethan had swept her off her feet.

As they danced, Ava felt a sense of belonging, of being part of a world she never knew existed. Ethan's family, his friends, and his business associates all seemed to adore her. She was living a dream, and she never wanted to wake up.

But as the night wore on, Ava began to feel a subtle sense of unease. Ethan's phone kept buzzing, and he excused himself to take calls. His smile seemed a little forced, and his eyes kept darting towards the entrance of the resort.

Ava pushed her concerns aside and focused on the magic of the night. She didn't want anything to spoil this perfect evening.
