CHAPTER 1

Elowen’s POV"It's perfect." I whispered mostly under my breath as my dress was willed in. It was everything I ever wanted. I walked closer and ran my finger through the beadings.Jay's collection never failed to deliver excellence and I was grateful my dream was coming through. I was planning my dream wedding."Can I try it on?" I asked, feeling giddy.I had personally sketched the dress myself and truth be told, it looked so much better seeing it on fabric and in 3D. Indeed my life was beautiful. I thought to call Owen, my fiance on a video call but I figured it would be better if he saw it all as a surprise on our big day."I'm sorry Ma'am but this is a customized wedding dress. We can't let just anyone try it on. It was designed on special request to fit the bride's exact measurement." I frowned. I was about to complain when I realized she was only doing her job—I smiled.It was more comforting to know that nobody had fit my dress before me. I reached into my bag and presented t

CHAPTER 2

Elowen's POV"Dad," the words failed me. Were they really about to cancel my wedding for Lilith's sake?I had planned and scheduled this wedding at different times and had to move it for her sake, Dad had insisted she be my chief bride's maid.First it was that she had exams in school then her project defence was too close to the date then they had to prepare for her convocation then her master's degree so she had to travel for a year and I had waited out all the excuses yet they were canceling my wedding for hers.Tsk. Lilith didn't even have a serious relationship to begin with. I folded my arms across my chest and waited for the new story."You're giving out your precious daughter so quickly in marriage all because she wants my wedding date not so? And my wedding dress was the best fit for your emergency arrangement. How nice." I shook my head.It was barely a surprise but I didn't expect they'd go that far to be that cruel to me."Lilith is sick, Elowen." The words rolled out of D

CHAPTER 3

Elowen's POV"We already changed the details on that too." Lilith confirmed my suspicion.I staggered two steps backwards, Owen was quick to stabilize me. "Are you alright?" I didn't push him away immediately, I allowed him lead me to one of the chairs. It was all a lot for me to absorb in and of course I wasn't alright. "I know this is a lot for you to take in but I promise you that I have no affection for Lilith at all, you are the one I want to marry and spend the rest of my life with." Owen stooped to my height and held my hand in his.I had no words. I simply stared at him , bamboozled. "El, we complete each other. It's El and Owen forever."He was right, he was the better part of me. Even my name was incomplete without his. Everyone called us a match made in heaven."You're about to take the vows of forever with someone else.""It's just 3 months," he shot to his feet. Owen had a short temper."Stop being unreasonable El, your sister is dying. Why can't you understand that I'

CHAPTER 4

RYAN POVThat was when I saw her. I had been watching her like a hawk.Long black hair cascading down her back like tendrils, soft olive skin and..."That's enough for one night," I canceled her order. She looked wasted though she tried to act like she was OK."What are you doing?" She scolded me when I wouldn't let the bartender serve her another shot of tequila."Saving you. You're welcome." I smiled."Who do you think you are? Stupid gender that thinks they can tell me how to live my life," she cursed and I knew a man had wronged her.I pulled a stool closer to hers and sat, my elbow leaned on the counter as I sat facing her."Just call me a friend of the night for now." It was shocking that she could ask who I was, proof she was completely drunk."Whatever, I'm Elowen and you?" She held out a hand to me, her speech slurred."Ryan. Nice to meet you." My eyes danced with humor. De javu. Exactly the same way we met the first time years ago."Ryan, I know ‘a Ryan’ but he's a son of a
