RYAN’S POVFLASHBACKMy dream was initially to go into medicine and become a medical doctor, until one day, my father suddenly had the brilliant idea to leave all of his company’s top managerial positions under my name, desperate knowing that I had no interest in anything business.I refused the position at first, but when I saw how desperately my father wanted me to take over from him, I was left with no other choice but to take over the position and get into construction instead of medicine.I was confused when my father initially offered the company to me. I genuinely wanted to understand why he was handing it over, despite the fact that he was still able to keep running the company without me.I had thought that he just wanted to have control over me, but his response surprised me instead.“I’m giving you everything because I want to pursue my dreams as well. I’m already over sixty, and I haven’t even fulfilled one of my biggest wishes yet,” he stated.“Of course, my most importan

SCARLET POV.“Stop the car for a while,” I requested, not confident that I could respond the way I wanted to if the car was in motion. Thankfully, he didn’t seem to have a problem with my request, as he quickly drove into a corner and parked the car.“Do you have an answer?” he asked.“Look at me,” I demanded, and he obeyed.“Good,” I muttered. “Now listen, all my life, I have always been seen as the gullible and easy-to-please one because of how much I accepted and looked away from a lot of bullshit. I have been disrespected, cheated on, abandoned, and humiliated by the people I loved and thought loved me as well. I am barely hanging on right now, and if I wasn’t such a weakling, I probably would have ended myself by now. That’s how distraught and destroyed I feel.”“But then you showed up and offered to help me. You offered to give me a last name that would put me in a position to get back at everyone who made a fool of me and turned me into this person that I detest so much. So thi

“Now for rule number two; it’s the no touching rule. I can understand if, at public events, we need to hold hands and seem like an actual couple. But we must always find a way to limit any skinship and such things as kissing and the above are completely forbidden in this marriage,” Scarlet declared, her tone clear and strict.She had expected him to agree with her immediately, but instead, he smiled, and she immediately knew that he was about to say something she would not agree with.“I agree with the no-touching rule, and I can assure you that I do not intend to do anything with you. But you need to realize that there are going to be a few exceptions. An example is on our wedding day, when we’ll be asked to share a kiss. Now, I know I could fake it one way or another, but I don’t intend to do that. If I’m going to act like I’m completely head over heels in love with you in public, we’re going to have to share a kiss,” he stated boldly, causing Scarlet’s eyes to grow two times wider.

RYAN POV:"I can't believe it, sir. Are you really getting married to that woman?" Larry, my secretary, asked, his surprise evident."As you can see, she and I have clearly drafted a sample contract, which means that I will be marrying her," I said, pointing out the obvious.It was obvious that he wasn't exactly ecstatic about the idea of me marrying Sandra, and I could understand him since marriage wasn't exactly a conventional way to go about revenge."Forgive me for what I'm about to say, but when I told you about that woman and how Henry had dumped her, the idea I had in mind had nothing to do with marriage at all. I still feel there are other ways you could help her get her revenge without having to marry her,” he said, and I had to agree that he had a point."I understand your concerns, but I feel like you're missing the bigger picture here. You better than anyone should know that I would never go into something without having my reasons, so instead of seeming so worried and dis

Anna stared at Ryan, her eyes widening in surprise. Her son had always made it clear that marriage was not in his plans. So when he suddenly announced that he was getting married in a week, it came as a shock. She couldn’t help but question if she had heard him correctly.“What are you talking about?” Anna asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. “Getting married? Since when? You’ve always been against the idea, desperate the many times that I tried to convince you otherwise. So, what’s this about getting married out of nowhere?”Ryan maintained his composure, meeting his mother’s gaze with a calm resolve. “I understand this might have come as a surprise, Mom. But yes, I am getting married in a week. I just thought you and Dad should know.”Raymond, Ryan’s father, struggled to process the news. His son, who had been adamant about his disinterest in marriage, was suddenly changing course. The air was thick with confusion as he voiced his skepticism.“Ryan, why the sudden change of heart
