Love Against All Odds
Rowan Remington finally accepted my marriage proposal. 
He told me to dress up, saying he had prepared a surprise for me. 
But when I arrived in my finest attire, Rowan did not present himself as the groom. 
Turning to my half-sister, Lisa, with a playful smile, he said, “You always complain that weddings are tedious and dull. Today, I’ll show you an interesting one. What do you think?” 
Just then, my elder half-brother, Miles, loudly declared, “The wedding is on hold!” 
Suddenly, my childhood friend, Nathan Keller hurled a water balloon—prepared in advance—at me and it smashed down on my head, completely drenching me. 
Rowan arched a teasing brow at me. “It was just a joke, Tessa. You didn’t actually think I was going to marry you, did you?” 
The so-called wedding was nothing more than a farcical performance to entertain Lisa, who was suffering from depression. 
As I stood in stunned silence, Rowan chuckled and added, “If you’re that desperate to get married, why not pick someone from the guests and tie the knot right now?” 
So, I did. 
I walked down the aisle with a new groom in hand. 
That’s when they panicked.
