Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556: Because I already belong to her.

Emily’s lips lifted up in an arrogant, prideful smirk. If it had been before, she wouldn’t have loved to tell her identity so much. But now, things were different. She was different.

Putting on a smug expression, she gave a meaningful look to Arwen before speaking, "I am Emily, Arwen’s cousin and also soon to be Quinn family. You have heard of the Quinn family, right?"

Aiden’s jaws clenched as the realization dawned upon him. His gaze turned to look at Arwen, remembering the tabloids he read online regarding the announcement the Quinns had made.

Although Arwen seemed to stand unaffected, he knew the news had caused some irreparable emotional damage to her —one that she had made herself numb to.

"You look quite handsome to me, so I am giving you a chance to reconsider. Choosing her after she has lost everything won’t provide you with any benefits. However, if you come to my side today, I won’t treat you unfairly." Emily said, proposing a deal that she thought the man had no reason to refuse. "My cousin was once a great deal, when she belonged to the Quinn family. Now, leaving the title to me, she had left with nothing. So, just don’t get attracted to her looks. Be wise and think for the better."

If it had been just any man, she wouldn’t have minded. But he was particularly handsome, leaving her to Arwen would be a great loss.

So, she wanted to tempt him to choose her.

But little did she know —she had no charms to tempt the man she was thinking about.

Arwen frowned when she heard Emily. Her brows drew together, and her fingers clenched. "Emily, do you even know who you are coveting? He is my —"

Before she could finish, Emily scoffed unreasonably. "It doesn’t matter. As long as it’s something that belongs to you and I am interested in, I want it for myself. Be it your title or your man."

"And second thing, Arwen," she sniggered, "you can’t even stop me from having the clothes you like her. Do you think you can stop me from having your man?"

"She can."

Before Arwen could retort, Aiden’s cold, piercing voice subdued everything in the air.

Emily paused at once. Her brows furrowed as she turned to look at the man, slightly confused. "What do you mean?"

Aiden’s eyes were sharp and cold. "I meant exactly what you heard. As long as something belongs to her, no one else can claim it."

"Are you choosing her?" Emily’s blood boiled, and she could no longer keep the same arrogance. Her prideful composure slipped the moment she heard the man rejecting her without any hesitation.

But to Aiden, it wasn’t the same.

Turning to Arwen, his gaze became gentle. He held her hand in his and smiled. "I can’t choose her," he said, as if stating something obvious yet something very secret, "because I already belong to her. And once something belongs to someone, it can’t be taken away by anyone else."

Arwen was taken aback. Although she was used to his such deep, swooning words, she never thought he would ever speak them to her aloud, in front of so many people.
