Hired Fiance Chapter 96
Emma's POV Flashback....I wanted to trust Ryan, to believe that what was happening between us was real, that it wasn’t just another illusion, another charade that would eventually crumble and leave me more broken than before. But trusting meant being vulnerable, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready for that. Not yet.So, I decided to focus on the present, on the small moments that made me feel alive, that made me feel something other than the numbness I’d grown so used to. The way Ryan’s hand felt when it brushed against mine, the way his eyes softened when he looked at me, the way his voice wrapped around me like a warm blanket when he spoke. Those were the things I clung to, the things that kept me grounded, even as the storm of emotions continued to rage inside me.And maybe, just maybe, if I held on to those moments long enough, I’d find the strength to take that leap, to step off the edge of the cliff and into the unknown. But for now, I was content to wait, to let the tension buil

Emma's POV Ryan didn’t look surprised, but there was a flash of something in his eyes—relief, maybe, or understanding. He nodded slowly, his hand still lingering near my face as if he wasn’t sure whether to pull away or cup my cheek again. “We don’t have to figure it all out right now, Emma,” he said softly. “We can take it one step at a time.”“I know,” I whispered, though the thought of moving at a snail’s pace made me feel like I was suffocating. “It’s just… I’m not used to this.”“Used to what?”“To feel this way,” I admitted, my voice trembling slightly. To want something so badly, but not knowing if I can actually handle it...I thought in my mind as I could not say this aloud And then, just as the protagonist confessed his love in the most heart-wrenching scene, Ryan paused the film and turned to me, his face earnest."Emma," he began softly, his voice full of an emotion I couldn’t quite identify, "There’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you."My heart skipped a beat, and

Emma's POV Ryan’s expression softened, and he leaned in slightly, his hand finally settling on my cheek. “Emma, you’ve been through a lot. It’s okay to feel conflicted. You don’t have to have all the answers right now. I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere. We’ll figure this out together, no rush.”I closed my eyes at his words, a wave of emotion crashing over me. How could he be so understanding? So patient? It was everything I needed, but also everything that scared me. Because deep down, I knew that once I let my guard down, once I allowed myself to fall for him completely, there would be no going back. And that terrified me.It terrified me because I was concerned about him. “Ryan,” I said, my voice trembling," I can’t give you what you want. I don’t want you to regret this later.”“Why would I ever regret wanting to be with you?” he asked, his tone filled with genuine bewilderment.“Are... you even... listening?” I stammered, “I told you, I don’t think I’m capable of loving anyo
Hired Fiance Chapter 99
Emma's POV " What's wrong with you? How can you even think that you are not capable of loving? I will never regret marrying you. And if you do not agree, I will never marry. Tell me, do you think, I will be happy then? " He asked me, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. " Why?? Why can't you marry some nice girl, who could love you back? You deserve to be loved back, I am very frigid, never felt anything for anyone. " I was hell-bent to convince him." You are a very nice girl and I want to marry you." " But after we get married, you will expect me to... I mean... Please, Ryan, try and understand. I will not be able to reciprocate. You will never be happy. " I said looking into his eyes. " Don't make excuses, if you don't want to marry me, say that you don't want to directly. " I said as I was thoroughly irritated now. " I am not lying. " " No!! I have seen the way your body reacts to mine..." " No! I get uncomfortable. " " Ok, fine!! I would rather have a Frigid Bride

Emma's POV Flashback..." Emma, will you please marry me and make me the happiest man on this planet? " He asked. Tears welled up in my eyes as I nodded slowly. “Okay,” I whispered. “Okay, Ryan. I’ll marry you.”A smile broke across his face, the purest, happiest smile I had ever seen. And in that moment, I knew that, despite all my fears and doubts, this was the right decision. Because with Ryan, I felt something I had never felt before—a sense of belonging, of being truly seen and accepted for who I was.As he kissed me, softly and sweetly, I felt the first flicker of hope that maybe, just maybe, I wasn’t as broken as I thought. Maybe, with Ryan’s love, I could learn to love myself and, in turn, love him the way he deserved.My heart was in my throat. “Ryan, I’m scared,” I admitted.“I know,” he said, his thumb gently caressing my cheek. “But I’ll be here, every step of the way. You don’t have to do this alone.”And for the first time in a long time, I allowed myself to believe in

Emma's POV I could picture it already, the two of us standing under the bright lights of Las Vegas, the world melting away until it was just the two of us.“And Eva?” I asked quietly, my voice tinged with uncertainty. “What if she feels upset that we didn’t wait?”Ryan smiled, a soft, understanding smile that made my heart flutter. “We’ll tell her together, and I’m sure she’ll understand. She loves you, and she knows how much we mean to each other. This is our moment, Emma. Let’s not let it slip away. Say, yes, please! " I bit my lip, my mind racing, but deep down, I knew my answer. I loved him, wanted him. And for once in my life, I wanted to do something purely for myself, for my happiness.“Alright,” I whispered, my voice trembling with a mix of excitement and fear. “Let’s do it. Let’s go to Las Vegas and get married.”Ryan’s face lit up with a grin that made my stomach flip. He leaned, pressing a quick, passionate kiss to my lips. “You won’t regret this, Emma. I promise you.”"

Emma's POV Ryan stood at the altar, his eyes never leaving me as I walked towards him. I felt my heart swell as I saw the emotion in his gaze, the love that radiated from him like warmth from the sun. He was everything I had ever wanted and more.As we exchanged vows, the words seemed to come naturally, as if we had always known what to say.“Emma,” Ryan began, his voice steady but thick with emotion, “From the moment I met you, I knew you were different. You challenged me, pushed me, and made me a better man. I promise to love you every day, to support you, and to stand by your side no matter what life throws at us. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you, making new memories, building our future together.”Tears welled up in my eyes as I said my vows, my voice trembling but clear. “Ryan, you’ve shown me what love really is. You’ve been patient with me, even when I was difficult, and you’ve loved me unconditionally. I promise to love you with all my heart, to be your part
Hired Fiance Chapter 103
Emma's POV The car ride was short, the neon lights of the Strip blurring past as we made our way to the hotel. It was a place we had chosen together, a blend of luxury and intimacy, somewhere we could begin our new life together away from prying eyes. The city outside was alive with energy, but inside the car, there was a different kind of electricity, one that crackled between us, unspoken yet undeniable.When we arrived at the hotel, Ryan helped me out of the car, his hand warm and reassuring in mine. The lobby was grand, with marble floors and glittering chandeliers, but all I could focus on was him. As we checked in, I felt a flutter in my chest, a mix of anticipation and nervousness. This was it—our first night as husband and wife. The thought sent a shiver down my spine, because of fear, not of excitement. I hope he doesn't get disappointed. What if he gets annoyed because I can't respond to him as he wanted? Everything was about to change, and I was not sure if I was ready
