"And Now We Are Free"
by Rhianne
Elisse was raised to be someone's perfect bride-poised, polished, and promised to a man she no longer recognizes. But when she slowly walks away from an arranged (and loveless) engagement and a future she never truly wanted, Elisse begins to discover who she is beneath the expectations. With the help of loyal friends, quiet rebellion, and a few bitter run-ins with the past, she starts to reclaim her voice-and her freedom.
In a world where appearances mean everything, Elisse is about to learn that choosing yourself is the boldest act of all.

The Unexpected Escape
A diamond necklace. A betrayal. One spontaneous escape that changes everything. Ava had the life she was told to want: a stunning house, endless luxury, and a thriving business built with her own two hands. Her husband, Ethan, was the ambitious high school sweetheart who promised her the world, and she became his quiet, devoted foundation-the brilliant mind behind his success in high-end real estate, sacrificing her own artistic dreams along the way. For their two-year wedding anniversary, Ethan whisks Ava away to New York. The roses are red, the diamond is dazzling, and the lie is absolute. When Ava overhears a cruel conversation, the gilded cage shatters. The man she worships is nothing more than a polished facade, and her life has been a meticulously crafted performance. Leaving everything behind except the clothes on her back and her husband's platinum card, Ava flees. Hurt quickly turns to incandescent anger, and fueled by a single, extravagant act of defiance, Ava finds herself in the orbit of Charles Hudden, a globally famous actor looking for an escape of his own. In a whirlwind decision, Ava accepts Charles's impulsive offer-a three-day trip to a secluded British overseas territory. With a new name, a new wardrobe, and the terrifying Cami as her chaperone, Ava must confront the woman she locked away. But as the tropical air starts to heal her wounds, she realizes that the biggest threat to her freedom isn't the husband she left behind, but the deep-seated fear of finally being able to trust again. Her marriage was a prison. Her escape is about to become a masterpiece.Complete

Bride by Design
Halfway through her walk, her secretary appeared. Helena stopped to hear what he had to say. My vision for this long awaited day shattered when she tossed her veil away. "Excuse me!" The sound of my heart breaking into tiny little pieces was deafening and the murmurs of shocked family, friends and guests were muted. The wedding official's voice cut through. "Are you ok, dear?" Was I? For someone who was left standing at the altar... A jilted bride... I pushed the pain away, "I'm alright." The signs were always there. I only have myself to blame for the humiliation I had to suffer again today. I fell in love on my own so it was only fair to hurt alone. Fairy tale endings weren't for everyone; I knew this at the back of my mind. I may be foolish for thinking it but I always believed love has requirements; a beautiful face, a kind heart, deep pockets, a backbone - the list goes on. The requirements to be loved in return varied in proportions. So... Did I meet the standards? I had the money to entice her family. I had the backbone to stand by my decision to marry. I have a heart that loves her alone. I just fell a bar under beautiful. One could say I was passable. Somewhere along the line I must have missed and failed a mark... Just passable... Maybe that was the reason why she just passed me by. © All rights reservedComplete
