Leftover Love

One kiss.

That's all it took for her to be left alone at the marriage altar, abandoned by her groom.

And for him, it was all it took to realize that she was the one he wanted by his side.

He was a traditionalist; rigid in his beliefs about women.
She was bold. Rebellious. Unapologetically free.

"I believe a woman's strength lies in her grace, her loyalty, and her ability to hold the family together. A good wife should be supportive, nurturing, and put her family first."

That's what he expected from a wife.

But his heart betrayed his mind... and fell for a woman who embodied everything he was taught to despise.

"I want my partner to understand me, to love me for who I am. I want him to support me as I reach for the sky, and still be there when I dive into the depth of love."

That was the kind of love she had always longed for in a husband.

Just give it a chance if you're tired of the usual innocent angel type.
