Chapter 6
Outside the castle gates, Tyler stood in full regalia–his tailored royal outfit straight out of a medieval fairytale–waiting for Sharon Parham to arrive.
But inside, he was a mess of nerves and doubt.
The night before, he and Michelle had gone wild at his so–called bachelor party. After the chaos, they’d stayed up perfecting every detail of their wedding–crashing stunt.
It had to be sudden, stylish, and unforgettable–the kind of scene that would become a classic.
But in the middle of the night, he had a dream. In it, after this latest runaway wedding, Sharon had finally given up on him. She was done- really done.
She left him for good.
“Tyler, my pride, my dignity, my self–worth–you’ve shattered them beyond repair.
“I’m done. I can’t keep doing this. Let’s just set each other free.
“From now on, we’re nothing. We’re over. Forever.”
She turned and walked away without hesitation.
No matter how hard he called after her, she never looked back.
He jolted awake, drenched in sweat.

And suddenly, the whole plan didn’t feel so funny anymore.
Should he really go through with it?
Would Sharon truly cut him off this time?
This was a woman who was steady, kind, beautiful, loyal, talented, and responsible.
Losing her he wasn’t sure he could handle it.

His gaze drifted to the edge of the lawn, where Michelle was lounging with a cigarette between her fingers.
She was wearing a tank top, cutoff shorts, and flip–flops. A snarling wolf tattoo sprawled across her chest for the world to see.
This wild, reckless woman–the rock singer with a filthy mouth, a criminal record, and zero filter–was chaos incarnate. He knew she was trouble, but she was like a black hole–dangerous and magnetic. No matter how hard he tried to resist, she kept pulling him back in.
He was like a moth to a flame.
Tyler had grown up in a suffocating household.
His parents had sky–high expectations and ironclad discipline.
One wrong move, and he’d be grounded for days.
Tyler was the son of his father’s second marriage, which put him in constant competition with his older half–brother, the one everyone assumed would inherit everything.
Tyler was fiercely competitive. He wanted to prove himself to the family that he was just as worthy, if not more.

So he worked like a machine, studied relentlessly, pushed himself at every turn to show the world how capable he was.
He was always walking on eggshells, never daring to let his guard down for even a second.
He got into a top university, took the reins of the family company, picked a girlfriend who was smart, poised, and responsible–someone his parents would be proud of.
With Sharon by his side, the company thrived.
The family elders eventually acknowledged his hard work. Three years ago, they handed him the company–completely–choosing him over his half–brother once and for all.
Fulfilling that lifelong goal brought him immense satisfaction, but also a sudden, overwhelming exhaustion.
For over a decade, he’d been like a tightly wound clock. He had been moving in endless cycles, always on edge, always performing.
He worked around the clock, seven days a week, with no weekends or holidays.
And though he gained success, he lost so much more along the way.
He never had time for pleasure.
Never splurged on cars or watches.
There was no joy, no thrill.
Only grind. Only hustle.
More importantly, he had never truly experienced the fire and wildness

of love.
Unlike other rich kids who had women lining up, he’d only ever had
one.
In his mind, that was a bad deal.
Sharon was his first love.
He chose her because she was the smartest, most mature, most dependable girl in their class.
She was the perfect business partner. She checked every box his parents valued.
But Sharon didn’t do romance. She didn’t know how to flirt, didn’t pamper him with sweet words, didn’t know how to make a man feel adored.
