A wealthy young man, heartbroken after a tough breakup, decided to marry the first woman whod say yes. But on the wedding day, something unexpected happened. Shattered, he spent a whole day locked in his room before stepping out with a decision: hed marry the first woman who agreed. In the park, a girl named Emily said “Yes.” She didnt ask whyjust smiled and went with him.
“Tomorrow, well apply for the license,” he told her. “Then well visit your parents.”
Emily surprised himsharp, calm, independent. She wasnt waiting for a prince, but she saw something real in James. The whole month before the wedding, they were inseparable. He picked the dress, the rings, organised everything himself. Somehow, in the chaos, he found balance.
Then, on the wedding day at the registry office, something unexpected happened.
They ran into Sophie. Her stare was icy, confused. James held it together, wished her well. Only then did it hit himhe wasnt marrying for revenge, but for a fresh start.
With Emily, everything was different: no drama, just trust. She bonded with Jamess sister Lucy, helped push the family business to new heights. They built homes, lived quietly. But James felt something missingthe old passion, the ache hed had with Sophie.
When Emily left to visit her gran, he made a choicehe messaged Sophie. She was alone, jobless, single. They met. And everything about her felt foreignher perfume, her voice, her manner. “What am I even doing here?” he thought.
He drove off in a hurry. Back home, it hit him: Emily was his real love. Hed never even called her “darling,” yet she was closer than anyone. Speeding down the motorway, he barely made it in time to say:
“I couldnt last two days without you.”
“Youre absolutely mad,” she laughed through tears.
“Emily, my love,” he whispered, and in that moment, he knewhappiness isnt drama. Its whos there when you finally open your eyes.
