Royal Compromise

Life is full of surprises, like being in the same wedding party with my ex- boyfriend.

I did it! I opened a successful bakery in my hometown.

Soon, my best friend Rose is tying the knot. It's a privilege to be her maid of honor.

What a surprise to hear that my old flame Cade is the Best Man. It's even more surprising when Rose gives me a mission to complete with him.

A weekend away with him is the last thing I want. Seven years have passed and he is still as arrogant as I remember.

But I can’t help remembering what we once had.

Our brief but intense romance left an indelible mark on both of us.

His words of love and commitment once made me feel secure.

But it all changed when Mr Grumpy left for the city to pursue his career. Now a successful CEO, one look from him still gives me butterflies.

His thoughtful gestures during the wedding prep feel like fate playing a hand.

Our connection is different yet familiar, leaving me wondering if a second chance is on the horizon.
