The Taylor Group heiress was Scarlett Taylor.
She spent two days at her family’s estate, pulling herself together. She rode her horse across the plains, feeling refreshed and invigorated. On a small hill, she reined in her horse, shouting at the sky, “Okay! I’m ready! Bring on whatever challenges lie ahead!”
She was apprehensive; she hadn’t dared to look up her fiancé’s information and was still unaware of his appearance or background. But she was mentally prepared for anything Scarlett took a deep breath, opening her phone to search for her fiancé’s details. Her phone rang. She answered through her Bluetooth headset.
It was Steve.“Scarlett, come back. Your brother’s home.”
Scarlett hadn’t seen her brother in over six months. She put away her phone, turning her horse and heading down the hill. The marriage was a done deal; regardless of her fiancé, she had to go through with it.

Scarlett’s eyes widened in shock. The man was Leon Brooks, her fiancé! This was too much of a coincidence.
Leon raised an eyebrow, offering a charming smile.“Hello again.”
Steve was surprised.“You’ve met before?”
Ted was curious.“How do you know each other?”
Scarlett’s face flushed crimson; she felt awkward, anxious, and embarrassed. After their…first encounter, would he still want to marry her?
Leon remained calm.“We were seated next to each other on the flight back to Paris.”
Steve and Ted exclaimed simultaneously, “What a coincidence!”
Steve and Ted exchanged a subtle glance. They immediately sensed the underlying tension.
Steve said, “Leon’s also a skilled equestrian. Scarlett, show him around the estate.”
Scarlett had questions for Leon.“Okay.”
Leon gestured towards the stables.
Scarlett nodded, walking beside him. Steve watched them, smiling.“A perfect match, isn’t it?”
Ted added, “He’s barely good enough for my sister.”
