Rejected by My Childhood Crush: Then Adored by a CEO
“Ever since childhood, Emma Parker had drawn the wrong kind of attention because of her overly striking figure. Girls isolated her. Men harassed her. Even Ryan Cooper, the boy who had grown up beside her, treated her like someone whose devotion could be mocked and taken for granted. Just to be with him, she had finally gathered the courage to walk into a breast reduction clinic. And there, she met Daniel Bennett. The cold, untouchable doctor everyone in Riverton whispered about. He was the first man who had ever looked at her without judgment in his eyes. "Your boyfriend's beauty standards aren't a medical diagnosis." He taught her how to stop shrinking herself for other people. When Ryan's friends sneered at her and humiliated her, Daniel stood between her and every cruel word. When a perverted doctor tried to assault her, he arrived just in time and pulled her into his arms. For the first time in her life, Emma stopped living under the weight of other people's stares. Only after watching her grow brighter, more confident, more dazzling by the day, did Ryan realize what he had lost. Regret consumed him. He begged her to look back at him one more time. But Daniel merely pulled the girl in his arms closer, his gaze turning cold. "Too late. She's mine."”
