I, Claire Bennett, and James Carter, the heir of the Carter family in Ristarville, were basically forced into an engagement by our families when we were kids. Because of that arrangement, I'd always treated him like my personal project and kept a closer eye on him than anyone else. Every time I got too controlling, he'd glare at me and warn, "Claire, mark my words. One day, I'm getting out of this stupid engagement." Then out of nowhere, I found out I was actually a fake heiress, like, switched at birth. The second I learned the truth, I tucked away my sharp edges and decided to lie low. I stopped chasing after his schedule. I stopped forcing him to do all those mandatory couple things with me. About two weeks after I backed off, his friends threw James a party to celebrate. James completely lost it and yelled at them, "I told you that you guys don't need to meddle in. Happy now? She's already got another guy. She's done with me."
