I Left, He Chased

Synopsis

"Mom, I agree to reclaim my identity as the heiress—and I'll go through with the arranged marriage." The moment Carissa Copeland spoke those words, her mother Veronica broke down in tears on the other end of the line. Meanwhile, on live TV, Carissa's boyfriend—ex-boyfriend now—Kelvin Erickson was sharing a chocolate bar with rising starlet Linda Cochran. One push from the host, and the two kissed under the spotlight. The livestream exploded, "OMG, they're so real! We got our queen!" Carissa's heart shattered. Silent, she turned off the screen. When Kelvin publicly confessed his love to Linda at his concert, Carissa was already miles above it all, on a private jet to Edodonville—leaving that world, and him, behind. By the time Kelvin realized she was gone, the house was empty. Panic took hold. "Carissa, I was wrong. Please come back." But standing beside Carissa now was a tall, striking man who coolly blocked Kelvin's path and raised the diamond ring in his hand. "I believe my wife has made herself very clear. Whatever you two had is over. Begging like this? It's beneath you."
