Akiro Montero is used to a life of prestige, politics, and unrelenting expectations. The youngest scion of the powerful Montero family, he's brilliant, disciplined, and secretly yearning for freedom from the world that seems to control him. Sent back from London to attend family events and obligations, he finds himself trapped in a glittering society he doesn't belong to... until he meets Samantha, his simple, kind-hearted kapitbahay. Samantha's world is quiet and unpretentious - baking muffins and cookies, helping neighbors, and surviving her own struggles. She has no idea the boy she casually meets carries a legacy heavier than anyone can imagine. And Akiro? He's both fascinated and unsettled by her authenticity, something he's never experienced in the cutthroat life of the Monteros. As family pressures, political expectations, and school demands weigh down on him, Akiro finds comfort - and a dangerous distraction - in Samantha's presence. But one week before returning to London, can he protect his heart without losing himself? And can Samantha navigate the complicated world of the Monteros without losing her own freedom? Chasing Paradise is a story of love, legacy, and the fragile balance between family duty and personal freedom. When two worlds collide, only one question remains: will their hearts survive the chaos, or will paradise remain just out of reach?
