27 parts Ongoing Chris had it all: charm, power, money-and the world exactly where he wanted it. At his feet.
A wealthy playboy who treated responsibility like a disease, he'd perfected the art of avoidance. Until his father issued an ultimatum: marry the woman chosen for him, or face the consequences.
Chris's answer was simple. He walked away from everything-his family, his name, his gilded cage.
Marriage meant chains. One woman, forever? The thought alone made his chest tighten. He'd built his entire life around freedom-to have any woman he wanted-and he wasn't about to surrender it now.
So he ran.
But fate, it seemed, had a crueler sense of humor. Because every mile he put between himself and that arranged marriage, every desperate attempt to escape his destiny, only dragged him closer to the one woman he swore he'd never meet.
