DM #6: Chase Arellano

Chase Ryland Arellano was born into a family whose name carried power, influence, and a long history in politics. But behind their prestigious name was a wound that never healed-the disappearance of his youngest sister.

She was lost because of the world of politics, or at least, that was what Chase believed. No one knew where she was. No one knew what happened to her. And after years of searching without answers, Chase blamed the very world his family had devoted their lives to. So he made a promise to himself: he would never get involved in politics. Not even a little.

Instead, Chase walked away from his family's legacy, built his own name, and lived according to his own morals. He wanted a life untouched by political rivalries, family power, and secrets.

Until he crossed paths with her. The daughter of his family's greatest political opponent.

She was the one person Chase should have stayed away from. Loving her could mean stepping straight into the world he had spent years trying to escape.

But what happens when the woman who makes him question everything is the daughter of the man his family has spent years fighting against? And what if getting closer to her means uncovering secrets surrounding his sister's disappearance?

Chase made a promise never to involve himself in politics. But for her, will he break it? And for the sister he never stopped searching for, will he risk uncovering the truth-even if it destroys everything he believes about his family?

Some promises are meant to be kept. Others are meant to be broken.
