Superstar Returned, She Became His Regret

Carrie has been married to Kristopher for two years. She thought he cared. Then the old apartment building goes up in flames, and she calls him from inside the smoke. He hangs up. The firefighters drag her out, and the building explodes behind her. She opens her phone and sees the top trending headline: Lise, wearing Kristopher's suit jacket. He was with her.

She goes back to the villa, tells him they're getting a divorce, and he calls her crazy. Lise's name flashes on his phone, and he leaves without looking back. Carrie has the divorce papers couriered to his private party. A courier walks in and asks which one is Kristopher Norris, then hands over the envelope. The room goes silent.

Kristopher tries to cut off her money, but his assistant finds a card Carrie never used and a deposit of twenty million. Two years of marriage, he gave her two million. She gave him back twenty. Carrie returns to acting with her old agent Ruby. At the audition, the director says she's exactly the leading lady he pictured. Lise calls Kristopher, collapses, and he bursts in. He doubles the investment and demands the lead go to Lise. When the audition footage Carrie releases gets scrubbed from the internet, she knows Kristopher did it to protect Lise. She creates a new pen name and writes through the night.

Kristopher's assistant uncovers the full fire report. Burns, contusions, broken ribs, a leg wound deep enough to expose bone. At the hotel lobby, Carrie's family corners her for money. Kristopher shoves through, grabs her wrist, and says, "She is my wife for life. Anyone who touches her will pay." He takes her to the family mansion, where Melanie, the only Norris who treats her well, weeps when Carrie says she wants a divorce. That night, feverish in the rain, Carrie fights him, but he carries her home and holds on.

Carrie walks into Silver Media and meets Daxton Garcia, CEO and top-tier superstar. She places an old magazine on his desk. Ten years ago, they knew each other. He has been looking for her for ten years. The lead role is hers, with one condition: teach him to act.

Kristopher and Lise keep trying to crush her career. But Daxton lifts her back up. When Lise frames Carrie for plagiarism, Carrie stops hiding. She drops her secret identity as Katrina, A-list screenwriter, and wins. Kristopher finally confesses the truth: Lise has his dead sister's heart. Guilt has driven everything he did. He takes a bullet for Carrie, and they rebuild a family from ashes.
