Rhianne did not dwell much on the reality that she had met with the female lead. She remembered that Candice Dy was an orphan and adopted by a kind couple. After some years, she will meet the male lead and that will be the start of their romance. But Rhianne did not expect that Candice was an orphan from the Welfare Agency that her mother is managing.
After that day, Rhianne focused on learning again. Before the school year officially starts, she started reading the books available in their library. Her family was surprised when they her often staying in the library, but they did not say anything about it. Before her accident, Rhianne disliked reading books a lot. But looking at Rhianne who became interested in reading books, her family silently supported her.
One day, a maid informed them that they have a sudden visitors. Rhianne was scared that Andrew is the one visiting their house. But when the maid explained that their sudden visitors were Dr. Calvin and his brother, she let out a relieved sigh. When Rhianne goes down to the receiving room, Dr. Calvin was nowhere to be found, but his brother was sitting on the sofa alone and looked in her direction.
"...Hello."
Rhianne will be rude if she ignored him and decided to greet him. The boy looked at her and crossed his arm on his chest. Rhianne noticed that his eyes were now both hazel brown. She was pretty sure that the boy has an emerald color on his left eye.
"Are you wearing a contact lens?" Rhianne asked.
It was too late when she realized what she had just asked him. Rhianne was sure that the boy is very conscious of his eyes. She was about to say sorry when the boy nodded his head.
"It would be a hassle if other people keep on looking at me."
Rhianne blinked her eyes in surprise but still nodded her head in understanding.
"I heard you have amnesia."
"Ah?"
Rhianne wondered why this boy was trying to make a conversation with her. She thought that the boy hated her, but it does not look like that. Rhianne nodded her head again to confirm what he had just said.
"No wonder you act so weird when we met again at my house."
Rhianne did not say anything to refute his words. How can she act normal in front of him if she does not know what was happening in her surroundings? She does not have any recollection of Rhianne Cartel's previous memories. And besides, she is too busy to adapt herself to this world.
"Follow me." The boy said and started walking without waiting for her answer.
'This is my house, you know? Why are you acting as if you are the owner of this place?'
Even though she was complaining, Rhianne still followed the boy until they reach the garden. Rhianne was confused about why the boy has brought him here. The boy pointed his finger on the roses and looked at her.
"Is it beautiful?"
"Of course."
"Then you know that you should keep yourself away from these plants?" He asked again. "Right?"
"...No?"
"Do you still want to live in peace?" The boy questioned her with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
Of course, she still wants to live. But Rhianne did not know what the boy was trying to say to her. The flowers in their garden are beautiful and their gardener takes care of them every day. But because Rhianne was too busy with her new life, she did not have any chance to admire the flowers up-close. She will only look at them through the balcony in her room.
"You are allergic to pollen." The boy said. "Your skin will become red and itchy after having contact with flowers that has a high amount of pollen."
Rhianne frowned at this new information. She does not really know that Rhianne Cartel is allergic to pollen. Her family also did not tell her anything about it. Maybe it just slipped on their mind because her recovery from the pool accident and her amnesia were much more important than her allergies. But something was amiss with this situation.
"How did you know that I am allergic to pollen?"
The boy pursed his lips and did not say anything. How can he forget about this information? When he first learned about her condition, it was already late. He remembered when it caused a huge commotion in their house.
During that time, Rhianne and her family visited their house after receiving the invitation from their family for dinner in their house. The reason for it was they wanted to celebrate Calvin's achievement. He finally got his license to become an official doctor.
Rhianne was only eight years old at that time. He remembered that he thought that she was a living doll and tried to be friends with her. He was actually scared that Rhianne might reject him because of his eyes. But he became happy when Rhianne accepted him as a friend and did not mind his eyes. As a celebration of their friendship, he thought of giving her a gift.
After racking his brain to think about what kind of gift he should give to her, he suddenly thought of their garden. He remembered that a lot of flowers were planted in their garden and all of them are beautiful. He thought that flowers were suited to Rhianne because she is also pretty. So he quickly visited their garden and asked a maid to help him picked a lot of flowers.
When she received the bouquet from him, Rhianne smiled at him and said thank you in a very cute way. Rhianne hugged the bouquet and rubbed her face on the petals. But after a few minutes, Rhianne became fidgety on her seat and started scratching her arms and neck.
Her skin started to have small red spots on her white skin and she kept on sneezing. Her eyes became watery so Rhianne informed her mother that she felt itchy on her skin. She looked like someone tried to bully her with her pitiful appearance at that time. It was a good thing that Calvin was present at that time to check on Rhianne. That was when they learned that Rhianne has a pollen allergy.
After that incident, Rhianne rarely visited their house. He thought that maybe Rhianne does not want to become friends with him anymore. No one blamed him for it. But of course, he felt guilty because he was still the cause of it.
He was actually surprised when he first saw Rhianne visiting their house again after some years. But when he saw her looking at him as if she did not know him, he felt annoyed and mad. So to avoid her, he stayed in the garden thinking that it was the place that she would never dare to visit. But he was shocked when he saw Rhianne trying to touch the flowers in their garden.
Is she not afraid to have those red itchy spots on her skin again?Rhianne did not know what he was thinking right now. She had a frown on her pretty face while thinking about a lot of things. Apparently, Rhianne Cartel has been a spoiled lady pampered since birth. She never experienced any hardship in life because her money can solve everything. Not only that, but her body is also too delicate!Aside from her new discovery that Rhianne Cartel is destined not to receive any flowers in this life, she also knew that her body is weak. This is too different from her past life. Due to the environment of their old place, Rhianne grew to be tough. She did not get sick easily and can still work even though she has a cold or fever.'No wonder that the whole family is very concerned with me. This body is too fragile!'Seeing that Rhianne was lost in her own world, he snapped his fingers twice in front of her face. Rhianne blinked her eyes and blankly looked at the boy. Sh
"What are you all doing here?"When Rhianne heard her brother's voice, she happily escaped from Calvin's hands and ran towards her brother. She quickly hid behind his back with her arms hugging his waist. Francis looked at his sister before turning his head to observe their visitors. He made a quick conclusion about the situation."Are you visiting us just to disturb Rhianne?" "Yes.""No."The Lancester brothers both answered his question. Just like what he thought! At first, Francis was confused about why did Calvin with his brother visited their house. Calvin mentioned that he needed to look at their college pictures which were very suspicious from the start. If Calvin really wanted to see it, he can just visit the official webpage of their school and look in the photo gallery on it. Keith really wanted to punch his brother in his face for making things worse. Calvin knows that Francis is always suspicious of him because he really thought that he is always bullying Rhianne. It all
After that day, there were no important events that happened in the past few days. Rhianne's daily routine was still the same. Except that she's always on her phone and exchanged text messages with the male lead. That day, Keith gave his phone number to Rhianne before leaving their house.Keith does not want to lose contact with Rhianne after being friends with her again. He had an idea to visit her regularly, but remembering her brother's existence, Keith thought that it was a bad idea. So he just gave his contact details to Rhianne and told her to text him as soon as she can.Rhianne has an unused phone in her drawer, but she never tried to open it because she was not familiar with the list of people listed in the phonebook. When Rhianne casually asked her mother if it was possible for her to buy a new phone, her mother automatically agreed. So the very next day, Carmie handed the brand new phone to Rhianne. After setting up her new phon
Today is Rhianne's first day at school and Carmie personally drove the car for her. Francis left the house earlier without her because he still needs to guide his club members and prepare the registrations of the students who are interested in their club. Carmie kept on reminding her that if something is wrong, she would never hesitate to call her or Francis. Rhianne just simply nodded her head to show her mother that she understands.After getting out of the car, Rhianne scanned the whole school with her eyes. Of course, the school of rich people is different from public schools. Daltine University is famous for its high level of teaching together with its expensive tuition fee. In short, this school was built only for rich people.Rhianne reassured her mother for the last time before kissing her cheeks and waved her hands to say goodbye. According to the schedule list on her hand, Rhianne's classroom will be on the third floor. As she th
There was only one sentence playing in Rhianne's head.The devil has finally come to get her!She can't understand it. Why was Andrew here? And he was also her classmate! Did it really happen in the novel? Did the book mentioned that they were also classmates before?Thinking about it, that may be possible. Maybe because of it, Rhianne Cartel harbored more feelings for Andrew since they were classmates. Andrew can have a lot of time to show and manipulate the poor girl's feelings. That is so sly and evil!Andrew stared at the girl who was the reason why he was here. Since he was already here, Andrew planned to be friends with her. He will try to deepen their friendship with each other.And then after that...Andrew looked at Rhianne for the last time. It was still early to do all of these things. It will be much better if he will try to slow his pace so Rhianne will no
And just like that, three months had quickly passed. During these months, some things had happened. First, Andrew was approaching Rhianne whenever he found a chance. At first, Rhianne thought that he was just being polite so she did not give much thought to it.Every day, Andrew will greet Rhianne with a charming smile on his face. It was to test how Rhianne will react to their interaction. Rhianne can't really be suspicious of him since Andrew had also greeted their other classmates. Because of it, she will also greet him back with a nervous smile.When Andrew made sure that Rhianne is not really hostile towards him, he slowly started trying to make small talks with her. This made Rhianne so uncomfortable. So when she sensed Andrew's presence from far away, she will immediately hide behind Keith's tall figure.Second, Keith acted like a big dog while guarding Rhianne against Andrew. At first, Keith was confused about Rhia
After a very tiring day, it was now time for them to go home. Rhianne needs to meet with Calvin today and Francis can't accompany her because he still has to finish his research papers, so Keith decided to give Rhianne a ride. While waiting for Keith in the car park, Rhianne gave her mother a call to inform her that she will visit Keith's house to meet with Calvin and do their homework."You think you are that great just because you are Lancester?!"When she followed where the voices were coming, Rhianne saw Keith being surrounded by seven boys from their class. Rhianne quickly hid and eavesdropped on their conversation."What are you talking about?" Keith asked."Stop pretending! You always act cool to gather the attention of others. Don't think that we did not know that you are just a freak!" A chubby boy said."That's right!" A tall and skinny boy added. "Why are you wearing a contact l
Rhianne can feel the stinging pain in her knees, but she ignored it, remembering that Keith has more wounds and bruises than her. Compared to his injuries, her own wounds were nothing. When they arrived at the school clinic, the doctor in-charge looked at both of them before approaching Rhianne to tell her to sit on the sofa for a while. Rhianne said that she can treat her own wounds and insisted that the doctor should focus on treating Keith's wounds instead. The doctor looked at Keith for the first time before she started treating his wounds. Keith had red bruises on his arms and back. His lips were bleeding and has a lot of scratches on his arms. His once clean and white uniform was now tattered and dirty. The teacher who brought Rhianne and Keith informed them that they will call their parents to fetch them before leaving the clinic. Keith was hissing in pain and tried to complain whenever the doctor puts antiseptic on his wounds. The doctor didn't
"For our success, cheers!""Cheers!"Rhianne, together with Keith, Candice, Andrew, and their families, clink their glasses together and give themselves a toast. The soft clinking sounds of glasses can be heard inside the party hall they rented for tonight. Happiness is evident on their faces.Tonight, they are having a graduation party with their loved ones. Rhianne, Keith, and Candice had finally graduated from college with flying colors. As for Andrew, his graduation will be next week but they decided to celebrate its advance. It's because Andrew's professor at his university informed him that he's the one who got the highest mark in their class.Similar to him, the three other graduates tonight are also the students who got the highest grading mark in their courses. When Rhianne heard it for the first time, she can't help but shed a few happy tears. The Cartel family is naturally proud of their little princess. All of her hard work has paid off.It is also the same with the Lances

When Donna woke up, the things she saw in her dreams were still vivid in her head. Donna can remember even the smallest details from that dream. It was as if she experienced it herself. But of course, that would be impossible since Donna was only fifteen when she saw all of it.But her dreams led her to believe that all of them were true. It is because of Rhianne Cartel and Keith Lancester. Aside from the fact that she saw both of them in her dreams, Donna had also met them in her previous school. Although they act differently in reality, Donna knows they are still the same people in her dreams.But she frowned after remembering that this man named Andrew Gartin was not staying close to Rhianne Cartel. When she was still her classmate, Donna heard from the class that Andrew Gartin transferred to a school abroad. It was said he will be staying there until he graduates. That information alone made her feel more suspicious if her dreams are indeed prophetic or not. Donna remembered that
It is already dark and the lamps around the park are now giving light to their surroundings. The people who visited this place are starting to leave one by one. Still, there is a certain person who hasn't left the park yet. Donna remains in the same spot where Andrew left her earlier. Her eyes are unfocused and she looks lost right now. Donna ignores the soreness she feels on her legs and waist as her mind tries to replay the conversation she had with Andrew earlier.'Enough! Stop speaking nonsense to me!''I suggest that you should wake up now.''This is the reality.'Donna closes her eyes tightly and thinks about where did it go wrong. Or rather, when did it start? This is not what is supposed to happen. These things did not appear in her dreams.Yes, dreams. It may sound silly to others, but Donna completely believes in the things she saw in her dreams. Donna truly believes she can see the near future in her dreams. It is because of the people she met in it as well as the possible
Soon, Donna brings Andrew to a quiet place away from the park where the others are gathering. Andrew feels confused and skeptical about this woman but he did not yet voice out his thoughts. He decided to wait for what does she needs from him. Soon, Donna turns around and gives him a smile."I think this distance is enough for us to talk. No one can hear us from here." Andrew heard her say."Huh?"In an instant, Donna's expression changed. Although she is still smiling, but it is no longer polite and kind. Instead, she is looking at him with a confident smile on her lips."So Andrew, what were you planning to do now?" Donna asked."...What?" Andrew asked her late."Oh, please. Stop pretending, Andrew. I know that you can also remember everything.""..."Andrew gives Donna a weird look. Keith had already warned him about the woman yesterday. Keith told him that Donna looks suspicious and he doesn't want her approaching Rhianne a lot. He also shared with him the story of how Donna tried
"Please don't leave me...""Karl, I need to go.""Then what about me?! Are you going to leave me? Just like that?! Catherine, you know how much I love you.""But it's not enough!""...What?""It's not enough, Karl. Love is never enough in this world. You should know that.""Catherine, I can't understand. Why—""Is love enough to feed us in the future? Is it enough to make this world move on its axis? Is love enough to make all things better? Is it the only thing we need?!"Karl tries to open his mouth to speak but he doesn't know what to say. "You can't say anything, right? It's because you know that I have a point.""Catherine, I will—""Enough with your promises, Karl! I'm so tired of it." He looks at the woman in front of him. Karl wants to touch and hug her. He wants to tell Catherine that everything is gonna be alright. But he also knows that it is something that she didn't want right now. "Karl, you know that I love you so much. You should know how much I truly care for you.
"Andrew, you really surprised me! I did not expect that you would be back today.""That is my intention. And besides, I already told you that I'm going to have a vacation here in our city for a few weeks, right?""You should have told us your schedule so Keith and I can fetch you at the airport.""You are missing the point here, Rhianne. If I told you my flight schedule, then my surprise would be a total failure.""Hmm, alright. You win now.""That's more like it, Little Auntie Rhianne.""Hey!"Rhianne is really happy to see Andrew again. It has been a long time since they saw each other like this. Although they always communicate through video calls, emails, and voice calls, nothing can still beat seeing your friend up close like this. To her happiness, Rhianne can't help but give Andrew another hug."I really miss you, Andrew!" Rhianne said with a smile."Well, this is nice. I feel so welcome now." Andrew joked as he returned her hug. "And yes. I miss you too, Rhianne."After their
"Is it really okay?" "Hmm... I think so." "But what if that woman tries to sabotage your project?" "Then Donna is also sabotaging her own grades. We're groupmates, after all." "What if she put all of the blame on you? You are the group leader of your group, right?""I think she's not that bad. And besides, we have our own things to do for our project to become successful." Candice just looks at her friend who looks so carefree right now while eating her pizza. They are spending their time break together in the cafeteria. Keith will not be joining them today because he has a long examination today in one of his major subjects. While Candice is busy cleaning the tupperware where her mother put the food she brought for Rhianne, she mentioned that her class will be having a group project and it will be submitted by next week. Their group project can be called as easy to make. Their class was divided into five groups.
"Rhianne!" Turning around, Rhianne sees Keith rushing towards her. When he finally reached her, Keith suddenly put his hands on her shoulders and starts looking at her from head to toe. He even moves her body from side to side as if looking for something. Soon, Keith let out a relieved sigh before looking at Rhianne who has a confused look on her face."What is it?" Rhianne asked. "Did something happen?""Rhianne, are you alright?" Keith asked instead of answering her question."Yes. Why? Do I look like sick to you?" Instead of answering, Keith just let out another relieved sigh before he tries controlling his breathing. "Are you done tossing and spinning Rhianne like a life-sized doll?"Both Rhianne and Keith look at Candice who is standing beside them with crossed arms. Candice shakes her head before gently pulling Rhianne towards her. She is now thinking that it was wrong of her to send a text message
