Chapter 1
The sky seemed draped in a layer of black cloth, devoid of any light, pressing down with an oppressive darkness that made it hard to
breathe
In September, Cedarvale had been suffocating for nearly half a month before welcoming its first storm.
The young girl was in a bitched state, kneeling on the ground, her body soaked by the rain and on the verge of collapsing. The man stood in front of het staring at her through the thick curtain of rain, his eyes filled with desolation and disappointment.
Flora, you could even push someone down the stairs! You don’t like him, but it doesn’t mean you can treat him like this! Get on your knees right here and think about what you’ve done!”
“Dad, my sister is still young Please calm down. Il go and explains to the Stonnells.
It was the voices of her father and brother….
Flora struggled to open her heavy eyelids, and through the thick rain, she could barely make out the two blurry figures
So, what they say about seeing illusions before you die is true.
It had been three years since her father and brother passed away, and this was the first time Flora had seen them in her dreams.
She knew they hated het, hated her for ruining the Irving family, so much so that they wouldn’t even appear in her dreams
And then there was Connor, the man who loved her to his very bones…
The rain was heavy, like stones crashing down, and Flora desperately wanted to say something to her father and brother, but she had no strength left not even a little.
Her body gave way, and the world turned dark once more
When Flora woke up, her eyes were met with the glaring brightness of an incandescent light, and her mind was momentarily blank
Hadn’t Carina and Aaron locked her in a warehouse to die in a fire?
Where was this?
Flora struggled to move her eyes, taking in her surroundings.
Everything was familiar, frightening her so much that she sat up abruptly from the bed. The sudden movement made her dizzy, and she nearly passed out again.
Wasn’t this her old room?
But hadn’t the Irving family home been sealed off a year ago?!
The pain in her body reminded her that this wasn’t a dream, and a ludicrous thought froze her blood.
Could it be…she had been rebom? What about her dad? Her brother? And Connor?
Flora was frantic, with countless questions swirling in her mind. She abruptly threw off the covers, goat out of bed, and opened the door
to leave
She had barely reached the staircase Haven’t you knelt enough?”
when a stern voice rang out. “Where do you think you’re going? Planning to cause more trouble?
Floras heart and steps halted. This familiar voice stirred a wave of shock in her heart, and she turned around abruptly. The man was in his forties, with a steady gait, approaching her now with an anger that seemed hard to quench Tears instantly filled Flora’s eyes, and they rolled down unchecked.
Raul was initially funous, but the sight of her crying softened his heart. Then he remembered how she pushed someone down the stairs and his tone hardened again. “You still have the nerve to cry? Go back to your room!”
Flora only saw his lips moving, barely hearing what he said. Her tears flowed even more fiercely, overwhelmed by the sight of her family slive after three years.
Raul panicked, wondering if he had indeed punished her too harshly
Still, the thought of what Flora had done angered him “Flora, I know you don’t like Conner, but what you did wea olmagros. How cou you push him down the stairs?!
Push Connor down the stairs?
Flora’s heart skipped a beat
She remembered
Originally, Connor had been obsessively pursuing her. She was annoyed and had listened to Carina’s suggestion to fake a suicide. attempt. When Connor tried to save her, she pushed him instead.
She had been rebom at that exact moment
“Now Connor is about to leave, and you won’t have to see each other again.”
Leave? Was Connor leaving?
That’s right. After being deeply hurt by het Connor had left Cedarvale in despair.
Their next meeting was after her father and brother’s death when he came to her, offering to take care of her.
Her heart was set on Aaron, so she naturally refused, and even humiliated him cruelly. He left heartbroken, and their last meeting was when she died in a fire.
No, he couldn’t leave!
Flora blurted out, “I have to bring him back!”
She had been given a second chance at life, a chance to start over with him, and she wouldn’t let Connor leave.
“Why would you chase after him if you don’t like him?” Raul’s anger flared again. “Don’t you dare cause more trouble!”
“Who said I don’t like him?” Flora replied impulsively.
Would someone who liked another push them down the stairs? Raul was convinced she was being reckless. If she went to Connor now, it would surely mean devising new ways to torment him.
“You stay in your room, and don’t leave without my permission Raul was enraged and coughed violently, his face turning red with C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Flora promptly fell silent, fearing she might truly anger him. She obediently returning to her room. But as soon as he left, she stealthily made her way to the Stonnell family house
