Clashing Hearts (Now Available On Radish)

Chapter 3 Biological Family

Berry enters Rayer Mansion and reminisces about her time there with her mother.

Lexi is seen hitting the gym.

"48,49,50." she exclaims as she sits down from her workout stance.

"Pat your back, Lexi." she said softly, her breath heavy.

She smirked at herself in the mirror, loving her figure.

She kept herself in excellent shape and, like a professional Victoria's Secret model, has the physique of a Greek goddess.

"Hello hotness, you're killing it today." she told herself as she wiped her sweat off her face in the mirror.

While she was putting on her makeup, she dressed up in a designer strapless shirt with a short skirt and curled her waist-length hair.

Her phone starts ringing 

She sighed irritably and walked over to the bedside, where her phone was ringing.

"Who the hell is bothering me while I'm doing my make-up?" She checked her phone and her body stiffened; she swallowed but did not answer it.

Flashback

Lexi repaid the favor by faking to be the real Kristi in front of Berry's family after Berry rescued her from the abduction group.

However, when it is revealed that she is not the actual Kristi, Bethany, and Rayon, Berry's parents, are very kind-hearted people, as they did not force Lexi out even after learning that she deceived to them by claiming to be their biological daughter, Kristi.

Despite the fact that Lexi was the one who tormented and accidentally pushed Berry from the mountain's precipice when Berry's family discovered the reality that Lexi was not their Kristi and Berry attempted to convince them that she was, they refused to believe her. Berry and Lexi were also sent to residential school.

When Berry and Lexi got into an argument on the way to boarding school, Lexi pushed a berry down the mountain hill.

Then Nathan found Berry and adopted her as his daughter after losing his wife and daughter in an accident, and he was about to jump into the river water in an attempt to commit suicide when he discovered unconscious Berry in the river water, as Lexi had mistakenly pushed him here from the mountain slope, which ended up in the river.

Berry's mother died soon after her father left the Rayer mansion, and her grandfather died soon after, leaving Berry's grandma alone with Lilith, her husband, and their two kids, Ashton and Ned. As she was just 10 years old at the time, Lexi stayed with them.

But, after tumbling over the cliff, Beery loses her memories, so Nathan brings her to his mansion, where he lives with his mother.

He adopted Berry at his mother's suggestion, as she conflates the absence of his late daughter, and it was only after the arrival of Berry that he and his mother began to move on from the death of his wife and daughter.

Berry's memory returns after a month, but she suffers a major setback when her mother Bethany passes away, leaving her and the Rayer family in a state of mourning. Berry moved to London with her foster father since Nathan knows that no one in the Rayer family likes her except her biological mother Bethany, and since she is no longer alive, Berry has no reason to stay at the Rayer estate with the Rayer family.
