Fate never truly forgets. Anika Soraya Sinclair and Peter Alexander Harrington - once childhood friends, now strangers sharing a home due to their parents' arrangement. Anika, the ethereal rose, is a dreamer with quiet fire, a scholar far from home, caught between independence and family expectations. Peter, the golden knight, is a guarded med student, shaped by duty and years of solitude. What begins as a mere living arrangement soon blurs into something deeper. The golden knight finds warmth in the rose, and she, despite her strength, learns even roses need protection. But love is never simple-burdened by unspoken struggles and a past that refuses to stay buried, they must decide: will they bloom together, or will their thorns pull them apart?
