As Alex had remembered, she was indeed anemic when they met. Even until now, it was only thanks to Alex that she was able to become who she is now.
When she was young, his father didn't love her. She was born from his father's Mistress. Yes, ironic isn't it? Her mother was a slut. She slept with anyone who had money. At that time, her father doted on her mother. He gave her a house to live with and everything that was necessary for her to live in luxury.
Unfortunately, her father's company slowly went down when his wife discovered his hidden Mistress. His wife was the daughter of a rich politician. She divorced him and withdrew all her and her family's investment. She also took two of their kids away from him, along with their full custody. Causing her father's demise.
At that moment, her mother couldn't escape his fall too. The house that she was living and all her belongings were taken away as well. Unhappy with how it was going, she left him for a rich man. Francesca was left behind by her father. Because of all that happened to him, he blamed everything to Francesca's slut mother and his nasty daughter. He hated Francesca but she was the only blood relative that he had. He was an orphan and his kids from his ex-wife hate him.
Though he hated Francesca, he still took care of her. Though his company fell, he wasn't bankrupt. With this short amount of money, it lasted them enough to get through. He mostly lives in the company than go home to see his daughter. He left a nanny to her than take care of her.
Because of this lonely and unloved situation, Francesca grew cold-hearted and hateful. She vowed to prove to her father that she wasn't a useless child. Although she was sickly, she was smart and determined.
Meeting Alex was pure coincidence. He took pity on her because of her upbringing and decided to become her friend. He was always there to protect her and to keep her healthy. He donated his blood to her whenever he needs it. Even though his blood was rare, he was a very healthy man. He does donate some of his blood to his father's charity.
They had become friends for a year before Alex confessed his feelings for her. She got scared of changing their status. He was the campus crush and a billionaire's heir.
She was just the Gold-Digger's / Mistress' daughter. Her father hated her for what he became. She was extremely sick and nothing to brag about. She had a beautiful face but with a thin and bony body.
Francesca didn't have the confidence to stand beside him, but she fell in love with him because he was so kind to her. He was the first person who showed genuine kindness to her.
It made her heart flutter with dreams of them being together forever. Dreaming what-ifs and what will become of them. Alex pursued her for half a year, he was consistent and determine to make her say yes. He boosted her confidence by letting her know how wonderful she was.
With this, she slowly had the strength to fight for a place in this world. As she slowly grow, Alex stayed by her side. He became her support to lean on. They were each other's first love, first kiss, and first sex. They shared each other's first and they became in love much deeper.
It wasn't until they graduated that things started to change drastically. Due to her relations with the Hawthorne's, her father named her as his heir. He told her to keep a hold on Alex and to never let go of him. He feeds words to his daughter that made her became extremely angry with him. Especially when he said that, "Isn't that your mother's specialty? To hook with a man who is loaded with wealth? Hahaha."
This awaken the devil inside her. She hated her father. She wanted to crush him until he admits defeat. To do this, she started planning on how to take over her father's company. To make it grow big until he would see how much she was worthy. She studied her Masteral as soon as she graduated to start her plans.
