My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

How does it feel to see a colorless world every day? That's how Catherine felt through her eyes. She is a strong-willed 25-year-old girl who never shows her weakness to other people. She lost her ability to see color ever since being slapped by her father. Her soul was shaken. Her heart hated the beauty her father showed before her mother was gone. Catherine thought that her life would continue to be trapped in the black and white world until one day, someone came into her life to give her some colors. He is Vincent, a thirty-two-year man, the son of a wealthy family. His presence gradually colored Catherine's world. Time continues to flow; the lovebirds finally tied the rope of love but suddenly... Vincent avoids Catherine? What happened to him? Why did he go away from Catherine? Could it have something to do with Catherine's mother's death? Catherine, who is finding out the truth behind Vincent's attitude.... surprisingly, meets her twin brother, someone she never knew before! Moreover, her twin brother is the sole heir of one of the influential figures in this country. Was everything she knew a lie? Even her identity? Who is she really? Is it true that Vincent caused the death of her mother? Would the two lovebirds reunite after learning the truth? Or will the past grudges separate them? Expert: "I think white suits you best." The topic of color discussion was quite sensitive for Cathy, who cannot distinguish colors. But why did she feel calm when Vincent said it? "Why?" "Because only white could affect other colors while no color could affect it. For me, you are like that too." "I am?" "Hm. You never let other people influence you while you can easily influence others. You could make others happy, sad, or excited with you." "I'm not like that." "It's like that for me. Besides," he lowered his head to close the gap between them. "When you wear a white dress like this, you look mesmerizing like an angel descend to me."

Cathy's Dislike

The next morning, Anna was the first one to awake and strolled out of the room. In terms of who could wake up ahead, Anna was the winner. Both Cathy and the twins preferred to sleep longer on holidays.

Cathy and Anna would compete to get up early on an average day, and Cathy barely wins against her. Cathy was too exhausted from work overload while Anna could maintain her time between study, play around, and sleep.

Growing up under Cathy's attention, there was one thing Anna learned from her eldest sister's character.

Her sister never asked for help or complained about the problem. But she was always ready to help when her sisters need her the most. Not only that, she realized that her sister would always be by their side regardless of her own health.

If no one pays attention to her sister, then she will care about her sister. Every morning she would help out in the kitchen to prepare her sister's breakfast. She also prepared some meal boxes for Cathy and the twins.

Even though she only could do this little, she could at least help maintain the health of her dear sisters.

Initially, Cathy told her not to do unnecessary things. Regarding the work of preparing breakfast or lunch, she should have given the maid to do it.

In this particular case, Anna didn't listen to her sister. It's true; their maids could serve their lunch box. But there were times when they reduce their meat or vegetables. Therefore, she prepared it herself by providing meat, fish, and vegetables to match her sisters' nutritional intake.

In this case, Anna was the same as Cathy. She could not leave this important task to just anyone. To be precise, she did not feel right if it wasn't her who did it.

Since today was Sunday, they would go on a picnic outside; one of their routines each week.

With the help of the family maid, Anna finished packing the food into the lunchbox on time. She has also prepared breakfast on the dining table perfectly, as usual.

After making sure there was nothing wrong with their breakfast, Anna returned to the room to wake her sisters.

Exactly what she expected, her eldest sister already woken up and now taking a shower. So she laid back down beside one of the twins to close her eyes for a few minutes.

Not long after, Cathy walked into the room, rubbing her wet hair with a towel.

She smiled when she saw Anna back in bed. Cathy let the twins sleep a little longer and headed over to her dresser.

When her cellphone rang, Cathy immediately ran to pick up her phone. Despite accepted the call, Cathy still didn't speak. She walked out of the room slowly, not to wake the twins.

Knowing her sister's behavior, Anna smiled. Her eldest sister spoiled her younger siblings too much.

Once away from the room, then Cathy greeted the person on the other side.

"Cathy, why it's taking so long to talk. I think there's a problem with my signal."

"What's wrong?" asked Cathy, not wanting to mince words.

"Someone booked this place for a special event today. So it will be crowded again like yesterday. Well, maybe much busier than yesterday. Can you come today?"

"Today is Sunday."

"So?"

"Sorry I can not come."

"The manager also said that if you come today, he will pay double the salary."

"Did he say anything if I didn't come?"

"Eh? I don't think so."

"Very well. I still won't come."

"Ah?"

"Today I have a significant event as well. So please convey my apologies to the manager." without waiting for a response, Cathy promptly hung up on her phone.

She started to dislike working there. Not only did her manager begin to dare to press her working hours, but there were also several people conspiring to knock her down. Besides, the salary also not that quite good.

Sooner or later, she would face a problem that even she could not solve. No. To be honest, she has started to enter the danger zone. It was better for her to resign and apply for another job immediately.

She could have applied to a large company instead became a part-timer in a cheap restaurant. But she didn't want to be bound by a contract that required her to work by the rules.

She didn't want to be attached to anything in this world other than her siblings.

'Already have a boyfriend?'

'When you get married?'

'You are not young anymore. Better get married soon.'

Cathy had heard various kinds of sentences involving marriage very often to the point her ears burning. They told her she needed to work in a big company to lure some rich man or bosses.

Her life would be of more benefit if she could marry one of the directors. But she did not like the idea. It's not like she did not want to get married. Of course, she wants it. But she did not want to marry someone who could not love her family.

Her father forgot about his family, forgot about his daughters when her mother died. His uncle didn't seem to care much about his family and never showed up.

Her manager was the worst. That older man already had a wife but always find pleasure by molesting the female part-time workers.

Some of her colleagues at the restaurant did not have a good relationship with their family, either.

She wanted to find a man who wholeheartedly loves and treats a family well. If that man cannot love his family, how could he love her younger siblings?

She wanted to find a man she could count on. That man does not have to be rich, but at least be willing to sacrifice for the family's sake and will not take the pressure of work on the family.

The man must be able to hold back his emotions no matter how bad the problem was. Most importantly, he had to make her believe that she could give herself entirely to him.

But, such a perfect man could not possibly exist in this world. Because of that, she decided not to get married.

Cathy turned and walked back to her room through the corridor with several windows on her left.

At first glance, her eyes caught some lights outside the window. Intrigued by the origin of the light, Cathy stopped to take a closer look.

There she saw someone watering the plants with a water spray from a hose connected to a tap. At that moment, Cathy saw a rainbow in the water that came out of the spray.

Why? When she didn't want to see it, why did the rainbow appear before her? It was as if the rainbow knew her mood and had deliberately appeared to mock her.

Deep down, she already knew the reason why her mood got worse when she saw the rainbow; only she still didn't want to admit it.

Even when she was in an excellent mood and wanted to see the rainbow, she was unsure if her spirit remained unchanged.

Cathy turned her face, not wanting to see it any longer.

Today was the family time with her siblings. She didn't wish the joy between them to deteriorate just because of her dislike for rainbows.
