Clover's life changes completely when she's only 13 years old. She lived with her father most her life until hedied in a terrible car accident. That was when her mother showed back up after so many years. Forced to take in her daughter, Clara brings her to her home with her new husband. Clara left Ryan and Clover to marry rich. Clover never knew why her mother left, but she always thought it was because she fell in love and didn't know how to be around her or her father anymore. She was seriously mistaken. Clara didn't love Declan; she loved his money. They had a cold and strained relationship. Clara was worried her daughter would make it worse, so she promised Declan that Clover would help the family in any way she could. Declan didn't show much care. He had an empire to run and a son of his own to deal with. So, Clover stayed in the background at first. She did what she was told and never made a fuss. She was submissive by nature. Clara forced Clover to get the best education possible. She took her to etiquette lessons, had her learn three other languages, and forced her to learn to play the piano. All Clover ever wanted to do was paint though. Clara saw Clover's art as a pointless hobby though. Throughout the next five years, Clover learned a lot. She learned quickly that nobody truly cared about her. Her mother only wanted to turn her into the perfect socialite daughter. Her step-father couldn't even be bothered to remember a single thing about her. And her stepbrother was practically a ghost. Always talked about but never seen. Along with all this new knowledge came great pain as well. Clover was always a sensitive kid. To Clara, that was a flaw. They treated Clover coldly, and fighting back only got her locked in dark rooms, starved, and sometimes even beaten. Clover knew that no one was going to save her though. The only person that ever cared about her was dead. Clover thought if she just waited until she was 18, she'd finally be free. She worked hard to save money and applied for several colleges. Clara was very strict though and monitored her daughter thoroughly. So, when Clover got accepted to her dream school under an art program, Clara immediately shut it down. She destroyed all of Clovers art supplies and every piece of art she ever made. Then she took the very last thing her father left for her - a necklace that she wore every day. After that, she was locked in a storage room for a full week. Clover understood then how stupid she had been. Clara never planned to let her go now. Her life was not her own and Clara made sure she had no one to run to. In the end, Clover was more alone than she'd ever felt before. And so, Clover went to the college that Clara selected for her, under the major that Clara suggested. She kept her head down and followed every rule in the hopes that Clara would return the last item that meant anything to her. Two years later, Clara finally relented. She called Clover down for dinner and returned the necklace. Clover was suspicious, especially with having Declan there. Then, Clara surprised her further by telling her she would allow Clover to switch her major over to art. When Clover started to question them about it, Declan finally told her the catch. Clover could have her freedom if she moved in with her stepbrother and his teammates and reported everything to his father. She knew that Declan and his son Truce didn't get along well. She also knew that Truce despised Clara and probably felt the same way about Clover. Declan was insistent that he just wanted to make sure his son was okay. He wanted to know if this hockey career was going to get him far. What he really wanted was for Truce to take over the company and live the life Declan had wanted. It was then that Clover realized that she and Truce were the same. Both stuck in lives their parents wanted. Only, Truce was able to get out and Clover was stuck in this misery all alone. So, she did what any good person would do. She said no. This enraged Declan and Clara to the point that Declan threatened to kick them out and divorce her mother. He told Clover that without him, they would have nothing. When she still refused, the two parents had her beaten with a cane and thrown into a storage room. Eventually, Declan realized that brutal force wasn't going to work. He tried a different approach. One that worked. Sort of. She knew to be careful, but wanted this freedown. However, Truce and his friends were not happy to see her. They thoughtshe was just like her mother. They bullied her until finally realizing that she could be the one thing they'd spent the last year looking for. As soon as the five ofthem started to fall for each other, one of them overheard and misunderstood a conversation Clover had with Declan. That one misunderstanding would cost them six years without her. Now that they've found her again, they'll never let her go. No matter what it takes.
