Midnight at half-past one, the sky looked especially gloomy and dark. Grey clouds enveloped the sky making the environment look mysterious.

Though it was dark and only a few people dared to walk outside freely in this gloomy night, it was assumed that most of them were robbers, murderers, kidnappers and other dark agents who were in search of their prey.

One could see the black and white police cars making rounds in their vicinities, trying to safeguard the public from these lurking worms.

In short, the outside world was a mess. In this messy world, under the gloomy sky, a young girl frowned deeply with her eyes closed. On the highest building, inside an apartment, a young girl who looked like a celestial beauty was lying on the white bed soft bed. If not because of the deep frown on her forehead, she could be mistaken for a sleeping doll.

Cold sweat trickled down her forehead until her sweaty neck. Seemingly having a nightmare, the young girls' eyebrows was creased into a line and her neck looked stiff. The soft and fair fingers which looked fragile were looking pale as she held onto the comforter tightly. As time passed, the more uncomfortable she felt until she could no longer take it, with a yell she woke up from her head, panting heavily.

It took her a few minutes to finally regain her sense. Picking the water bottle from the bedside table, she gulped a few mouthfuls of water to calm her racing heart. Finally when her heart settle did the girl realize that she was having a nightmare. Running her fingers through her hair, she looked at the bedside table to look at the time. Seeing that it was still two in the morning, the young girl decided to sleep for a while.

This time, she no longer dreamed anything bad and had a peaceful night.

The Next day early morning,

Forcing herself to wake up, the young girl walked towards the balcony from where she could almost see the whole city. Stretching her arms lazily, she looked down at the busy street and said "Good morning busy people"

Breathing in the morning air she sighed and made her way inside to wash up. When the time was almost half-past nine, she walked out of her room dragging her suitcase behind. Before walking out of the room, the young lady turned around to look at the home one last time. Running her eyes one round throughout the house she smiled and said "My little home, thank you for providing me the warmth for twelve long years. Now, it's time for us to bid our farewellGoodbye my little house"

With that said, she turned back and walked out of the house, no longer looking back at the nest in which she had lived for so long.

When it half-past ten, she arrived at the airport after traveling for a whole hour. Paying her fare to the taxi, she walked inside holding her passport in her hands. After checking in, she still had a few more minutes left before getting on the plane.

Sitting on the VIP lounge, she looked at the photo in hand and a gentle smile appeared on her face. Caressing the photo with her fingers, she said firmly "My loved ones, I'll soon be there. This time, I will not run away.Whatever happens, I'm going to face it bravely"

Just then an attendee walked inside and called the young woman "Ms. Sia Raothe plane is ready to board!"

In the eastern part of City A in country H, a traditional family who had a history of more than a hundred years resided in a beautiful mansion that was more than fifty years old.

Rao family, one of the most powerful and wealthiest families of country H. In-country H, the power and position of the families were divided into five levels. At the top were the two most powerful families which were the Rao family and the Mu family who had a hundred years of history. Below the top family were the six great families who belonged to military, business, politics and entertainment circles and had years of family history. Below the six family was the twelve powerful families who belonged to the same field as the six great families but did not have a family history. At the bottom two-level were the second generation and rich people with their own companies and connections and who had developed in past decades.

The Rao mansion, unlike usual days, it looked very active. One could see servants and maids running around the mansion in a hurry. The old master, Michael Rao was holding a communicator in his hands and was ordering the servants to clean up the garden, the pool, and the front yard hurriedly. Standing behind Old Master Rao was the old butler holding an umbrella to protect the old paster from hot sun. Looking at the old master who looked especially active and commanding, the old butler sighed deeply.

Inside the mansion, just like an old master, the master, as well as the young master, were ordering maids and servants to hurry up with their work. While the master of the family dealt with the living room and other areas, the young master was mainly responsible to take care of things in the kitchen. Holding a long list in his hand, the young master Jane Rao listed out all the favorite dishes that his baby sister liked and rushed the chiefs to prepare it as soon as possible. On the second floor, in the eastern wing, the madam of the Rao family Elina Rao was busy arranging her daughter's room. Unlike other girls who liked princes styled room which was covered in pink, Sia Rao liked the room to be white, which represented innocence, purity, and perfection.

When it was almost three in the afternoon, all the members of the Rao family rushed out to the entrance and stood in front of the house with all the servants and maids standing in a row at either side. Not long after, a Maybach entered the estate from the gates. Looking at the approaching car, all the members of the Rao family looked very excited.

The Maybach half circled the man-made fountain and stopped right in front of the entrance, where two rows of maids and servants stood at each side with their heads down. As soon as the car stopped, the driver hurriedly got out of the car and walked to the back and opened the door respectfully to let the person inside get down from the car.

As soon as Sia got down from the car, she looked at her family with a smiled and called out "Grandpa, mom, Dad, brother"

Laughing, the old master stepped forward called "Hahaoh my baby, grandpa missed you so much. Come come, give a hug for your grandpa" Old master Rao said happily.

Smiling, Sia walked towards her grandpa and gave him a big hug. Patting her back, Old master pulled himself away from his granddaughter and looked at her carefully before exclaiming "hmmm, you have grown taller than the previous time"

Seeing that his father showed no sign of letting go of his daughter, Mr. Rao looked displeased and said "Father, if you're done then can you let me hug my baby?" not waiting for his father to speak, Mr. Rao looked at his daughter with a twinkling eyes and said, "Sweetheart, won't you give your father a hug?"

Smiling, Sia let go of her grandfather and ran to her father to give him a fatherly hug. Looking that his little granddaughter was snatched away by his son, Old mater Roa looked displeased.

While old master Rao was still sulking, Sean Rao looked at his father and made a face, making the old master further displeased.

Jealous of his son, the old master did not want his son to have all the pleasure to himself. With a cunning smile on his face he said "Baby, don't you want to hug your brother? Look how he is sulking at the side?"

Immediately after the old master said that Sia abandoned her father and went to her brother to hug him. Looking at his son who was sulking to himself, old master laughed silently and made a face that his son made earlier. Looking at the father and son's childish act, old butler and Mrs. Rao laughed to themself. Walking towards her daughter, Mrs. Rao looked at her daughter with a gentle smile and called out "Sweetheart, if you are done with your brother then how about giving your mother a baby hug?"

"Mom" Sia called and hugged her mother.

Patting her back, Mrs. Rao moved back and kissed her daughters face. Looking at her grown-up face, she could not help but comment "Oh my, my daughter has become much more beautiful now"

Smirking, Sia replied back with a cupid arrow "What to do since my mother is soo beautiful. I got it all from her"

Laughing, Mrs. Rao berated "This childyou're at it again"

Seeing that the father and son were about to gave a silent war, Mrs. Rao sighed helplessly and said "Enough glaring. After traveling for so long Sia must be tired. We are going in, you both can come in whenever you want"

Before heading inside Mrs. Rao did not forget to remind Old master Rao "Father, get inside soon. Standing under afternoon hot sun for long is not good for your health"

With that said, Mrs. Rao did not say much but led Sia inside the mansion.

*DON'T FORGET TO LIKE AND COMMENT ☺️*

After sending her daughter back to her room, Mrs. Rao went back downstairs only to find the father and son arguing once again. Sighing, already used to their childish behavior Mrs. Rao did not make any comment but just ignored them and made her way to the kitchen.

When it was almost half-past seven, the maid who was specially assigned to look after Sia went upstairs to inform Sia that the dinner was ready.

When Sia reached the dining hall, her eyes almost popped out looking at the table full of her favorite dishes at the same time, her little tummy also started to growl in hunger. Not waiting any longer, she went to the table where here family members were already waiting for her. Sitting in her designated seat, she looked at the little banquet and grinned widely. Well aware of who had prepared the little banquet, Sia looked up at her brother and said gratefully "Oh brotherthank you soo muchI love you"

Being praised by his baby sister, Jane Rao could not stop grinning at all and looked proudly at his father. After fighting with the old master, Sean Rao was already displeased but now looking at the proud smile on his son's face he felt even more displeased and almost lost his apetite. If not because of his daughter, he would have already started a rampage.

Throughout the dinner, instead of eating their plates the four people only concentrated on Sia and kept filling her bowl, urging her to eat a little more. Even though Sia did not have much appetite, she still ate a lot because of her family. It was not until she could not eat anymore did the four people at the dining table finally stopped filling her bowl and concentrated on their plates.

After having her dinner, Sia walked to the living room and crashed on the sofa with a tired look. rubbing her tummy which was filled to the brim, she sighed in satisfaction.

Afraid of indigestion, just when Sia thought to take a short walk in her garden, her father and grandfather rushed to her followed by two maids who were carrying a few things in their hand. Sitting at the either side, the father and son pair were almost competing with each other to impress their little one.

Looking at the gifts that her grandfather and father gifted her, Sia felt her lips twitch. Because of her grandfathers and fathers love towards her, she had acc.u.mulated properties worth of several millions, which even her brother did not have. Her car garage which was specially built for her had all kinds of limited edition cars parked inside. Because she rarely went out, she had not used any car more than twice.

Back to the present, sitting at the either side, the father and son were busy arguing on who would take their little princes outside without even asking Sia's opinion

"Baby, tomorrow is Sunday. Would you like to accompany father to golf course?"

"Baby, don't listen to your father. It's been a long time, play chess with me"

Displeased, Sean Rao continued to pester "No, father I already told you. I'm going to take my daughter to play golf with meshe is not going to play that boring game with you"

Before Old master Rao could retort, Jane Rao walked in and said "Sia is not going anywhere, she is coming with me tomorrow. You old people don't know anything about the current generation"

Speechless, it took a while for the old master and master to speak. "No," both of them said at a time.

"Huh? Why?" Jane Rao asked curiously

"Hmph.what if you bring your idiotic friend and what if they fall for your sister? No way am I going to let my daughter go with you"

"Uhh" before Jane Rao could speak, Old master Rao said unhurriedly

"Even if you are bringing girls you're not allowed to take her!"

"Why?"

"What if they fall for my granddaughter? Your mother is an example for that"

"Father.." Sean Rao called out with a pout

Looking at his son from the corner of his eyes, Old master Rao scoffed "What, ain't I telling the truth? Your wife blushes more for your daughter's sweet words than yours. Be happy she's your daughter or else she would have ran away with your wife a long back"

"Father" before Sean Rao could speak, he was once again interrupted.

"Okay, enough you both" Mrs. Rao said as she walked towards Sia holding a plate of chocolate cake. Looking at the delicious cake, Sia's eyes once again sparkled brightly. Taking the plate full of cake from her mother, Sia started to munch on it happily.

Patting her daughter's head slightly, Mrs. Rao sat on the opposite side of the sofa and said "Enough of the childish act. It is time to speak about something serious"

"Serious? What is it, mom?" Sia finally opened her mouth to ask after being quiet for so long.

"It's about your late grandmother's promise"

Hearing that it was about her grandmother, Sia's interest picked up and she looked at her mother curiously while the others hurriedly said "No"

Glaring at the three-generation, Elina Rao warned "Don't interrupt me"

"No..Elina, there is no need to talk about this so-called promise. I'm not agreeing with it no matter what" Old Master Rao said in displeasure.

Not at all offended, Mrs. Rao explained patiently "Father don't forget that it's mothers last wish. It is only right for us to full fill it. I'm just informing her in advance"

Listening to Mrs. Rao's reminder, old master Rao no longer said anything but it was Jane Rao who spoke "But mom Sia is still young"

"Jane, don't forget that we have only one year left in hand"

After hearing to Mrs. Ran, Sean Rao couldn't help but ask "Dear that's fine but don't we still have a year in our hand"

"Dear, rather than telling this a day before why not tell it now so that Sia can prepare herself?"

After Hearing Mrs. Rao's explanation, everyone accepted that it was only right for her to speak about it now.

"Mom, what's the matter? Why do you guys look soo serious? What was promised that Grandpa made before she passed?"

"Well. do you remember Old lady Mu?"

"Hmm..yeah, isn't she grandma's old friend?"

"Yeah, it's her. Before your grandma passed away she promised something to Old lady Mu"

"Oh..what was that?"

"To Marry you off with old lady Mo's grandson, Mu Jun"
