The Destiny
One Roof

Ana follows Ray into the nearly three thousand square meter house. Right now, they were climbing the stairs towards the second floor.

Arriving at the end of the stairs, Ray turned to the right, then walked straight through several rooms, then turned again to the left, there were three doors of different colors.

"That's your room." Ray pointed at a white door.

Ana nods, not surprised when Ray indirectly says they will not sleep in the same room.

"The password is one one one one one, you can replace it as you please" said Ray.

Ana nodded back, though,

"Yes." Yeah."

"Remember one thing, never get into that brown door. It's my workroom, there's a lot of classified documents, if I see you go in there, I'll think of you as a spy and a traitor. Do you understand that?"

"Yes, I get it." Ana replied in her lazy tone.

"Rest, if you need anything, just call the butler."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Is there anything you want to ask?"

"No." Answer Ana.

Ray sighed then turned towards the door of his room, his hand moved to enter the password, he opened the door and entered inside, before Ray closed the door back, he saw Ana at a glance.

"Don't make trouble in my house." Ray then closed the door to his room.

Ana who saw the door of Ray's room closed instantly exhaled her relieved breath. At first glance the girl looks like she wants to kick the door of Ray's room, before finally she also goes into her own room.

Inside her room, Ana unpacks her suitcase and arranges all her belongings.

After finishing arranging the room as she wished, Ana let out her breath,

"Ah finally finished too." Ana sat in her bed, she saw the clock on the wall of the room, one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Bored." Ana Mumbled.

The girl finally chose to walk out of her room.

Ana came down the stairs slowly, when she reached the bottom floor, a middle-aged woman bowed respectfully to her.

"Good afternoon Miss Ana, is there anything you need?" Say it in a polite tone.

"Nothing, I just feel bored and want to go around the yard. Are you a worker here?" Ask Ana.

"Ah yes, introduce me to the butler here. My name is Miku Hatsune."

"My?"

"Yes, miss."

"Ah then, nice to know you're Miku's butler." Ana said with a friendly smile to the middle-aged woman.

"Do you want me to accompany you around the yard? I'll show you the garden and the artificial lotus lake at the back of the house."

"Is there anything like that in this house?"

"Of course, miss."

"Can you just show me the direction?"

"Well ladies, please walk straight there, then if there is a painting of a tree garden, turn to the right, after that it is straight a few meters, if the lady sees there is a glass door with a curtain of flowers, then, that's the door to the garden and the artificial lotus lake. Does Miss Ana understand?"

Ana tries to understand Chief Maid Miku's explanation to her memory, she tries to remember it well.

"Ah yes, thank you."

After which, Ana walked following the directions of Miku's butler. Straight, painting the tree, and turn right, then straight a few meters, ah that's her door — Inner Ana.

Arriving in front of the door that the butler was referring to earlier, Ana immediately opened the door. When the door opened, it looked a very soothing sight to the eyes, so shady and calm.

Ana stepped on the grass in the backyard, inhaling the scent of fresh air with a smile.

However, when she wanted to get closer to the artificial lake, Ana saw the figure of a middle-aged woman sitting in the gazebo near the lake, it was Ray's stepmother.

Realizing Ana's whereabouts, the middle-aged woman smiled kindly at her, then her hands waved, gesturing for Ana to approach.

Ana turned her head back, right and left, ascertaining what was right she was told to approach.

Seeing no one but her, Ana walks closer to the gazebo, smiling awkwardly at Ray's stepmother.

"Hello, mother-in-law." Sapa Ana's.

Calista - Ray's stepmother returned Ana's greeting with a friendly smile.

"Sit down." Calista patted the seat beside him.

"Thank you." Said Ana while sitting according to the words of Ray's stepmother.

"Are you bored?"

"so yeah. Oh yeah, by the way Ray's being nice to you, right?"

"Engg— it— I can't say for sure."

"If he's rude to you, I hope you can forgive him. He became such a man— because he always felt forgotten and uncared for. Hah— when I have been fair to him, but he always rejects my kindness. Even so I can't hate him, he's my son's brother anyway." Said the middle-aged woman.

I can't judge this woman directly, she's very different from my stepmother who clearly hates me. This woman— her words sound pure and sincere. Doesn't she look like a good stepmother? It should have been lucky that the man had a stepmother like mistress Calista. — Inner Ana.

"Are you hungry? I'll have the waiter bring you tea and snacks."

"Ah actually I want to refuse, but it seems like my stomach is saying something else." Said Ana.

Calista smile. Then, he told his personal servant to make Ana some tea and take some snacks.

"Are you planning on having a child?"

Hearing such a question, it made Ana seem to choke on her own saliva.

The kid? Just be right. That's not gonna happen. Me and that man will never have a child. — Inner Ana.

"On that— we have not discussed it, after all we were married last night." Answer Ana.

"Truely so, geez— it seems I made the atmosphere so uncomfortable for you, forgive me."

"Ah it's okay mother-in-law."

Shortly after, Ray's stepmother's personal waitress arrives with a cup of warm tea and a plate of snacks.

"Drink and eat." Said Ray's stepmother.

"Ah yes." Ana nodded, then started drinking her tea.

"Other times— if you get bored, just meet me. I'd be very happy if anyone would come with me for tea and talk."

Ana nodded and smiled, she drank her tea back. But then, a sound of someone shouting made him choke on the tea.

"ANA!"

The girl turned to the source of the voice, she saw Ray walking towards her with an angry face.

God, it feels like being picked up by an angel of death. He looks scary. — Inner Ana who shudders in horror.

"I thought— sure he'd be angry when he found out you were with me." Said Ana's mother-in-law while looking at Ray who was walking towards them.

Ana is about to answer, but Ray is already in front of Ana, the man pulls Ana's hand away from her stepmother's sight.

"Aww— hurts! What the hell are you doing?! Don't pull my hand!" Ana said, she tried to let go of her hand held firmly by the man.

"Who told you to meet him?!"

"I just want to talk to my mother-in-law. What harm?"

"Who are you calling mother-in-law huh?!"

Ana let out her annoyed breath,

"Well, I'll call her your mother."

"What did you say?! Who are you calling my mother?! You think she's my mother?! My mother died a long time ago, I don't have a mother anymore!"

"Yes yes, next time I'll call her Miss Clarisa."

"You're stupid!" Jerky Ray.

"What else?" Ana looked at Ray annoyed.

"I am the master of this house and you are my wife. That means— you're the mistress here, not the old witch!"

"Gosh— you're so mean to call him that. After all, she's legally valid as your mother."

"You talk like that like you're on good terms with your stepmother."

Checkmate, Ana was speechless again, she just remembered that she had fought with her stepmother in front of Ray.

"You've even said that stepmother is just a lowly woman."

Ana snorted in annoyance,

"The thing is your stepmother and my stepmother are different, your stepmother looks good, not like my stepmother is unfair."

"You know where that witch lady is?! She's just a cheap woman who's ruining someone else's family! Don't get close to someone like that, I won't let you see him again."

"What right do you forbid me!" Ana.

"I'm your husband, whatever you do, you have to have my permission. Now go back to your room."

Ana looked at the man annoyed. The girl was seen stomping her feet, before then stepping away towards her room.

You cruel, heartless and selfish man! Even her stepmother looked better than her! His nature is very bad, annoying, making people upset. — Ana vented her frustration by sneering Ray in her heart, because that was all she could do to dampen her emotions.
