In the morning, there was again a noise from the house, even it felt this time more rowdy than last night.

Ana reluctantly opens the door to her room, she still feels sleepy, all night she can not sleep quietly, because her mind is filled with problems that are happening.
"Sister! Brother Ana!" That voice made Ana open her eyes wide, 'Kenan?' muttered Ana in his heart.
With a quick movement, Ana got off her bed, the girl walked straight to her bedroom door, then opened the door.
There is a young man who is his younger brother, Kenan standing in front of Ana with a panicked look on his face.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so panicked?" Ask Ana worried.
"That— at home there's Mr. Raymond."
"Raymond's? who?" Asked Ana who still could not connect her head properly.
"Raymond Yuan Gavin! TNP group CEO, he's coming to our house, now in the guest room"
Ana unites her sister's words one after another, slowly the trajectory of the memories of last night's debate begins to re-circle her mind.
You mean Raymond who asked for that weird condition? Now what else is going to happen? Jeez— why does my stepfamily like to make trouble!?! Sucks. — Inner Ana
"Eh? Where are you going?" Kenan asked, when he saw Ana who suddenly passed by him just like that. The girl walked out of the room towards the living room.
Ana came down the stairs while showing her cold aura and flat expression. Leisurely, the girl then sat on the sofa chair that was right in front of Ray. He looked at the man for quite a long time, giving off a radiance of dislike that was so obvious.
How dare he look at me like that. — thought Ray in his heart.
The next second, Ana pretended to smile politely at Ray. Then, he seemed to be getting ready to say something that he seemed to have wanted to say for a long time.
"I'd like to apologize to you. Because most likely my words will later offend little lord Raymond. I— "
"Dad!" Her other family seemed very panicked, they were worried that Ana was saying something that might make Ray angry.
This girl doesn't seem to be afraid of me at all. Yaa— is quite interesting. All right, let's see what he will say, will he also beg to be married by me? — thought Ray
Can't be afraid Ana! You've done the right thing. How could I just be quiet when my family is fooled by him. Although Rachel is my half-sister, but— her name is also listed in the family list. I just don't want my family's self-esteem to be looked down upon by this haughty man. — Ana keeps trying to convince herself to stay confident and firm.
"If you apply for such undignified terms, you better cancel this business contract." Said Ana.
The girl said it without the slightest expression of fear. In fact, his heart actually felt very afraid, he was afraid that his actions would add to the problems that were happening.
"Sir Ana! What do you mean by that?! Stop pretending to care about me! Who do you think— is you?! Don't interfere in my personal affairs!" Rachel said as she stood up from her seat. The girl intends to slap Ana in the face, but when she remembers that there is a Ray in front of her, Rachel chooses to undo her bad intentions.
Ana who had seen Rachel standing with a handful of emotions also rose from her seat. Undaunted, he gazed towards Rachel who was currently standing beside Ana's stepmother.
"You think— is all about your personal business? Nah! This is also about our family's self-esteem! Don't you understand what the terms mean? You will only be a slave to him, as well as to our family! A lifetime will only continue to obey all his words!" Said Ana.
Rachel's birth mother who heard Ana's words was increasingly covered by resentment and emotion, to make her unable to control herself anymore, the hand was— the middle-aged woman's hand slapped Ana's face, it makes a 'plaque' sound that sounds quite loud in everyone's ears.
The entire room was shocked to see that, they were all shocked by the actions that the middle-aged woman had taken. Except for— Ray, the man was the only one who was seen enjoying every scene that he thought was very interesting.
"Your sister sacrificed herself to help the family company! But you've always been a troublemaker! Gosh, you think— you're the smartest and most true huh?!" Asked Yurina— Ana's stepmother with a tone of voice full of insinuation and ridicule.
Within minutes, Ana was silent. However, in the next second of time, the girl stared intently at her stepmother Yurina—. Ana held the woman's arm firmly, making the middle-aged woman grimace in pain.
"If it wasn't for you and your daughter who like to spend money, and also your gullible son. My family's company won't have a crisis like this! So— stops acting like you're my mom and don't ever think you're the lady of this house!" Reply Ana with her sharp words.
Ana released her grip on the hand of her stepmother. Then, he walked out of the living room. But a few steps away, Ana suddenly paused for a moment to utter a warning to her stepmother.
"I could've broken the hand of the man who just slapped me. But— is just a lowly woman who does such a lowly thing, so disgusting to me."
After being satisfied to say it, he again stepped away, followed by Kenan who looked worried about his brother.
In the room, Ana falls on the floor, hitting her chest, which feels tight.
"Sister!" Kenan panicked with his brother's condition, the man as soon as possible approached his brother who had fallen on the floor. Seen by her, Ana's face had paled.
"I'm fine, but— can you help sister stand up?!" Ana Pinta.
With a quick movement, Kenan as soon as possible helped her brother stand up. But, when he felt that Ana was too weak, Kenan finally chose to hold the brother. The young man laid his brother on the bed carefully.
"Is it still hard to breathe?" Ask Kenan.
Ana shook her head, she smiled at her sister.
"No, thank you."
"Oh yes! Looks like— I need to avenge that old witch?"
"No— no Kenan, just let them."
"But his actions have been outrageous! How dare he slap big brother in front of a guest." Kenan.
