The Skye family started their legacy in the city of Durham, England. But after a decade, they moved and ruled over in Coventry. A century passed and their family is still the hot topic, not just in the city but also in the whole country. Maybe it's because of their knowledge in the business industry and also their relationship with the government.

Entering the manor, Aria Skye is feeling the pressure she supposedly not to. In fact, she is raised by the most hardworking and serious Skye, Alfea Skye. If you are wondering why does she have the surname of "Skye" when it's her mother's maiden surname, ito ay dahil napagkasunduaan ng mga ninuno nila na kahit makapag-anak ang mga babaeng may dugong Skye ay kakailanganing iyon pa rin ang apelyido hanggang sa mga susunod na henerasyon. Their husbands can't do anything because it's one of the outcome after taking the risk to raise a family with a Skye.

"Welcome home, young lady Aria."

"Glad to see you again, Madame Olivia," bati niya sa mayordoma ng manor. The old woman assisted her and her grandma Helga inside. "How long are you going to stay here, young lady?"

"Not for long. I'm going to stay with Grandma Helga in her house, I just visited."

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here," a familiar and irritating voice suddenly joined in.

"Geez, can you stop doing that walk while going down from the stairs? Mukha kang tanga," she rolled her eyes at the person who just arrived in the living room on the manor's left side.

"Ugh, even in person you are still being a narcissist."

"I'm not? Do you even know the meaning of that word? Makapagsalita ka diyan eh akala mo naman tama yung pagdefine mo sa akin."

"Well of course I know. I just wanted to shove in your face that you are a total narcissist."

The two old women just shooked their heads at the encounter of the two daughters of Alfea while the two young ladies are trying not to slap each other. Wow, sisterly love.

"How are you?"

"Good," matamlay na sabi ni Aria bago humiga sa kama ng nakatatandang kapatid na si Razelee Skye. The older just stared at the younger and observed her. For her, Aria is skinny, pale, and looks like she is the weakest human alive. But the truth is, it's just her normal look.

"Really? After knowing the result of the test, you are just fine?" Razelee is controlling herself not to shout. After her conversation with Aria, she has become more nervous, scared, and guilty.

"I expected it," sabi niya at nagtataka naman siyang tinignan ng ate. "Before going here, I've done my research. It's not normal for GERD to be this serious kaya I looked up some possible disease na super related sa nararanasan ko. Hindi sa pinapangunahan ko yung doktor that time-"

"Pinangunahan mo-"

"But I should be ready mentally, physically, and emotionally, Raz," the older became silent. "My body is already hurting but I can't take the risk to hurt my mind and feelings. It's very hard to accept my illness kasi hindi ko alam kung deserve ko ba 'tong nararanasan ko o ano. I know I should be positive that I will heal pero hindi talaga mawala yung expectation sa utak ko na hindi ko kakayanin."

Aria immediately avoided her sister's gaze when she looked up. Razelee is already letting her tears stream down.

"Kayanin mo. For me, for your friends, for Madame Helga, for Brielle, for Kyle, for mom... for yourself."

"How?" her sister sat beside her and gently caressed her cheeks.

"You already know, you are just denying it."
