Lihinsa was 19 and Sharmaine was 16 when their father died.They knew it would be pretty much hard for them for their way of living,since Kanthi their mother didn't have a job at the moment.Reginold,their father had married twice, he had a son from his second marriage.At the tym of his death his second wife wanted his son to have the whole property but Reginold knew it would be hard for these two girls and he must leave something for them as well,because in South Asian countries dowry is a must.His son,Shehan married young to a wealthy family and had a small child called Matheesha.They all lived in the same house.Before his father passed away he wanted to a promise from Shehan,he requested him to help his two sisters in their financial aspects.But when his wife got to know it she went mad at Shehan "what brother on earth would do such a thing for his two sisters,and if really his sisters" insisted his wife. "But i promised him and i will have my will to my father" "what about Matheesha's future he needs to go to private school he needs to do courses and get degrees when he's young enough in order to have a good job,where could we find money and who would give us if you spare ur sisters with it,your step sisters half our income,i could imagine how they would live.. they will spend all those money in a year having servants,carriages and all sorts of luxurious comforts try to be wise perhaps ur father must have meant to help them by finding them good partners and helping  them to get settled apart from the dowry they're inherited with." However Shehans wife Sheril was able to change Shehan's mind in the end.

After Reginald death Shehan's wife tried to take the whole house under her control,and showed her dislike on Kanthi's family.Lihinsa and Sharmaine hated her in the same manner. Each day they used to look for a cottage to live separately with their mom. Sheril's hatred increased when she got to know that some thing fishy was going between Hasith,her elder brother and Lihinsa.
