In the summer of 1992, the second son of the clan's leader was born, sparking joy and celebration within their enclave. However, during that fateful night, an ominous threat was silently approaching their doorstep. While the family revelled in the birth of their newest member, an ambush was underway, orchestrated by their enemies. Chaos erupted as lives were lost, throwing the clan into a state of panic. In a desperate bid to protect his newborn son, Mr. Kelvin Anderson made a heart-wrenching decision: he entrusted the child to a maid and urged her to flee the country, taking the boy far away from harm's reach. Out of sheer urgency, she left with him, vanishing without a trace. Yet the question lingers: will they remain hidden forever, or will fate conspire to bring the boy back to his origins? And when he finally returns, what future awaits him?
