''Stop calling me elder sister. I am not your family member. The last time I checked you and I don't even share blood and you can have the dress, I lost interest in it the moment I saw you''
''Elder sister, do you have to be so cold towards me?'' Mimi asked as her tears fell down her face.
''Darling, is everything alright?'' Thomas who was sitting at the corner quietly decided to stand up at that moment and walked over.
Seeing the man, they've only seen on TV most of the time standing in front of them, Mimi and her friends gasped.
''Is that Thomas Sun? He is so handsome.'' One of the ladies whispered.
''What is going on here? Is everything alright?'' Thomas asked again as he held Natalie's hand.
''No, unfortunately, we have to leave this store because someone just spoilt my mood. Let's just go without gifts today. Mother, and father in law will understand, right?'' Natalie asked Thomas.
''Of course. They wouldn't mind, you are their precious daughter in law after all''
''Brother in law, do you remember me? I am Mimi, I am elder sister's younger sister'' Mimi anxiously introduced herself. She didn't look like the one who had acted so innocently earlier on.
''Do you have a sister that I don't know about?'' Thomas turned to ask Natalie and Mimi's face distorted.
''No. I do not have any sister, let's go'' Natalie answered as she looked at Mimi.
Mimi held Natalie's hand and said. ''Elder sister, please do visit home soon. Mom missed you and always worry about you''
''Hey, do you have a death wish?'' Natalie asked coldly and Mimi retracted her hand immediately and stepped back.
Natalie turned to the two friends of Mimi and asked. ''Aren't you moving out of my way?'' The two girls moved back and Natalia went out with Thomas.
''Mimi, is that really your infamous elder sister, Natalia Jun?'' One of the girls asked and Mimi nodded her head.
''You're right. If only elder sister didn't choose the wrong path, mother won't have been so aggrieved?'' Mimi faked her concern for Natalie.
''She looks so scary.'' The other girl added.
''Miss Song, you are welcome to our shop, how may I help you?'' The manager asked as she looked at them.
Inside Thomas' car, Natalie broke down in cold sweat as her body quivered.
''Here,!'' Thomas peeled a boiled egg and handed it over to Natalie and she snatched it immediately and started eating it. Looking at her still getting anxiety disorder each time she met with anyone from the Song family, it broke his heart.
In front of the world, Natalie was brave but when it came to the Song family, all her strength came crumbling down.
''It's been so long. Does meeting that little witch still give you the creeps that much?'' Thomas asked worriedly.
''You have no idea what that little witch made me go through that year. It's involuntary, I can't help getting panic attacks each time I have an encounter with her. She is monstrous."
''Just give me your consent. I will make sure everything she has is yours. I will destroy everything that they have and make them pay for messing with you.''
''No, is still not the right time yet. I want to take my revenge against them on my own. Don't worry, I will let you know when it gets tough for me. Until they tell me where they hid my father's ashes, I can't touch them.'' Natalie calmed down and spoke.
''Nat, I can let someone search for the urn for you.''
''You won't find it. The last time I saw it was when they hid it in the secret room in their basement but it isn't there anymore. Tom, is alright. I'm fine. See? After eating the egg I'm back to normal.'' Natalie reassured Thomas with a smile.
''I'm sending you back home. Let's visit my parents another time.'' Thomas suggested.
''No, let's go today." Natalie held Thomas' hanf. "You're going to country V in two days. We might not be able to get the time again since you're going to be there for a month. Besides, your mother has been wanting to see me for some time now, I don't want us to disappoint her.''
''Are you sure?'' Thomas was worried about Natalie's health.
''Yes, I'm fine. Let's go.'' Natalie smiled.
''Okay. Send us to the family house.'' Thomas rolled down the window and spoke to the driver who was standing outside the car.
....
SONG VILLA.
Mimi stormed into the villa angrily and started yelling as she entered into her room. The housekeeper and the maids followed suit but she locked them out of the door and they could only hear her throwing things around inside the room.
The butler walked to them after hearing the chaos and asked. ''What is wrong with the young Miss?''
''Butler, we do not know. The young Miss came home angry and went to her room. She has locked herself in the room since and has refused to come out.'' One of the maids answered.
''Maybe something didn't go her way. She always throws tantrums anytime something doesn't go her way.'' Another maid spoke. Everyone in the house was well aware of Mimi's character.
Anything something didn't go her way, she would act in the his manner.
''Quiet!'' The butler sounder a strict warning to the maid after seeing Mrs. Song from a distance.
''What is going on here?'' Mrs. Song asked after getting closer.
''It seems that the young Miss is not satisfied with something.'' The butler explained cautiously.
''Alright, I will handle it, go.'' Solace Song pushed open the door and frowned when she saw the mess Mimi had made.
''Why? Why is she so beautiful after everything I've done to destroy that face of hers?'' Mimi yeller again and pushed to the floor all her cosmetics on the vanity table
Solace stepped forward and picked up a necklace on the floor. She looked at Mimi Song and asked. ''What is wrong? Why are you throwing a tantrum this afternoon?''
''Mom...'' Mimi sobbed as she hugged Solace.
''Is okay, stop crying and tell me what's wrong? Who hurt you?'' Solace patted her back gently.
''Mom, I'm sorry. I don't know what to do...'' Mimi said as she wiped her tears.
''Is okay, tell me what happened?''
''Mom, I'm just sad. I saw elder sister today and she…''
''Didn't I tell you to stay away from that girl? Nothing good comes out of talking with her?'' Solace frowned. She loathed that name so much.
''Still, she is my elder sister. I just wish that she will change and return home to mother. I see how worried you get sometimes just thinking about her.'' Mimi pretended to care.
''Don't be so kind towards that girl. I don't want to hear anything about her. You always try to make things right with her, but she doesn't want that. All she knows how to do is to cause problems for me. Stay away from her.'' Solace humped.
''But…'' Mimi lowered her face revealing a triumphant smirk.
As long as the long standing misunderstanding existed between them, they will never see eye to eye and that was Mimi's end goal.
''No buts. Come down for tea and let the maids clean this up. You want what is good for her, but what about her? She only knows to think about herself.''
''Yes, mom. I want to freshen up first.'' Mimi calmed down considerably.
''Do that and come down for lunch'' Solace said and went out.
Mimi Song's face changed and she smiled sinisterly. Her eyes turned cold with hatred. She turned to face the mirror and muttered.
''Natalie Jun, in this life, only one of us can survive. I will never allow you to rise from the place I left you!''
….
SUN FAMILY MANSION.
Thomas got down from the car and stretched forth his hand to help Natalie get down.
''You are welcome, young master and Miss Jun!'' The butler of the house greeted them at the hall the moment they arrived.
''Thank you uncle, where are my parents?''
''Your mother is went in to change. Your father got a call and went to the company. What can I serve you?'' The butler asked.
''Will you drink anything, darling?'' Thomas turned to asked Natalie.
''No, thank you uncle!''
''Look who we have here?'' A plump woman with average height wearing a long black dress walked down the stairs in confident steps towards them. ''You finally decided to come and visit this old woman?''
''I'm sorry for coming late. Blame Thomas.'' Natalie said and hugged the woman back.
''I am totally blaming him. He hid a beautiful woman in his villa for so long. Sit down''
''Aunt, I'm sorry. I didn't even tell you about our marriage before.''
''What are you talking about? You are like a daughter to me, do you know how happy I was when I saw the two of you on TV? I always knew you would end up marrying one of my sons.'' Mrs. Sun had a sunny and lively character and loved Natalie.
''I feel left out. Mom, you can't steal my wife away like that.'' Thomas whined.
''She knew me before you two met. Before she became your wife, she was already my daughter.''
''Yes, yes, Mrs. Regina Sun has spoken'' Thomas said and they laughed.
''It would have been nice if that silly boy was here'' Mrs. Sun said and shook his head.
