In front of her all their relatives and enemies are nothing…
However, it is a shame that Anna prefers to stay in the shadows. Moreover, all this family scheming and business politics are insignificant and she believes that they are nothing but a waste of time.
So, she would rather not mingle with these people. Anyway it's not like she cares about anything related to the Danvers family.
"By the way, who is that man? I mean, why is he having his people watch over the funeral?" Anna spoke for the first time, ignoring the suggestions being made by her best friend and young brother.
Meanwhile, Adrianna (Ria) pinched the space between her eyebrows and once again looked at Kyle who was now staring at his sister with a blank face.
Although Anna's real name is Adrianna, she prefers Anna over it.
And, Ria who is living the life of a young miss of Danvers family is now called Adrianna Danvers.
It has been five years since Ria was announced as the young miss of Danvers family.
Since then Ria has been enjoying the perks of being a granddaughter of a wealthy family. However, never once she had felt that greed to continue that life forever.
She has only felt that it is her responsibility to live the life of Adrianna Danvers as per she was instructed. It is because she is loyal to Anna who has helped her tremendously when she needed it the most.
Besides that, she is also aware of the consequences if she betrays Anna. Only who knows the 'real' Anna will know what will happen if they try to disturb the balance in her life..
So, being one of them who is aware about everything related to Anna, Ria would never try to deceive or plot behind Anna's back.
She is asked to pretend like an arrogant, spoiled, good for nothing, young miss. And just like instructed, Ria has been acing it.
As no one knows what the real miss of Danvers' family looks like, they never suspected if she, Ria, is the real one one or not. This is because Anna and Kyle have lived abroad till Anna turned seventeen.
When Anna was fifteen and Kyle was nine, their parents disappeared. As their parents left the country twenty years back, the siblings never met their grandparents, Mr and Mrs. Danvers who lost the whereabouts of their son for almost nineteen years and only found out about his disappearance from some anonymous source.
It was when they found out that they have a granddaughter and a grandson and quickly rushed to their side.
They exhausted all their resources to find their lost son and daughter in law but to no avail. So, they could only persuade their grandchildren to come back with them to their native country and live with them.
By the time Anna and Kyle arrived in country A with their grandparents, Anna was already seventeen and went abroad for her studies very shortly after that. As she remained low key in that short span of time, no one in country A knows what the real miss of the Danvers family looks like.
Later, because of the disagreements between Anna and grandfather Danvers, Anna never visited country A again.
Although she used to meet her brother Kyle, she never visited him in Country A.
It's been years since she has been here.
"Ria…" Anna called her imposter friend who seemed spaced out.
"Hmm? What? You asked me something?" Adrianna (Ria) asked. She was thinking about Anna's past and got carried away.
"Sis asked about Aiden," Kyle reminded Ria. Although Ria is not his biological sister, she is no less than his own sister.
When Anna sent Ria as her imposter, he was very angry and frustrated.
He didn't understand why his sister did that and it always made him wonder how their grandparents agreed to this arrangement very easily. They welcomed Ria into the family and without any further doubt or hesitation, they announced Ria as their granddaughter.
It made him uncomfortable and restless. He thought Ria is someone cunning and greedy, however she proved him wrong by staying loyal to Anna and his grandparents.
He started accepting the arrangement only after testing Ria over and over again and it didn't take much time for Ria and Kyle to bond. After that, Ria started to become someone close to his heart.
A sister.
Now, as their grandparents are dead and the Danvers position in the company is at risk, he could only hope that Anna would reveal the truth and take over the company. Though he has no problem with Ria taking over, he knows that it is not plausible.
As someone who knows his sister, Anna well, he is very confident that she could easily outsmart the competition and save the hard work of their grandparents.
But the question is, would she do that?
For her, this company, these people, the Danvers family are a mere distraction to her work.
The actual question here is…
Will she go back to her island or will she stay here??
