Chapter 73 Prologue

　　The Sisters

　　10 Years Ago

　　Thunder and lightning echoed all around them. Skies so heavy and dark, taunting and mocking. They were nervously aware it will rain cats and dogs tonight. A tropical typhoon had just hit the country.

　　A year had passed since they fled their hometown province. Bringing the three of them to her dead mother's friend's door. Still poor as a church mouse but one thing had changed -- they were safe.

　　From sexual assault --yes. However, from financial problems --no. Not yet.

　　Which brought Rie and Anna to their recent problem.

　　Anna Michelle.

　　Her small and frail body was huddled under a huge bulk of worn and tattered blankets. Pained, wheezing breaths were coming out from her congested lungs and she was shivering from high fever, making them worry it was another bout of pneumonia.

　　Rie's worried eyes found Anna's.

　　Their eldest sister was frantically dressing in warmer clothes, eyes determined, face pinched.
