At that moment, hearing the word 'parent' suddenly made Davi remember a certain painful memory.

Seven years ago, the tribulation of the once peaceful and loving family of four began.

Mizuri Akemi and Mizuri Shun, Davi and Haru's parents, were in fact both A-list superstars. The two were among the most powerful couple in the entertainment industry during their prime that their popularity remained on top even when they got married and bore children.

That time, they were still having various famous movies and TV shows despite their age and they remained among the highest paid celebrities. However, things started to fall when Mizuri Shun suddenly involved in a mysterious contact fraud. Gossip magazines and online platforms started spreading rumors that the famous superstar was involved in the said huge scandal.

Davi was only twelve years old that time and she watched the entire event happened before her eyes.

Until chaos finally unfolded.

Time passed and police and countless investigators along with many prosecutors and attorneys began to come and go as though their once peaceful home turned into a public government office.

Reporters never left the front of their house 24/7. Everything turned into a complete mess and Davi could only watch her parents being slowly dragged down to hell.

Her father, was denying the said allegation, saying it was all a lie. However, the power of entertainment industry was strong enough to crash him down into pieces.

Evidences of various contract frauds under his name suddenly resurfaced online. Until eventually, the court found him guilty in no time. The government fined him millions for his said crimes but it didn't end there.

Mizuri Shun couldn't accept the result, thus, he started investigating secretly. He and his wife actually just switched agency since they already planned to retire. HL entertainment, their former agency was the biggest agency that time, however, it was shrouded with any kind of darkness. The couple was asked by their own manager to take part in a certain illegal project, causing them to finally plan to leave the agency. However, the CEO was against it and he even threatened the couple when they didn't re-sign their contract with them. Due to that, Mizuri Shun believed that HL entertainment was behind those fake evidences.

However, midway in his investigation, Mizuri Shun disappeared. HL entertainment was rumored to manipulated the media and reported all sorts of lies involving the superstar's disappearance, even dragging his innocent wife along with it.

The media were like a wildfire that impossible even for the government to extinguished. The issue lasted for months and the torture never ceased, because Shun Mizuri was never found.

Until a year went by and the police found Mizuri Shun's body who appeared to have been killed that same time of his disappearance a year ago.

The anguish of a yearlong suffering caused Akemi's health to drastically declined. And the news of her dearest husband's death broke the last string of hope in her heart that eventually lead her into suicide.

That same year, Davi and her little brother left their house and they lived in their grandmother's place. Haru was just five year old that time and Davi was just thirteen.

The only thing they're glad about was that, their parents never revealed Davi and Haru in public, thus only few people knew that they were the children of two former legendary superstars.

Three years later, their beloved grandmother also died due to her old age, leaving the two completely on their own.

That same year, her father's case suddenly resurfaced and the investigation found out that Mizuri Shun was innocent and that the CEO of HL entertainment was found guilty for multiple crimes including fraud and murder.

That time, as Davi watched the news, she did nothing but smile. A bitter smile was carved in her face as hate and pain flashed across her eyes. Davi was a witness to everything that had happened. And she realized just how easy it was for the entertainment industry to manipulate people and eventually destroy lives. A surge of extreme urge to take revenge burned in her heart, however, when she looked at her little brother, the rage in her heart slowly dissipated as she asked herself; That man will be jailed for the rest of his life, now whom should I take revenge to?

From then on, young Davi could only put the blame to the entertainment industry. She thought that it was the same thing that raised them up to glory and eventually drag them down to hell.
