Chapter 27: The Heir’s Return

You can run from your past.

You can hide from your blood.

But you can’t escape a shadow…

that wears your face.

Scene 1: The First Encounter

It happened in Kyoto.

A secret trip. A family vacation meant to feel normal.

But nothing about your life is normal now.

He found you in a quiet alley behind a temple.

Dressed in black. Eyes soft, yet dangerous.

“Hello, little sister,” he said.

Yoongi stepped in front of you instantly.

“Touch her, and you’ll disappear.”

The man smirked. “Relax, hyung. I just came to talk.”

Scene 2: A Deal in the Dark

He called himself Raayan.

The child Ishira kept hidden.

He told you three truths:

1. He was raised by the same elite circles your father betrayed.

2. He has no interest in killing Aahana—but he needs her voice.

3. He’s launching a new global label—Legacy, built on bloodlines, rebellion, and real stories.

“She doesn’t have to be a puppet,” Raayan said.

“She can be the star. The world already hears her. Let them see her.”

You looked at Yoongi.

He was shaking. Silent.

“She’s five,” he hissed.

“She’s our daughter, not your weapon.”

Raayan nodded slowly.

“And what will you do when her voice starts drawing attention anyway?When the world takes her, with or without your permission?”

Scene 3: The Tape

Before leaving, Raayan slid a USB into your hand.

“Play it tonight. Just once.”

You waited until Aahana was asleep.

When Yoongi finally pressed play, your world cracked.

It was a recording.

Of Aahana.

Singing.

From a hidden mic at preschool.

Her voice was haunting.

Perfect.

Laced with emotion beyond her years.

Yoongi’s hands clenched into fists.

“She’s already been found.”

---

Scene 4: The Choice You Never Wanted

You and Yoongi sat in silence.

“What do we do?” you asked.

“We teach her,” he said. “Ourselves. On our terms.”

“And if she wants the stage?”

His voice broke.

“Then we go with her.”

---

Ending Scene: The Spotlight Awakens

Aahana stood on the empty stage at home.

Her tiny fingers on the piano.

She looked up and whispered—

“Appa… is this what I was born to do?”

Yoongi knelt beside her. Voice thick with fear and pride.

“Yes, baby. But we’ll do it together.”

Outside, hidden in the shadows, Raayan watched.

A smile playing on his lips.

“It begins.”
