Chapter 1. Kauffman Siblings

Rayvenne Kaufman is a 36-year-old business development manager for a multinational corporation involved in food trading between Europe and the United States. Her parents created the company and wanted Rayvenne and her older brother to carry it forward.

However, Rayvenne has no interest in continuing the family business. Instead, she is passionate about cooking. In her free time or when she wants to relax, she visits her younger sister's apartment and spends time in the kitchen. Cooking makes Rayvenne feel better and helps reduce her anger towards her parents, especially her mother, who keeps nagging her to marry someone, anyone.

"Does Brother Matthias know you're here?" asks Sarah Isabelle, the youngest Kaufman sibling. Sarah has established herself as an influential figure in the high fashion industry, particularly in New York. Sarah's upbringing was carefully orchestrated with the intention of securing a marriage with a wealthy tycoon or their children, which allowed for the flourishing of the Kaufman industries.

"Of course he knows; it was the least he could do," Rayvenne answers her little sister.

Just like the rich, the influencer, or Hollywood's fame, the Kauffman's siblings have always been popular and often hit the headline, especially among the rich and famous billionaire community. Not just because their wealth gained them fame, but also because of their looks, which are pleasing to the eyes. The raw beauty of the Greek goddess is applied to them both, perfect since birth.

The oldest sibling and sole male heir of the family, Matthias, has gained considerable reputation due to his amazing physical traits. His well-proportioned figure, his balanced face with a perfect jawline, complimented by his pair of lime-green eyes, his lean muscle that looks good with whatever clothes he's wearing, his charming smile, and his skill in martial arts.

Meanwhile, eventhough Rayvenne is slightly taller than her older brother, she have a slender body with toned muscle from the results of her practicing krav maga and Thailand's kick boxing. She have a pair of bright green eyes like the emerald, honeydew skin, long, wavy jet black hair, and a brain like senior politician. Her body proportion is godly; both males and females are drawn to her and worship her like tomorrow never comes.

And Sarah, the lovely Sarah is one of the most wanted model in the world and Victoria Secret's angel. Her face and beauty are the perfect ones—not much to be corrected, easy to take a picture, amazing in any clothes, walk like an angel, talk like an angel—she's truly a sight to behold. 

"He's the best brother we could have asked for," Sarah said.

"I agree, but do you intend to marry Norman? The youngest son of a French millionaire?" Rayvenne asked while cutting a fresh piece of Korean beef. "You know, this fresh Korean beef is better without anything; just grill it and eat it; maybe the Himalayan salt will make it perfect. Do you drink beer this day or wine?"

"He's gay, which is beneficial to us. At the very least, to feed our parents' egos, how about you?" Sarah stared at the meat and said, "I'll go get the griddle. Let's have some wine; beer will make me bloated."

"I'm going to follow Matt and do whatever he needs me to do while slowly opening my cafe," Rayvenne replied. "Oh, I think I bought a few bottles of Finca Mirador Achaval-Ferrer 2016 Magnum; those are good Malbec wines from Argentina." She has always been the center of attention due to her wit and brilliance, and her parents hope she will wed the son of a United States senator so she can run the family business with her brother, Matthias.

"You and your wines, let me get the griddle for you and find the wine after," Sarah said, starting to walk towards the kitchen to help her sister prepare their dinner.

Sarah couldn't help but tease her older sister, Rayvenne, as they stood in the kitchen together. With a mischievous grin, she playfully remarked, "You know, Ray, you don't exactly look like a chef with a body like that." Staring at the woman who, according to TIMES magazine readers, is one of the top ten most attractive people in the world, making her the most wanted person on Earth in terms of beauty, wealth, and attitude.

Rayvenne is better at martial arts and politics than Matthias. However, she's terrible at business, and Rayvenne would rather spend her time in the kitchen than following her parents' wishes and getting involved in politics.

She couldn't help but let out a mischievous laugh as she looked at her sister, Sarah, who was dressed in a stunning outfit. The vibrant colors and stylish cuts perfectly accentuated Sarah's natural beauty.

With a playful glint in her eye, Rayvenne couldn't resist teasing her. "You know, Sarah," Rayvenne said, smiling playfully, "you look like a pillow princess dressed like that." Sarah raised an eyebrow after hearing her sister's words.

"Oh, come on, have you seen yourself?" Rayvenne replied with a grin.

"What are the chances? Our parents have two lesbians daughters." Rayvenne couldn't help but burst into laughter. Her contagious laughter filled the air. Meanwhile, Sarah simply shook her head in response, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Despite their wealth and status, the Kaufman siblings aren't giving the impression that they are distant, arrogant, or apathetic toward the public. Even when some believe that Matthias and Rayvenne are at odds because they are both superiors and prospective heirs to the family business empire.

Those two are trying to gain public sympathy by being nice and humble, to make people choose their side and make it easier to inherit the Company later.

However, the truth is far different. Rayvenne has zero interest in the company, and she has been pleading with Matthias since they were young adults to let her follow in his footsteps and help him, on the condition that he allows her to do what she enjoys most: cooking and baking.

As for Sarah, she has been crying and begging on Matthias' shoulder, expressing her disdain for the idea of marrying some billionaire's child. At the very least, she demanded that he find her a gay son, or she would run away or commit suicide. Matthias, the oldest of the Kaufman siblings, found himself surrounded by a handful of sisters.

Rayvenne and Sarah are two girls who have brought both happiness and drama into his life. Matthias was always amazed at the special bonding he had with his sisters as they experienced life's ups and downs together.

From playful backyard activities when they were young to heartbreaking conversations with alcohol late at night, their sibling love developed with every passing moment. Matthias treasured the moments he spent with Rayvenne and Sarah, despite the difficulties they experienced as children of a wealthy and influential family.
