Jeanne tenía solo 18 años cuando su madrastra y su hermanastra la incriminaron y le hicieron perderlo todo.

La gente se burlaba de ella por ser madre soltera y llamaba a su hijo niño sin padre. —¿A quién llamas niño sin padre? No te gustaría verme enfadado —amenazó Jorge. —¡Cálmate, Jorge! ¡No arruines la diversión! No he tenido suficiente —dijo Jeanne—, ya que quería disfrutar de su venganza, dejando al niño sin palabras.

Todos quedaron sorprendidos, incluida Jeanne. —Soy madre soltera y tengo un hijo. ¿Estás seguro de que te gusto? —dijo ella. —En realidad… ¡me gusta tu hijo! Todos los demás se sorprendieron cuando el Cuarto Maestro Swan se casó con Jeanne, pero solo su astuto yo sabía que había conseguido no uno, sino dos jugadores importantes en este juego de ajedrez que estaba jugando.

SHE Who had fair and glowing skin... Thick, long, and shiny black wavy hair... A pair of aqua-colored, sparkling eyes. And the one who'd been loved by elders, admired by children, and the pride of the family. SHE is my sister... My sister, who had everything that I don't, who got all that I want and received all that I've longed for. I hate her, but I want to be like her. Despite being a boy, I strived to be an equal to her. I've grown my hair and taken good care of my skin. I achieved the perfect replica of her. But just being only a copycat has never been enough. I lived as a living picture of her image and became the scenery of my family who misses her. I'm still not equal. Then one day, no one saw it coming... A circumstance occurred that twisted the cycle of our world which I did not expect would change everything that we used to and opened the door to the next chapter of my bittersweet life. The circumstance that crossed my path to the girl I never thought would play a huge part in my life... That one girl who spoiled me with attention and filled my empty existence with genuine affection. But... In just a blink of an eye, death took her from me. Her sudden death caused dubiety to all of us... Suicidal? No... Someone surely murdered her... But... Our only question is... . . . Who? ~~~
