After my sister, Claire Whitman, and I came of age, our parents forced us to choose our futures. One of us would take over the family business. The other would marry into the Stone family in Lintabruge. Greedy for inheritance, Claire chose the company without hesitation. But she was lazy and indulgent, spending her days traveling and enjoying herself, completely neglecting the business. In less than a year, she ran the company into the ground and lost everything. I, on the other hand, married into the Stone family. I bore them two sons and secured my position as a powerful lady of a wealthy household. Claire was driven mad with jealousy. At a family gathering, she stabbed me to death in a frenzy. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of our choices. Claire spoke first. "I'll marry into the Stone family. The company can go to Sophia." I couldn't help but smile. Oh, Claire, the Stone family was nothing but a living hell.
