Outside someone was banging on the door, loud enough to scare everyone
A maid opens the door and...

Ben (Kendall's brother)
Kendall!
*serious* Do you really want to stay in the place where mom was killed?
Do you forget that day?!?!!
Hearing those words, kendall tremble... he hadn't forgotten that day at all, the torment of his existence...
It was the middle of the night, someone in the stormy rain had knocked on the Robertsons' door... someone announcing a sad fate...
And this fate belonged to his mother
CHAPTER 2
Kendall: I lived in a small house in the woods with my family. We were two brothers, a father and a mother...
My father was a carpenter, while my mother was a maid in the Convetry family.
She earned a lot to keep the family going.
She was a sweet, kind and cheerful person: when she was there, no one cried
She was the sunshine of our life
Kendall 's mother
I'm going to work!
Kendall
Have a nice day, mommy!
Ben (Kendall's brother)
Be careful!
Kendall 's father
Have a nice day, honey!
*kiss her*
Kendall 's mother
I'm going!
Kendall's mother leaves the house to go to work
Kendall
I wish mommy can have an nice day~
Ben (Kendall's brother)
You fool
*laugh*
Kendall 's father
Stop now, we're going to work too!
Ben (Kendall's brother)
Yes father!
They went to work until the evening as usual
But that day was different...
From one moment to the next a huge storm had arisen, the rain did not stop
The two brothers with their father tried to run as much as possible so as not to wet the cut wood
After what seemed like centuries, they finally reached their home, but they continued to think of their mother still at the villa...
The night was gradually getting closer, a bolt of lightning struck towards a tree...
Under the blinding light...
They were dragging a bag and... they knocked on the door
？？？
There is a parcel for you, Mr. Robertson... sent in Madame's name
Kendall 's father
For me?
Kendall 's father
At this time...?
Kendall's father opened the door, but the only thing he had in front of him was just a huge bag... there was no sign of the woman who had sent that package
He took the package inside the house and... opened it...
A figure emerged, half of its hair burned off, arms cut to the bone...
His face was unrecognizable, but he had a ring on his ring finger...
That was Kendall's mother's wedding ring
Kendall
M...mother...?
*tears fall from his eyes without him realizing it*
Ben (Kendall's brother)
That's not possible!!!!
Kendall 's father
H-honey?
Kendall 's father
Why...?
*confused*
Kendall 's father
WHY!!!!
Kendall 's father
What did you do wrong to deserve this??
Kendall 's father
*hold her hand and crying*
Kendall
"why i can't stop crying?"
Ben (Kendall's brother)
*he hugs his brother and consoles him*
Don't look it, that's not real, all of that is a dream, don't worry... Kendall
Kendall
Why...?
*hugs his brother*
No one knew what had happened, but from that day everything had changed...
The father, after losing the person he cared about most in the world, had stopped smiling, continued to drink alcohol, not even paying attention to his children
At the same time they hadn't even had the chance to dedicate a burial worthy of their mother due to lack of money...
After two years, the father died of a heart attack, while the older brother suffered from a very serious illness due to excessive work
Continued for another year, but after that, Kendall can no longer bear the pain of having to lose his own brother too...
Just at that moment a letter had arrived for them...
One to replace the deceased mother...
He arrived in complete mystery, no one knew why, but Kendall decided to accept the job for the sake of his brother, before he finds out...
