    Summary

    Barry Allen loses more than his mother and father when his life changes. He loses his identity and everything around him, because Joe West can't deal with his ward defending himself. He sends him to live with Nora's sister in Paris, Isabelle Smythe, married to an American Top Lawyer, Richard, to become their eldest son and heir, Sebastian Smythe. But Paris is hard. Paris is cruel. Paris is unforgiving, and his soft heart won't survive long. He dons a mask, to protect himself, and locks everything behind.
    And it works, until he's uprooted once again and suddenly back in America. There, the mask doesn't read as socially competent, but as cruel and mean. And old habits die hard.
