Our Little Secret

• Chapter 24-Six Digit Combination •

I didn't sleep.At all.I know it is wrong on so many levels but I had to go through the entire room.I didn't feel safe in it.I would literally feel safer with a murderer standing next to me!

I found a few weird things but...I knew something was up when I found a chinese ring dagger set.A box of them.It was hidden deep inside his closet and,the freakiest part is,it had no dust on it.Like they have been used recently.

So,I carefully took them all out.I counted the empty spots and I checked the amount number under the box itself.Half of it is gone.Half of it is not there.

I put it all back and placed the box back into the closet's depths.I knew I had to go further after that and...I found a little safe inside his bathroom.A little,fire resistant,safe.I know because I have one too.Back in Paris for the valuable jewlery,ID and Passport.

Siz digited and obviously harder than a four digited safe.

I tried his birthday and I was wrong.Let's cross 200103 off the list.Maybe he writes the month before the date.I tried 012003 but it didn't work either.

Maybe it's his older brother's birthday.But...Ugh!I don't even know his older brother's name!I went into the internet and found it.But it wasn't it.I tried his mother.

Again,didn't work.

He really dislikes his father but it was worth a try!

I tried his twin brother's death day but...I couldn't find anything about his existance.Isn't it weird that I also couldn't find Adrien?Like him and his twin don't even exist!

I could find his older brothers death day.Neither that or his mother's death day worked.I had another guess but it's a painful one for me.

Wht if it's an ex girlfriend's birthday.He didn't mention any cousins.I tried Klaus' birthday right now.Didn't work.

You know what?I give up.Too much thoughts running around.Too much possiblities...It gives me a headache.Several headaches,actually.

I started going through his desk's little shelves and...I did find a book that has been used poorly or too much.The cover looked old but there was a post-it inside the book itself.

"The cover is a bit damaged,I'm aware.But in case you couldn't read it,this is-quite literally-the oldest version of The Picture of Dorian Gray that I could find.Happy Birthday,bunny."

So...This is actually a gift to me?Ok,I uhm...I need a minute to process what I just read.I put the book back and I laid on his bed as there was only 20 hours left before I had to wake up and start getting ready.

Next morning,the first thing I did was to call Pierre."Mistress Reine.What can I do for you?"I sighed."What I'm about to ask you won't be known by my father."

"Mistress Reine,I-"I cut him off."If you don't want my father to know that his ex wife used to sleep with his personal chauffeur behind his back,get you fired and make sure you can never have a job again,die lonely from starvation and dehydration on the streets,you listen to me buddy."

I heard him gulp."I'm listening."

"There you go.Good boy."I sighed."I want you to go to the graveyard,find the Chevalier family grounds and send me a picture of every tombstone in there.Seperately."

"May I ask why,Mistress?"I scoffed."I can call my father right after I hang up.I hope you got your answer,Pierre."He sighed."First thing in the morning,I will-"

"Actually,you'll go there now.And you'll get me what I wanted from you.Right now,Pierre.""Of course.And if your father asks?"I rolled my eyes."You've been lying to him for years.Figure it out."
