I had just gotten released from the hospital. I heard the news about the crash. There had to be more. I avoided all questions and any info about the crash.
All I wanna know is:
Who was the second person?
I quickly grabbed my computer and searched Google.
Adrien Agreste and Wife Die in Tragic Accident. One Other Injured. Most Details Unknown...
My stomach tightened. I felt queasy.
I hovered my cursor over the link.
"Adrien."
I jump slightly and look towards my door.
"Aunt Amelie?!"
"It's time for dinner, Adrien," She replies.
"O-ok. Thanks for letting me know."
I glance at my computer for a few more seconds before bookmarking it and closing the tab.

Amelie, Felix, his family, and I were gathered around the living room at Felix's house. I was playing with Emma and the other three had their focus on the hammer the news just swung.
Breaking News: Gabriel Agreste Arrested for Unknown Reasons.
And just like that my world came crashing down.
"Well look at that!" Felix exclaimed, "The ol' bastard finally got what's coming to him."
"Felix," Bridgette hissed, "Language."
"What? It's not a cuss word Bri."
"You have a 6-month-old daughter here Fe"
"It's ok," I baby-talked, " Uncle Adrien will always use his words cautiously."
"Adrien, I implore you, please refrain from baby-talking to my daughter."
"Whatever," I rolled my eyes and cooed at Emma, "You'll always be my baby right Em?"
"Give me my child back."
"No."
"Adrien, you are not experienced enough to care for-"
"Fe you are literally 19. Im not much younger. I think I can handle her. Now listen to your wife. I'm trying to pay attention to the news and figure out what happened to my father."
Amelie chuckled at our madness. She suddenly received a phone call, picked it up, and walked out of the room.
"I don't trust you anymore than I trust Claude and Allan," Felix stated.
Bridgette sighed, "I want you to think about that-"
"Nevermind," Felix said immediately after.
I wasn't paying attention though. I was technically 15 so I could not legally inherit the company. He probably didn't even give the company to me. My father was a dangerous man and whatever he got arrested for was probably well deserved.
Still...he was my father
"-ot my fault that Claude didn't put the top on the baby formula-"
"Hey, Adrien," Bridgette interrupted, "You look conflicted. Are you ok? Do you need a hug."
"Now you've stolen my wife too. What happened to your girlfriend? The Marinette girl."
