Silent love

Prologue

                             8 YEARS AGO

                     ʚ YAQUELINE'S POV ɞ

'Do you think that we will live a normal life for one time?' I ask my brother.

We lay down on my bed together and we have some snacks. It's something that we do often, some sibling time.

'I don't think so'. He says carefully. 'You know the business that dad does. There are bad guys after him and one day one of us need to replace him'.

'Why can't Vincent take over?' I ask
'Because he isn't family'. He shrugs. 'At least not by blood'. He adds.

'What happens if we both die?' I question him.

Jacques glares at me and chuckles. 'You are always thinking too much about things. Let's just eat and watch the movie'.

'We still didn't chose the movie out'. I reply.

We heard a knock on the door. It was my father. 'Jac, can you help me for a second?'

Jacques gets up and follows my dad.

'I can help too!' I say and throw the blanket away.
Father shakes his head. 'No ma fille, it's a surprise for you'.

Father knows that I love surprises and surprises me almost every day. Today he got me a big brown teddy bear. Yesterday when we went to the store, I pointed at one and he told me that I already had one so he wouldn't buy it for me.

The next day I woke up with 2 teddy beers with roses all over them.

I smile in joyment. 'Alright but be fast. Jac and I are going to watch a movie'.
'I will be joining you two'. He smiles and closes the door.

I sat down and waited a couple minutes for them.

My room is a simple room and it's quite big. I have a bed with two nightstands on the sides.

I asked my father for the color lilac for my walls and he immediately called someone over to paint it for me.

The furniteres are all white and beige. On the right side of the room I have a desk, where I sit down and do my homework for school since my brother and I are homeschooled. We probably won't do anything with school but my father told me that it is nice to have a diploma at least.

It's better to have something then having nothing.

My brother and I will probably do some of the bad works that my father does. He knows that we are aware of it but doesn't say much about it.

Especially since he is keeping me home all the time. My brother always helps him.

Next to the windows I have a big mirror and a rack of my jackets. Next to that I have my closet. On the left side I have a room that walks into my bathroom.

The bathroom that my mother designed for me. The walls have beige tegels along with the floor. I have one white bathtub and golden faucet. The same goes for my shower, it's all white and gold.

I sign and get out of my bed.

Let's see what they are up too.

I sneak up to my fathers office tip toeing. I place my ear next to the door and hear old men bickering.

'She hasn't reached her age yet'. I heard my father say and by the sound of it, he is annoyed.
'In a couple years she is. You know the deal Mauro'. An unfamiliar voice replies.
