"Oui père, I have heard this story a hundred times before". I chuckle.
"And I will tell you it a hundred times more". He replies. "Take care of him and yourself alright? I will see you soon. Je t'aime".

"I will. Je t'aime". I reply and he hangs up.

Jacques and I moved to Monaco a couple years ago. After some incidents that happened in my life he thought that it was better to live somewhere else. A place that no one will find us.

A place far away from my father.

It was my fathers idea. We didn't want to leave him behind in Marseille but we had no choice. After our house burned down we moved from Paris to Marseille. Father build for himself his house, bigger then the last one. We lost our mother that night.

We still don't have an idea of how it happened. Did someone started a fire? Or was it by accident? We have no idea and we stopped searching for it. Well at least my father stopped, it has been 8 years. He says that it's a dead end. It won't get us nowhere. If you couldn't find the cause years ago why now?

A part of me agrees with him. Why would we suddenly find the answer now after 8 years? But again this is about my mother. If there is one thing that she taught me, that was to never give up. My mother didn't deserve an end like this and I will make sure that the person who started it will have a worse faith then her.

Jacques and I are 100% sure that someone started the fire but we don't know who it could be.

First we though that it could be Vincent but he was back a couple weeks before that. He didn't want to us to see his bad state because we would be worried about him, that's what our father told us.

"He told you to take care of me didn't he?" Jac walks in.
I nod my head. "Where is Divine?'"

"I'm here!" She yelled and came into the room. I got up and went in for a tight hug. "It's so good to see you again". Divine is Jacques girlfriend. They have been together for 5 years. They were our neighbors when we just moved.

But now her parents moved back to Italy. Divine and her brother Seth were adopted. They are originally from Etopia. They met through Seth. He works for my father, unlike their parents he doesn't want to do anything with the Italians.

The Italians killed their parents.

Then they got adopted by Italians.

The irony.

Yeah imagine the realization when they found out that they were Italians. But they love their parents more then anything. I have met them too and they are wonderful people. They are truly blessed to be adopted by them.

Divine is 18 years old, Jacques is a couple months older than her. She looks like a model. She is 5'10 and has a lean body. She has beautiful dark skin. I love her natural Afro curly hair but she always wears wig. This time she went with a light brown wig. It suits her and looks good with her big brown eyes, it makes them pop out.

She is obsessed with jewelry, especially with diamonds.

"I probably should move back to my old house". Divine says.
We sit down on the couch. "You definitely should. I want to wake up and open my window, and jump right into your room".

She chuckles. "Those were fun memories".

"Or the time that Jack fell down and broke his leg. I never saw father more dissapointent than that". I laugh at him.
