Angie finally heard that Count Monte Cristo, the person her son was talking about since he came back from his trip has finally arrived so as soon as her husband get back from his meeting they headed to see the visitor together.
When they were going Albert and the visitor came to them.
First Angie didn't look up, but when she did her eyes immediately met the count's which made her freeze for a few seconds.
His eyes were warm brown.
He was tall and really pale, with black and kinda long hair and beard.
They didn't break eye contact for another 2 long minutes which felt like hours for both of them...
But then the count broke it and bowed slightly.
- It's nice to finally meet you! - said Fernand as he went to shake hands with the count immediately - You saved the most precious thing in our lives! Well... Person... But you know what I meant.
- It's nothing you should be too worried about - the count replied - It was a pleasure to save him.
Fernand laughed.
- By the was my name is Fe---
- Fernand de Morcerf - Monte Cristo cut him off - General... To be exact.
- Yes... - Fernand muttered - Uh...
He was way too surprised by the way the count was talking that he completely forgot to speak himself.
- And I'm Angeles - Angie continued so her husband didn't seem that awkward.
Monte Cristo didn't make eye contact with her anymore as he was already shaking by it, but he took her hand and kissed it.
- Nice to meet you - he added.
Angeles was speechless.
The man's behaviour was strangely familiar to her, but she couldn't recall who exactly.
It made her confused and somehow her heard beat way faster than it usually does.
His eyes showed sadness... Atleast this is what she saw in his eyes, but nobody noticed it.
She felt like she knows him from way before...
But from where?
----- TIME SKIP -----
A few hours of talking and having a good time with the Morcerf family Monte Cristo's assistant, Ramallo came into the room, interrupting them.
- Excuse me, but we need to go - he said - We still have a lot to take care about.
- Alright, Ramallo - sighed the count ad he stood up - Then excuse me everybody... But thank you for having me here today.
- Will we meet again soon? - asked Albert.
- Since I'm gonna move to Paris for a while I'm sure we'll see each other quite often.
For some reason this made Angie smile which the count noticed too.
- So have a nice day - the count finished and with that him and Ramallo headed out.
----- TIME SKIP -----
- Nice save, Ramallo... - said Monte Cristo - I don't know how long I could stay there.
- I just told them the truth - Ramallo replied.
- I know...
I think by now I don't need to explain who Count Monte Cristo really is, but if it hasn't been clear yet...
It's German.
- Angie... How could you marry that murderer... - German sighed deeply as by now he was so upset.
He just had to let it out.
- Are you okay? - Ramallo asked as he was pretty worried about German.
He wasn't only his assistant, but his closest friend as well that has been by his side for a while now.
- I'm okay, Ramallo - German replied - I just have to get through my heart ache and I'll be fine.
- Don't you want to tell her who you are?
- Not yet. I don't even know if she loves him, or if she even still remembers me, or not.
- I see - Ramallo sighed.
- I still have a lot to take care about...
Ramallo nodded.
- But before that...
- Hm?
- I need to have some rest! I haven't slept for 2 days!
German tried to stay cheerful, but he couldn't fully be happy.
Seeing his love with someone else broke him down, even though he already knew about it.
