Tedious. Intimidating. Weird.
All reasons why Mira Lemaire thought she hasn't
been in a relationship. She's already 21 and all her mother does is nag about her not having a significant other or a successful career. And having a sister who has ever...

I stared at the ceiling and thought how different my life would be if my parents where still together, I wouldn't constantly be compared to my sister.
Ever since my dad left to live back in France, I feel like I'm the odd one out. I don't feel like I belong here, I mean my own mother is telling me to get my shit together.
My phone all of a sudden started to buzz like crazy. As I pick it up, I see that my dad is blowing up my phone.
I turn around hearing my phone ring, as I pick it up, I see that it's my dad.
Him: "Hello?"
Mira: "Hey papa! Are you okay?", I ask.
Him: "Yeah, it was just little Ella running around", he says a little bit out of breath.
Mira: "Ohhh", I reply giggling.
Him: "I miss you chéri" (Translation- Darling)
Mira: "Tu me manques aussi papa, je manque d'avoir quelqu'un avec qui je pourrais parler" (Translation- I miss you too dad, I miss having someone who I could talk to)
Him: "You should come visit me, in that way you could meet your frère, sœur and belle-mère" (Translation- Brother, sister and stepmom)
Mira: "That would be great!", I excitedly say.
Him: "You can come and stay here in my house, or I could let you stay in one of our villas!!", he says thrillingly.
Mira: "It's alright dad, I don't want to pride in. So I'll just stay at one of the villas",
Him: "When will you buy your flight? And don't worry about speaking to your mother, we've been planning this for a while"
Mira: "Ohh okay! I'm going to start looking at them right now, I'll text you all the details later papa", I respond while taking out my laptop.
Him: "Alright mon ange, je t'aime" (Translation- My angel, I love you)
Mira: "I love you too, au revoir"
Him: "Au revoir sweetie"
*End of phone call*
As you can see, my parents are separated. Let me start all the way from the beginning. My mother, Mariana Álvarez immigrated from Spain to America when she was 3 years old, along side with her family. When she was 17, she was accepted into Stanford University. She met my father Marquis Lemaire who had came from France in her first year, and from there, they just hit it off.
Everyone calls there the it-couple, they were like Brad and Angelina. (A/N The irony😭) My father who was the heir of Lamaire Corps., and my mother who was favored by everyone. They finished college, got married, then had my sister and I.
When I was 10 years old, they got divorced. Nobody cheated, no one did anything harmful, they just fell out of love. And it wasn't easy for Rome & I considering he left back to France. And that was the last time I saw my father in person.
Going back was probably the best decision he made. He became the CEO of the company his great, great-grandfather passed down. He got married to an amazing woman and has two little kids. My mother became a journalist after her modeling days were over, and that's where Rome picked up her modeling career. And me? I'm basically a nobody with no type of talent.
I sat up opening my laptop to search for flights. I'll be getting on a plane 2 days from now. I pick up my phone and texted my dad everything. I plugged my phone in and drifted away into sleep.
