"Did he seduce you?" "What? No, he never could. He was an way too honorable man for that. He asked me for consent. And I said yes.", I defended him.
"GUARDS! Bring me prisoner 24602!", he yelled.

My heart broke when I saw my dear Alexandre. His face was pale, his lip was bleeding, his eyes didn't glow anymore. "Courfeyrac!", I said, running to him. The guards held me back. "Stop, let me go to him." I fought with all my strength. But unfortunately, I lost.

"Fey, are you alright?" Although I knew his answer, he flashed me a big smile. "Don't worry Emilia, I am alright. Are you?" "SHUSH prisoner, you remain silent.", my father said. "Let him go. He has done no wrong.", I begged.

"He is a traitor. And he will face the consequences." "We had an agreement." "What agreement? Emilia? What have you done?", he asked. "Emilia has declared herself to free you boys, but she'll stay.", my father said. "Emilia, please don't play the hero, please.", he said.

Café Musain was very busy at the moment. Madame had gotten sick. "Can we help?", Combeferre asked. "No, you can't. Take care of Madame, okay?", I asked in a hurry. "Yeah, sure, it's alright.", Combeferre said before entering the private part of Musain.

People left and I was exhausted. I was very tired but now I had to clean the Café up for tomorrow. The Café was open from 6am - 6pm. I started sweeping the floor when I dropped the broom. I haven't seen Courfeyrac for weeks now and I kinda started missing him. Wait, missing him? Oh no. I couldn't possibly love someone who wanted to kill my father. Although, now that I think about it......

No, I can't. Emilia stop thinking about that! I tried thinking of something different and I succeeded. I'm gonna admit, I really liked him and I loved the way he made me feel whenever we were together. I had realized that I had finished cleaning the Café. I put the broom back to where it belonged and made my way up to my room.

I don't remember much about that night because I fell asleep even before my head hit the pillow.

I woke up with headaches. I slowly got up and got ready for the day. I walked down the stairs to see Madame taking care of Courfeyrac. He looked different. He looked serious, even mad. "Good morning Madame, Courfeyrac.", I said with my cheery voice. Madame replied with a smile and Courfeyrac looked at me as if he was about to kill me.

"What? Have I done something?", I asked him. My smile disappeared. "Could you stop talking to me?", he snapped. My eyes widened in surprise. Madame looked at me shocked. I mumbled a 'sure' and did what I always did in the morning. "Emilia, I have to go to the market, could you please stay behind the counter? I'll be back soon.", she called out to me. She held her basket in her hand and left after I nodded.

"It's so good to see you again." "Yeah, whatever.", he said. "What's wrong? You're different. Bad day?", I asked. "Listen, I don't know what you want from me. Leave me alone.", he snapped again. "I wanna know what's going on!", I snapped back.

"Listen, you were good for a fuck but that's it. Nothing more, nothing less.", he said. My heart broke into a million of pieces. "Does that mean you used me?", I asked. I was on the verge of tears. "Of course.", he said. That was it. I took of my apron and gently put it on the counter. Then I ran to behind the bar and my tears spilled out. I was so heartbroken.

How could I be so stupid? Why would he even like you? I could see Madame coming through the door. She saw me and walked up to me. Courfeyrac had left already. "Oh my dear, what's going on?" "Courfeyrac used me. I should've known.", I said. "Oh dear, I will make him regret everything he has ever done in his life."

"No Madame, I had it coming. I mean, why would he even look at me if it wasn't for sex?", I asked. "Oh no, Emilia, you are beautiful. I didn't take care of for so long just to get your beautiful and kind heart broken by some man so quickly.", she said.

I never was more thankful for all she had done. She was the most amazing person in my life. My role model, the mother that I never had.

(A/N: oh oh what is going on with Courfeyrac? Any predictions??? I will reveal the answer soon. Leave your thoughts on this chapter below ♡)
