Ethan's POV:-

ran towards the kitchen to see what happened and as soon as I entered the kitchen ... "OH MY GOD? DAD!!??"

I shrieked in surprise finding my dad in the kitchen, looking like a walking flour mill, with a liberal dusting of powder covering every inch of him and a ... Snowstorms of powder surrounding him

Who taught Dad how to bake- a walking flour mill? ... I think Dad's trying to become a human croissant. I shrug my head, not letting my mindless meanderings win the show

I lit my head back towards dad only to burst out loud with one hand on my stomach trying to console the pain because of laughing like a maniac. But I slow down my laugh as soon as my dad shoots me a stern look

"Looks like my dad's baking skills are a bit ... Dusty" I smirk, slowly moving towards the counter in the kitchen and leaning at the counter while my back hits the edges of the counter

"Well, I was trying to bake something for us but it seems ... It all messed up badly" he lets out a deep frustrated sigh. "Yeah, your flour-covered face says it all-" before I can complete it he asks " Says what ??" I get up and wave my hands in the air forming a shape like a banner and say

Like - I'M A BAKING DISASTER

And again I burst out in laughter and this time he also let out a small chuckle but soon covered it up and made a straight face, clenching his jaw

His deep black eyes were digging in my blue eyes. Yes, black eyes even though I'm his son, but I have a different eye colour. I got these blue eyes from my mom

She also had blue eyes. She was like an angel with gorgeous beauty and beautiful ocean blue eyes which neglected her personality well. It's been years since I last saw her or heard her voice and felt her presence around me ... I miss her a lot

"I didn't know that flour, is the new fashion trend" a sarcastic voice grabs our attention, taking me out of my distracting thoughts, We turn our heads to see 'Julien' leaning against the door with a smirk playing on his lips

Julien is my younger brother, he is also studying law just like me and dad, he is like a power house to us

"Congrats Dad, this time you had done PhD in distroying the kitchen" He laughs like a maniac. Before I could react, Dad takes a roller from the nearby counter and starts hitting him

"Oh thank you dear for complimenting me, let me give you a reward" he smirks and run after him. Julien also starts running away from him " woah, sorry dad

I was just joking stop beating me , I said na I'm sorry it was just a joke" he keeps running as fast as he can. "Don't bother son, today I really want to give you a gift for your 'beautiful compliments' so stop running"

And as always I stand there and see there bickerings. They fight like small kids, no one will believe me if I say that they are father-son, I dont think they will ever stop fighting like this

I take a look in the whole kitchen and with a deep sigh, i mumble to myself "seems like, now I have to clean all this mess"



Charlotte's POV -

I'm just so exhausted that as soon as I will be back home ,I'm going to fall on the bed for sure

Right now I'm with Lia and a lawyer is sitting in front of me. He looks at me in disbelief and says " Do you really think she is alive or you are just hallucinating ?"

I slam my hand on the table and get up in rage " What do you mean? Do I look like a half mad to you? Do you even know whom you are talking to?" I shout at him

Lia immediately stands up to diffuse the tension "Charley calm down, no worries we will try with someone else but first of all we have to get out from here" she holds my hand and drags me towards the door

We stop near the car and with a deep sigh she finally turns towards me "Listen charley, we can't force someone to take our case

And also no one will take our case if we only have a statement not any proof or anything related to it cause everyone thinks that she left you and your father so after years even if you see her or she sees you that doesn't matter now"

Now I can't bear it anymore and a tear escapes from my eye tracing every corner of my cheek. I quickly wipe it away but Lia notices it and pats my shoulder

" Don't cry dear, we will go to the end of this chapter. Until or unless we solve the mystery behind it we will not take a peaceful respiration" saying this she embraces me in her arms consoling me

——————————————————

I come inside my room and throw my purse somewhere, directly launching on the bed. I take a soothing exhale and start thinking about the day and my past,I will never forget that day

How can a mother just abandon her child? and after years when she finally meets her again then again she breaks her child's heart by refusing to recognise her ... Idk why but I miss her so much even if she left me just for the sake of some money

My father's financial health was not good at that time I understand because at that time my father was loosing all the cases but now he is a well known lawyer and also I'm a famous singer now we are billionaire but still, still she doesn't want to come back. She even forgot her own daughter, How can someone be so heartless?

But it is a bit confusing, Dad told me that she left us for money then why was she wearing a patient attire? It's a bit strange

And the most strangest part is that police officers and doctors where surrounding her. But why? She is not a patient maybe something have happened to her

Accident? Disease? Injury? What would have happened to her. Ahhh, I want to find all the answers but for this I have to find a known lawyer who can solve my case without entering in my personal affairs. Where can I find him ?

I yawn thinking about it and burrow my head in the bedsheets. Just as I was about to take a nap, a ringing voice freaks me out, I take my phone to see who is it calling now, because as far as I remember I have cancelled all the plans of today

'Lia' is flashing on the screen. "Charley guess what? I found a perfect lawyer who will handle your case. Now don't worry we will go and talk to him tomorrow morning so be ready ok? Bye" she exclaimed and hung up the call

Started by her sudden words I jump from the bed and sit straight still processing her words. Finally 'dieu' listened to me thank you so much dieu, thank you so much. I just hope it goes well tomorrow

[Translation: 'dieu' means 'god' in french]
