Chapter 1

It was exactly eighteen o'clock when the two sixteen-year-old teenagers living in Paris, Aurelie Reaugardier and her boyfriend Adrien Martin, arrived at Aurelie's house. They loved each other very much and had been one heart and one soul for a year. No one should or could destroy their bond and now they had been for a walk together at the Eiffel Tower. "Thank you for taking me home, Adrien," Aurelie said with a big smile on her face and Adrien smiled back. Every time Aurelie smiled, she infected those around her with it. "I'd love to," Adrien replied and they walked arm in arm to Aurelie's front door. They were currently standing in the small garden in front of her house and they didn't want to spoil the good mood. Whenever Adrien brought Aurelie home, Aurelie's twin sister Amelie, who was ten minutes older and the opposite of Aurelie, opened the door for them. She was scheming, mean, ruthless, selfish and also had her eye on the sweet, friendly and charming Adrien. Aurelie didn't know anything about it, however, as her sister hid her admiration for him well. Amelie was a pro when it came to lying or covering up, and she had proven that time and again in the past. She had often blamed her classmates when she herself had done something wrong and had always turned it around so that they were punished. Since then, she had done it again and again and enjoyed it when she lied and made others suffer. It gave her the validation and power she needed and it was the same with Aurelie. She was jealous of her because she had her Adrien and a perfect relationship with him. However, it was no wonder that Amelie emulated them and liked him too, as he was Aurelie's absolute prince charming and never did anything wrong. Amelie could only be jealous. Now Adrien rang the doorbell for his girlfriend and Aurelie remembered that her sister would probably answer the door. Why had she forgotten her key again! All she had to do was pocket it quickly and then they would be spared the meeting with Amelie! How annoying! Her happiness sank slightly and she looked at Adrien accordingly. "What's wrong?" he asked, a little worried, and touched her gently on the arm. Aurelie loved his care and direct attention to her well-being and she was able to smile slightly again. "Well, you know who opened up to us the last few times, and that was another absolute mood killer," Aurelie revealed, pressing her eyebrows together unhappily. She could already see Amelie's venomous expression and it sent an icy shiver down her spine. Hopefully someone else will open today, she thought, and her friend understood her. "Yes, I know that, but just ignore your sister. Look, we really did have a wonderful day at the Eiffel Tower, and we don't want to let it spoil our mood. Especially not from Amelie," Adrien emphasized again and his girlfriend kissed him on the lips. "What was that for?" Aurelie smiled broadly and quickly answered his question: "For you. You're great." Adrien managed to cheer her up again and again and the joy in her gradually returned. She was very lucky to have him and she appreciated his attention. "Thank you," he grinned and blushed, because Aurelie's compliments and affirmations did him good and he knew that he was doing everything right. After all, it was more important to him than anything else that Aurelie was happy and that he was helping her. But before the two lovebirds could continue laughing, someone hurriedly opened the door for them. They were startled, but to their surprise, it wasn't Amelie who opened the door. It was Aurelie's father, François Reaugardier, who was on the phone while opening the door and made a hand gesture that said something like "Come in". Aurelie and Adrien nodded to thank him and Adrien waved to his father-in-law. He and François got on very well and François had immediately welcomed him into the family when Aurelie had introduced him a year ago. "Yes, yes, of course that's a problem, YES!" they heard Aurelie's father shout in annoyance until he disappeared into the dining room, which was directly to the left of the rectangular front door. The couple looked at each other in amazement and at the same time wondered what was upsetting the fifty-year-old. They certainly didn't want to talk to him about it, as François often snapped when he had problems and then had to talk about them. So Aurelie whispered: "Would you like to come to my room and accompany me to Leona's or would you like to go home already?" Leona Flamant and Marie Claude were her best friends and the three of them were inseparable. That evening, however, Aurelie was invited to her house alone because they wanted to have a movie night and Marie couldn't make it because she had an appointment with her boyfriend Vincent, who was also Adrien's best friend. After thinking about it for a moment, Adrien wanted to give his girlfriend an answer and felt bad when he realized that he had an important meeting with his parents Claudette and Olivier. He just didn't know what they wanted to talk to him about, but he couldn't turn them down either, as he always wanted to please everyone and not disappoint anyone. "I'm really, really sorry, darling, but I have to go home now because mom and dad want to talk to me about something important. I really would have liked to take you to Leona, but you know I can't say no because I..." Adrien always found it very difficult to explain himself, as he was always looking for the perfect words so as not to offend anyone, but Aurelie understood him and touched him lightly on the cheek, which stopped him. "Hey, it's all right. If your parents need you, so be it. I'll manage the few meters on my own," Aurelie assured him and gave him a supportive smile, which quickly made him feel better. Adrien was reassured that she didn't hold it against him and expressed it immediately. "Okay. Then I'd go back home now and leave you alone. It's a shame that our paths go in exactly the opposite direction, otherwise we could at least walk together until then. But now I really have to go. See you tomorrow Aurelie, have fun at Leona's and don't go to bed too late," he said and Aurelie laughed heartily. "Thank you and don't worry. We'll fall asleep after an hour at the movie anyway," Aurelie guessed and Adrien kissed her on the forehead. "All right then. Au revoir, my heart," he said and left. "Au revoir!" she called after him and closed the front door. She stood in front of the door for a while, smiling and exhaling loudly, while Adrien went home to his waiting parents. Typical Adrien thought Aurelie. He was caring and perfect in everything he did. Sometimes he almost acted like her father when he gave her advice, but she didn't mind because she preferred to get it from him rather than from her father. When François told her what she should and shouldn't do, she quickly got annoyed, but when Adrien did, she listened to him and smiled. Adrien was very special to her and she never wanted to lose him. She had never felt so strongly connected to a boy before. Mostly it was just crushes or admiration, but when she met Adrien the previous year, everything was different. It was during a protest against violence near the Louvre and when Adrien approached her, she instantly fell in love with him. He was just as perfect then as he is now and he had wavy brown hair and bright blue eyes that always reminded Aurelie of the ocean. Aurelie still had chest-length brown hair at the time, but now she had a long chocolate-brown mane that reached down to her hips and was tied back with a dark green hairband. It matched her eyes perfectly and because her hair wasn't in the way, her small round face was well emphasized and everyone saw her little snub nose, the fir green eyes and the full lips. Amelie, on the other hand, didn't look like that at all, even though she was her twin sister. Their faces were very similar, although Amelie's eyes were brown. The biggest difference was that Amelie's hair wasn't as voluminous and was only shoulder-length and her forehead was covered by bangs. This meant that everyone could tell them apart and there was no confusion. But now Aurelie wanted to get going again. She just had to let her father know somehow that she had an appointment. She was aware that she couldn't shout at him now because she would disturb his phone call. So she decided to quickly run to her room to write him a note and then stick it on the dining room door. That way he would see her message immediately. The long wooden staircase that was right outside the front door and led to the bathroom and the family bedrooms was winding and you always had to turn when you walked up the steps. So she climbed the steps and arrived in the upstairs hallway, the walls of which were decorated with lots of family pictures. Some of the pictures featured Younes, the twin sisters' older brother. Younes was twenty-five years old and had moved out four years ago when he completed his training as a policeman. Since then he had lived in central Paris and his sisters only heard from him once a week as he was always quite busy. He was also a girl crush. Every week there was another girl who approached him on the street when he was carrying out his official checks, but the black curly-haired man with the dark brown eyes ignored her and conveyed anew each time that he wasn't interested in flirting. Younes was more of a loner because he believed that he could cope better on his own and that women would only cause him problems. Aurelie looked at the pictures for a moment and smiled. She and Amelie hadn't had much time with him when they were little, but Aurelie made an effort to keep in touch with her brother, who was nine years older. She crept along the long corridor until she finally reached her room. It was the last room and she always had to walk ten meters to reach it. She went into the small room, which was quite...
