Chapter 3: Elissa part 1

The First Year

Raoul brought Elissa to his mansion and as soon as he got in the door all the maids and butlers came over to him and Elissa.

"She's beautiful!" one of the maids said.

"Who's the mother?" a butler said.

"What's her name?" another maid asked

"Her name is Elissa, she is Christine's daughter, and both of Elissa's real parents are dead. Christine died not too long ago and her real father died before she was even born" Raoul said not bothering to mention that Elissa was a twin.

"Are you ever going to tell Elissa about her real parents?" a maid asked

"No, she is to stay sheltered from all of that, any time she asks about her mother just say she went missing" Raoul said as he looked at Elissa's blue small blue eyes, she rarely opened her eyes and when she did Raoul loved to look into them, even though they looked nothing like Christine's brown eyes Elissa's eyes reminded him so much of her.

Tears began to swell up in Raoul's eyes as he thought of Christine.

"Here one of you please hold her," Raoul said as he handed Elissa over to a maid and ran off.

The next day Raoul woke up to Elissa's screams and cries, he ran over to her nursery and held her not caring that there was a nanny for her to do that, he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible.

"It's ok Elissa," he said softly as he rocked her lightly.

After a few minutes Elissa fell asleep in his arms and he fell asleep in the rocking chair that was set in the nursery.

A few months later Elissa was almost one year old, and she was quite capable of walking as long as somebody was holding her hand, and she could talk a little but one thing that always puzzled her was when she was being pushed in a baby buggy on the street with her father and she saw children walking with women and calling the woman mommy, she was confused on what a mommy was.

One day when Elissa got home she crawled over to Raoul's office and went inside.

"Daddy" Elissa said

Raoul turned away from his papers and saw Elissa sitting on the floor of his office; he picked her up and set her on his lap.

"What's wrong Little Lotte" Raoul asked Elissa remembering when Christine was alive and he called her that.

"Daddy whe naie puhs me in da bug I see oder kihs wawking wit a woma dey caw mommy…whas a mommy an do I ave a mommy?" Elissa asked

"A mommy is a woman who watches the kids and is a wife to the daddy, you have a mommy, but she left after you were born because she didn't want newspapers to come after her and ask her questions about you and her life with daddy" Raoul answered with a lie

Elissa nodded quietly and left her father's office as soon as Raoul put her on the floor.

"Tank you daddy, I wuv you" Elissa said as she left the room.

Raoul smiled as he heard that.

"Daddy…I love that word, if only Christine were around, I wouldn't have to lie to her like that." Raoul said with a sigh as he got back to work.
