(Another A/N If you are confused after this chapter, then just hang in there, I will explain later, and NOOOOOOOOO! Rene was not just his rebound. You will see.)

Chapter 12- Erik!

Erik had known that his son would get the part, if not for talent then for the manager's pure dread of the wrath of the Phantom of the Opera. He watched from the trapdoor behind the manger's desk. He had heard Dominique sing several times, but never with this type of passion. He knew it must have something to do with the young Miss Chagny. This was well. She was his connection. She would help him, and she would do it willingly.
