Chapter 2

Six days later Gabriel Agreste was being conducted through Paris to a cemetery and was dropped off by the driver, which waited inside the vehicle while the man got into the plot passing by several tombstones of deceased persons.

Gabriel held on his hands a small bouquet and a candle on the other hand, then moved up to the next level of the cemetery, then continued his way, afterward he stopped in front of a tombstone. He went down on his knees to look at the engraving and the image beside it, which was from his former assistant from his house Nathalie Sancoeur. Gabriel placed his bouquet down, then took from his trouser's pockets a lighter to light the candle on and placed it nearer to the stone, so it wouldn't be too close to the flowers to avoid a fire.

"Nathalie…..I listened to your words and told Emilie as you said to me I should too, that you were the one who came up with the idea of akumatizing the many citizens around Paris to get her back. I felt like if I said the truth it wouldn't end well for us…..You have been a really great friend and listener to me during the past few years. I wish, there would have been another way to bring Emilie back without you having to give up your life for her. I think no friend would have made such a thing for another friend. You were indeed a great person. I hope Adrien will be back soon, cause his mother really needs to see him so badly after all these years. I believe he's going to be so excited about it and so will Emilie. Sadly, you're not there anymore to witness our family face the happy times we used to have before, what happened to Emilie with the miraculous" Gabriel spoke in front of the grave going on silent for a minute, then he got up from the ground taking one last look at the grave. Gabriel sank his head, then moved further leaving the place to get back to the vehicle, where the bodyguard sat waiting for him.

Adrien and Kagami were on their last day of the honeymoon spending the time together in the Maldives on a private vacation island. After various interesting activities and sports, the two had agreed on having a relaxing last evening together, by joining a few other couples and adults on a movie night under the starry night.

The newly-wed couple sat both together in their swim clothing over the water on a swimming air mattress with soft drinks in the middle of the water lined up with other persons looking towards a large screen, that stood on a swimming platform showing an advertisement of a driving vehicle.

"The days passed by so fast" Adrien mentioned earning a nod from his wife. "How is this possible?"

"I don't know" Kagami answered taking a sip through the straw. "Those days here have been really fun. I really never had so much fun on a vacation as I had today"

"I really enjoyed the number of activities and sports we could do here. I hadn't thought we could be able to do fencing too" The blonde mentioned. "I didn't have fencing for a long while, but you still can kick other people's ass as you did in the past"

"Well before we met again on that airplane in Paris a few months before I took a break from fencing to get prepared for the future I initially was going to have. I think after a year or two my mother said it would be fine to get back, 'cause that's what she did after she married my father,"

"This of following her steps one by one, just like she did in the past really was an awful thing to do. I'm really glad you didn't follow her orders, but your own heart,"

"Thank god I did so" Kagami answered. "All thanks to you"

"You don't need to thank me. I just wanted to make sure you would have a better life than the one your mother planned. Even if it meant you would not be in my life anymore"

"And I saw, that you would" Kagami pointed out grabbing the husband on the arm leaning her face on his shoulder. "Thanks for coming back"

Adrien pecked Kagami on her cheek, then looked at the transparent plastic purse, where the two had their smartphones protected from the water, then Adrien chuckled earning a curious gaze from the woman.

"What's so funny?"

"I just remembered I rarely used my smartphone during our time here. I did not even post any images of our moments here" Adrien said watching Kagami open the purse to take out his smartphone to hand it out to him.

"I thought you had taken pictures"

"Yeah, but I didn't post them" Adrien mentioned unlocking the smartphone to see on the display a picture of him together with Kagami, Nino and Alya on the top of the Tokyo tower with the sight over the Japanese capital.

"You've got a message there" Kagami pointed out, then Adrien pressed on the green icon to see it was from his best friend Nino and the message was sent almost a week ago.

"He sent me a picture" Adrien mentioned looking at Kagami, which had fished out from her drink a cherry to eat it, then she looked back at the blonde which widened his eyes at seeing the image Nino sent.

"Did he sent you something inappropriate again?" Kagami asked making Adrien shake his head.

"My mother" Adrien responded showing Kagami the picture, where his mother stood there with his father and Nino which held his thumb up. "Could this really be her?" Adrien asked looking at Kagami, which shrugged her shoulders. "It's not the first time I feel tricked out and it is, in the end, my aunt Amelie"
"Maybe you should ask him or your father?" Kagami suggested. "Just to be sure"

"I shouldn't jump into any conclusions before I'm back in Paris to make sure it's her or not" Adrien stated. "It could really be my mother or it could just be a diversion to get me back into my father's house. Remember the birthday party he organized for me for my 21st birthday and he had spent the whole day trying to convince me to get into his house again?"

"Yes I do" Kagami responded. "Why don't you call Nino and ask him about it?"

"Uh I think he's at the work on this moment" Adrien mentioned. "I have time to ask him tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when we're back in France...After all, I promised Mrs. Agreste that I would have my full attention on her" Adrien told with a wink making Kagami chuckle, then Adrien leaned in for a kiss, afterward they tipped over into the water, followed by their smartphones. Both appeared on the surface, then Adrien shrugged his shoulder at his mishap, then Kagami swam into his arms to embrace him, which he gladly accepts and leans his chin over her head.
