Cosette and her mysterious father arrived to their apartment at Rue d'l' Homme Armé, an hour after leaving their house.

The first thing she did when she arrived at the apartment was: lock on her room to think about her own selfish idea. Her father decided to leave. Now what? Even though Marius pretended to be poor she knew that he was a man who had lots of money, enough to give her all what she wanted whenever she wanted, he confessed that to her the day they met. Love him? Oh please! He is so stupid! She thought and laughed of that man that gave her his heart with no condition but she on her selfish ideas couldn't see the horrible person she was. The only thing Cosette was after was his money. In fact, she had money, her father has money, but he was just wasting it with miserable poor people that didn't worth it, and because of that, maybe one day there would be no more money. But she couldn't forbid her father to be charitable and that was the only thing she hated about living with him.

But… why did she think that way? She seemed to be so innocent, so good, and so generous. Well… she wasn't like that. She was ambitious and she wanted more, but she liked to act as a generous girl because she didn't want that her father discovered her and leave her as she started: as a miserable girl with nothing.

Let's explain how the innocent girl became a bitch with no pity: she was an ugly girl and she was a sweetheart, she loved her father and loved her life. But then the beauty came to her. Since the moment she saw herself in the mirror and she saw a pretty face and body, the ambition and the cruelty came as a meteor. Every man was starting to stare at her and her body, especially this man at Luxemburg… that poor miserable…. Ha! She would never be with a man like that, but then… she started seeing that man every day, but he was dressed pretty well, he seemed to be rich, and he seemed to have feelings for her. That's when she had an idea, she would make him fall in love with her and then, maybe they would be married and she could leave her father with no regrets and her father would be happy by giving all his money to charity while she was having everything she wanted. Everything was so perfect when that man, Marius found her and confessed her he loved her, her plans were getting better. But then her father ruined her happiness.

She moaned disgusted and she kicked her bed.

Soon, her father knocked the door and got into the room.

"What's wrong, my child? You seem to me so sad and angry so…" he couldn't find another word to describe the actions of his daughter "I don't know what is happening to you, tell me my beautiful daughter" he said with his kindly voice, approaching her.

Cosette stood up, and moved away her father; she couldn't look at his face. She was totally disconcerted because of the whole thing about moving away to England.

"Why so sudden you decide that we must leave, papa? Why this strange way I can't understand? Why right now when I am…" she realized that she was about to confess her mean purposes with Marius and her voice turned off. "…When I am so happy here in France? What are you hiding from me? I want to know papa, please, tell me" she begged acting like if she was desperate, touching her father's chest.

The mysterious Fauchelevent stayed quiet, he had a big secret he didn't want to tell, one secret that forced him to keep quiet and to hide forever, the reader surely already know this secret, and that's why, we are not going to remark it with too much detail, the only thing we can say is that Fauchelevent's true name was Jean Valjean and he was an ex-convict who was in jail for 20 years because he stole a loaf of breath.

"No more words Cosette, enough, we're leaving"

Having said that, Valjean left Cosette's room and left the apartment to have a small walk to calm down.

Cosette didn't know what to say after her father's attitudes. Who did he thinks he is?! A time long ago when she was innocent and stupid, she didn't care about running and constantly moving out of houses, she was happy. But she wasn't a child anymore, and, besides, she had interests now as it was the one of having more and more money without really caring who she was going to destroy.

She was in deep meditation for a big while until, she had a huge idea: England! Better idea! Why she didn't think like that before? Oh God! In England there were more rich men that would surely felt for her beauty in any moment, many men that desperate would ask for her hand, and many men that surely would wish her as a woman. It was perfect! She left her room and looked for her father, but he wasn't there because as I said before, he went for a walk. She found a piece of paper on the floor and for curiosity she read it. It was a letter from Marius to her.

Dearest Cosette:

My heart is yours and soon you will be gone. How can I live when we are going to be parted? Life without you means nothing. I may felt on the barricade, so this is may be my goodbye. I know that you love me too as much as I do. You are going to England I know, and I promise: if I survive, I am going to look for you until I find you, because you are everything to me, Cosette. Pray for me as I do for you. I know that if I survive, God will find a way to get us together. I love you.

Your Marius

Aww… such a kiutie, Cosette thought laughing again of him and his stupid romanticism. Perfect he is going to die on the battle! Everything is so perfect; he won't be a problem to me then.

She bit her lip, with a mean smile and then, she went back to her room, to speculate all her new plans for the new country.

She lay back on her bed and started to play with her first porcelain doll, laughing and laughing about that stupid Marius Pontmercy.

Two hours passed but she didn't listened her father's return, so she got worried, not about him, but about her plans.

"Papa? Papa where are you?" she got out of her room and looked for him around all the apartment, but she couldn't found him.
