After I finished changing in our hotel room I walked out and saw Gustave playing with his new toy. 
"What are you playing with darling?"
He looked up to me and smiled
"It's a music box Mother, look at how it sings.."
I kneeled next to him as he turned the spring. As it lit up and started to play, the melody was extremely familiar tune that I can't put my finger on. As I looked at the mysterious toy Raoul walked in.
"Father look at this new music box, will you play with me?"
"Not now Gustave, I have to talk with your mother.." he turned to me. "Alone."
I nodded then looked at Gustave.
"Come on darling let's get you ready for bed."
"Yes mother."
He said standing up and taking my hand.

We both walked into another room and I made his bed and put his toy on the dresser as he changed his clothes.
"Mother?"
"Yes."
I asked picking him up and tucking him in the bed.
"Why does father never play with me? Does he love me.."
He said quietly. I looked at him sadly.
"O darling, he loves you very much. Sometimes it hard for him to show it. Me and your father love you very much, never doubt it my darling."
He smiled and nodded.
"Now time for bed, I'll wake you in the morning."
"Alright goodnight mother." He yawned.
"Goodnight Gustave.." I kissed his head softly and walked out of his room. Before I closed the door I made sure he was fast asleep.

"What is it Raoul?" I said walking in the main room. He was sitting in a chair with a glass of whisky in his hand.
"Mother and father died.."
"What?!" I said shocked walking over to his side.
"My mother and father passed during our journey here. I'm now the head of the DcChanty family."
He smiled and looked at me.
"We won't have to worry about money anymore, you could finally stop preforming. We could settle in France."
I looked at his happy expression and looked away sadly.
"What's that matter darling?"
He asked.
"It's wonderful but you know how I love to preform."
I said standing and walking over to the piano.
He stood up and walked over to me.
"Come on Christine, we both know that this singing was only temporary."
I turned to face him.
"How could you say that! You know singing has been my entire world since my father died."
He grabbed my shoulders and shook me violently.
"Music is not your world Christine, I am! Our family is what should be your focus not your voice!"
I looked at him frightened.
"Raoul let me go! Help me! Someone!"
He put his hand over my mouth.
"No one is coming for you Christine, no can love you like I did."
He threw me to the ground and my head hit the floor hard.
"I need another drink."
He said leaving our room and slamming the door behind him.

I put my head in my hands a cried softly,
"Why did you leave me.."
"I didn't."
