BETTER TOGETHER

Chapter 3

you  both always brought light to  my world  and now when I am gone I don't want you guys to cry and stop living your life , I want you both to live your life the way we always imagined even if I am not there and now ,you have your father and brother's  with you this time will pass too but never stop living your life , I am sorry I will  not be there to see you Amirah  becoming the best physist and Amir I am sorry for all the your Rugby matches that I would miss and for not seeing you getting more and more better at jiu-jitsu , but you have to promise me to always protect your sister and don't shut yourself just be the same Outgoing,  cheerful boy as you are
" So now  when tomorrow starts without Me don't think we are far apart,  for every time you think about me , Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep ,I  am a thousand winds that blow 
I am the soft stars that shine at night, I  am not there. I did not die , don't think we're far apart , for every time you think about me I am right there In your heart "

Lot's of love ,
votre maman
( your mamma )

She ended the  last sentence crying,  and Amir and Amirah broke down completely after listening to this and I couldn't take it more ,I just went to both of them and hugged them tightly and I could  feel tears pooling out of my own eyes and both of them hugged me back,  and I felt like I got a  piece of my heart back , finally after 16 years I felt complete,  though I lost love of my life I knew I need to be  strong for my   seven kids , then I finally spoke to both of them

" I never knew about you both but if I knew about you , I would've came to get you both and your mother but never forget this , tu eres mi principe y mi princesa , los amo tanto a los dos  ( you are my prince and princess,  I love you both so much ) .

They didn't said anything but squeezed me and hugged me more tightly

" So you are our father  and you are Alive " both of them spoke together breaking our hug earning chuckles from all of us and I  just nodded looking at them unable to form any words.

Our emotional moment was interrupted by mariè " it's nice to meet you  Mr Valdez I wish  the circumstances were different,  I am Mariè Adam my mother and Audra's mother were best friends I met you both at Audra's mother's  funeral in London "  and then it clicked where I saw her , Audra's mother's was from France and she left everything behind when she got married and didn't made contact with anyone to keep them away from Mafia world , but on her funeral her best friend came with her daughter and Audra may have contacted mariè since we would have  never even imagined that she would be here in France all the time .

"Yes I remember I believe she contacted you after she left Spain,  thank you so much for being there with my wife and kids , I owe  this to you "

" you don't owe me anything she was my best friend and I did what any friend would have done at that time , now all papers are sorted you just need to sign some papers to get full custody of Amir and Amirah and also there is something that I need to tell you about Audra's will "

" yes what is it "  I replied

" so in her will she said that all her properties around the world would be equally disturbuted to all her seven kids and she wants all of them to hold equal shares in her clothing brand  Encore
And she wanted her eldest son Darius to handle all the properties and shares of his siblings who are not 18 yet and she has left the house in which they were living for you Mr Valdez  , so do you want to ask anything "
Hearing this I was not surprised,  because I knew no matter what happens Audra Loves all of our kids and she always saw Darius as more responsible one.

" so she is esme andrè , the owner of encore , that's why she never revealed her face in public right " Darius spoke , I knew he always do analysis in  all situations very carefully

"Yes , she created it when she came to France and worked really hard for this but she never revealed her real identity , I always represented her in public events and meetings"

"Sounds like her " Azriel whispered to himself but I heard it

"Thank you mariè for everything,  and I really want you to handle our mother's  brand as you were doing before and we'll always check upon it , that is only if you want it " Darius spoke in his boss voice , that boy never let's his guard down but he learned this  from me,and specially after their mother's disaapreance everyone changed and it was his way to grieve.

" I will don't worry this is very important for me as well , I will always keep you updated about it , but now let's do all the paperwork "

(After the paperwork , outside the station: )

We did all the paperwork,  meanwhile Amir and Amirah didn't spoke anything,  they were just holding each other , and everyone understood it that  they need time to process everything  .
Now we are standing outside , Amir and Amirah are bidding goodbye to mariè because we are leaving in two days, now we are going to there house to pack their things and Amir and Amirah  told us we can live there till then , and while signing the papers mariè gave me a letter that was from Audra to me and our 5 eldest sons and she told me to open the letter without Amir and Amirah .

" now I want you guys to behave and call me everyday,  and eat properly and don't cause much trouble and ....." Her rambling was cut short by Amir and Amirah hugging her

" We will , don't worry about us take care of yourself and we'll miss you " they both spoke the last sentence with cracking voice

" now shoo , off you go my munchkins,  I love you both " she said kissing their head

The twins returned her gesture,  and now we are sitting in our limousine after the emotional goodbye and the silence was broken by Amirah

" Mom always  wanted to be buried in her homeland London in the same place as her mother's,  can we do that ? " and this left all of us shocked and all of us except the twins spoke together

" WHAT "
