Chapter 4 : legacy

The rain fell on everyone's faces at the funeral of Diana's three fathers. The gaze of the little girl, barely four years old, is empty, resting on the lifeless bodies of her parents, all in magnificent coffins, but the faces of Freddy and Bonnie have a small smile and traces of tears on their faces. . Diana wears a black dress and an elegant black hat. In her little porcelain hands is a bouquet of roses wet from the rain falling from the sky. Mélinda, who is there to watch over her, made a trembling sign for her to come forward and look one last time at the faces of her parents before they disappear for good. She briefly walked past Freddy's body, placing a kiss on his cheek and whispering 'I love you'. Then, she comes in front of Monty's and gave him a black look but still gives him a kiss like her other father just before.

And finally, Bonnie.

When she arrived in front of the lifeless body of the man with purple hair, she let out a loud cry which made some lower their heads and all the others present at the ceremony cry. She shakes his body in the hope that he gets up and tells him it's a joke. But he remained unmoved, motionless in the face of the sobs and cries of his protégé. His body does not move, frozen by death. It's over, no more jokes, no more games, no more cuddles and happiness with him, no more music with him, no more nothing.

- Wake up daddy! I need you ! Please don't abandon me!

She hugged Bonnie as best she could as she cried, her face stained and red, the hair in front of her face stuck to her from the tears, her body trembling and her voice broken from crying. She finally collapses to the ground and Mélinda walks towards her and rubs her back. Letting a great howl of despair towards the sky, she gets up and runs as quickly as possible away from this place, Mélinda following her. She runs until she reaches the sea and screams with all her might, the rain continuing to fall on her soaked and injured body.

It's official, since that day, Diana is alone and orphaned until the end of her life.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------The orphanage is a very strange place, according to Diana. She and Mélinda are in front of the town's one, two days after the death of her parents. The notary and the lawyer are also there, awaiting the arrival of the person in charge of the orphanage. The little girl hadn't said a word since the day of her parents' funeral. She hugs the bear stuffed animal tightly to her, thinking about those moments.

An old woman comes out of the establishment and walks towards them with her wooden cane.


- Hello gentlemen and madam, I am Géraldine Larenche and I am the manager of The Little Sun orphanage. If you would like to follow me .

She starts to head inside and the other people follow her, except Diana. Géraledine notices this and turns around towards the little girl. With her only free hand, she delicately took his. The hand wrinkled by age is cold against the smaller one which is gently warm. The little girl looks up at the old woman.

- Don't be afraid, my darling, we're all going together.

She looks at her, then orphans her and begins to move forward with Géraldine who is still holding her hand.

However, she lets it go once inside to cover her ears. They walked right into a fight between a young boy of around 12 years old and another of 8 years old, the two were punching each other while the others were all around screaming.

But the battle stops when all the children see Diana. The older ones started whispering and the younger ones stared and pointed at her, all eyes focused on her. She began to tremble with fear.

Geraldine gently shakes her arm, startling Diana. She turns back to the elderly woman who smiles at her to reassure her and shows her the room which is now open. Mélinda and the two other men were already seated on chairs in front of a black fir wood desk. Diana comes forward and sits down in a chair next to Mélinda.

- Well, if we are here, it is to talk about the little present with you. We have to finalize the orphan papers and declare her to the town hall (PS: I don't know if it works like that but who cares), as well as the wills of Freddy Sinclair, Bonnie Lelièvre and Monty Lefleuve / Sinclair.

The other three nod silently. The notary takes out three stacks of different papers and places them on the table.

- Here they are .

Geraldine nodded at him for him to continue.


- Well, I was able to go through the different wills and I will tell you the most important things to know. If she wants to know the rest, she will always have access to the different wills present here.

He runs his hand over the wills before grabbing his notepad. He opens it, runs over the lines with his eyes and his finger, before raising his head.

- Miss Diana Sinclair finds herself in possession of the entire fortune of her parents as well as Bonnie Lelièvre who specified it in her own will. She inherits a fortune of twelve billion dollars as well as all the property. Of course, barring an exceptional event, it was decided that the bank account will be locked until she reaches an age where she will be able to make good decisions.

Diana doesn't really understand the rest of the conversation and therefore decides to abandon the thread of this discussion.

Until Mélinda gets up and starts to leave. And for the first time in days, Diana speaks.

- Where are you going ?

- Oh little darling, I'm going home.

- But we can see each other.

- I don't know, I live far from there, I was reminded this time so exceptionally and as I was passing through they told me to go and get you when your parents were found dead.

She gave her a hug before leaving, leaving Diana alone with the three other people, crying. A hand rests on his shoulder as the lawyer and the notary leave: Géraldine.

- Don't worry my dear, I'm watching over you now.
