Chapter 1 Faith I wake up again this morning with the sadness of having lost my mother, now I find myself alone in the world without anyone to turn to, I have this pain in my chest that I cannot eliminate, I have I feel like my heart is going to explode. My life no longer resembles anything. I am Faith Dassivera, I am Togolese living in Togo, I just turned 23, I had to stop school in the second year and find myself a job as a secretary in a local club to help my mother who was sick. , but despite all efforts the disease did not spare him. I'm still in bed this morning thinking about my life, I'm going to have to find myself a new job, my former employer fired me and he's not wrong, if I don't find a job quickly I will soon run out of money, it's lost in my thoughts that I hear my best open the door Leïla: are you still in bed? Me: yes my darling I just woke up, I didn't hear you come home last night Leila: yes, I came home very late at night, you yourself know with the guy…he didn't want to let me go (laughs) Me: I see... Leïla: you really look like a living dead, your mother has been gone for 4 months, and you stopped living, you don't go to work anymore, you don't go out anymore, you don't do anything anymore, your mother wouldn't have wanted to see you like this Me: I know but I can't do it without her, she was all I had Leïla: yes I know my darling but you will have to find a way to get past your sadness, I'm not asking you to forget it but life goes on, you can't stay stuck in the past To help you I have good news for you, my boss got a contract in paris, she has to bring outfits to a top model and make the adjustments but she won't be able to go, guess who is going to paris ???

Faith We are preparing to leave at the airport because our flight takes off in an hour and a half. Leila: I'm ready, what are you doing, we're going to be late? Me: am here we can leave After some time. Here we are sitting on the edge of the planes Leila: I really existed to be there Me: krkrkr me too (laughs) Leila: I heard you talking on the phone this morning it was Chris??

Leila When we land at the airport the supermodel sends someone to pick us up, and drops us off at the apartment that we will occupy during our stay. Him: here we are, we've done some shopping for you, they're in the closet and the fridge, your two rooms are ready Me: okay thank you very much and when are we going to tell your boss? Him: I'll pick you up tomorrow at 3 p.m. Me: thank you see you tomorrow then, have a good night Him: thank you same to you. I wait for him to leave and I close the door, we each go back to our room and sleep because of fatigue. The next morning... Faith I wake up this morning with lots of messages from Hugo my future ex-boyfriend, I call him Hugo: where have you been all this time? Me: hello, yes I'm fine and you? Hugo: you will stop playing crazy and answer my question Me: Leila and I are on a trip Hugo: that's why this trip and why you didn't warn me? (In an authoritative tone) Me: it's because everything happened in a hurry so I didn't have time, it's a business trip for Leila Hugo: you are unable to go to your job, you get fired but you accompany someone to theirs you see how stupid you are, right? Me: first of all Leila, she's not just anyone, she's like a sister to me, and she brought me along so that I wouldn't be alone so you're going to stop talking to me like her. Hugo: so that you are not alone, I am not here? Me: forget it, I have to talk to you about a truck Hugo: ... Go ahead, I'm listening Me: I would like us to end our relationship, I am happier and I would like to take time for myself Hugo: (threatening) but it's not going in your head? Do you think you can leave me? It's me who will decide when this relationship will end and when I have not decided you stay with me, it's this little bitch there who puts these ideas in your head isn't it? Wait till I catch you Me: do what you want Click I hang up on him, I put my cell phone on silent, I go take a hot bath to relax and I join Leila for lunch.
