Destiny

Conversely, he might just end up taking care of the child but he would resent Destiny a great deal as well. He would force himself to be a part of the child’s life because he was a good person, but he would be miserable because the child would be a constant reminder of the fact that Destiny did not love him and that she never would. He would be completely and utterly miserable, and Destiny did not know if she would be able to deal with that at all.

There was also the chance that Jourdan would end up breaking Destiny’s heart. She would not be able to look at him the same way either, she would just end up feeling like he was going through the motions to try and make her feel like he cared without actually caring. If this was the case, she would end up getting quite depressed indeed, and would not be able to deal with the fact that the man she once was with no longer cared about her as much as she thought he did. This would end up adversely affecting her child’s life as well, as it would grow up from a broken home.

No, it would be safer for both of them to just never start a relationship and never put themselves in danger of breaking each other’s hearts. This would keep the child safe as well. If Destiny and Jourdan had never been together in the first place, they would not be able to blame each other for the demise of their relationship. It would be a difficult situation to go through and it would leave their child with an unusual upbringing but that was not that big a deal. This would be better than them getting together and then breaking up. It would be better than them getting together and then staying together for the children.

Destiny sighed as the plane landed. The pilot was an expert and he made sure that the plane landed utterly smoothly, with the most beautifully smooth transition from air to ground.

She looked out of the window and saw that it had just been raining. It was such a gorgeous image, the sight of the wet ground outside her window. It made her feel like she was in the middle of it, as if she was experiencing it for herself.

She got up and got out of her seat, and Jourdan helped her up. They picked up her bags and exited the plane.

There was a man outside who rushed up to them and carried their bags.

“Good morning, miss,” said the man. “My name is Remy.”

“Remy is my butler,” said Jourdan. “Whatever you need, you can just give Remy a call and he will go and get it for you. And if you think that I am not there and there is an emergency, Remy is the person that you can call to help you out with whatever the emergency is.”

“Thank you so much,” said Destiny. “Hello, Remy, how are you?’

“Fine, miss,” said Remy, taking her bags and saying, “Would you be needing anything else?’

Jourdan looked at Destiny who shook her head. Jourdan smiled at Remy and said, “No, Remy, that will be all for now.”

Remy took the bags and placed them in the back seat of the car. He opened the doors for Jourdan and Destiny and when they were in he went to the front of the vehicle and got into the driver’s seat.

“Shall we head directly to the estate?” asked Remy. “Or would you like to go somewhere else first, sir?”

“Just head to the estate, Remy,” said Jourdan. They started to travel out of the private airport. Jourdan looked at Destiny and said, “We are near Bordeaux at the moment. I think you are really going to like the landscape here, it is the sort of landscape that you would only expect to see in a movie or something like that but I can assure you that it is very real. We live a little far from town but you will have your own car and Remy will be able to take you anywhere you want to go. The town has pretty much anything that you could need, and I am going to give you a card that you can use to get whatever you want.”

“Oh Jourdan,” said Destiny, “I can’t, really I can’t. I can’t take your money like this.”

“I am not giving you money,” said Jourdan. “I am simply giving you the means to get what you need. I trust you, I know that you are not going to spend it on things you do not need.”

Destiny sighed and said, “All of this is just a bit too much. I do not want you to think that I am after anything.”

“I do not think that because I know that it is not true,” said Jourdan. “You keep thinking that I am going to think that you are some kind of con artist. I know that you are not. I know you, and you know me, and we both know that what exists between us is something that you cannot expect to lie about. I trust you completely, you do not have to worry about a thing.”

“Okay,” said Destiny. “I guess I will take the card then. I won’t use it unless I really need to.”

“I know,” said Jourdan. “Do not worry about a thing. We are going to be at the estate soon, I can’t wait for you to finally see it and tell me what you think.”

As they got closer, Destiny was amazed by just how gorgeous all of the scenery was. It was beyond compare, the most beautiful scenery that she had ever seen. She had never been to any city in France apart from Paris because that was the only city that Dionysus Airlines flew to. She was glad that she was getting to see the rest of the country, however.

“This is all so beautiful,” said Destiny. “I can’t believe you actually live here.”

“Ah but there is a curse upon those who live here,” said Jourdan.

“What do you mean?” asked Destiny.

“We live here, therefore we see this every day. This means that we do not appreciate it as much as someone who is new here would. We think of it as something that is not all that out of the ordinary, something that we just have to look at every day. You coming here and saying that this is beautiful, it is allowing me to see it for the first time as well. It is allowing me to see what I would not have seen otherwise, because I did not care to. I live here, and therefore this place becomes nothing special to me. But now that you are here as well… well, suffice it to say that I am glad that you are here right now.”

“You think far too highly of me,” said Destiny. “I am just observing what I see.”

“Ah, but you see that is not something that just anyone can do,” said Jourdan. “People come here and they look at the green and they see it, but they do not feel it. And I do not feel it because I was raised here, I never saw anything special about this. But you are here and I can see that you feel it properly, and this allows me to feel it as well. I feel almost like a child, I feel that sensation of wonder that I had once felt when I had left this place for some time and returned to see the green once more.”
