Lena had never felt the need to be territorial with Pierre. They’d been married over a hundred and fifty years. Longer than the average lifespan of a human. She knew there was no chance of him straying away because they were absolutely devoted to one another. They were soulmates. Even for the years they were apart during the second world war she never questioned his fidelity. But then a brunette woman walked into the casino asking to speak to Pierre. She handed Lena a piece of paper with her telephone number written on it, asking Lena to pass it onto Pierre. Lena didn’t launch for the woman immediately, instead she questioned her. Why would Pierre want her number? Well, because he’d been flirting with her last time she was in the bar, calling her beautiful. The woman, who revealed her name was Lottie, started rambling on about how her therapist told she needed to do things outside her comfort zone and apparently giving her number to a man was one of those things. Lena walked off mid-sentence, unable to stand there a minute longer. Lena rushed out into the storeroom biting back the tears as she looked down at the piece of paper. It never occurred to that during the time her husband couldn't remember his wife he could have climbed into bed with another woman. Was it adultery? She hoped Pierre would have told her immediately if something like that happened, but then again he didn’t tell her about Lottie. Just like he didn’t tell her about Mal either. What other secrets was he hiding? She paced back and forth in the store room trying to hold herself together, for the sake of the building if anything. If she lost her temper then the roof could rip straight off the casino, which would cost a lot of money to replace. Pierre would be paying for the roof if that happened. Lena had almost pulled herself together when the door into the storeroom opened. Immediately when she saw her husband her anger went from a level ten to a level fifty. “Lottie has just visited.” She held the piece of paper out to him, “She give you her number.” She scrunched the paper up and threw it in Pierre’s direction, “She said you flirt with her! How could you Pierre?” The tears started to well in her eyes as she glared at Pierre. PIERRE BAUDELAIRE  |

Now, Pierre could run the casino with his wife and live his life blissfully. She’d renamed it, of course, but Pierre had grinned as they discussed it. Some part of him had still known━still reached out for her.
Pierre carried a box of alcohol from the back room and into the casino, walking the same route back and forth for the newest shipment. It would’ve been nice to have staff to help him, but it wasn’t as much stock as usual, and Pierre could probably lift as much as his human employees combined.
He shouldered his way into the storeroom, smiling brightly at Lena. Before she even spoke, he noticed her anger, and his smile began to falter.
The moment he heard her name, Pierre cringed, twisting to set the box down. As he straightened back up, the paper bounced off his chest, and he frowned deeply. “Mon cœur,” He breathed, a tightness in his chest forming as he saw the tears build in Lena’s eyes. The last thing he ever wanted was to make her sad━it brought him more pain than anything else.
“It was while you were gone,” He admitted, dark eyes flicking over her face as if he was afraid to meet her eye. “I did not know you even existed, mon amour.” Pierre shook his head weakly, “But I did not do more dzan buy ‘er a drink. It felt wrong,” He stepped forward, taking her hands tentatively. “Per’aps I knew, somewhere inside, zat I was waiting for you.” Lena always had little tolerance for his schmoozing, but this was true. Yes, he didn’t want to be in trouble, but, most of all, he desperately wanted to extinguish the look of pain on her face.

Lena should have ripped Lottie’s tongue out for even uttering her husband’s name. For being so brave as to walk into the casino and suggest to Lena that she passes her number onto Pierre. But it wasn’t worth damaging the businesses reputation this early on, plus the carpet was new. It would take hours to get that amount of blood out of the fabric, a job which might have been delegated to Ayla. Ayla wouldn’t be able to handle it though and would probably walk out in shock. Hector’s club was the place where all the bodies were found. When she arrived back in Mystic Falls it took her a few minutes to realise that Pierre had actually named the casino Lierre. She stood there staring at the sign in disbelief, but it was a sign that he’d known she was missing to some extent. Why else throw the L in front Ierre? But if he did know why did he flirt with some common bitch? It was a difficult situation. Lena knew she had every right to feel betrayed, but there was this hazy moment in time where Pierre genuinely didn’t know she existed. She didn’t say it, but she would have figured it out a lot sooner than him if he were to go missing. They had a son. Baxter was the one thing she’d left behind. But also Julian left behind all his toys and Teddy didn’t click straight away, despite the signs being scattered all around his apartment. Lena’s eyes flickered over Pierre’s face as he explained himself, carefully watching to see if his expression faltered in the slightest to see if he was lying. Immediately she knew he was telling the truth, but it didn’t erase the betrayal she felt. “Why did you not tell me? I have been back for weeks and you say nothing!” She lifted her right hand, slapping him on the chest, although not full force. “How many other girls did you just buy drinks for?” How many other bitches were going to walk into the casino handing their numbers over to Pierre?

However, he would like to pack up everything that happened while Lena was gone into a box and then toss it into the river. That was part of the reason he hadn’t told her. The other part was the fact that it was embarrassing and hard to think about. None of it mattered, and he wished it could be forgotten.
Of course, Lena wasn’t going to let that happen.
Pierre frowned deeply, only puffing out a breath as she smacked his chest. He didn’t move, though he knew that if she wanted to move him, he’d be on his ass. Instead of reacting, he took his punishment like a small child getting chastised by a parent.
“I forgot!” He exclaimed, then gentler, “None, cherie.” Oh, that wasn’t true, but he was French, after all. He couldn’t help himself. He would have done it whether or not Lena was around, simply because it made good business. “None dzat matter. None dzat would come ‘ere to see me again. It was never more dzan a passing dzing. Even with zis girl, I could not go through wiz-it.”
Pierre took Lena’s hands in his own and squeezed, mostly inhibiting her from hitting him again. He brought them to his lips, then peered at her from over them. “Mon cœur, I did not tell you not because I was ‘iding it, but because I could not dwell on anyzing so meaningless while I ‘ad my life brought back to me. S’il vous plaît, mon amour. You must believe me.” After a blessing like that, how could they ruin it now? By something so fleeting, so small?

But how could he forget? She narrowed her eyes at Pierre, exhaling harshly as she did so. A faint breeze rolled through the stockroom. “Pierre. People forget their house key or forget to water plants… they don’t forget flirting with a girl when they marry!” Lena would have loved to stand there arguing she would have never acted like that if Pierre was taken, but it wasn’t a certainty. All memories of Lena were wiped from Pierre’s mind. For that brief period he thought he was single. Just how Teddy completely forgot he was a parent. She did believe him, there was zero doubt in her mind. It was pretty damn obvious that Pierre was sorry for what happened and Lena would accept his apology, but maybe not for a few hours. If her husband wanted to cheat on her he would have done it by now. She wasn’t naive in thinking the opportunity had never presented itself, but there was no way he was going to throw away their marriage for some cheap looking bitch like Lottie. She pulled her hand back from Pierre’s, placing Lottie’s number into his palm. “You call her and tell her to stay away. If I see her here again I kill her, okay?” She knew she didn’t need to stand there and explain to Pierre that she meant it. She would kill Lottie without a moment of hesitation.
