In tears she
did persuade him to take a Rosary that was her grandmothers. The
cross broken as she would one day give the other piece to her
child that would fit the other that would be kept by him. It was
a brutal bargain but for her it meant something, even if Jacque
was a cad, that their child would meet their father. A legal
document was signed, as he would leave no loose ends, disowning
any inheritance if she agreed to this. Maggie didn't care about
money in that way so the papers were signed and tucked away only
to give their child upon her death.
Maggie left
for France and eventually met up with Pierre Boveé. In spite of
her condition he had fallen in love and with no one the wiser he
held the son that was born months later, as his own. Pierre was
a good man, hard working like Maggie and between them both they
established Pierre Enterprise making them one of the wealthiest
merchant businesses in Paris. André grew up a happy child with
only a dark mood that would beset him every so often. Maggie
doted on him as she found she could have no more children and
she worried for him knowing the truth of who his father really
was. As he grew, he learned his father's business and upon his
death all titles were transferred to André. Near his 26th
birthday his mother took ill with pneumonia and never recovered.
It was a sad day for André as he sat by his mother's side as
she laid dying. It was then she told him the truth and gave him
the small satchel that contained the broken part of a cross and
the legal document. She made him promise to fulfill this oath
and bring life about full circle.
André reached
a height of 6' 4", lean and well toned. Dark blond hair
held the reddish flare offset by light's rays. He was more
striking in appearance than handsome having the startling blue
eyes and smile of his mother. Jacque would recognize his son
when he met him. A year after his mother's death he tied up all
loose ends and left the merchant business in the hands of a good
friend to run for him. The trip he would be certain to make it
as short as possible, the only incentive was the promise made
and the artifact that interested him. He was told it had been
blessed by St. Patrick himself and held two qualities, one was
healing properties and the second was its powers against snakes,
lizards, serpents and dragons, those of the reptilian species
The cross was
made whole, now worn around his neck, and he left the lands and
family of Monet, ending up in Heathfield. Matters with his
business in France came to the point he was needed back to
straighten them out so he had to leave for a time. Now he
returned and set about setting up his own shipping company on
Heathfield lands. His shipping business flourished as in time
one of his best friends came back. Pierre Lafayette became
his business partner when things were set straight. Heather was
hired as their secretary and a few other connections made.
Swashbucklers they became known as in their own affairs beyond
regular business to keep in check the pirates that sailed
the high seas. Pierre usually took over while Andre was abroad a
lot setting up new enterprises and having their wealth amass.
