Found: Book One of Found

Adrien is the Son of well-known Parisian fashion designer Gabriel Agreste. This supermodel teenager was once the face of "The Gabriel Brand" and he had everything at his fingertips. Although this statement may be true, there is one catch to this statement; Adrien hasn't been able to find love until he turned thirteen.

You are probably wondering: How is it possible that I know this fact?

Well, the answer to your question is simple; I am Adrien Agreste, and this is where our story begins.

After taking a summer trip to Tibet in 2014, Mrs. Emilie Agreste had been reported missing for several days by her husband, Gabriel Agreste. Several police officers wanted to solve her case, and the family was hopeful for her return. As months turned into years, the police department had been forced to stop all investigations on the case due to the lack of finding her body. Within the same week, "the invisible woman" case had become a cold case and the news of their results hit the family very hard, especially for my father.

After hearing the results of her case, Mr. Gabriel Agreste began spending most of his days, working at his home office, and he became the next prodigy designer.

No one has seen the genius man since her disappearance. However, many Parisians do believe he may be involved with her disappearance and still do today.

Growing up in Paris was lonely.

There were only a few people I knew very well.

The first two were my father's secretary, Miss. Natalie Sancoeur, and my bodyguard, Mr. Gorilla.

After losing my mother, Natalie had been given the role as my second legal guardian. Later on, she had become my father's primary representative of the company, and in recent years, she was my homeschooled teacher. Meanwhile, Gorilla was hired to make sure my father had an eye on me. After working under my father's watch for some time, he was given the task of accompanying me to all my photo shoots and he drove me everywhere.

Whenever Natalie and Gorilla were required to interact with me, they were expected to act professionally by my father's orders, but they always made sure I had some free time for myself.

The last person I knew was Chloé Bourgeois.

Ever since we were five, Chloé and I had become the best of friends. At a young age, we grew up with no mothers around, and we were always there whenever we needed someone to talk to. This bratty girl always knew what to say to make things better, and I taught her to be kind to others.

I am grateful for having them in my life. However, I wanted freedom from my father's grasp.

On the other hand, being the heir of the biggest company in Paris wasn't that easy.

Like every famous child in the world, I wanted to receive some sort of affection from my father. For as long as I could remember, my father made me model for his fashion designs, gave me fencing lessons, and made me learn to play the piano. On the sidelines, I had to learn Mandarin, and I was expected to be a perfect child in the public's eyes. My achievements were the best way to get an approval reaction from my father. Nevertheless, he still never showed me any love.

The first year of attending public school was the best form of freedom which my father had given me. I gained my first real best friend, Nino Lahiffe. This music-loving friend of mine had always found ways to cheer me up whenever I was feeling down. Plus, he would always find time for us to hang out whenever I had time.

Within the same day, I was given the opportunity to escape from my father's grasps, when Plagg, the kwami god of destruction, came into my life. This small black cat used to transform me into Chat Noir, and I would help my partner Ladybug with protecting Paris from Hawkmoth. Along with the great adventures of being Paris' beloved guardians, I found myself falling in love with Ladybug.
