Darling, I forgave you a long time ago; it''s karma that never forgets and always bites ---- Melody Lee

    "I think Mr. Louie doesn''t understand what my first question was, okay let me rephrase it for you. Are you happy Louie? Are you happy being married to Sofia? Are you contented being Sofia''s husband?" Luna then asks him once more. Louie sigh, for him to explain things to her seems like he is passing through the hole of a needle. ??

    "I am not happy and contented with my life, and even though I married Sofia it seems that there is a piece that is missing," Louie replied.

    "She fooled me the whole time, from the moment she told me that she is the woman behind the mask that I met during the Valentine''s Day Charity Gala of the Wu''s. The woman who introduced herself to me as her name was Lu. The woman who has expressive eyes and a smile that is tattooed on my mind from that moment on" Louie added.

    ''What about you Luna, how are you for the past five years? Are you happy?" Louie asks her as he gathered enough courage to let it out what he wants to ask her for the first time he got to know that she is his LUNA.

    Luna chuckled upon hearing his words, "It seems that you have already read my diary Louie, and how am I suppose to believe you about that? There are so many things that you have done in the past even before we got married, and even before we got to know that we are betrothed to each other. And to answer your question, I am fine and absolutely happy, and also contented with my life for the past five years and still counting Louie. I am a mother of a twin and happily married to Francois Andrei Vendari," Luna answered him. Louie suddenly grips the rope from the swing and stop what he was doing, the answer that Luna gave to him, gives him a sudden pang and guilt in his heart. He knew that it was his fault for not listening to his heart, even when Yuan told him that he was wrong and yet he still didn''t listen to him but rather he listen to Sofia and her mother. None of them spoke after Luna has spoken her piece, Louie was embarrassed to hear Luna''s answer about the diary.

    "Why didn''t you came back after you gave birth to the twins? Why didn''t you let the Wu triplets or Yuan know that you are still alive, I mean you could have sent some message to Yuan or the Wu triplets stating the fact that you are alive. Why did you wait for five years?" Louie asks her and this was one of the questions that he wants to ask for the first time he holds the DNA result of the twins.

    "Why should I came back after giving birth to the twins'' when I have already everything here at the City of Wise. I have a loving Adoptive Father who spoils me not like my real father James Su who only knew was to mock me. I have two adoptive brothers who are very patient in teaching me how to cope up with depression while I am pregnant, I have new friends who are the men and women of HADES who are always there to give protection when they could feel that someone is threatening me and most especially I have Scarlet and Francois. Scarlet taught me how to be strong, strong top handle my emotions especially if there will be a time we meet again unexpectedly or by accident. Francois... Francois who love and accept everything about me, my past, my flaws, and most especially the twins. He gave the warmth that I was longing for when I am with you Louie. Francois acted like my husband when I am having my prenatal check-ups and up to the point when I gave birth to the twins'' that he almost killed Alexei and torn don the Mt. Olympus Hospital." Luna informs him. Louie closes his eyes as he absorbs unto his heads the pieces of information that Luna had said a while ago, as he let out a deep sigh "Then what about my two other questions?" he reminded Luna.

    Luna stands up and faces Louie, "It is the decision of my adoptive father Duke Lawrence and my two adoptive brothers'' Dimitri and Ryder to disclose my identity of being alive to all of you. They want to find out first who was the real culprit of the gang war at the train station. They want to punish them first, that''s why they made up the fake death, fake corpsed, and fake medical records. Nothing is impossible for the hacking skills of Scarlet. They even punished those who are involved in that gang war who are now six feet under. I didn''t send messages to Yuan and the Wu triplets for their own protection, for the culprits are just so close to them and I want to protect them also in such a way as that. When I gave birth to the twins'' and it is your wedding day also, Scarlet already gathered information about the Lee couples and all the servants at the Villa 7 who resign after I left, they are making the moves that they will be protected from Sofia, Suzy and even to my so-called father James Su." Luna told Louie who is now staring at her, he can''t believe that because of what he had done to Luna, he put her life at stake.

    "I''m sorry, I''m sorry for all the heartache that I gave to you. I''m sorry for hurting you in all aspect, I really don''t know, but all I want to do that time was...after you signed the divorce doc.u.ments, I want us to live just like what we used to be when we are living at the Villa. That you will continue to live at Villa 7, that if I will come to visit the Villa 7 even I am in a relationship with Sofia, I can still see you, hug you, and kiss you. I''m sorry if I let you go that easily, I regret that I signed those doc.u.ments." Louie suddenly blurted out, and he can''t control his tears from flowing into his eyes. He suddenly kneeled in front of Luna and hug Luna''s waist as he wails because of the pain he is having, the pain that can''t be cured by any medicine available in the market.

    Luna was just looking at him, she is not moving from her spot from the moment Louie kneeled and embrace her from her waist and wails. "Luna, I truly look for you for five years, you can ask Yuan for confirmation. I regret marrying Sofia if I only knew that you are pregnant... No, I mean if only I knew from the start that you are the woman I met at the Wu Valentines Day Charity Gala, the woman in the mask, I won''t let you go from my grasp. Luna, please forgive me. I regret not opening my eyes widely and be blinded to what Sofia and my Mom''s words. Luna, it is you that I love, it is you that I want to spend my lifetime and to grow old. But those wishful thinking are now shattered because of my fault and now even I regret it, all I can wish and hope for is for you to forgive me and be your friend." Louie sadly told her while he was crying and still embracing Luna''s waist. Luna didn''t expect Louie''s outburst, she didn''t know what to do as she becomes rooted to where she was standing.

    "I know you always make it me alright and even when you are not, I didn''t realize that the last ti,e I force myself to you, you make me alright even though you are not, I didn''t know that...it will be the last time I''ll ever touch you, smell your scent and feel your touch. those are the ways that I miss when I am with you. I didn''t know but when I touch Sofia, I feel disgusted, I feel different....it is different when I''m with you. I know I can''t bring back the time, it is too late for me to become your Knight and shining armor nor to become your Prince, I knew also that I am five years too late for the twins'' but I hope you will grant my wish to become their father even there are restrictions that you and Viscount Francois will be laid to me. I wis for us to become friends Luna, I want to protect you especially with Sofia and her mother." Louie added.

    Then the song Just Give Me a Reason by Pink and Nate Ruess (youtube.com/watch?v=No-fUfWbvIw) was heard at the entire Oceans of Flowers. Luna chuckled for she knew that her husband, Scarlet, and Dimitri were watching from the CCTV. Louie heard the song, "Yes just like what the song has said, we are not broken...we are just bend and we can learn to love again. We can learn to accept everything and forget the past, Luna. My Luna." Louie uttered as he still hugs Luna from her waist while he was kneeling.

    "Louie, I''m sorry but there are things that you can''t bring back from the past. There certain things that you will never take to your grasp even though you like it for those things already have moved on. I am married and I LOVE FRANCOIS so much. I have waited for five years for him to propose to me. It is him that makes my world go round Louie, and the twins'' also, the twins'' are so special to Francois even though he knew that he is not their father but still he showered them with affection and love. I''m sorry for I can''t accept you to become my friend, but for being a business partner...that''s the only relationship between us." Luna informs him and it is like a bomb that exploded to Louie''s ears.

    Louie shook his head, "I can''t accept it, Luna. Being a business partner, it will only limit me to have some quality time with you. We can''t even have a conversation like...like anything and everything under the sun. Please do accept me even as a friend" Louiem pleaded.
