She never had anyone to pick her back up and help her rise again when she fell.The only person that was always there...was her. Through the heartaches, the pain and disappointments, she didn''t have anyone to turn to...and she was okay with that. ---- The Ravenwolf

    Sister Lourdes smiled at her, "We will be having a six o''clock prayer before the dinner serves, you have the freedom if you want to join or not. Our food here is not as luxurious as you have in your home but it is cooked full of love and it is healthy. The recipes of the menus here was made by Luna, and when she contacted us after she gave birth to the twins'' she gave us another set of recipes according to the health needs of the people here. She also made it sure that the suppliers of the ingredients will deliver fresh ingredients." Sister Lourdes proudly informs Mia.??

    "You all knew that Luna is alive?!" Mia asks the nun and gave her a confusing look. "Yes! We all knew and we all hide it from the Su and Chen family, Ms. Mia Chen" a male voice was heard inside the room. "Fr. Jasper!" Sister Lourdes greeted the priest as soon as he enters the room.

    "Good Day Sister Lourdes. Good Day Madam Mia Chen." Fr. Jasper greeted back but still, he didn''t answered Mia''s question. "I hope you will enjoy your stay here at the Convent of St. Agnes. Luna and her new families are one of our major benefactor." Fr. Jasper informs Mia as he sat on the chair.

    Mia was staring at the young priest, "I first met Luna here when I was still a deacon, and I am one of her confidant here every time she needs someone to talk with her problems. Sister Margaret and Sister Lourdes were also here to listen to her unspoken words. And to answer your question a while ago, yes we all knew that she survive the gang war at the train station, the Vallini''s were the ones who contacted us about her situation back then, we hide it to everyone because we all want to keep her safe. Back then, only the Wu and the Cheung families were so concern about what really happened to her. The Wu triplets were here when they ask for me to bless the urn of her ashes. The people behind Luna wants everyone here at City A to believe that she was already dead. Then after some months your son married her step sister Sofia, I was ask to officiant the marriage but I refuse for I still knew that Luna is alive and Louie was the person who hurt her that much." Fr, Jasper told Mia.

    For Mia, the sound of the voice of the priest is full of condescension, she could also feel that the priest is just controlling himself for he was still a priest and he can''t just hate anyone. Mia sat down on the bed upon hearing and knowing the truth…actually she knew that it was only partial of the story. "We knew that, Louie thought that Luna was cheating on him, because Luna always runs away from the Villa and Sofia assigned some people to follow her and once they got to know that she was with some guy they took a picture and showed it to Louie," Sister Lourdes butts in.

    "We actually thought that Luna is having an affair with a guy named Jasper John, and there are some pictures of them together hugging while Luna was crying. Those pictures was sent to us by Sofia for she didn''t want Louie to be cheated on," Mia suddenly voice out and she thought she just mumbled it but Fr. Jasper and Sister Lourdes heard her. Unknown to her both the priest and the nun chuckled and look at each other, "I am Jasper John…Fr. Jasper John" the priest told Mia.

    "He was still a deacon that time Madam Mia, you forget it already? He just told you the story" Sister Lourdes asks her once again. "Luna was afraid that Louie will do something at this convent when he accused her of cheating. But Madam Mia, isn''t your son who cheated on Luna first? Did your son have physically hurt when Luna asked him about your son''s true relationship with Sofia Su? You and your son even humiliate her every time you have social gatherings, and you both give Sofia the privilege to mock her for the nine months of marriage…the traumatic marriage of Luna to your son" says Fr. Jasper while staring at her.

    "We are now paying for everything that we have sowed Father, and my son now regrets it. My son is now remorseful for everything that he had done to Luna," Mia said in tears.

    "You and your son regrets it now child, especially that you both saw the two adorable kids of Luna who is the spitting image of your son. And we, here at the convent also knew that even James Su regrets it for not getting acknowledgement from the twins'' as their grandfather. The twins'' are very intelligent Madam Mia, and at the very first glance we already knew who their father was. But unfortunately for your son, they just acknowledge him as the donor to the w.o.m.b of their mother and they don''t want to have any relationship with your son. That''s the thing that they confessed to us when they visited us weeks ago" Sister Lourdes informs Mia.

    "The twins''… they are my grandchildren and yet they can''t accept me and Louie to their lives, and even Edward," says Mia in a sad tone of voice. "But I can''t blame the children and even Luna for we really hurt her and even though we ask for her forgiveness a simple sorry is not enough to undo the things we have already done to her" Mia added.

    "I now experiencing some of the feelings of what Luna had felt when Louie divorce her, the only difference was that, my son regrets what he had done after he found out that she "died" at the gang war and he secretly look for her for he knew deep inside his heart that she was still alive. My son looks for her for five years, I know you will not believe me but he really did tried to ask the Wu triplets about her whereabouts and even where did they laid her to rest. But Samantha and Cassandra Wu were so angry with him and didn''t uttered any information while Jessica Wu on the other stop talking to everyone. If only I could bring back the time, if only I was contented for having Edward as a husband and didn''t help Suzy to plot against Lily and James''s marriage…maybe I am not as horrible as now and I am still married to the man I love and my family is still complete," Mia said as her tears flows on her face.

    "Luna didn''t have any intentions on marrying your son Madam Mia, she really do want to escape that time. If only the Elders, both the Cheung and Chen Elders didn''t plot on both children things will not end up this way. If only Louie divorce Luna a month after their marriage, Luna will not suffer and had that traumatic experience with your son. But your son keep her by his side for nine months and let her experience some traumatic and horrible things that both Sofia and Louie do to her, and you even conspire with Suzy and Sofia on humiliating her," says Sister Lourdes. Sister Lourdes is also in tears for she remembered Luna''s face with bruises when she once seek for security at the convent. It was one of the terrifying moment in Luna''s life that her whole body is full of love bites from Louie and some ugly bruises on her face. Sister Lourdes remembers that Louie tormented and force himself to Luna because of what Sofia told to him. It was six months after their marriage, and Luna just escape from the Villa with the help of some servants there.

    "We will leave you here for now Madam Mia, you need to take a rest and we will just let you know if the meal is already serve. But for now stay here and reflect" Father Jasper butts in for he didn''t want to see the elder nun crying as she reminisce Luna''s past. Father Jasper stand up and went to where Sister Lourdes is and embraces the nun as he consoles her, because for Father Jasper, Sister Lourdes was like her mother and Luna was like his baby sister. He also remembered that scene, and being a man he wants to seek revenge that time but he couldn''t because he is a deacon and wants to become a priest. All he can do was pray for Louie to have a heart towards Luna and to enlighten him about their marriage.

    Father Jasper and Sister Lourdes went out from the room where Mia was situated, Mia sniffed as she can''t control her tears. The tears of regret and loneliness, she was on her own now. "I hope Louie will never know that he was not Edwards'' son. That I conceived him before Edward and I had s*x and that is the reason why Lily broke up with him. If I only knew that Edward is barren I will not plot against him that time. And even though I love him so much, I will just let him be with Lily. Now, my secrets about Louie''s birth father might be exposed because of what is happening to our lives...his life. And if only I didn''t listen to Suzy and Sofia, Louie''s married life with Luna might be save by me," Mia said to herself as she glance at the window.
