To truly love another person, is to accept that the work of loving them is worth the pain of losing them ---- The Haunting of Bly Manor

    City A, Villa 7??

    Rafael and Clara Chen had just eaten their dinner when they got a call from an unknown number. Rafael''s brows furrow for his number was very private and only his immediate family knows it, as he opened the message, he was astounded by the message itself.

    "ELDER RAFAEL CHEN, WE WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT WE THE CHILD OF LUNA SU VALLINI VENDARI WILL NOT BECOME A CHEN. EVEN THE BATTLE OF CUSTODY OR ANY VISITATION RIGHTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED FOR WE DIDN''T BORN TO YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR GRANDSON WHO IS OUR BIOLOGICAL FATHER HAS ALREADY WAIVE HIS RIGHTS JUST BEFORE WE ARE BORN. SO CUT THE CRAP AND LIVE ON YOUR OWN. WE ARE VERY SORRY FOR THE WORDS BUT WE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BULLY OUR MOTHER AGAIN"

    FROM: Winter and Dawn Vendari

    Rafael''s face turned pale and he was very astounded as he reread the message, his mind is asking if his great-grandchildren are the ones who really texted him or it is just a prank. Clara saw her husbands'' reaction and she began to be scared, "What is it, Rafael? Who sent you the message and what does it say?" Clara says to Rafael.

    Then the cell phone sends another beeping sound as it is followed by another message. "People who love are also the ones who end up getting hurt. And you know what the most challenging thing about being in love is? Is the feeling that when you know you''re good for each other, that you make each other feel complete, but not right now and not this time. No matter how much you try to fix things, sometimes, it will all just fall apart. There''s nothing you can do, ever so slowly, you''ll watch them walk away from you. Louie Chen may blame himself for not being good enough, that he couldn''t fulfill the dreams you both foresee for our mother and him in the future as a couple until the end. But sometimes, it''s not their fault if things don''t work out between the two of them."

    "What is it, Rafael?!" Clara shouted at her husband, for he didn''t notice her anymore. "Someone texted me, and it says that it came from our great-grandchildren. It seems that they knew our plans about the custody and the change of their surnames" he informs his wife.

    "What did you say? How come our great-grandchildren know your number? Maybe it is a prank! A prank that Sofia facilitated. We both know that Sofia is a very cunning and scheming kind of person. She may be manipulated those messages Rafael" Clara burst out her emotions as she grabs her husband''s phone and read the two messages.

    Clara read it not only once, twice, but she did it until she memorized each message''s words and lines. "If this is sent by our great-grandchildren, maybe Luna trained them and ask them to do it. She will surely avenge all her pain towards Louie and us. Maybe she thought that we approved Louie''s decision to divorce her and we didn''t even react when that happened, and we even attended Louie''s wedding with Sofia. We just do it for the sake of our reputation Rafael" Clara''s voice cracks as she explained what''s on her mind.

    Rafael immediately hugs his wife, he knew that she will have another anxiety attack. Clara will also have another breakdown for she can''t accept the fact that the great-grandchildren that she longs for is or will be a Chen. "Clara, hush my wife. Maybe you''re right, this is all Sofia''s schemes. We both know how evil she was, especially towards Luna. Luna will never do something like this, she had a golden and soft heart. I know, how much Luna loves Louie, she loves him too much. She''d live and die for him. That''s just how she was as a person. But right now, all we can do is hope for it all to work out someday. Until then, all we can do is look at them, with a smile and hope that they will be happy. And they will still end up as a couple" Rafael said to his wife as he embraces her.

    "Don''t think too much Clara, Don''t ever think that Luna will teach the children to seek revenge. They are still young and Luna is not like Sofia" Rafael told Clara as he cupped her face and tried to persuade her. But in his mind, he can''t also assure himself about the fact that maybe, five years is too long to plan for revenge. They, as a couple didn''t even try to visit Luna while she was still married to their grandson. They never even ask her about her situation, Old Butler Lee, his wife, and some loyal servants of Luna are the only ones who report everything to them about what Louie is doing to her. Luna even forbade them to tell the truth, Luna is afraid that Louie may find out and the servants will lose their job. She values the friendship that has been built with them. He knew that both of them has their own fault for not protecting the Moon.

    "Rafael, we must make some amends to Luna. We need to atone also our sins to her, if we need to beg and kneel to her and to the children we must do it. They must feel our sincerity" says Clara as she pleads to her husband. Rafael just nods his head, but still, he has this feeling that it will be hard.

    "We must contact Lucas and Eva, we might be needing their help. We need to talk to them first and we must reconcile with them, they are the only people who could help us. As we have seen in the video they are also with Luna and the kids. And Lily…Lily is alive. Maybe she can help us also, Edward and Lily can have their second chance for Edward and Mia has already divorce same with Lily and James" Clara once again speaks up. Rafael just nods his head once again, but deep inside his heart, he is already praying for their old friends, Lucas and Eva will also forgive them especially Lily.

    Atty. Rebecca Alberts is just a few feet away from the couple, and she is recording everything that is happening inside Villa 7. She needs to send this to Louie and report to him about what is happening right now. She knew that the twins'' are very intelligent little kids, they are also once doing some email letters to her boss and they even hacked their company security department. Rebecca had these feelings that, it is the twins'' who really did it. The Chen Elders might have misjudged Sofia this time, but what can they do, Sofia is really a scheming woman and couldn''t Elder Chen can''t trust her anymore or they never trusted her even once.
