Real men never stop trying to show a girl how much she means to him, even after he has got her. ---- Anonymous
Luna was already expecting this kind of moves from Louie, Louie just asks her to have time alone with him. Luna smiled at him, for she knows that everything that they talk about will be heard and recorded to the Penthouse 1. The twins and her brother put a device so that they will know what will the other families plans on them. ??
Luna was a strong woman now, and her heart is not longing for him anymore. It is only Francois that she could think of and her twins, she knew that this time alone is just a confession of his unspoken words to her, but the old Luna is already dead…. 5 years to be exact and the new Luna who is in front of him is now LUNA VENDARI and she can''t accept him anymore to her life.
As they all went to the dining area, Louie was very attentive to Luna; he was serving her as a dutiful husband to his wife. The four men were observing Louie, Rosela, and Pearl was just watching them and didn''t disturb Louie from what he was doing to Luna.
"Louie didn''t do that when he was with Sofia" Ethan said and it is enough for the rest to hear it. Louie and Luna didn''t hear it because it seems that they are in their world. Luna was just staring at him, and she let him do those things to her.
"Louie, that''s enough, I can''t eat that much food that you have given on my plate," Luna said to Louie as she stops him from giving her too much food, Louie looks at her plate and smiled, "Then just eat the foods that you can eat then I will eat all your leftovers" he replied to her. Yuan, Ethan, and Kim were shocked, they never knew that Louie will dot the woman beside him that much; Louie never ate Sofia''s leftover foods before and he hates serving her just like he was doing right now to Autumn.
Harry was still observing Louie''s gestures "Louie is really in love with Luna, but what will happen to you my dear friend if you got the news that the woman in front of you is already married," he said to himself. Rosela and Pearl just smiled at what they are witnessing, but for them Luna has already been pampered by the Viscount and the other Knights; that''s why she was not longing for any attention and dotting kind of thing.
Louie inhaled and exhaled deeply as he got the courage to speak what''s on his mind, "Lady Autumn if it will not cause you any trouble…. Can we have time alone later, after we eat our meals? It''s just that I want to tell you something and I hope your friend and bodyguard will also accept my wish" Louie said in one straight blow. Luna, Rosela, and Pearl look at each other, they are communicating through their eyes with a secret code that Harry can understand.
Rosela: "Yes she will talk to you. We will give you an hour, is that okay with you? But we have to be here also, you two will have time alone but we will be at the vicinity where we can see both of you."
Pearl: "We need to protect Lady Autumn even though we are here inside your room, I don''t trust you Mr. Louie Chen."
Louie nods his head but he was still looking at Luna, he was waiting for her response and he hopes to get a positive answer from her. Luna smiled at him and nods her head; Yuan and Harry were surprised for what her response to Louie''s request "Is Luna playing some tricks with Louie?" Harry whispered to Yuan, Yuan only shrugged his shoulder for he didn''t know how to answer it.
After their meal, Louie and Luna went to the living room as for the rest they were left at the dining where they can still see the two while they are having their time alone. "Why did you do that Milady?" Yuan whispered to Rosela; the princess looks at him "Because I want Louie to be prepared for tomorrow''s big surprise of his life. He must be prepared himself for much more shocking news about the Moon" Rosela whispered back. Ethan and Kim were just watching Louie and Luna from afar, they knew that anytime that moment Louie will kis the woman in front of him.

As they sat on the couch facing each other, Louie stares at her very intently. As if he was studying her "How are you now Lady Autumn? Does your face still hurts?" Louie asks her.
Luna: "No, and thank you for treating me."
Louie sighed, he was staring at her again; "She is my Luna… her scent was just like Luna, her lips, and especially her eyes" he said to himself. "Louie, are you not going to see your wife''s situation? I think she has been hurt pretty badly by Pearl" Luna informed him.
Louie chuckled "I don''t care about her. I will protect you and Pearl if ever she will do something about what has Pearl has done to her." Louie has a hunch that Pearl is very important to her, that''s why he has to protect that woman to Sofia and her friends. "And Lady Autumn, Sofia is not my wife anymore. We got divorced last December 20, because I just found out about her infidelity to me and all of her dark secrets towards my Luna" he added.
Luna: "Oh I see, but still you must check about her situation. You are still a part of her, and I think she doesn''t acknowledge your divorce at all."
Louie: "Please let''s not talk about her Lady Autumn. I want to tell you something, something that I was puzzled from the first time I saw you and up to now."
Luna: "What is it Louie? Are you still going to tell me that I am Luna your ex-wife?"
Louie: "Because you are Luna, you resemble her so much. From physical features, talents, and especially your scent. I can''t forget Luna''s scent, it seems…..it lingers to me and my memory. Are you Luna? My Luna? My Wife?"
Luna: "No I am not Luna, I am Autumn Jade Vallini."
Louie: "I was been fooled by Sofia, I didn''t trust my Luna then. I am now regretting it and I want to atone my sins to her. I know that you are MY LUNA….MY WIFE. The woman I fell in love with 6 years ago. That is the day I set my eyes on her at the event of the WU parents'' party."
Luna was just listening to him, if she has been the old Luna…..she will jump in joy and glee upon this kind of declaration of love but...Louie is 5 years too late…. Luna is not interested in him anymore. All she wants to do is, for him to suffer…..for him to experience what she has experienced while they are still married to each other. If Louie only did this 5 years ago, maybe she will be delighted to hear his words but he made her heart into stone.
Louie: "If ever I could hug her and kiss her. I want to share my whole life with her again. I want to grow old with MY LUNA....Will you give me a second chance?"
Luna: "Louie, you must love someone not because they give you everything you need. Instead, love them because they give you the feelings you never thought you needed. And I think Sofia gave all her love to you, you are her world; she exists because of you. And maybe your ex-wife... I mean Luna; her biggest mistake wasn''t loving you too hard, but staying too long with you….you who have never seen her worth."
Louie: "But I''ve never given anything good to Luna. All the things that I gave to her were heartaches, torments, and humiliation and I regret it. I regret that I divorce her, that I didn''t show even the slightest kindness to her and even love and compassion."
Luna: "Then why are you telling me all this? Louie, I am not Luna, I only resemble her but I am not your ex-wife. You know what Louie, accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be."
Louie looks at her, "But still I want to fight for her, I want to show her and to tell her all my unspoken words. I know you are my Luna….MY WIFE."
Luna smiled, stood up, and walks at his side, "You are too late Louie, and the worst part of hurting me was turning my heart into stone when it comes to you and the Su family. I don''t acknowledge the Chen and the Su as part of my life" she whispered to him. Then she looks at him as Louie''s face turned into shock, Rosela and Pearl got her signal for them to leave. They both stood up and it time for them to leave, Yuan and Harry also got their message through their body language.
Rosela: "Mr. Ethan Li, we will just see each other at the venue tomorrow, it''s time for us to go. And Mr. Kim, Pearl will be your date tomorrow and she will be accompanying me tomorrow at the venue. Yuan, Dr. Harry let''s go.
Pearl went to Luna''s side to break the trance of Louie on her, "Mr. Louie Chen, it''s time for Lady Autumn to leave" Pearl said in a cold voice. Louie was still shocked, in his heart her words left a stabbing pain; he won''t accept defeat just like that but her words….it looks like it is written to her diary.
Louie is not moving when the three women and his two friends went out from their room, Ethan and Kim got worried when he was still not moving and they saw a tear on his face. Ethan pats his shoulder and he came back from his senses, "Ethan, she is Luna…..MY LUNA. She may not confirm it but her words of me being too late was a confirmation of her being LUNA" he blurted out like a crazy mad man. He was crying and his friends didn''t know what to do, it looks like that he was breaking down to his senses. This was the scene that Louie''s parents were witnessing right now and they both knew that he got some news about Luna that he can''t accept.
