Louie saw his former employees with glee as they saw Luna entered the venue. He didn''t expect that they knew who she was, but as he remembered Old Driver Lu once said to him that the one who is playing the musical instrument at Villa 8 was Luna. The former Madam of Villa 7, his Luna….his wife.
Audrey and Jamil look at each other as they hold their hands, Audrey''s hands were so cold when Jamil holds it. He knows that she was very nervous about what she have done a while ago. Jamil signaled the orc.h.e.s.tra for the couple dance that royalties will be performing before the auction. ??
The orc.h.e.s.tra performed the Cinderella song (youtube.com/watch?v=2QGGbT5HGxY) wherein the pairs are dancing and Luna and Francois were in the middle of them. The twins'' already joined the Cheung Elders for the dance belongs to the grown-ups. "You are a fast learner Mr. Ethan Li" Amber whispered to Ethan as they dance together. "So she is Luna," he asks, Amber didn''t answer his question but she reminds him about the changing partners. Ethan smiled at her but still, he can''t resist the feeling to look at Luna. When the partners change Luna and Francois were not included in that part, Ethan didn''t have the chance to hold her and ask her some questions; questions that he knows that Louie will ask her if his friend got a chance to be with her alone.
Louie''s eyes didn''t stop scanning the place as he can''t see Luna and his kids, as the dance performance stops all royalties take their seats on their designated tables. Kim glances at Pearl as he was asking for some answers about Luna, but Pearl smiled at him but her eyes emit a killing aura that lets Kim shut his lips.
Jamil spoke as he introduces himself as the emcee for the auction, the first item was the first painting Luna made when she was staying at the City of Wise. The painting was called "Once I called Home." The painting was the Villa 7 but in the painting, a woman was looking to it from afar. As Jamil explains to everyone about the description of the painting he gave the price of the painting "Shall we start from 10 thousand dollars?" Jamil announces.
Louie: "50 thousand"
Bernard: "200 thousand"
Lucas Cheung: "500thousand"
Louie: "2 million"
Luna gave Bernard a signal not to bid anymore for the painting, Francois also sends a message to Elder Cheung as well. Once the two men got the messages they both concede. "Mr. Louie Chen wins the painting."
As the other items were auctioned and it was sold piece by piece there are only a few items were left. When it comes to Luna''s violin, the same violin she used when Louie saw her at Wu''s Valentines'' party. "The Lavander colored violin here was once owned by Luna Su. She once used this item is some special events here at Mystic hotel. So the price for this item was 100 thousand dollars" Jamil once announces.
Lucas: "300 thousand"
Bernard: "500 thousand"
James: "1 million"
Suzy: "James! What are you doing? Why are you bidding?"
James: "Because that was Luna''s precious item. I can''t let anyone have it. I must have it even I lose all my fortunes in life."
Louie: "2 million"
The Knights, Dimitri, Ryder, and the ladies of the court are just watching. From afar Luna and Francois were also watching as the violin get auctioned, she already told the Wu triplets that they can''t bid for she wants to get rid of that violin…just like forgetting the past. She already wants to forget everything for she already found her prince.
Edward: "3 million"
Louie: "5 million"
James: "6 million"
Louie: "10 million"
Louie can''t believe when he heard his father, he is bidding against him. When he looks at his father as if they are communicating with each other. Louie nods his head and still bids for the violin. Edward concedes when the price Louie gave to the violin is 10 million dollars, as for James he can''t go on anymore for he doesn''t have any resources anymore. Luna saw that her grandfather still wants to bid she sends him another message and also to Bernard as she told him the same message. Bernard sigh, he knows that the violin is so important to Luna. Lucas concedes as he got a message from his grandson in law. Edward concedes once the price was 5 million already. "Mr. Louie Chen wins the violin," Jamil said it out loud as everyone claps their hands.
Sofia was very irritated when Louie bids for the price collections and things of Luna. Even her jewelry and other paintings, she can''t believe that after all, they''ve been through he still love that bitch and he didn''t even see that her husband….ex-husband ask about her condition.
Then as everybody thought the auction was finally over…there is one piece left. Luna didn''t know about this at all, the jewelry set was delivered at the center of the stage and it was heavily guarded. Jamil smiled as for the plan of revenge for James Su has begun. James saw the jewelry set and he can''t believe why is it in front of the stage, Suzy and Sofia gasp as it was the piece of jewelry that they are looking for at the Su Residence from the time Luna got married to Louie.
James: "That''s Lily''s favorite piece of jewelry. I gave that to her on our 1st wedding anniversary and it is a piece of customized jewelry."
Suzy and Rica who is eyeing at the jewelry want to bid but their finances are limited. Luna knew that jewelry for her mother promises her that she will give it to her on her wedding day but tragedy struck them before she got married to Louie. James stared at the stage for he can''t believe that that jewelry has will be auctioned and how come it was in the hands of the organizers. That jewelry was lost when he kicks Lily out from their mansion, Suzy pesters him that she likes those diamonds and she wants those as a dowry of him to her.
Jamil: "Last piece for tonight before we go to the main event. A customized jewelry set of blue diamond earrings, a necklace, and a ring. It is named as the "First Time happiness" it is donated by Ms. Lily Cheung.
Then suddenly the front door opened as Lily Cheung enters with her escort no other than DUKE LAWRENCE JOAQUIN VALLINI.
Luna: "DAD!"
James and Suzy: "LILY!"
Rica, Theo, and Andrew: "SHE IS ALIVE!"
Sofia, Rita, and Aira: "GHOST!"
"May I present to everyone, Lady Lily and Duke Lawrence Joaquin Vallini" Jamil announces as he looks at Luna and gave her a wink. "Why is it…my Mom glows tonight and her aura seemed emits like a teenager got her long time wish to have a date with her crush" Luna whispered to Francois.
"Duke Lawrence is also glowing, do you think they knew each other My Queen. And why is it that only the two of us are surprised to see the Duke?" Francois whispered back to Luna. Luna became nervous as she can see that both her adoptive father and her biological mother cling to each other and it seemed that they are newlyweds. "Are they flirting My King? I mean they are flirting using their body movements?" Luna whispered again.
Luna search for her brothers as she looks at their designated table and also at the table of the Knights, Wu triplets, and ladies of the court. As her eyes landed on them, they are all whispering but they are not shocked at all. "Something''s not right, they have plans that we don''t know My King and I am nervous" Luna whispered again to Francois. Francois chuckled and he looks at Luna and kisses her forehead, "Nothing gonna happen My Queen, and if they plan something it is for the good of the sweet revenge" Francois told her and kiss her lightly on her lips.
Those gestures were witness by Louie, he is furious as he clenches his fist. Pearl saw it, "Ahem" she cough to get his attention. Louie back to his senses when he heard someone cough, there he saw Pearl glaring daggers unto him. He bowed his head as he can''t accept that Luna is already in the hands of other men.
Duke Lawrence and Lily were escorted to their table by Audrey as she signaled Jamil to start the auctioned. "The jewelry set price starts from 100,000 thousand dollars" Jamil stated.
Bernard: "500, 000 thousand"
James: "600,000 thousand"
Suzy: "James! Are you crazy!"
James: "Yes! I am Crazy! Those are my Ex-wife''s jewelry and I will buy it. I will give it to my daughter Luna."
Sofia looks at her parents, she can''t believe that her father. Her father wants to dote Luna rather than her.
Edward: "1 million"
James looks at the side of Edward, he stared at him forbidding as he knows that Lily has once become special to him. Mia just shook her head to what her husband is doing, she knew that Lily is special to Edward''s heart and even though she is already married to James, he still cares for her.
Mayor: "3 million"
Bernard: "5 million"
Edward: "8 million"
James: "10 million"
Bernard wants to get the jewelry for he wants to give it to Lauren, he wants to propose to her tonight; he wants to make it official for him and her to be an as engaged couple. He doesn''t care about Sofia, now that he knows that Luna is already fine in the arms of Francois.
Bernard: "50 million"
The three other men were astounded of the worth of his price for the set of pieces of jewelry, they concede without any more words. Suzy smiled as James lost the bidding but her daughter can''t put up a smile for she didn''t know if those sets of jewelry will be given to her or the woman beside Bernard.
Bernard won the bidding and Jamil announces it. "The proceeds of the auction will be donated to the orphanage manage by the Wu family. The HADES Family wants to give to you all the proceedings as a gift by Countess Luna Autumn Jade and her husband Viscount Francois Andrei Vendari.
"Why is it they keep on saying that My Luna is married to that guy" Louie blurted out and enough to be heard by his companion at the table.
