Penthouse 2

    Scarlet reports everything to the great bosses about the incidents that have happened to them, Duke Lawrence is very happy that Francois confesses to Luna and they are already married. ??

    Prince Stephen: "Scarlet, bring Yuan Xi here with Alexei. Do it without Isabele''s knowledge. And tell the other Knights except for Francois that I summoned them."

    Countess Helen Rose: "Stephen Voronov! Don''t you ever dare hurt our future son – in- law?"

    Duke Lawrence: "Tell Ryder that he has to report to me also, don''t let the twins knew that I''m already here because they might spill out the beans to their mother and father."

    Scarlet nods her head and left the Penthouse 2. Lily and the Elder Cheung''s could sense the tension among the people around them. Duke Lawrence nad the great bosses look at their side and saw that they are staring at them, Dimitri is watching the bosses and the Cheung''s when he coughs to break the silence.

    "Dimitri, tell us about this Yuan Xi, who is he? Is our precious daughter pregnant?" Countess Helen Rose asks him. The Voronov''s envied Duke Lawrence when Luna gave birth to a twin, they love children so much that''s why they also pampered the twins so much.

    "Yuan Xi became Luna''s friend when my granddaughter married Louie Chen. He treated Luna like his sister but he can''t protect Luna at that time to Louie because he was Louie''s assistant. But he is a very fine young gentleman" Elder Lucas answered the queries of Isabele''s mother.

    "You must be happy that Isabele is pregnant, the twins'' will love to have new bunnies that they can play with, and don''t worry about that man if my sons and the knights didn''t torture him that only means that he passed the test," Duke Lawrence told the Voronov couple.

    After a few minutes, the people who are summoned by the great bosses went into Penthouse 2 together with YUAN XI who is blindfolded. Since Luna is having time alone with Harry and the twins are helping the Wu triplets in organizing for tomorrow''s event, those who are summoned by the great bosses didn''t have a hard time sneaking out from the Penthouse 1. Upon entering the Penthouse 2 the Manzini siblings were a surprise to see their parents, all along what they knew was that the only parents who will be arriving for the event were Duke Lawrence and Vendari''s parents. Amber and Marco went to their parents'' side to pay respect as they hug and kiss them both, everyone pays respect to the great bosses. But Ryder''s eyes fall on Duke Lawrence side, as his adoptive father was now sitting beside Lily Cheung and it seems that he is flirting with Luna''s mother. Ryder gave Dimitri a look and asking what has happened and he got an answered by the movement of Dimitri''s lips stating "FLIRTING 101" and Ryder just nods his head.

    Alexei who is holding the blindfolded Yuan Xi on his arms ushered him to sit on a chair, and he took off the blindfold as he introduces to him who are the new people inside the room. Yuan was shocked to see the parents of Isabele and Luna''s adoptive father who impose a very strong aura. "Louie you are dead meat now, you can''t do anything to harm Luna in the presence of this man. And even James Su will regret hurting Luna" Yuan told to himself.

    Prince Stephen: "What happened to your neck young man? Why is it that you have so many red marks?"

    Yuan blush as he didn''t find enough time to hide it, the knights suddenly laugh as the great bosses and the Elder Cheung''s are staring at his neck. "It''s Isabele''s fault Dad, she tortures Yuan" Alexei informed them.

    Countess Helen Rose: "I am Isabele''s mother young man, does my daughter torture like this? What else did she do to you?"

    Yuan didn''t know if he will answer it or digs a hole in front of them and hide on it. "Isabele loves to feed him with green mangoes dip in spicy shrimp paste, and feeding him also with spicy vanilla ice cream and she always sniffs on his neck" Amber also informed the great bosses.

    "Maybe Isabele is pregnant, she is having weird cravings. She hasn''t eaten a shrimp paste before nor she likes the smell of it" Manzini sibling''s mother Grace told them. "What is your name young man?" Duke Rainer asks him.

    Yuan: "I am Yuan Xi Sire, I am a commoner to you and I am just a low key employee of Louie Chen."

    Prince Stephen: "I don''t care about that Louie Chen, the twins'' have other plans for him. It is you that we want to get to know more."

    The killing aura of the great bosses of HADES was already unleashing inside the Penthouse 2. The Knights and the ladies of the court didn''t utter nor can formulate words to help Yuan.

    Duke Lawrence: "Alexei and Amber, since both of you are doctors….what can you say about the situation of Isabele."

    Alexei and Amber look at each other, how would they know or confirm to them that Isabele is pregnant without conducting any test on her. "We didn''t run some test on her father but I use an old way of how to confirm if she is pregnant or not. I felt her pulse and I am 100% sure that she is having a baby" Alexei told his father.

    Duke Rainer who is the father of the Manzini siblings gave him a deadly glare, "What are your plans to the Princess of the Voronov right now?" he asks Yuan. Countess Grace slaps his shoulder for the way he asks Yuan, "Don''t scare him. You men of HADES stop scaring Isabele''s future husband!" Countess Grace shouted at them as she points her forefinger to the great men of HADES.

    Countess Grace: "You said your name is Yuan? So we can call you Yuan?"

    Yuan nods and he can feel that his sweat was already flowing on his forehead. The Vendari couple is just containing their laugh as they can see how they interrogate the future husband of Isabele. "Yuan, they are just asking you questions son. They just want to know your plans for Isabele since you are the first man she treats so special. It is you that she romantically got involved with, and it is natural for us men of HADES to protect her" Viscount Vendari speaks up as he holds his wife''s hand.

    Yuan took a deep breath as he can feel the blazing eyes of the great bosses especially Isabele''s parents. He saw Alexei gave him a cross finger sign to wish him luck. "I love Isabele so much Sire, I am planning to marry her whether she is pregnant or not. It''s just that I didn''t prepare a grandiose wedding proposal to her but still, I already ask her to be my wife. At first, I didn''t know that she is royal blood, and I don''t care if she is but I am scared because I don''t know if you will accept me as your son-in-law" Yuan informed them.

    "I may not have the riches in the world that I can offer to her as dowry nor I can give to her the lifestyle she was used to having after we got married but all I can promise and I will prove to you all is that…. I will love her for a lifetime….. I will treasure her and I am ready to move a mountain just to have her as my wife" Yuan added.

    The great bosses were looking at him, the women of the great bosses and Lily Cheung was already on their tears upon hearing his words. "You will marry my daughter tomorrow" Prince Stephen announce to everyone. And the Knights, Ladies of the Court and even Dimitri and Ryder were a surprise, they didn''t know that the interrogation will be turned into another planning of the wedding.

    Alexei: "Dad, I think Yuan needs to propose to Isabele first before they got married."

    Xavier: "We can do it tomorrow after Francois and Luna bless their union."

    Yuan: "But I don''t have any rings? I don''t want to propose to her without any rings. The twins already gave us a ring but still, as a man I want to buy something for her from my pocket."

    Dimitri: ''I''ll make the necessary preparation on that, I''ll ask Luna''s friends for help. Don??t worry Yuan, I''ll let the twins'' help us."

    Countess Helen Rose: "Son, just promise me one thing."

    Yuan: "Yes Ma''am what is it?"

    Prince Stephen: "You will call us Mom and Dad from now on. And endure Isabele''s cravings for now."

    Duke Lawrence: "Just pray that her cravings will only last for 3 months….. Luna''s cravings lasted until the 9 months and Francois, Dimitri and Ryder suffered a lot from her."

    Duchess Anastasia: "Especially Francois, if you have hickeys, Yuan…Francois has bites on his shoulders and sometimes Luna asks for him to cook something and she just sniffs it and lets Francois or Dimitri ate it."

    Duke Lawrence stood up and walks in front of him. "Welcome to the family….. I hope you will protect not only Isabele because she will be your wife but also all the people of HADES" Duke Lawrence informs him.

    Yuan: "Don''t worry Sir, I will do everything in my power to protect them, to protect them to Chen''s and the Su''s. Even if this will cost the end of my friendship to Louie."

    All great bosses'' nods their head for agreement on his words, Dimitri made the necessary arrangements of Yuan''s abrupt engagement proposal/wedding to Isabele. Ryder called the Wu triplets and informs them to come to Penthouse 2 and bring the twins. Duke Lawrence didn''t stop Ryder to summon the twins'' for they all knew that they also need their genius minds on this matter.
