Sometimes you will have to make a decision that will hurt your heart but heal your soul. ---- Unknown

    It''s normal to sometimes feel sad after making the right decision. Let your values and the person you wish to become be your North Star, instead of making decisions to avoid uncomfortable feelings.??

    After divorcing Luna, life is very difficult for Louie during those times, and those times he feels incredibly challenging, especially that he can''t feel anything for Sofia beyond s.e.x.u.a.l p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and being proud of having an actress as a wife. It is different when he was still married to Luna and it''s easy letting everything that happens externally, greatly influences him internally. For Louie, it is not easy to get mired down in negativity and fail to see the light at the end of the tunnel, especially now that his newly built relationship with his children seems to get into an endless tunnel that he himself will not see a positive one.

    Even if he pushes all throughout the day, takes several deep breaths, be in the present moment, and places his focused attention on what fulfills him, one thing that brings joy and beauty to his day is his children since he can''t have Luna anymore. He wants to begin a new tomorrow with them, but then again from this foundation of love and confidence how he will gain their trust once again.

    Louie is broken, both bodies, and soul and he doesn''t want people around him to know that he was beyond broken unto his core because he doesn''t have enough words to explain how he has gone to face the future right now. "I am sorry for whatever my grandparents had say and planning. But believe me, I don''t know anything about it and in the case of Sofia and her mother. I will do anything in my power to stop her, I will protect Luna and the twins'' from their evil schemes. Even if I die protecting them, I will do it" Louie breaks the silence that envelopes the whole room.

    Ryder is the one who is very much affected, the bumps and bruises of the struggles of Luna''s nightmare and dark past, hurt worse than anything that others have ever known. The emotional scars that Luna still has and because of what happened tonight it was opened again.

    As Ryder stared at the pale face of his sister, he remembered that sometime in the middle of pain and healing that she has gone through, where she still feels every single heartache it brought tears to her eyes. She had it for the past months after they found her, sometimes her nightmares didn''t leave her and they''ve gone to the point that he, Dimitri, and Francois will accompany her to sleep especially at night. But as they saw how she slowly accepting the what''s and why''s that ask for everything that happened the way it was, at that moment she doesn''t know if forgetting is the best choice but also she knows that it will not erase all the memories.

    "Louie Chen, we must first see to it that Luna is fine then after that we can talk and you have to clarify for us especially to the kids regarding the conversation that they got. If you are wondering how come the kids got those pieces of evidence, (Francois sigh deeply) the HADES put so many bugs at Villa 7, in the apartment where Sofia and Suzy were staying right now, and at the Convent where your mother is staying. And about My Queen''s father, we have people who are staying with him, so whatever he plans will be directly reported to us" says Francois as he still looking at Luna.

    "Let me stay for a while," says Francois, and the whole group gladly accepted it. As everyone walks outside, Marco shut the door. Francois immediately went to Luna and kneeled at the side of the bed, he c.a.r.e.s.ses her face very gently. "My Queen, I hope you are alright. Please be safe and the little angels inside your w.o.m.b. Whatever the issues right now with Louie Chen, let me and the other Knights together with your brothers, and the Ladies of the Court handle it. Don''t stress out yourself, Sofia and her mother will not touch our kids since they will be staying here after we go back to City A. I will use all my connections at City A so that the Chen Elders will not have any power to fight in court for custody or the surname issue. Louie said that he didn''t have any idea about it and we will talk about it later. So My Queen, take a rest for a while, I''ll be back" Francois uttered, and he gave a peck on Luna''s lips. He gently walks out of the room and asks someone to guard the room against the inside and out.

    Francois immediately went to the conference room wherein the others are already discussing what had just happened. When he came inside, he immediately saw Ryder holding Louie''s collar as Xavier and Alexei tried to stop him. Luna is very important to Ryder and he is also very protective when it comes to Luna and the twins. If Dimitri is obviously strict, Ryder is the other way around. You must not bring out the demon t of him, especially if it concerns Luna and the kids.

    "DON''T YOU EVER TELL US ANY LIES LOUIE CHEN, I AM TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW AND I PROMISE THAT I WILL SKIN YOU ALIVE, THEN I WILL POUR A HOT OIL ON YOUR BODY AND LASTLY HANG YOUR BODY  AT THE CENTRAL PARK OF CITYA!| Ryder shouted as he grabs Louie on his collar. Both Xavier and Alexei stop him, but Ryder is very strong, especially if the demon that he is hiding from himself started to come out.

    "I promise to all of you, I don''t know anything about those plans. I, don''t have any idea that my grandparents have plans like that, and about Sofia and her mother, I am expecting that they will do something to Luna but not the kids. Sofia is very envious of Luna and we all know that. She is the reason why my marriage with Luna didn''t work out" Louie explained.
