Chapter 48 The Four Knights…..Viscount Francois Vendari (2)
"What about your ex-wife Mr. Louie Chen? Do you have a song for her?" Isabele blurted out and Louie didn't expect that question. But shook his head. "How come you don't have a song for her and yet to Ms. Sofia Chen you have one….. Does it mean that you don't love your first wife?" Isabele added a little fire to the burning situation that is happening right now.
Just before Louie can answer Isabele's question their orders just arrive and they silently ate it when suddenly Autumn speaks up….. "You know Mr. Louie Chen I have a song for you and your wife Sofia. And as matter of fact I can sing it for you", Louie stop eating as his lips twitch and Assistant Yuan suddenly looks up to Autumn.
"So what will be your song for us Ms. Autumn?" he ask her with a confusing tone. Then suddenly Autumn sang Louie and Sofia's wedding song; actually that song is their couple dance song but Louie dedicate that song to Sofia:
When I fall in love
When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world
Like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
(Oh let me give my heart)
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too (I feel that way too)
Is when I'll fall in love (I fall in love)
With you
When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
Oh I'll never never fall in love
In a restless world
Like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool…
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give (I'll never give) my heart
(Oh I'll never give my heart)
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love
When I fall in love
When I fall in love with you
When Isabele heard the first lyric of the song she didn't hesitate to follow Autumn, they've sung it beautifully as a duet. Louie's face paled, he can't believe that this woman in front of him knew the song he dedicate to Sofia. As the song finish, then again all the people inside the restaurant clapped their hands and both amazingly ladies gave their thanks. Assistant Yuan on the other hand was dumbfounded as he gaze to Autumn, he tries to observe her as for how did she knew the song that was his boss always sing to Sofia. The temperature at the restaurant suddenly drops below negative zero as Assistant Yuan can feel the cold temperature that his boss/friend emits but the two women doesn't mind it at all.
"How did you know that song?" Louie ask Autumn, "Everybody knows the song Mr. Louie Chen. But if you will ask me why I pick that song for you and your lovely wife... I can read it through your eyes and to your gestures last December 3 at the Annual Party of your company" Autumn explained to him. But still Louie didn't believe her, he wants to dig in…. he wants her to explain further for why she chose that song….. Only his friends and Assistant Yuan knew that was his song for Sofia because all the while he thought that Sofia is the woman behind the masked. Autumn smiled at him but Louie can see through her eyes that she mocks him….. No he can feel her hatred to him.
"Autumn I think we better go now?" Isabele told Autumn. "We still need to do a makeover to you" she added. 'Make Over?! What do you mean make over?!" Autumn uttered as she was shock for what Isabele told her. "We have an event tonight at our garden… it is a family event and we need to be beautiful, elegant and stunning" Isabele informed her. "So that's why everybody is busy? But why you didn't tell me ahead of time?" again Autumn bombarded Isabele with a question but now she was a bit angry. Assistant Yuan suddenly butt in….. "Ms. Celine do you want me to accompany you and Ms. Autumn?" "Oh! No Peaches, I'm so sorry but now you can't because this is a kind of girly thing and I don't want you to get tired" Isabele explained to Yuan as she touches his face. Louie was not still on his senses after Autumn answered him about her choice of song.
Assistant Yuan didn't insist anymore but he insist that he will pay for their breakfast. Autumn realizes that Louie is still at daze for something….. As she stood up from her chair she taps his shoulder, "A penny for your thoughts Mr. Louie Chen?" she ask as Louie back to his senses, he blinks his eyes as he can see that Autumn and Celine will be leaving now. He suddenly grips Autumn's wrist and stop her from leaving, "Please tell me, how you knew that was my song for Sofia?" he ask Autumn...
Autumn smiled at him as she leaned closer to him and whispered to his ears "I knew it all along Louie…..Even after you married the Moon….. I pitied myself back then because you never love me even the slightest". Louie felt that a bucket of cold water was poured unto him as his release his hands from his grip to Autumn's wrist and his face turned paled as white as a pearl. Autumn smiled again and stood up... She also smiled to Yuan and hugs him tightly, Isabele also smiled and gives a peck on Yuan's cheeks. And both women went out from the restaurant.

Villa 8
"Is everything ready?" Scarlet ask everybody as she was the nervous one…. She wants this to be perfect….. She wants his brother to be perfect in the eyes of Luna….. Flowers are very well arranged and even the lights, the fountain in the middle of the garden is also functioning well. They already have the video and photographers from HADES OREGANIZATION ready…. Alexei didn't know if he will laugh or cry….. As he can see how nervous and anxious this fierce, ruthless and merciless woman he have known since childhood.
"Lady Scarlet the piano is already on position and also the other musical instruments' that we will be using in serenading the Moon". Taylor informed her, she nodded and ask for the Lee couple if food is also ready and the audio – video presentation is ready. Old Butler didn't knew how strict this beautiful lady for this event and he can't help himself but to chuckled. "Milady, you have to take a rest, we didn't want you to be so stress" Housekeeper Lee told her. "Grandma, I can't not until Luna will gave her answer to my brother" she explained to old lady. "if you will be stubborn enough to be nervous and anxious, I will never ask your hand to your father" Dimitri threatened her as he can feel that Scarlet is having her panic attack…. No she is having a nervous breakdown because it takes six years before her brother have the courage to confess to his sister. Scarlet gave a deep sighed as she knows that every word of Dimitri is true….. The Lee couple laughs as they saw the tactics of Dimitri to Scarlet... if they only knew that only Dimitri can tamed this lioness lady.
All people inside the Villa 8 ate their light lunch as Isabele message them that around 5pm they will be arriving, so they have to be ready. As soon as Francois got her message he become nervous….. As he walks back and forth at the study and the other three knight are already having their headaches for seeing him like that…. and Ryder catch his every moves on his video cam…. He wants to show this piece to the presentation later. The twins are also excited as they will also be performing later… their mom should say yes to their prince….. Dimitri on the other hand orders everyone to change their clothes in a casual attire, since everyone in the Villa is their family, they all have to attend the proposal….. Luna's family motto is "NO ONE MUST LEFT BEHIND"….. And that is one of the HADES ORGANIZATION rules also since she arrived to their lives. He also got a call from their father Duke Lawrence and he already gave his blessing for the said event. For Duke Lawrence, their father and the rest of the HADES ORGANIZATION….. Whoever Luna chooses to be her husband among the four knights is okay with them. But if she wants to get back to Louie Chen, the organization will surely annihilate the whole Chen family in an instant, no questions ask…..

Villa 8: 5:00 PM
The time has come….. And everybody is in his place. And the guard at the gate message them already that the Ferrari is already approaching the gates. As the car enters the gate, Isabele was very nervous as she was given an order by Dimitri to blindfolded Luna as they enter the Villa. She sigh deeply and said "Luna, you know that you are very precious to me….. To us….. But I have to do this…. And I hope you will forgive me after this event….." Luna was very nervous because Isabele suddenly sobs and her statement seems to be sad….. "What do you mean by that Pretty Isa? Don't make me feel nervous…." Luna told her. Isabele look to Luna's eyes and said….. "I want you to wear this" Isabele handed a black blindfold to her…. "I'll help you to wear it" she added. As Isabele tightly fold it on the eyes of Luna, someone opened the car door. Luna's heart beats as fast as she didn't know what will happen next... "My Princess, hold my hand as I guide you" Luna heard Ryders voice and felt his hand and grips it tightly.
As they walk Luna can hear a melody….. A piano has been played and she knows that music….. She have heard it before but she can't remember when and where, but when a baritone voice sung the lyrics of the music her tears started to flow to her eyes… and even though it is still blindfolded her tears didn't stop…. The music continues playing… the words of the songs like a confession to her...
Don't know what to do; Don't know what to say
I have loved you only in my mind
But I know that there will come a time
You'll feel this feelin' I have inside
You're a hopeless romantic is what they say
Fallin' in and out of love just like a play
Memorizin' each line
I still don't know what to say
What to say
Don't know what to do
Whenever you are near
Don't know what to say
My heart is floating in tears
When you pass by I could fly
Every minute, every second of the day
I dream of you in the most special ways
You're beside me all the time
All the time
I have loved you and I always will
Call it crazy but I know someday you'll feel
This feelin' I have for you inside
I'm a hopeless romantic I know I am
Memorized all the lines and here I am
Struggling for words
I still don't know what to say
What to say
Don't know what to do
Whenever you are near
Don't know what to say
My heart is floating in tears
When you pass by I could fly
Every minute, every second of the day
I dream of you in the most special ways
You're beside me all the time
Luna can't contain what she is feeling right now…. Her grip to Ryders hand so tight and Ryder can feel her body trembles. Everyone present at the garden can see how Francois loves Luna. Ryder whispered to Luna's ears "My Princess, wait here for a while, just be patient for a bit okay". Luna nodded but still she is very nervous.
