Louie Chen is still staring to the retracting figures of the three persons he just met; especially to the man who is carrying the woman named Autumn. He is still at dazed and Ethan can see through his face. He also wonders who are those people and the woman who looks like Luna. They didn't noticed that Sofia is already looking on them and as she approach them she got confused,
Sofia called Louie…. Louie My dear…..Louie.....Louie! breakfast is ready, let's go inside the house so that you can have your breakfast; I've cooked your favorite French toast and Buttermilk waffle. Louie is still at gaze to the gates of Villa 8 and he didn't notice that Sofia is already on his side. Ethan needs to nudge him on his side for him to be back into the reality…. Ahhhhhmmmmm what did you say My Dear? He uttered. I said breakfast is ready My Dear Louie, Sofia said it sweetly; Ethan please join us okay. Ethan just nod his head as he was also in shock to see how Louie is so confused. He knows to his heart that the woman they just met is none other than Luna Su… his ex-wife; but if she is really Luna then how come she can't remember who they are? Is it that she have an amnesia? And who is that man just carry her?
My Dear why is it that you look so pale? Are you not feeling well? Do we need to go to the hospital to have you check on by Doctor Si? Louie was startled when he heard Sofia ask him. He then look to Sofia, No My Dear; I'm definitely okay and I am not sick. Maybe it's just the morning run that's why I look so pale. Louie answered Sofia then he smiles...lets' eat now. Although he answered her for Sofia, she is not contented to it. She is still confused on how come her husband looks so depressed. Maybe because, it's been 5 years and yet they are not still blessed to have a child. And she knows that' since Louie is the only child of the Chen family; having an heir to their family is so important. She needs to work on it. She needs to get pregnant by hook or by crook.
Ethan can sense that the atmosphere at the dining table is now intense. Ahem! Ahem! He coughs to get their attention….. Ahmmm, Louie did you know that on the Charity Vintage Masquerade Gala by Infinity Jewelry Corporation on the 24th of December is that we, male guests needs to do a "so called" talent portion. It's either we will sing, dance, or play a musical instrument. And there is also a news that I have gathered that the children of one of the heirs of Duke Lawrence will be performing. I think the children's age are 4 or 5 years old. Ethan relay the news to Louie as he observes the reaction of the couple. So we really need to have a performance on the said event? Sofia ask Ethan with a confusing look. Ethan only nods his head.
Of all the charity gala that we have attended; this is the first time that the guest needs to perform a talent as he explains his side to Ethan. It is said that the female heirs wants to showcase the hidden talents of the guest who will attend the gala. It will be randomly selected electronically and we will perform impromptu. Ethan states the procedure to Louie; as both the couple gaze on Ethan. We will only attend the gala for us to know who the heirs of the Infinity Jewelry Corporation are and we can ask them for a private talk for the collaboration of our company to theirs. Sofia said while she slices her waffle.
Louie, who do you think is that guy we just met? Ethan ask him as he remembers the words of the Viscount. Maybe he is one of the heirs of the Vallini's and the woman we just met that we mistook as Luna is his wife. Louie answers Ethans' question. After a while they've finished their breakfast. My Dear, Ethan and I needs to be in the office now for we will have a meeting. I'll just call you when I get there ok. Louie bids goodbye to Sofia as he kiss her on the cheeks and Sofia smiled sweetly unto him. You both take care My Dear she reminded Louie.
Louie didn't knew that upon arriving to his company there will be a big surprise on his lifetime…. No ….. Maybe he will be shocked for what he will see.....

Taylor have you delivered already the package to the Chen Fashion Jewelry Corporation? Autumn ask her driver. Yes Miss Autumn, I've delivered it and as you have said no one must know that it came from you. It is successfully accepted by the receptionist. Taylor reports to Autumn as they are eating at the dining hall…. Autumn makes it a point that all of them, even the servants will eat together and in one large dining table. She doesn't want that someone will be left behind. That's the character that Ryder and Dimitri, the underground staff of her adoptive father, company staff and servants likes to her… even her new found friends they like that kind of attitude. She treats everyone as family. Thank you Taylor, as she smiled devilishly as she thinks of Louie's face as he opens the package.
What did you do this time milady? Ryder ask her. Oh! My dear brother Ryder, I just want to inform my ex-husband that the Moon will start to shine on his horizon and the black flower is back on business…. And she laugh so loudly just like a kid that has gotten her favorite gift from Santa. So that's why you ask for a "Black Rose", Lady Scarlet said as she was also surprise to what Autumn did….. Did you put the "tick tock" on the package? Viscount Francois ask. OH yes!!!!! And after that…. Kaboom!!!!! Hahahahaha Autumn said as like she was a villain in a fairytale…. Then the 5 masters of the house begun to laugh…. Oh Autumn you are a one mischievous little evil…. Lady Scarlet was amuse by Autumn's tactics...
The Lee couple and the servants are just confuse too what they've heard, but they didn't questioned their masters for they are so happy to see their Miss Luna is now smiling… a smile that they've longing for to see after she left them…

Chen Fashion Jewelry Corporation
Good Morning Sir!!! All employees greets the two big boss of the company; as Louie and Ethan walks to their private elevator the receptionist told them that there is a package just arrived this morning; and the package is already sent to Louie Chen's office… Louie just furrowed his brows as he think who will send him the package. Ethan seems like an excited little kid, he wants to know who the person dares to get the attention of his devilish friend who is now on bad mood since they've left the Chen Villa. As the elevator stops on the 58th floor, Assistant Yuan greets them.
Good Morning Sir, a package just arrived early today and it was sent to your office now. Assistant Yuan said; who do you think send it, Louie inquire Assistant Yuan.
Ahhmmm Sir….. Assistant Yuan is hesitant to answer him then he whispered to Louie; the name of the sender is "LUNA SU". Both Louie and Ethan is shock upon hearing the name and they can't believe it. As they are enter the door of Louie's office they've seen the package.
To: Louie Chen (my ex-husband)
From: Luna Su (your ex-wife)
Louie and Ethan are both shock to see what is written on the paper. This is Miss Luna's hand writing Sir, Assistant Yuan breaks the cold silence of the room. Louie takes off the piece of paper and hides it on his coats pocket then he starts to open the package; at first they've seen a black rose…. Louie stared at the rose as he holds it. He knew that it was one of Luna's favorite flower. It is a rare one as he remembers while reminiscing what Luna have told to him. After that a folded paper was also included to the package, as he opens his eyes begun teary and his hands started to shake as he can't imagine that Luna is still alive... His LUNA... he finished reading what is written on the paper and he close his eyes to prevent the tears to flow….. Ethan got interested on what Louie had read as he snatched the paper on his hand…. While Assistant Yuan just staring on him….. As he reads it he was surprised and he reads it loud for Assistant Yuan to hear:
Dear Ex-Husband Louie Chen:
I just want to say that the Moon starts to shine in on the horizon on your life now…. It will be the beginning of your regrets…. I'm back but not in your life…. Just wait and see….. Open your eyes dear ex-husband… for the Moon will strike on your life…..
Give my regards to your family and my ex-family.
Luna your ex-wife
Then all of a sudden there is a sound of a ticking clock. The three gentlemen startled as they don't know where it came from….. Then out from nowhere a smoke coming out from the package then a loud.... KABOOM!!!!!! A black smoke came out from the package and the whole office of Louie is filled with it. The three gentlemen rushed out from the office as they cough. The paper that Ethan holds is not smeared by the thick smoke, as it was that there is no any written words on it. The only paper that is save was the note on Louie's pocket.
The Black Rose is still on Louie's office table and it is like glittering from a moist of the smoke.
