With a few guests remaining, Graham was making way inside the mansion when a security guard came rushing towards him," Mr Cullen! I saw the woman. I tried to get her but I lost her and I decided to come and inform you first." "Where did she go?" "She entered the mansion," he answered "Is she alone?" he asked for confirmation. "She was alone when I saw her," he replied. "Gather all the men to look everywhere for her and any suspected people," he ordered and the guard left hurriedly. He rushed inside the house to first look for Dylan because at least he knew where Luna was. He looked for his parents everywhere because he knew that they were the ones with the boy. He then called Vikram but he wasn't picking up his phone. Going back to the backyard, he caught sight of his Dad with Dylan and he felt relieved as he walked to them. "Dad, I need you take Dylan to the guest house right now. Where's mother?" he asked. "She has been talking to a few guests minutes ago but I don't know where she went to. Any problem?," he asked. "Okay. Don't go to the main house for now Dad, we are still dealing with a certain problem. Go with Dylan to the guest house and don't lose sight of him." When he saw that they had entered the guest house, he walked back to the mansion to check if Luna was alright. He knew that Elena's main targets were Luna and Dylan.
Back to the drawing room, Luna was shedding tears after they had told her everything. Her parents had indeed suffered as much as her, or even more.
When she regained her composure, she asked," Why does Elena hate me so much? I don't think I've ever done anything to her." "You shouldn't worry about her honey. She's just a vicious person. Someone who never appreciates however much you give," said Cynthia and she stood up to go to where she was only to ask," Can I hug you?" Luna stood up and nodded before Cynthia embraced her tightly. She couldn't believe that she was hugging her daughter and it wasn't a dream after all these years of separation and suffering. The other two also came and joined the hug and after what seemed like forever, the four parted. "You said I have a grandma. Where's she?" "She remained at the hotel because she couldn't mix with so many people at the party but she is dying to meet you." Luis embraced his sister once again. He was so happy because he now had someone to protect.
After that, Cynthia spoke, "We know that it's not the appropriate time to say this but we are here to be the family that you need and that you've ever needed. It's not early but not too late either. Please accept us as your family, we will try to make up for the lost time." Before she could reply anything, the door was opened and in came Elena. The Howells couldn't believe the nerve of this woman. As soon as Luis's eyes fell on her, he charged towards her with haste but before he could reach her, he halted in his steps when she pointed a gun at him," Not so fast little brother." She left the door wide open to be able to hear when someone is coming. "I'm not your brother you malicious woman!! " he growled. Cynthia on seeing this came closer and pleaded," Please Elena, do anything you want to me but don't hurt my children. Please." Luna was shocked when she saw the woman. She clearly remembered her, the moment they talked in Sun City. Was she already aware of her identity at that time? Elena's eyes narrowed at her words, with pure distaste when she heard that she could die because of that Luna.
"Don't come closer, step back!! " she yelled as she pointed the gun at them and the two took a few steps back, " We would have been a happy family. You didn't have to look for her. I did everything so that you could acknowledge me as your daughter, I scored better grades and worked hard for the company to reach it's heights, but what did you pay me? You kept on looking for your daughter. You just used me, you ingrates!! " Cynthia shook her head denying what she had said and Lucas was quick to answer," Your words won't manipulate us Elena. You will pay for your crimes sooner or later" Elena in turn pointed the gun at Luna and Cynthia panicked then resorted to coaxing her, " Your approach was wrong Elena but we can talk about this. We can still mend this but please, put the gun down."
