Chapter 106 - 106 The Director was the first to meet the Moon

Meeting you was like listening to a song for the first time and knowing it would be my favorite----Anonymous

At the Dantes Mansion, Stacy was reviewing some films for her brother Bernard at the movie theater that they have inside the mansion. She is the cinematography artist for her brothers' production and she is also one of the few women who doesn't like Sofia Su being an actress and model at her brothers' pool of artists. She also loathes Sofia for what she has done to her former tutor and friend…..LUNA SU. Stacy knew that Sofia used her brother to get what she wants whether it is a job of someone. ​​

Bernard entered the movie theater and saw her little and only sister watching one of his latest movies. It was a plan to be released on theaters on New Year's Day, he just needs some finishing touches. "Hey, Stacy….what can you say about my film?" he asks his sister whose eyes were stuck at the film she is watching. Stacy gestures to him to keep silent as she needs to focus on the film, Bernard chuckled and shook his head. "Your former tutor does train you greatly to be m.a.t.u.r.e in all things at a very young age," he said to himself.

Stacy already finished the movie, "Does Sofia needs to be on a cameo role in every film that you do? Does her husband didn't gave her money that's why she always wants to be in your film?" Stacy asks him angrily, he knew that her sister loathes Sofia so much. "Can't you delete her scenes? I feel sick seeing her on your films" Stacy added. He just pinches his sisters' cheeks, "I can't do that, you know that….. I still need to gather some pieces of evidence that she is the one who hurt your Moon 5 years ago" he informed Stacy.

"Bernard, why didn't you confess to Luna about your true feelings to her when she was still with us? I mean, she is my tutor even before she got married to Louie Chen" Stacy asks him. "Because that time...when we first met, I honestly had no idea that she would be so important to me and I was enchanted by her innocence and wits. I also remember that she is not just like other women who will do everything just to get my attention" Bernard replied to his sister.

"Come, let's eat….I am so famished and I think I can eat so many Chicken Biryani that the Chef has prepared a while ago," Bernard told his sister as he grabs his sister's hand and drags her outside the movie theater.

Bernard: "You will be my date on the 24th at the charity gala, I want you to meet someone whom I know will be so familiar to you."

Stacy: "If Sofia will be there, I don't want to attend that gala Bernard….even if you drag me there I won't come. You know that I don't want to see her in person nor even her shadow."

Bernard: "My dear sister, Sofia will be there because she is the wife of Louie Chen who is her husband. And Louie Chen is invited to that event, even Sofia's parents are invited."

Stacy: "Then why did you want me to be there?"

Bernard: "Because I want you to meet someone…. Someone whom I surely know that you will be familiar with."

"If that person is Sofia Su…. I'll kill you big brother…. I don't care if our parents will not acknowledge me anymore" Stacy threatens her brother. Bernard laughs as he can feel the killing aura of his sister. "You don't like Sofia, sister you know that I only used her that time. And I admit, I'm still using her; I need to know everything she did to Luna" he told his sister.

Stacy: "If you only confess to Luna about your feelings for her, then maybe she is my sister in law right now and she didn't marry that jerk Louie Chen before. You didn't hasten your moves to her, you were afraid that she might not believe you before. Now we both regret it."

Bernard: "You know that I've tried to confess to her, but I was an hour late, and I still do try to snatch her away to Louie's claws before but it seems that fate didn't allow it.

The siblings silently ate their meals, they both love chicken biryani when Stacy's phone rings; Stacy looks at it and she was surprised to see a very familiar name and number. Stacy answered it and frowns as she heard the report of the private investigator she hired, "What do you mean by that? All about her information's disclosed and all the people there are protecting her?" she irritably answers back. "Just look for other information about her, and I want results before the end of the year" she ordered.

"Who is that dear sister?" Bernard asks her as he put a spoonful of biryani rice to his mouth. 'Oh! It's the private investigator that I hired. I need to know the names of the two adorable kids that I met when I was in Italy last year" Stacy explains to her brother.

Bernard stared at his sister, "Big Brother, do you remember the commercial project that I need to do….. the commercial project that the Chen's ask us about…. The two adorable kids are the right persons to be on that commercial, it's just that I didn't get their names but only their pictures. The people at City of Wise in Italy seem to know their names but they also protect them" she added. Bernard laughs, "Just don't do anything that bad little sister" he reminded her. Stacy nods her head and continues eating her meal.

After their meal, Bernard went to his study room to read some emails that were sent to him by his secretary, Stacy also went to her room as she ransacks her closet to find a gown fitted to the charity gala that she and her brother will be attending on the 24th. Inside Bernard's room, there is a huge oil painting of a lovely teenage girl hanging on his wall….. He remembered that he was the one who painted it….. It was Luna's portrait. He painted Luna by remembering her features as it was stuck on his mind. He adores Luna so much, it's just that he was too late to confess his feeling with her and Luna treats him as her big brother before.

Luna was Stacy's tutor hired by their parents, she is his junior at the university where he studies, he knew that she was Sofia Su's step-sister; they were half-sister. He knew Sofia because of his classmate and he didn't like Sofia at all, but for him; he can use Sofia so that he can get close to Luna. He fell in love with Luna because of her simplicity, the way Luna tamed his sister and most of all….. Luna didn't even show any interest to him not like other girls….not like Sofia and Lauren.

That's why when he saw Autumn Vallini at Louie's anniversary party, his heart beats so fast; he knew that the woman who just entered was Luna. Even the woman has new features, but still, he can tell the whole people who are in the party that she was the Luna he knew. There is one certain feature of Luna that was tattooed on his mind…..and he imprinted it to his mind and heart.

He played the song Tattooed on my mind by the D'Sound

(youtube.com/watch?v=7Us2CHS30VI) it was his song for Luna; especially the lyrics:

And I can't get you out of my dreams

Now I know that you're the dangerous kind

And your smile is tattooed on my mind

And I can't get you out of my dreams

Those are the lyrics fit for what he feels for Luna. He also used his connection just to find Luna. He knew that Luna was not dead, he got a copy of the CCTV footage at the train station before it was broken. He knew that Luna was safe to where she is right now but still he hopes to see her. To let her know what he feels for her.

"You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had. I never knew what true love felt like before, but when I met you…when you came to my life it changes everything." Bernard said to Luna's portrait as he was talking to her. "The day that they said you were dead…that is the worst fear I've ever had in my life, but I didn't stop to prove to myself that the news is wrong and when I found out that you are still alive, I am so happy, " he said to himself.

"I won't let anyone hurt you again Luna, whether it is Louie or Sofia. I will do anything that I could to protect you even it is from behind. Because you are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had," Bernard made a promise to himself. He took his cellphone and called his secretary, he ordered him that Stacy will be his date on the 24th and make his schedule free until the end of the month. He informs his secretary also that he will be helping his sister to her commercial project, his secretary jotted all his orders as his head is already aching. "Boss B, Ms. Sofia called a while ago, she is asking if you can return all her calls for she needs to talk to you about something important" he informed his boss. But Bernard ignores it, "block her number, I don't want to get involve with her" Bernard commands his secretary.
