Chapter 128 - 128 Sofia…..I’m sorry but I don’t love you…. I just use you

What goes around comes around ---- Anonymous 

Bernard was very happy when he went inside the room assigned to him and his sister, Stacy already saw the smile on her brother's face. "What's into you bro?" Stacy asks him.​​

"I have a surprise for you later little sister, but I don't want you to react as if you truly know her that much. We have to protect her" Bernard replied to her; Stacy got a hunch about what his brother is yakking about, she knew that Bernard is searching for Luna since the day he found out that she is not dead. "Have you found her brother? Did she recognize you? Did she asks about me?" Stacy showered Bernard with questions.

Bernard: "Stacy! Stop. Yes, I found her, I don't know if she recognizes me but she let her guard down when she is talking to me not like when she talks to Louie Chen. Since she didn't recognize me, she didn't ask about you yet, maybe later if she will see you, she might remember both of us. But don't call her by the name Luna."

Stacy furrowed her brows, "She goes by the name Autumn Vallini, I don't know the reason yet my dear little sister. We just have to endure it for a while….let's protect her" Bernard informed his sister.

Rosela thought that after the director left, Luna and her will go back to their room but Luna told her that she will play cupid for someone. She thought that she will play cupid for the Wu triplets. "Luna….I'm nervous about what you are thinking right now," Rosela told her, Luna giggled…."We will just fix someone up Lady Rosela, the Moon's magic must work this time."

Lauren's room

Kate and Lauren are eating their morning snack when they heard a knock on their door, Kate volunteered to open it.

Kate: "Countess, Princess Rosela"

Lauren looks up and saw who is their visitors, Luna gestured her not to stand up anymore as she and Rosela took their seats on a sofa facing her. Rosela already got the hunch who is Luna talking about fixing someone's up.

Luna: "Baroness Lauren, how are you?"

Lauren: "Please Countess, don't call me Baroness. It makes me uneasy. Lauren….just call me Lauren.'

Luna: "Then call me Autumn or Moon. You too Ms. Kate, don't call me Countess."

Kate: "No Countess, but if you want I can call you Ms. Autumn or Ms. Moon if you insist on not calling you Countess."

Luna: "Okay….. Ms. Autumn then."

Lauren: "Ms. Autumn, I would like to thank you for the 2 sets of gown you have given to us for tomorrow's event."

Luna: "That's my gift to you and Ms. Kate. And Lauren, I want you to meet someone. Later, after lunch….I will let Pearl fetch you two."

Lauren: "Ms. Autumn, I am not yet ready to meet someone, I am sorry.'

Rosela: "Lauren, you won't regret it. Just grant Autumn's request, then if you are not interested you could simply tell it to her after you meet the one she is telling you."

Lauren nods her head, "Ms. Lauren if may I ask, You said that Bernard Dantes is a film director, and you two live together for quite some time. Do you have a song for each other?"

Lauren's brows creased and look at Kate, "I can't remember, but I have two songs for him. Why do you ask?" Lauren asks Luna. "Nothing, I just want to know because sometimes the lyrics of a song are the unspoken words of the heart and soul of the people who want to share it with you," Luna told her.

Kate: "Lauren, I remember Bernard Dantes's song for you! He always hums it, at first I can't understand what it is but when I ask one of his staff for the title of it they told me that the title of the song is FOREVER."

Rosela: "Forever? Do you remember the melody, Kate?"

Kate: "Wait, I've searched it a long time ago, I just forgot to show it to you Lauren. I'm sorry"

Lauren: "It's okay, past is past."

Rosela: "So where is it, Kate? Let's hear it."

Kate took her phone and access the memory card of her phone to look for the song.

"Forever by DAMAGE" Luna blurted out as she heard the first 3 stanzas of the song (youtube.com/watch?v=4oAOuCa5AiM). Lauren heard the full details of the song, then her tears fall to her cheeks, "Kate…..Kate, he loves me" Lauren said to Kate as she sobs.

Luna smiled…now she knew how to attack the two love birds. Rosela like her smile…..that smile was quite evil and she already knew that Luna will put out a show to Sofia.

Lauren: "Ms. Autumn, I made a mistake again…. I let go of Bernard because I thought he didn't love me that much."

Luna: "Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn't mean they have to pay for them for the rest of their life. Sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn't mean they are bad. It means they are human. But sometimes when someone hurts you so much, that even time can't heal the wounds you intend to give them the retribution they deserve so that they can also feel the pain they've given to you."

Lauren and Kate were dumbfounded to Luna's words but Rosela just chuckled; she knew that Luna still has wounds that are not healed yet especially right now that she learned about what Suzy Su has done to her mother. 

"Don't mind me, Lauren. So later, after lunch, we will see each other" Luna told her. Lauren nods her head and smiled at her, but Lauren can sense there is a hidden meaning to her words. It seems that it is full of resentment towards someone, but she knew that it was not for Francois rather it is for someone who has tormented her in the past.

After lunch has come, Pearl fetches Lauren and Kate to their room as per Luna's order and escorted them to the garden of the Mystic Hotel. Bernard and Stacy also receive a message from her that she will be waiting for Bernard at the same venue. Bernard and Stacy were very excited as they can see again the Moon, especially Bernard.

When they arrive at the venue Bernard was the first one to react when he saw a woman standing whom her back was facing him but still he recognize her. The woman he used to loved when he can't find Luna in Italy.

Bernard: "Lauren?! Baroness Lauren?"

Lauren trembles when she heard her name was called by a very familiar voice. A man's voice who she longs to see, the man she misses so much, and the man she offered her body, heart, and soul. She slowly turned her body to face the man, but she was puzzled to see him with a woman on his side. Stacy was also puzzled, she didn't know who this woman is, this is the first time she met her. Kate and Pearl are just observing the three as they don't want to break the tension but Pearl got a message through her Bluetooth device on her ears.

Pearl: "Baroness, Lady Autumn will be late for a while, Director Dantes Lady Autumn said that the three of you have to wait here for a while."

Kate: "Three? Why Three?"

Pearl smiled at her and winks at her, Kate got the message already. After they left Pearl instructed all employees that are present at the venue to look after them. Then the song FOREVER by Damage suddenly heard by the people around them. 

Bernard: "How are you, Lauren?"

Stacy: "Who is she?"

Lauren is just silent but her eyes betrayed her, her tears are already falling non-stop. Bernard got worried and he rushed towards her and hugs her tightly, Stacy was still puzzled for the identity of the woman. "This is not Luna? Oh, my big brother is she the woman you've told me once when you are drunk?" Stacy told to herself. Lauren is already crying when Bernard embraces her, she can't hide her feelings for him…she can't contain her tears not to fall.

"Hush now my little kitten…. please don't cry…I'm here… I am already here little kitten" Bernard whispered to her ears. Luna and Rosela are watching from afar, she planned for them to meet again. "How did you know that this kind of thing will happen Moon?" Rosela questioned her. "I can see it through Lauren's eyes" Luna replied. 

Unknowingly to them Sofia, Rita, and Aira saw Bernard Dantes and Lauren at the garden hugging to each other, Sofia was fuming in rage and jealousy. "Who the hell is she? Bernard is mine…..Only mine" Sofia told to herself. Aira and Rita saw that the two seems like lovers from what they are acting. "Is that Director Bernard Dantes Sofia? Your lover? The one you said that…..the man who is very much obsessed with you?" Aira asks her. "Then who is the woman he is embracing and it seems that he is very gentle to her?" Rita added flame to the fire. 

She walks unto them when she halted her steps, she saw Autumn Vallini approaches them, Autumn, courtside to Lauren; and it seems that they are exchanging each other some pleasantries. 

Sofia: "That's Autumn Vallini, how come she knew Bernard?"

Aira: "Do they know each other? Have they met before?"

Sofia: "How would I know? Even if that Autumn Vallini is Luna, it can't be that they've met before."
