Chapter 151 - 151 THE BIG DAY

A good woman doesn't want superman. She knows he doesn't exist. All she wants is a good man who can bring loyalty, stability, and consistency to her life. ----Anonymous 

December 24, Mystic Hotel (The day has finally come)​​

The much-awaited day has finally arrived, the day of the Charity Gala. The Hades and Phantom people were everywhere, some pretend to be members of the wait staff and bartender, some are kitchen staffs, some are members of the bodyguards of the royals, members of the orc.h.e.s.tra, and some pretends to be attending the said event. All prominent people from all branches of the business world of City A were also invited, the mayor and his family, and even almost all the prominent people under the military families. 

The paintings that will be auctioned are already displayed at the center of the stage, also the violin of Luna which is at the very center of the stage, the jewelry, gowns, antique items, and priceless collections. All the guests have an assigned table allotted for them, the very center of the venue was heavily guarded for the entrance of the royals and their family. Everyone is gossiping about who are the Vallini's and why they are having an auctioned like this in their country. 

Artemis and Soteria were assigned at the entrance of the venue, they are the ones that will see to it that every attendee have an invitation before they will enter the venue, Everyone was amazed on how the venue looks like a garden of Eden with the touch of powder blue, silver and white. 

The first one to arrive at the venue was the Su family; Sofia looks not so good on her red long gown with a slit on her left side, she wears an arm sling to her right arm. Rita and her father were with them, Rita wears a chiffon strapless dress, and for just a minute or two Aira with her parents arrives. The Mother and Daughter tandem wears a gown made by a rival fashion designer of Cassie Wu named "Star." They were escorted to their table by two people from the Phantom, their table is on the left side facing the table of Louie. 

The next one to arrive was Louie, his parents, and Kim with his date "Pearl" who looks so stunning to her little black dress which compliments to her pearly white skin. The men of HADES were dumbfounded seeing her like that, for them, the ruthless mercenary of HADES became a lady of the night. They all knew that she is a beauty hidden to her strong aura. Eros was smiling while he rushes to their side and ushers them to their table near the stage, Pearl glared to Eros as she already knew that they will pester her after the event. Hermes and Eros were assigned on escorting the guest to their tables with the men of the Phantom. 

The men of the Phantom are all scared to the men and women of HADES, they once reported to Harry that the HADES gives a chilling aura to them; and they all knew that they can't offend them nor argue to any topic they will talk about. Hermes approach Artemis for he can't find his younger brother Ares.

Hermes: "Artemis, where is Ares? I didn't find him since yesterday."

Artemis: "Master Dimitri gave him a mission that's what I know. But to where it is I don't know."

Then suddenly two pairs came in front of them, Bernard Dantes and Baroness Lauren with Stacy and Ares. "Ares?!" Hermes and Artemis said in unison. Ares blush as he can't explain to them yet why he was in that situation right now, "I'll escort them to their table" Eros butts in as he can see how bashful and with crimson red face Ares was right now. Stacy wears a magenta long gown made by Cassie Wu, while Baroness Lauren is wearing a Cinderella-like blue gown that emphasizes her waist. Sofia saw Bernard with a date and she is envious right now…..no she thinks she is jealous. The night was supposed to be hers and not to any women here. 

When Louie arrived he didn't even bother to look for her and even take a glance to her and now even Bernard did that also to her. As Eros guided the four to their table near at the VIP tables, all men and women of HADES gave their courtesy to Baroness Lauren, "I think Luna ordered them to give courtesy to me Bernard, I am sorry if this will make you a bit strange" Lauren whispered to Bernard. Bernard holds her hand tighter "It is not strange at all little puppy, and didn't Luna told you that you have the right to be called Baroness" Bernard whispered back and gave her a peck on her cheeks. Stacy on the other hand was very happy, for her date is the man of her dreams, tall, dark and very handsome.

But she didn't forget to tease her brother and his date "Hey you two! Single lady here with a date and hoping he will be the one for me. So stop your being lovey-dovey to each other for a while and focus your eyes on the stage" Stacy said but gave her sweetest smile to her brother and Lauren. Lauren giggled and she looks at Ares who is now red as a tomato, "Oh Ares, you will grow fond of her after this event. She is a very gullible but intelligent woman. You two are perfect for each other, the bosses of Hades didn't make a mistake of choosing you being Stacy's date for tonight" Lauren blurted out. Ares smiled bashfully. 

Then after Eros ushered them he went to Hermes and Artemis who is still in shock, Soteria shook his head as he witnessed that they can't believe that Ares has a date to a beautiful and s.e.xy lady. Ares who has a gynophobia especially in functions like this, "Does the twins' played with Ares this time? Does he offend them?" Hermes asks the three gentlemen around him as he pitied his brother. "It was the Knights and Master Dimitri and Master Ryder's idea" Soteria answered his question. Hermes looks at Soteria is shocked, "Do they want my brother to get laid tonight?" he asked again, the other three men shrugged off their shoulders as they didn't know the answer either. 

Then Elder Cheungs arrives, the four men courtside to them as they all knew that they are Luna's grandparents. Elder Lucas and Eva wears a couple of outfits, they are both wearing like an Emperor and Empress clothes. They are ushered by Artemis and Eros to their table together with Director Bernard, Baroness Lauren, Stacy, and Ares. Ares stood up and paid his respect to the Elders. James saw who the two new guests are but since their face was covered by masked he can't recognize them but he was somewhat familiar to the way they walk and stands. 

Next to arrive was the parents of the Wu triplets who were also seated on the table where the Cheung's was, they knew each other and they both have a conversation about the past. It is Eros who introduces to them Baroness Lauren, Director Bernard, and Stacy. The Elders already knew who was Ares and they complimented the young man for he is very handsome this night. 

The orc.h.e.s.tra was playing some music's which are some of Luna's favorite songs that Louie didn't know. Louie and his parents shocked to see the other guest around them, he saw the Old Lee couples, their long time servants and Old driver Lu seated next to the Cheung's. Louie scans the area as he wants to see James Su if he already saw the other people inside the venue, Louie and his parents recognize them immediately even they are all wearing masked.

"Sofia, where do you think is Yuan?" Rita asks her friend as she can't find her target. "I don't know and I don't care!" Sofia answered her irritably; for Sofia, she was pissed off…very pissed off. Louie didn't even take a glance at her, he didn't even ask her how was she and what happen to her after Kim's date hurts her. She wants to show her wrath but she was restraining herself, she still wants to observe if the Lady Luna will seduce her husband Louie and her bedmate Bernard. 

Then suddenly the orc.h.e.s.tra played the song Stairway to Heaven (youtube.com/watch?v=dR5GN2aPsyY) as the lights dimmed, it means that the host is now ready to come in anytime. The people of Hades and Phantom as instructed were alerted and went to their formation as they will all protect everyone who will be entering the venue. 

Then out of nowhere, a voice was heard at the stage, Audrey was already there and she will be announcing the arrival of the royalties. She asks everyone to stand up as they will all courtside as the name was being called, she also gave the signal to the orc.h.e.s.tra on what music they will be playing next. 

"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the Charity event of the Vallinis and Vendari's. As I want to present to you the men and women of the royalties" Audrey announces then music (youtube.com/watch?v=-tzvebu6U08) was played as she called the first name.
