While everyone is busy at the torture room, James Su, Edward, and Mia Chen were invited to the music room by the Duke and the rest of the great bosses. They're escorted by Nikolai, Ivan, and Irwin, the trusted men of Viscount Christian and Duke Lawrence, while the Cheung Elders, and the Wu triplets' parents are also escorted by the wives of the great bosses. ​​

Inside the music, there is a round table with eighteen chairs but at the very center of the table has three chairs allotted for James, Edward, and Mia. The three were already seated when the great bosses arrive, followed by the Cheung Elders and the parents of the Wu triplets.

There is a separate table for foods consist of Pad Thai, Seafood Laksa, Chocolate Cream Puffs, Spicy Buttered Shrimps and Lobsters, Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Chocolate Truffles, Mango Shake, Ddukbokki, Spicy Tteokbokki, and Milk Teas.

Prince Timothy: "Let's read the reports regarding each one of you. No one must talk if you are not questioned by anyone of us. If ever you b.u.t.t into our conversation you will be punished according to what we like; Lady Lily, the Cheung Elders and the parents of the Wu triplets have the privilege of giving their side comments to each report we will be reading."

James and Edward were both silent but Mia was quite frantic, she has a paled face, sweats on her forehead starts to flow, and her body trembles because of nervousness. On her thoughts, she was very afraid that her husband will know her dark secrets. 

Duke Rainer: "Edwards Chen, the only son, and heir of the Chen Clan. You are the Chairman of the Chen Corporation after your parents gave the position of CEO/PRESIDENT to your only son Louie Chen. Your parents are the former friends of the Cheung Elders, I said former because they cut ties from the moment they've learned about Luna's death and also when they found out what your son has done to her to their nine-month of marriage."

Duchess Anastasia: "I think we have to do the same to your son? The torments and the way he hurt our Moon, your son must have the same treatment so that he will know the feeling of it."

Duke Lawrence: "Hush Milady, my sons, the Knights, Ladies of the Court, Pearl, and the right-hand guys are already doing their jobs as of the moment. As we speak, Louie and his two other friends are already having their punishments."

Mia: "NO! Not my son. Please! You can hurt me but not my son!"

Countess Helen: "Ivan gave Mia Chen five slaps."

PAK! PAK! PAK! PAK! PAK!

In the blink of the eye, Mia receives five crisps slaps and it gave her a bruise on the right corner of her lips. Ivan didn't b.u.t.t the eye of giving her pity for their bosses are known as the deadliest person to offend. Ivan didn't care if she is a woman when he gave her five hard slaps. Edward and James just gasp when they witness the way Mia suffered in the hands of the man named Ivan. 

Lily: "Honey, does she needs to be punished like that?"

Duke Lawrence: "Yes Honey, we have told the rules a while ago. But she didn't follow it so she deserved to be punished."

Countess Grace: "Don't worry Lady Lily, the slaps are not that brutal. You must remember Mia Chen is the reason why you end up marrying James Su, she is also behind about your divorce with James Su for she helps Suzy, and for what happened to you for so many years."

Prince Timothy: "Just leave everything to us, all you need to do is stay back and relax for the show."

The wives of the great bosses and Lily giggled upon hearing Prince Timothy's words. James and Edward were just staring at Lily, while Mia is sobbing for the pain that she just have and to see that her husband didn't do anything nor even console her. Then suddenly Edwards seemed remembered one special song he dedicates to Lily when they broke up and when he saw her marrying James Su from afar, Edward remembered each lyric that he intended to tell Lily when they meet again. 

"I just can't forget you

And the moments we're together

Every single word you've said to me

I'll always remember

You said you feel the same way too

I felt the happiness I've longed to feel

And I hope that this will never end

Forever I'll be with you

This love that I feel

Is only for you

And I promise that I will be true

And I will stay forever with you"

I'll always be beside you

In the bad times, we'll get through

You can count on me I will be there

There's no pain that we can't bear"

Edward didn't realize that he bowed his head, closes his eyes and sang the song so loudly that everyone inside the music room heard it, Mia stops sobbing and in a slow-motion, she looks at her husband and stared at him with furrow brows. Mia has a hunch that her husband still has some special feelings for Lily, that's why when Louie divorced Luna he didn't talk to their son for three months, even when they learned about Luna's demised he didn't even ask their son about his plans but rather he made some moves to asked the Wu triplets but those triplets are very stubborn to keep everything confidential. 

Edward senses that eyes are glaring at him, he opened his eyes and lifts his head the eyes of the great bosses and their wives were all on him, Lily gaze on him with a questioning look, the Cheung Elders and the parents of the Wu triplets keep their mouth shut and James...James just bowed his head for he knew in his heart that Edward still loves Lily. 

Nikolai, Ivan, and Irwin were just silent and waits for the orders of their bosses. "What's that for Edward?! Why are you singing such a silly song?!" Mia shouted. "That song is not intended for me and I am sure about it, since the day we got married you've never sung any song for me! And the last time you have sung a silly song was when you and Lily broke up! What! You are now singing because you have found Lily Cheung again!" Mia asks him as her tears flow to her eyes non-stop. 

Edward sighs deeply, "Why do you ask so many questions, and yet you already know the answers?" says Edward but his eyes never left Lily's side but he can feel the glaring daggers that the Cheung Elders are giving to him. "You've done enough Mia, I am just not doing anything back then because I have a son that you bear and give to our family. It is you who climb on my bed back then and you made it sure that Lily will see it. And Yes....that song that I have just sung was my last and only song for Lily when she married James." Edward informed everyone but it is surprised for Mia. 

"So you are telling us that you Edward Chen still have feelings for my future wife. The future lady boss of HADES?" Duke Lawrence asks Edward in a very cold stern voice. Nikolai, Ivan, and Irwin could feel that the atmosphere inside the music room seemed to drop negative zero freezing point. James and Mia are waiting for his answer, but Mia is more nervous to hear that her husband will declare for she thought that Edward has finally forgotten Lily especially when she and Suzy planted some news that Lily died in a car accident. 

Edward: "I didn't die, I love her ever since we become lovers, and even when we broke up....it never changed nor gone. I still love her and will always love her. Even when I got married to Mia, my love for her didn't vanish for her face is engraved to my heart, soul, and mind. Even though you got her heart, she will always be in my heart till the day I die."

Lucas Cheung: "But you didn't explain your side that time. My daughter waited for weeks for you to come to our house and explain yourself about what she witnessed to your room at the dormitory but you didn't even have the guts to come and explained everything. If you are man enough and if you love my daughter why didn't you have the courage to fight for her? Didn't you know that Mia has done so many things to my daughter? and how are you sure that Louie is your son?"

BOOM! A bomb like the sound was heard inside Mia's head, her darkest secret seemed will be revealed for almost twenty plus years. Edward in slow motion looks at Mia with very furious eyes and the anger in his heart seemed begun to erupt but he controls it for he didn't want to stain his hands with Mia's blood. 

Duchess Anastasia: "This seemed quite interesting news"
