"Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time." ---- Maya Angelou

As the twins' ended their performance everyone clapped their hands, Louie and his two friends with him clap their hands also and both Ethan and Kim could see how proud father Louie is with his kids. Then when the kids are finished to their performance, the men and women of HADES arrange a total of eight chairs in front, Dimitri, Ryder, Jamil, and the Knights and even the great bosses knew who will be going to perform this time except for the new members of HADES family, Louie, Ethan, and Kim, but the Wu triplets already have some idea of what will happen for they once heard all of them practicing some songs way back at the Villa 8.​​

Suddenly Isabele stood up with Luna, Amber, Scarlet, Rosela, Audrey, and Sapphire walk and seated at the allotted chairs. Scarlet dragged Pearl with her and let her seat beside Luna. "My Love, what are they going to do?" Lily asked Duke Lawrence. Duke Lawrence smiled at his wife "Just wait and see, My Love ever since Luna arrived at the HADES family she change all rules about celebrating special occasions. The showcase of talents will be performed in front of the family to signify how happy we are for the whole year, that even though we have ups and downs we must all be optimistic of how lucky we are to have a life full of blessings" Duke Lawrence explained to Lily. 

Lucas: "What are they going to do?"

Eva: "Isabele, Luna, Be Careful. You two are pregnant."

Yuan and Harry furrowed their brows as they don't know what is happening and they have got slightly nervous to see both women of their lives sitting in front of everyone, while the twins' are giggling to see the worried faces of their Uncle Peaches and Uncle Beautiful eyes as they call them. "Uncle Peaches, Uncle Beautiful eyes, don't worry. Pretty Isa and Gorgeous Amber will not do anything just sit down, relax and watch" Dawn said as she sat on Francois's l.a.p while Winter went to Eros side to a video they said the presentation of the Ladies of the Court of HADES. 

As the Ladies of the Court sat down, Scarlet started to vocalize and it is followed by Isabele and Amber, Audrey, Sapphire, and when they heard Rosela doing some rap kind of beatbox Ethan stared at her. Then Everyone heard Luna's voice as they all sang the 'Love on Top of Beyoncé but the version was just like what the cast of Pitch Perfect has done (youtube.com/watch?v=sE59kPlblPI). 

Jessie smiled as she saw how happy Luna was while singing, "Mi Amore" she called Duke Marco as he was watching the group. "Yes, Cara Mia," Duke Marco asked his fiancé. "Luna and the voices of the Ladies of the Court blended too well. Their voices are very soothing to the ears, when we are kids we sometimes do just like what you are doing the only difference was Luna sings and we sisters play the musical instruments" Jessy informs her fiancé. Marco kiss Jessica Wu's forehead, "Then you three and Luna will perform later, I know Xavier and Alexei will be shocked to see their future wives also have the side of musically inclined thing," says Duke Marco. 

"Louie, Luna is great. She has an angelic voice, Have you heard her sing before?" Ethan asks his friend who is at daze from the moment Luna started to sing. Louie shook his head but still, his eyes didn't leave Luna's face. Then the song Love Me Like You Do (youtube.com/watch?v=ZepZUZWgMG4) was heard immediately after the first song has ended. As the HADES seven beautiful Ladies of the Court sings, Duke Lawrence, Dimitri, and Ryder were very proud of Luna, Luna has changed a lot, she is no longer the very shy and timid Luna when they first saw her and when she woke up after the train station incident. While Francois smiled as he can feel the unspoken words of his wife's towards him especially when they suddenly stop and Luna sang the song by Terrified by Katharine McPhee (youtube.com/watch?v=tHpXxBDXsJw). Francois knew that they are both terrified of what might happen to their relationship once Louie and his grandparents will found out about her being alive and about the twins' but Luna assured to him on the night of their wedding that Louie will not get anything from her, and he will not get the custody of the twins.

Louie on the other hand could feel the song that Luna is singing is for Francois, "She forgot me, I really can't enter her life anymore" Louie mumble and it was heard by Ethan and Kim. Kim sighs deeply as he has this gut feeling that any moment right now Louie might break down because of depression of what is happening to his love life. He didn't expect that when he will meet Luna again, she is no longer free. 

"Louie, always remember what Ms. Jodi Picoult has said. It was one thing to make a mistake; it was another thing to keep making it. I knew what happened when you let yourself get close to someone when you started to believe they loved you: you'd be disappointed. Depend on someone, and you might as well admit you're going to be crushed because when you needed them, they wouldn't be there. Either that or you'd confide in them and you added to their problems. All you ever really had was yourself, and that sort of s.u.c.k.e.d if you were less than reliable." Kim told him. Both Louie and Ethan were surprised to hear Kim talks so seriously like that, he becomes wise in times like this that's what they know although he is a very jolly person from the outside he is very serious and full of compassion in the inside especially in times like this towards his friends. 

Louie: "Thanks Kim, Thanks for those words of advice, I know that I will never have Luna come back to my life but still, I am hoping that she will become my friend. Through that relationship, I can build the trust to her again as it has been broken by me back then, I know that trust means everything especially in the relationship of husband and wife. But once it is broken, how many times we will say the words SORRY....it will mean nothing."

Then suddenly Pearl is leading the group as they sang the song of Adele titled Rolling in the Deep (youtube.com/watch?v=2cCwvRmu-q8) and they saw Eros playing the guitar from the side. Ethan was awestruck upon seeing the woman that he fell in love with singing very professionally, then suddenly they've changed their song to George Michael's "Freedom!" and "90 x Cups" (youtube.com/watch?v=Mjlsmets--0). 

"They are very talented, Pearl is very talented," Ethan said as he gasps some air, but actually after their performance, he wants to walk towards Pearl and give her a tight embrace and a passionate kiss, but he controls himself for he doesn't have any death wish yet. After the performance of the Ladies of the Court, everyone claps their hands and the husband and fiancées of each woman came towards them and gave them a tight hug, and what surprised them was when Nikolai walks towards Rosela and gave her a tight embrace and after that, he gave a kiss on her forehead. Pearl clapped her hands as his big brother Nikolai finally got the courage to approach and confess his feeling towards Princess Rosela. 

The great bosses didn't react especially Prince Timothy and Duchess Clarisse Marie for they already knew about Nikolai's feelings towards their daughter from the start, Xavier on the other hand immediately scanned the place and he was searching where Ethan Li is for he also knew that Louie's friend is interested in her sister. 

Nikolai and Rosela seemed to have their world when Nikolai hugs her, "Princess, I would like to have an audience with you, the Knights, Ladies of the Court and most especially to the twins. I am ready to confess everything to you for I can't see another man talking and stalk at you all the time," Nikolai told her as he was looking at her eyes and cups her face. Rosela nods her head but she has tears on her eyes, Luna and Amber gasp in shock, Isabele, Audrey, and Sapphire widen their eyes but at the corner of the room there was Ethan who is sulking but he clenches his fist in anger as he stared at Nikolai and Rosela.
