Chapter 310 - 310 Duchess Anastasia and Duchess Clarisse

It's better to fall in love with the one that makes you happy than to be miserable all your life loving someone who doesn't love you back. There's no happiness in that. ---- Unknown Author

After the heartfelt messages of Isabele and Alexei's parents, they both went back to their seats and Isabele was still sobbing unto Yuan's embrace. Then instead of a power couple to give another vow, it was the two Duchess who stand up and walk towards the center, Duchess and Anastasia and Duchess Clarisse were the ones who will give their final vow to the newlyweds. ​​

"Oh No! the two wives of the Great Bosses have joined forces." Pearl suddenly blurted out and Kim, Ethan, and Louie heard her. Pearl was currently sitting beside Kim that time for the reason, Artemis told her to be their ears towards Louie Chen. Kim takes a glance at Pearl as he was baffled about what she had said, Pearl on the other hand smiled, but the look on her eyes seemed to have a different meaning. Pearl felt that she needs to explain her words to the three gentlemen beside her especially Kim Tang. 

"The Queen of Tortures" Pearl said and let out a sigh, "Duchess Anastasia and Duchess Clarisse may look like an angel and fragile royalties, but looks can be deceiving for they are the known Queen of Tortures in our family...HADES. They are very ruthless and cruel once they begin their torture on the ones' who will try nor have hurt the ones they love and treasure. They will use various kinds of tortures towards a person, the more pain they can see towards the person they are torturing the happier they are and will be," Pearl informs the three. 

Ethan: "Are they sadist?"

Pearl: "No."

Louie: "Have you seen someone that they've tortured before?"

Pearl: "Oh Yes! It was a mistress of one of the imperial guards. The original wife was just silent and they can't take it when the mistress suddenly humiliates the original wife in public. So they've made the mistress to be humiliated also in public by torturing her in broad daylight and a public auction. That was before Lady Luna was adopted."

Ethan: "So among the wives, they are scarier than their husbands?"

Pearl: "Yes, and even us members of HADES...we are scared once those two women joined forces for no one could ever stop them. Maybe because they are mad at people who are cheating and betraying someone's trust, that's why when Duchess Anastasia learned Lady Luna's story, she promises to herself that she will help Lady Luna to stand up once again and after Lady Luna gave birth to the twins' she already asks Duke Lawrence for Lady Luna's hand in marriage for her son Viscount Francois. But we all know about Viscount's feelings towards our Moon, it's just that Viscount Francois is afraid to let it shout for the trauma on Lady Luna's soul has not yet removed on her system for the four years ago."

Louie who heard it silently took a glance at Pearl, he knew that she was intentionally saying those words so that he will know some bits of information about Luna's life five years ago. They just stop talking when the two duchesses clear their throats.

"Very few people ever truly live happy lives and it's amazing how difficult it is to find love and happiness in the world. A lot of people talk about wanting to be happy or wanting to be loved yet there are so few of these things to go around. And there are two extremely elusive things are happiness and love, finding them both has to be the most unlikely occurrence on earth but whenever you do find them, never let go." Yuan and Isabele...Harry and Amber, we, your Aunts are the happiest person for you two have found your match...your better half. The person sitting next to the two of you are the ones' you choose to spend your life with until you grow old and grey. Always remember that marriage life is some days a bed of thorns, a puddle of mud, a pothole on a highway and it might deny you happiness but life is going to respond to your attitude, and happiness is always a choice. On this day of your union as one, this day is one like no other, it's the day we choose happiness and love, and it's a day that will be like no other because we will make sure it never ends." Duchess Anastasia tells them with a very gentle tone but her eyes seem to scan both Yuan and Harry.

Francois could feel the coldness in his mother's voice, "Mom! don't scare the two guys. They might end up shivering on the wedding night. Isabele will not like it" Francois shouted teasingly that make everyone laugh. Duchess Anastasia chuckled for what her sons just have said is true, she is scaring both Yuan and Harry on the way she looks at them. 

The whole crowd went into silence again when Duchess Clarisse raises her hand. "YUan we all know that you really catch Isabele's attention, heart, mind, and soul. Be patient with her especially right now that she is pregnant and you are one of her cravings. Love conquers everything but it does not give you everything. Happiness is what attracts all the blessings that come with love so you should try everything to make your lover happy. So always make Isabele happy, but please refrain from doing some back-breaking exercise especially on this first trimester." Duchess Anastasia added and it made Isabele blush while Yuan wants to dig a hole and hide from it. 

"So love each other until you are old and grey. Amber and Harry, please hurry up and catch the ride of the bus, I don't want that the Phantom twins will get pregnant ahead of you Amber. You two will be locked up not only at Lovers Island but also at Aphrodite's Castle if Amber will not give good news next year" Duchess Anastasia threatened the two new couples. 

Dawn: "We will help them Grandmama"

Winter: More Bunnies next year!"

Knights: "Bunnies!"

"The bunnies will help Harry" Duke Lawrence's voice suddenly heard but his face was teasingly smiling at Harry and Amber. 

Winter: "We got permission now"

"Uncle Pretty Eyes" Dawn called Harry, (she gave a nickname pretty eyes to Harry), "Don't worry we will be lenient to the two of you," says Dawn then giggled.

Harry has begun to sweat, "Amber, My Wifey, I think I am now pressured. They are now demanding new babies" Harry whispered to Amber who's face is now as red as a ripe tomato. "I can feel the pressure also, but from what I have heard My Hubby, my brother Alexei will be the Great Bosses target after our wedding night. He will be under great pressure than us" Amber whispered back to Harry. 

After Duchess Anastasia has given her vow, Duchess Clarisse sweetly smiles at the newlyweds. "Marriage is not just about love. It is more than that. It is about commitment, giving, taking, communicating, and understanding. The fact that you want to spend your entire life with someone and be a part of their everyday life means that you are ready to share everything, compromise somewhere, and agree to trust your partner. Always remembers that true love stands by each other's side on good days and stands closer on bad days. You two must learn to accept each other's flaws and living with them, forgiving one another, and sharing and growing the love, is what make marriage so special. Marriage stands the test of times when both you and your spouse work towards making things better. And we are tested the most when we face adversities. If you can sail through the adversities as one, as a team, then you have won half the battle. That's why there is an old saying that never marries the one you can live with, marry the one you cannot live without. I know that Yuan and Isabele...Amber and Harry...even if you didn't have a long engagement... you can't live without your life with them to your life. Having a 'someone special' in your life is a blessing, a surprise gift from God. What's best is that if this person stayed with you forever, you tend to forget your past, agony, pain, and just be happy! To you, and even to Luna and Francois, Dimitri and Scarlet, Jamil and Audrey, and lastly Ryder and Sapphire. all of you are now already married, bounded by a seal, we the great bosses knew that to love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to be loved by the person you love is everything. that's why finding love is being overly difficult in today's world. But once you have found it, there is nothing better. It is indeed true that everyone wishes to be loved as it makes them feel special and cared for. So treasure it and always grasp and not let go of what's on your hand right now." Duchess Clarisse enlightens them and inspires them with her words. 

The words gave Louie a stabbing pain and even Edward felt it. "Imagine life without the one you love is not only difficult but also painful. It may sound selfish but it shows how much you would want to be with him throughout your life." Allen said to Edward who is sitting beside him. "A lot of things make a marriage, one of them being friendship. Friendship is a magical relationship that makes everything perfect. If a husband and wife are good friends, it takes away any shred of insecurity and results in a positive, healthy, and honest relationship." Elder Lucas didn't forget to says his piece of words towards Allen and Edward.

"I already accept defeat from the moment Lily married James, maybe I am just a fool and a coward for not fighting for what is right for me. But still, I am happy because she still accepts me as her friend. Falling in love is one of the most beautiful feelings ever and knowing that you're going to spend your entire life with that person, is a feeling you cannot define. You want to embark on a beautiful journey as soon as you can, without wasting a second... My love for Lily right now was a love of friendship. I know Duke Lawrence fits for her as a husband for keeps." says Edward. Elder Lucas pats his shoulder while Allen and Marcus just looks at him.
