"The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it." ---- Rakifi; The Lion King 

I.T. Department Palace​​

Everyone inside the I.T. Department was flabbergasted upon hearing and seeing Winter's reaction against Louie. January shut his eyes for he got this feeling that he needs to explain so many things to their Lady Luna. Peach, GT, and Lancer were silent for they also knew that they will be on the hot seat later for they didn't report this urgent matter also to the Ladies of the Court. 

"Care to enlighten us January?" Scarlet asks the head of the I.T department. January and the rest of his team were just silent as they didn't know if they will tell to everyone about the plans of the Chen Elders. Ryder, Francois, and Dimitri already could feel the deathly glare of Scarlet towards the I.T. people. 

"What plans do my son is talking about? January, kindly reiterate it to us? Are the Chen Elders plans to snatch my kids from me? Are they going to take them away from me?! I knew that they are longing to have great-grandchildren with Louie, but it must be from Louie and Sofia. My kids must not get involved in this matter" Luna was having a panic attack as she said what's on her mind.

Francois immediately hugs his wife for he can see that she is on verge of an outburst. Dimitri and Ryder don't like that scene for they could see that anytime Luna will kill Louie. 

"Before we all come here together with Louie and his friends, some of our people already installed bugs on that place. The Chen Elders are already there together with their trusted lawyers, Atty. Rebecca Alberts and Atty. Shane David. The Elders are planning to have or file custody rights regarding the twins. They want the twins to bear the surname CHEN instead of whatever surname that they have right now." Dimitri explains to everyone. 

"There are some recorded footage and conversation regarding this situation, Francois, Dimitri, and I do not finish watching it for a while" Ryder added. Marco and Alexei sigh while Marco stared at Ryder. "The twins didn't want to tell the others about this Masters, we just send Duke Dimitri, Duke Ryder, and Viscount Francois some of the videos because they want to show it after the celebration of New Year's dinner," January explained. 

Scarlet: "The twins' are wicked."

Sapphire: "Does Louie knew about this plan?"

Audrey: "I don't think so, but still the way we see it a while ago, he also wants the twins to bear his surname."

"They can't do that, Louie already waived those rights the moment he signed the doc.u.ments. I will fight in legal battles with the Elders when the time comes by if they will still push it through" Samantha informs everyone. Samantha walks beside Luna and holds her right hand, "I will not allow that the Elder Chen's will process the papers for the children bear their last name. We also need to speed up the process of transferring their last name from Vallini to Vendari. Francois has to adopt the kids before we go back to City A" Samantha tells Luna as she grips her best friends' right hand. 

Xavier: "I will call some lawyers from the registry bureau so that we can process everything before the celebration."

Alexei: "And we will announce it at the celebration. It may break Louie Chen's heart but we have to make things clear to him."

Luna started to cry, she was speechless for her friends' and family's plans. Francois chuckled as he suddenly embraces Luna and kisses her forehead, "Everything will be alright My Queen. Louie's grandparents can't do anything even if they ask help from your grandparents" says Francois. 

"My King, I don't want my kids to be involved with the Chen's. I don't want them to be pressured by Louie's grandparents just what they did to us. They are the main reason why Louie despise me back then, Louie thought that I ask his grandparents to marry me; I planned to run away after my birthday that time but my grandparents and his grandparents seemed knew my plans that's why they pretend to be dying at the hospital," Luna informs everyone. 

Francois chuckled, he knew that his wife is now having doubts that he may be mad because of what she had confessed to everyone. "My Queen, you don't need to worry anymore. I am here beside you. You changed everything that I thought about love and what would make me happy and what makes me smile. Our conversations about deep feelings and the hysterical kind of laughter that makes my side hurt from laughing so hard. We talk about nothing for hours and laugh about the silliest things and that's one of the reasons why I fell deeply in love with you. You pointed to me that being the best version of myself is what matters the most in my life. And what I must look for a person that I truly loved. You've become my best friend that thinks my jokes are not just funny but hilarious and still corny. You've become my soul mate that walks beside me in our life, holding my hand every day and even I still didn't confess my feelings for you way back then but your brother Dimitri already knows it and my sister keeps it a secret from you and Dimitri. Then now we are lovers…. You are my lover… My wife that excites me with each kiss and every touch scintillates my soul. You're my daily reminder of how amazing life can truly be, and when I wake up and see your face smiling at me, it just makes me realize that you made me believe again…believe in magic and love. I love us for all the things we've been, what we are now and what we will always be. Most of all, because you'll always be mine. Forever and always" Francois informs Luna and declared his rights to everyone inside the I.T. Department. 

From what the I.T Department people heard about their Lady Luna's confession they all gritted their teeth and clench their fists, at that time they already murdering Louie and his grandparents on their minds. 

"Luna, don't you worry. We will not allow the Chen Elders to meet the twins nor visit them. We are here and you must not be scared, you are not all alone now, and remember that even if they ask for your grandparents' help I don't think so that your grandparents will help them" Sheik Jamil said to Luna. 

"Cara Mia, even if they show off and brag their ric.h.e.s.t and power, please do remember that you are more than that in this lifetime. They can't just barge into your and the twins' life, not now…not ever. They need to kill me first before they can do it" Scarlet declared as she fumes in anger. Scarlet was one of the very first people to get close to Luna five years ago, she witnessed all her fears and nightmares and how her brother and Dimitri console her if she had nightmares. 

Luna is still sobbing as she listens to what her friends say but she is very happy that they are always been there for her and her kids. "I think I need set things straight to Louie, I need to tell him that if ever his grandparents have plans about changing the surname of my kids…our kids Francois (she looks at Francois), he must remember that he already waived his rights five years ago," says Luna.

Francois smiled at his wife and kiss her on the lips passionately and Luna kisses him back with complete equilibrium, they earned some grunts from the people around them and blush on their faces from the I. T. people. "Hey! Get a room! And our sister is already pregnant with twins...Francois, please don't make it quadruplets" Ryder shouted as close his eyes and his hands are on Sapphires' eyes. 

"You are right Ryder, don't let our innocent eyes see your lovey-dovey ways, Francois. You see…the I.T. people here are all single and they are all v.i.r.g.i.ns in that kind of aspect" Alexei teasingly added. 

Luna and Francois stop kissing and they both smiled, Dimitri chuckled and Scarlet shook her head. "We need to plan for the countermeasures for whatever plans that the Chen Elders have in mind. We can't just easily kill them or hurt them, maybe all we can, for now, is that inform their plans to the great bosses especially to your grandparents Luna and to our mom. We also need to inform Edward Chen for they are still his parents" Dimitri told them.
