"Sometimes the thing you most want doesn't happen. And sometimes the thing you never expect to happen does."

Louie sighs, "Luna, why should I get mad, I won't get angry for what they did to her. I am very proud of them actually because they can really protect you silently. And that is very wicked. Luna, I know I am very late for you to become your husband and to be a father to the kids. And as a father, I am going to spoil my kids. If they felt that you are being bullied, especially when I am not around nor Francois is not around, they can do whatever they want to the person who bullied you. And if they get caught, I will take the responsibility for that. Luna, please give me this chance to our kids. Give me the chance to become a father to them, to spoil them, and to be with them. I am not competing with Francois. The kids are very intelligent to know who am I to them and who Francois is with them," says Louie.  ​​

Luna sigh and shook her head, she can't believe that Louie will not scold the kids' but rather he supported them 100%. " Louie before I forgot, I just want to remind you that before you make any decision before you take any action, consider the consequence, it will surely come back visiting. Nothing stays secret forever, it may be for a while, but it will always end in the open. Be true to yourself, whatever the outcome of our plans towards Sofia and her mother, we must be cautious. I mean, especially you, you will be with her twenty-four-seven the least. Kim and Ethan may also be joining you, I know Sofia, and she will do everything and anything just to be with you at all times. I just want to tell you also to take care of yourself."

Louie smile and nods his head, "She still cares for me even a bit" his mind told him. "Are the three of you ready? Let's go now, and have your light snack before going to the airport. It will be a long flight. Just tell your preferred food at the airport lounge so that they can prepare your preferred meals while we are onboard the plane" Luna said to the three of them. 

The three men nod their heads for confirmation. Luna already left and the three of them immediately pack the gifts they received from the HADES but they take good care of the gifts that the twins' had given to them. "Bro' are you still pursuing Pearl?" Ethan suddenly asks Kim. 

Kim was quite astounded by what Ethan asks him, "Yes, Ethan, you know what, when someone loves you so purely, not all the time their hearts will always race with affection, there will be a point where it will race with fear. Fear of being the reason to ruin the smile someday, fear of being the reason to drag them, or even you into the greatest fall in your life, fear of giving them the nightmares and trauma that can't be cured immediately and even could be left a deep scar, and to simply sum up, the fear to end up as one of your regrets and disappointments. I will pursue Pearl because I love her very much. I will take the greatest risk in my life, I accepted everything about her, her flaws, her fears, her dark past, and her as a whole," Kim replied.

Ethan smiled, he already knew this time that his friend was shot by the arrow of Cupid. "Things won't always turn out the way you planned them and the way you expected them to be. Life will sometimes take you in the opposite directions, and it will always be mysterious. With twists and turns, with detours and intersections, and sometimes it is very bumpy. But it doesn't mean that you're on the wrong road, you just have to make it right. I've been there and done that, that's why I've learned my lesson and now I am fixing it" Louie interjected.

"Actually, I don't have anything against Pearl bro' it's just that I want to remind you that Pearl is way too different from the women that you used to date, and had some fun too. Pearl had a very strong personality, and come to think of it Kim, she had the looks, she had a super hourglass body, and most of all she had the five gorgeous men around her who are her brothers/friends. So I am thinking very deeply, what will happen to you once you hurt her? Do Louie and I need to be ready for your funeral? " Ethan asks Kim in a teasingly manner. Louie already got Ethan's message to his words while Kim gave a confused look to them. 

"I won't hurt her bro', and Pearl already knew my past, even before I told her, I think they already investigated my whole life even before I speak" Kim informs them. "I am not afraid of her brothers/friends bro, but, Louie. . . . I am much more afraid of what the twins' will do to me if I let a single tear flow on her eyes. The twins already gave me a heart-to-heart talk after the picnic. Their warning is much scarier than the threats of the men that are very close to Pearl. It gives me goosebumps every time I remember it and imagines it" Kim explained furthermore. 

Louie raises his right brow upon hearing it. "I am very sorry bro' but this time I will support my kids. I will even help them torturing you when they will ask me. They are much more important to my life now" says Louie and let out a burst of loud laughter. 

"Just don't hurt Pearl Kim, don't hurt the one who cares about you in this lifetime. She had been through ups and down, that's what I have had heard from the other HADES when they talk about Pearl when you two are dancing. She is called the ANGEL of Death, for she took revenge on those people who had hurt her in the past. And you, you become a playboy because you also had experienced a painful relationship. Always remembers that you're not the only person in the world who's ever been hurt. But I certainly know that you love Pearl so much, Cupid throws his arrow right and straight on bull's eye of your heart. You are different when you are with Pearl" Ethan told him and Louie nod his head for confirmation.

"Maybe because when you love someone so purely, you'd always wish that someday they could see for themselves the way you see them, the way you love and care for them, and most especially the way you will protect them from any harm and heartaches. So they can realize that there's no reason to be afraid because we don't want any protection from the possible heartaches in the first place, but rather we will protect them from any harm and we will not allow any single tear from their face. We only want for them to feel the love and care that we will shower them, we will simply tell them how much we love them. And this is how we really love, we give them a gun and allow them to decide if they want or when they want to pull the trigger on us," says Kim as he c.a.r.e.s.ses the infinity bracelet that Pearl gave to him after their dance. It was the first gift from her and he will surely treasure it with his life.
