Chapter 386 - 381 Deep Thoughts

As time passes, we gather our strength and courage to move on, but that hurt stays with us. Many times those painful memories keep coming back and every time they return, they break us a bit. This becomes a never-ending cycle. One moment changes every moment of our life. ----Dr. Bhawna Gautam

Louie felt the tiredness in his whole body as soon as he enters his bedroom. It is already clean and there are no more traces of Sofia being there for five years. Everything that Sofia owned was already sold at a cheaper price and donated to some orphanages and charities. The clothes, jewelry, designer shoes and bags, and even the hats, are all gone. He ordered all the servants to get rid of them after the Chen Annual Party, he doesn't like to see it even for a glance, even the wedding pictures and other pictures of him and Sofia are all burned. Louie smiled as soon as he saw the portrait/painting of him and Luna at the center of the wall facing the bed. He can't remember when this painting was done, but it seems that it was painted during his stay at City Wise. 

Louie has already noticed the family portrait of him and Luna with the kids in the living room, his grandparents are really proud for they manage to hang it at the very center wall. The other portraits were also hung in the study room that becomes his office sometimes. Louie smiled as he stared at their portrait, he remembered his "what if" questions once again.

Sofia's Apartment

Sofia has been already asleep on the couch, her face was like a zombie, her beautiful and elegant face is not noticeable anymore. Suzy was in deep thoughts on how she can manage her daughter's behavior when she wakes up. Suzy increases the dosage of Sofia's sleeping pills so that she could rest for a while or even an hour. 

Sofia's downfall is way too much for her, her career, their family, and most especially her relationship with Louie. They didn't expect that Luna will still be alive and her back is way too powerful. Even if Suzy's friends don't want to help her anymore, Especially Rica and Andrew, who is both her friend, they will not help her since Sofia ruined the reputation of their daughter's. Theo already ordered Rica to cut her ties with her, and Mia, Louie's mother. . . . She didn't know what happened to her. But even here, even though they are in-laws of their son and daughter, she also cut her ties with her. 

Suzy is staring at her daughter, she doesn't want to lose her and James. She loves James so much, and she knew that James is madly in love with Lily, she is the third wheel, and she did everything just to ruin them so that she can be James' wife. Now she regrets it, Suzy remembers the quote from an unknown person, says "The hardest part of losing someone is not the footsteps of goodbye. It's the aftermath— it's learning how to live without them." She also can't live without James, she devoted her whole life to him, just like Sofia to Louie. Those men are their world, if they can't have them, then no one will. In her case, it may be impossible for her and James to stay married, especially now that Lily is alive. But in Sofia's case, Luna and Louie have kids, Sofia is already barren because of her frequent abortions. Luna has two kids with Louie, and both kids' look like Louie especially the little boy.

"I just hope that the news about Luna and Louie having children is not yet known by the Chen Elders. Because it will be very difficult for my daughter to have Louie in her life. Sofia needs to do something about how to get pregnant, but how? " Suzy said to herself. Her deep thoughts about the recent events, and about what the future will come to give her a headache and a migraine. 

Suzy was never sure about anything in her life before she met James. She never had clear goals and ambitions when she was growing up, it seems she is a happy-go-lucky woman. When people ask her 'what or where you want to be in the future," she just shrugs and tells them "Wherever my river goes.", unsure of what to answer. Because she will let the future decides for her, But, when she met James Su, James the man of her dreams. She was already sure of her future, for James is her future, being his wife and with old with him.  Suzy is so sure that no matter how her future would turn out to be, she'd be there beside James. In a world where change is the only thing constant, she wants James to be her constant.

Suzy sighs very deeply, as her deep thoughts traveled to what she will do to help her daughter. She can't call someone from the underground organization, because Sofia and she doesn't have any money anymore. She just got some food and their daily necessities, because someone is delivering it in their front door. And, she is afraid that she may offend Harry Si, Harry is Luna's friend now and everyone at City A knew that Harry is the founder of the most powerful underground organization in their city. 

Suzy was brought back to her senses when she heard the doorbell ring, she already knew that their daily ration for the following week has just been delivered. She actually didn't know who are the people helping or kidnaps them. If these people are Luna's minions or someone's people, she doesn't care after all. All she wants to do was to cure Sofia of her disease, and got revenge on Luna once again for ruining her daughter's marriage. She also wants to kill both Lily and Luna. She knew that James will do anything and everything just to be with Lily once again and Louie wants to be with Luna and his kids. 

Suzy stands up and immediately went to the door, but when she opens it, she was shocked and screamed. Right in front of the doorstep is a flower arrangement for funeral rites bearing her and Sofia's name. She also saw two urns with their names on them, Suzy suddenly sat down on the floor, she felt that her legs turned into Jell-O. "Who did this?! Who's playing pranks on us?! Show yourselves. You are a coward and this prank is not funny!" Suzy shouted
