"Mama..are you were gonna be fine?" Alex asked while still hugging Luna. Today is the day where she will go to Florida as Raymond's girlfriend. She tells Alex that she will be going to stay at his Papa's family house for a bit longer before she could bring him to stay forever at their home later.
Luna caresses Alex's head while looking at the man who looks at her. "Mama will be fine. I'll be at her side all the time, okay?" Raymond tried to persuade his son.
Squinting his eyes, he murmurs, "But, you slow wittily." and Luna laughs to hear it. She then pulls Alex to face her.
"I'll be just fine. You should listen to uncle Jay when Mama and Papa are not around, okay? It won't take long. I promise you." She kisses his cheek and passes him to Raymond to say goodbye.
She then turns to the side and picks up Lily. She looks a bit sullen since yesterday. "You not gonna hate me, aren't you?" Luna asked.
Lily shakes her head hard. "No! I would not. I would never." She hugs Luna's neck and slowly said. "But, mama…please be careful when you go there."
Chuckles, Luna rub her back, saying, "It's not like I'm going to war baby...I just went to know my 'future' in-law family." She cracks a smile with her lies. Well, it was evident that she went for war.
Lily nodded her head. Just play along with her mother's word. "Call me often." She kisses on Luna's cheek, and Luna does the same as her.
"I will. You too..please listen to daddy and don't cause trouble, okay? I love you both."
After putting all her bags inside the car, Rose and Dania wait at the side of the vehicle. They both dressed up as a personal maid to Luna while their actual job is to guard her up and help her to gather all the evidence she needs to bring it out to law.
With this gathering, it's a perfect set up to know who's the one who is plotting to kill her five years ago. Besides, there's a whole family again. Even though Victoria is no longer around, she will make sure to get their justice from now on.
"Take care, Luna," Brian said and embraced her for a moment. Luna nod and she glanced at the man beside her.
He already flares up a bit, seeing Brian hug her casually like that. Well, they already accustomed to being like that. But, she will make sure to be more careful next time. Even though Raymond's jealousy face is somehow cute, she doesn't want to stir up trouble between these two men.
Before getting inside the car, Luna waves her hands toward her child, and they look a bit sad to send her away.
After they leave the mansion, Luna inhales deeply while holding Raymond's hand.
"Let's do this." Raymond smiles and caresses her hair softly.
"Yes, darling."
…
Miami, Florida.
"OH. MY. GOD." Luna's mouth gape when she saw the infamous Miami beach. She squeezes Raymond's hand and all excited.
"You like it?" He asks and looks in the same direction as her.
Nodded, Luna said, "I never went to Miami."
"Hmm. How about if we buy a new house here? You and Alex can-"
Luna immediately holds Raymond's from talking about Alex. "Please…refrain from saying Alex's name." Luna reminds him, and he kisses her on her finger.
"I'm sorry. But think about it." Raymond hugs her waist and makes her look at the beach again.
"I want us to have a new start as soon as we finish this." He whispers above her neck before he softly landed a kiss on her nape.
"Raymond.." Luna almost moans, and suddenly Dania cleared her throat a bit.
"Please…remember there's another soul here." She straightforwardly said, and Rose chuckles a bit at the side of the driver's seat.
Both Luna and Raymond blushed a bit before Hero suddenly whine and put his head on Raymond's lap.
He follows them when they go to Brian's mansion before. But he had to put on a collar and stay outside of the house. Brian's house had two rottweiler dogs, which can lead them to fight.
Patting on Hero's head, Raymond's focus changed toward the dog. He surely is a dog person, and it kind of reminds Luna to the night Raymond, who loves Danny.
Danny always plays with him when he had time. Even when he's busy, Raymond will always throw him a ball for him to catch. Well, she hopes that Hero will not end like Danny.
A few minutes from the North Beach, they finally arrive at the Bay Harbour island area where there's a huge mansion surrounded by tropical trees around the house.
There's also a helicopter at the helipad above the building house. The luxurious yacht at the side of the mansion and private dock. Oh my god. This is how billionaire spends their money!
"Are you ready?" Raymond asked while fixing his collar a bit.
"I am ready," Luna said, and Raymond took her hand before he walks out of the car.
…
A few minutes earlier,
"Are you sure it's okay for me to tag along?" Sarah asked. She's a bit anxious that other families will resent her for what happened at the wedding ceremony last time.
But after she knew that Raymond would be here today, she decides to come along on Ramona's invitation.
"It'd be fine. My mom already forgive you, right?" Ramona said while rolled her eyes. She links her arm with her new boyfriend soon to be her fiance. Well, a bit restless with Sarah beside her and who knows that she probably wants to snatch her man later?
"Yeah...I love your brother, and that just a false accusation that someone put on me." She said for the hundredth time, and Ramona already tired to hear it.
"Yeah, whatever." She said, and walk to the house. Inside the family hall, all family members who arrive early look at the three of them with a frown on their face.
"Good evening, seems like everyone is here." Ramona starts and searches for her mother among the crowd.
"Oh my darling~" Barbara turn her body around when she heard her daughter voice and walk to them.
Hugging them both before she looks at the man who is standing sturdy beside Ramona's. "Oh my, such a handsome young man. Who is this?" She then averts her eyes to Ramona.
Well, she wants to boast up to other family members that Ramona got a handsome hunk as her boyfriend. He looks fine.
"Mother, and everyone," She turns to the side and looks at them before she continues again, "this is my boyfriend, Nick." She smiles.
All of them greet him before they turn to look at the uninvited girl beside Ramona.
"Why is she here?" Claudia asked. She was so thrilled to see how the wedding ruined because of that boastful soon-daughter-in-law make trouble with Barbara's right man, Max.
She put Max as a guard for Raymond, but then it turns out, Max and Sarah often having sex behind Raymond. It such a delightful feeling to see how Barbara's face at that time.
"Um..she's here as my.." Ramona said and looked at everyone who is showing an unpleasant face. "Friend."
"Do a friend got an invitation to our tradition of family gathering now?" Liam step inside the hall with his wife, Sabrina, and his son, Micheal.
Gulped, Ramona look at Barbara. She was hoping that her mother would say something. Since Liam is the head of the family, they had to obey his decision. And if he said, Sarah cannot join them; then she had to follow it too.
"Liam, she's also one of our family," Barbara said.
"Oh, is she?" A voice that just entered the house startled almost all of the family.
Including Sarah, she immediately turns around and ready with her fake tears.
But the moment Raymond entered the hall, all of them froze. Their eyes fixed on the girl beside him. Clinging and smiling like a fox.
"Ray…Raymond, who is she?" Sarah asked.
"She? Oh!" Raymond turned to Luna and kissed her in front of everyone before he proudly says, "She's my new girlfriend. Luna Arista."
Like has been striking by the lightning, half of the hall shocked with the introduction from Raymond. Especially the 'villain' team.
