Chapter 179 - Bonus Let the Love Begin
Don't look for someone who will solve all your problems. Look for someone who won't let you face them alone. ---- Unknown Author
Louie: "Yes…But I am willing to give, show and prove to her that those things are my gifts to her not only just this Christmas but throughout the year. Even as a friend or a business associate."
Kim: "I am planning to pursue that mysterious woman Louie. I will ask Luna's permission and also the permission of that Big Brother Eros she has called and carried her bridal style."
Louie looks at his friend when they suddenly heard a knock on the door. "Maybe that's Ethan," Kim told Louie as he stood up and went to the door to open it. When Kim came back he was with Ethan with a smile on his face. "So the famous playboy of the Li family seemed daydreaming," said Louie as he observes Ethan who is still in his world of fantasy.
Kim snaps his fingers in front of Ethan, "Earth calling Ethan Li! Ethan Li! Ethan!!!" Kim shouted. Ethan seemed to awaken from his shouting and he came back to his senses. "What!" Ethan replied.
Louie and Kim look at each other, "What's with you playboy?" Kim teases him. Ethan shook his head, "Louie, does falling in love means that you start to imagine something and you want that person will be involved in those things? Or you already see yourself growing old with that person." Ethan asks Louie as he slumped his body at the couch. Louie stared at his friends, "I hope you two will found happiness and contentment to your endeavors with the woman in your heart." Louie said to himself.
Louie: "Enlighten us please."
Ethan: "I think when cupid shot his arrow on me, he hits the bullseye. I think I want to spend my life with Rosela di Lucchesi."
"Me too…. Ahem! Louie, is it okay if the women we fell in love with is Luna's friends or family?" Kim said and ask Louie about what's on his mind.
Louie chuckled, "It is okay with me that you two set your hearts to Luna's friends and a family member. We can't teach our hearts to whom we will fell in love with or to who we will care, don't try to be like me. I let other people manipulate me to whom I would love and care for, as you can see…the result is I lost the woman who loves and cared me unconditionally; I also lost my children that I would like to pamper to the bones."
Ethan and Kim stared at him, Luna's name has never been a taboo to the three of them only if Sofia, her parents and Louie's parents are around that is the only time that Luna's name became a taboo. "Have you told Luna a while ago that you have been searching for her for the past 5 years because you don't believe and you can't accept that she died just like what the Wu triplets have told you?" Ethan asks him. Louie shook his head, "Tonight is not the right time for that, you see Ethan…Love is everywhere tonight. Some found the person that they want to spend their life with, to grow old with that person. Some met their match like what happened to you and Kim, and some want to begin and asks for second chances" Louie replied.
Kim: "Tonights Charity Gala seemed to have a hidden agenda for some guests. I can say that Luna intended to let the love begin to the people who are very important to her, some may see it as a blind date and some may think it was a pairing up but still, Luna didn't intervene with the decisions of the person involved."
Ethan and Louie nod their head, "Excuse me guys, I need to go to my parents' room for I need to prepare some gifts to my kids and Luna" Louie informed his two friends and stormed out their room.

Penthouse 1
Eros is massaging Pearl's feet when Ares came together with Artemis, Hermes, and Soteria. "How's your date, Ares?" Pearl asks the tall, dark, and handsome man who is staring at her. "Why didn't you let us dance with you, Angel Pearl? You owe the 5 of us with a dance!" Ares complained and didn't bother to answer Pearl's question.
Pearl laughs to what Ares has just informed her and it was the first time she saw Ares in a boyish but elegant look. "You are so cute in your suit Ares" Pearl told him. Ares smiled and the other 4 men are just observing them.
"How're your dates?" Artemis asks the two. "Mine is okay, but she is not my type. She is very talkative, she wants to know everything about me" Ares informed them as he pouts his lips when he ended his statements. Hermes is preparing some drinks for them, he prepared 5 bottles of cold beer and a mango juice for Pearl. "No Beer for you Pearl, you are allergic to malt. Don't argue" Hermes said when he saw Pearl furrow her brows when she received the glass of mango juice.
Soteria: "You are very gorgeous and beautiful Pearl"
Artemis: "And very s.e.xy"
Eros: "We need to put a barricade on her from now on."
Ares: "Yeah! I almost killed the men at Phantom for gawking and eye stripping Pearl during the event."
Hermes: "I almost killed Pearl's date. He can't hold his hands, he always touches Pearl's back."
Eros: "Angel Pearl's date must be tested by us first before he can date her again."
Artemis: "That's a good idea, he must know how to cook and bake, he must do it in front of me and the twins' and the end, the Hades men and women will be the judge."
Eros: "He must pass to my mixed martial arts."
Hermes: "Mine is knives and boxing."
Pearl: "Aren't mixed martial arts and boxing the same?"
Eros: "SILENCE!!"
Pearl shut her mouth but she was very amused to hear the conversation of the right-hand guys of the Knights. She treated all of them as brothers especially Eros and Hermes who are two years older than her.
Ares: "I think I have to play some poisons on him, I'll ask the help of the twins."
Soteria: " The four of you are so cruel! We must not do those things on that poor guy except for the cooking and baking part. We must invite him for a drink, you know...the tradition that we have...."
Ares and Eros: "The last man standing?!"
Artemis: "That's a good idea."
Hermes: "I'll cook the side dishes when that time comes."
Pearl: "Guy! Not that one! That tradition of Hades is cruel than the things you have in mind a while ago."
The 5 right-hand guys look at her in unison and Pearl shivers upon seeing their deathly glares. "Guys, that man seemed not used to that kind of thing. He didn't even drink 3 glasses of champagne tonight" Pearl explained to them.
The right-hand guys look at her in unison, Pearl shut her mouth immediately when she saw that their topic will not end that night. "Are you worried about him Angel Pearl?" Ares asks her teasingly. Soteria's gaze on her with a much more teasing and his smile is kinda wicked.
Eros: "We will have a little medium strength of our tradition my dear Angel of Darkness."
Hermes came to Pearl's side and taps her shoulder, "Don't worry Angel Pearl we will not do anything that can hurt himself. We will just want to see if he is serious enough for you, remember you are our princess, you are our dear little sister from another w.o.m.b."
Eros: "Angel Pearl…my dear little Angel of Darkness sister from another w.o.m.b… we all knew that your date is very dashing. He is very handsome and with toned muscles, beautiful smile, and filthy rich, but we must know if he will respect you and if he is worthy to you. Nothing is more attractive than a guy who respects you, see your worth; cares for you especially if you are sick; makes you laugh especially on your bad day; can cook for you even you are having some tantrums of didn't want to eat at all; can hold a conversation even though your stories are very gruesome and morbid, and most especially know how to stay with you and fight for you and honest enough with you till the end. We don't want you to get hurt."
This was the scene that the Knights, Ladies of the Court, Jamil and Audrey, Dimitri, Ryder, and Luna have witnessed, the bantering of the right-hand guys and the angel of darkness. They treat each other like siblings by blood even though it is only Hermes and Ares are the real siblings.
"I think we should impose that rule if Pearl's date tried to pursue her, except for the guys; we also have a separate last man standing with her date and Rosela's date. What do you think guys?" Dimitri said in a very serious tone.
