15 Chapter 15 Viscount Francois meets the Moon that shines on his horizon: (Viscounts Memory Lane)
The Francois became serious….. Luna he called her as for Luna she looks up to him…. She stares to his eyes, Luna, listen….. they need to pay for everything they have done to you… the physical abuse you have received from them is nothing compared to the emotional torment they place to your heart and mind. It leaves a scar deeply in there as Francois points to her chest as he was pointing to her heart. The suffering you went through is a pain in the a**, it really is, but no matter how painful it may seem at that time, what you have to keep in mind is that it is a temporary condition; it will pass, it will get better and you'll get over it….. But in due time. The periods of how it be may vary, but the end point is the same because time really does heal all wounds – even that big, deep, gaping slashes on your heart. But still don't forget to smile. Maybe the moon lost her memory Francois…. And I hope that memories are the ugly ones….. Autumn sweetly told him as they walk back to their Villa.
Francois dotted her too much…. He just want her to be his wife…. He fell in love with her the first time they've met; maybe because she is so strong to face everything that had happened to her. Autumn, Francois called her; I will be in my room first. I have to send some important emails to Duke Lawrence. We need to be prepared for the upcoming charity gala and for the revelation. We need to be ready for the consequences that may occur that time. But I promise you that as soon as I finish it we will be having an early dinner. Okay Francois, and I will be making your favorite Pesto pasta and your favorite dessert Tiramisu…. And Scarlet's favorite Caesar Salad, and Autumn just clapped her hands with a cheerful smile. Francois just shake his head and chuckled as he knows that they have to consume everything she will be cooking or else she will feel devastated…..or worst….
Viscount entered his room at Villa 8, his room has the best interior designed rooms at this Villa. Autumn chooses the color of the room and the furniture as well. She knows him so well. She knows that he likes the shade of black and white; but if Autumn puts some other colors it is okay….. He cared for her so much, up to the point that if others saw them together they will think that they're a real loving couples. Viscounts recalled the first time they've met; as he smiled for the thought of it because that's the time Scarlet get tamed by the moon.
Francois is the King of the Business Territory in the City of Wise, he was a man that feared by all business sector in that City. His heart is thick as an iceberg and stone, eyes just like made of fire if he became ruthless to you, merciless and cruel but alluringly gorgeous, straight pointed nose, almond shape bluish eyes, auburn brown hair, 8 packs abs, broad shoulders and most of all he stands 6'5" tall.
He has a Greek God like features; there was not a single person in this world that dared to offend him. He knows aikido, diving, horseback riding and drag racing. While his twin sister Lady Scarlet is a bubbly and talented girl; she is a great fashion model; loves to drag race just like his twin brother Francois and she is also great in judo, target shooting and Tai Chi. Both of the twins knows 5 foreign languages.
When he met Luna, he was mending a broken heart. He was about to get married to Baroness Lauren of Wise but he get dumped by the girl he loved since he was five. They are betrothed since birth but he falls for her at the age five but the baroness has no feelings for him. She didn't treat him as a lover but as a friend only…. But still the lady waited for her upcoming of age when she dumped Viscount Francois. Baroness Lauren's title and inheritance was removed from her when she married a commoner; her family didn't even recognize her marriage to the guy and they even sued both of them…. Lauren stood in front of the royal court and she told them that the so called titles is not important to her. The money and other privileges of royalties are just superficial kind of thing for her…. What important thing that happened to her is love…. Her love for the guy who saw her as a simple person and not as a royalty; she simply told to the court that…she just listen to her heart. She doesn't want to be tied to a loveless marriage with the Viscount; yes, the Viscount may love her with all his heart but what about her….. She is in love with someone else and she is pregnant with their first born. That is time that Viscount Francois gave up on her, he wants to fight his love for her but if it concerns a life of a child, he can't argue anymore. He gave up… the alarming amount of tear – shedding tears that he had never known was shed through his eyes. The type of crying every night will quite literally run dry. After what happened to him, he became colder towards others, especially to women who are not members of his family. He became more ruthless and cruel to all women who wants to get close to him….
Lady Scarlet can't stand to see what is happening to her twin brother, she knows that her brother needs help... she contacted Ryder and Dimitri for help. As soon as the two brother heard the awful love story of Francois to Scarlet the two brothers lends a helping hand to him….. They've keep him busy, the four of them engage themselves to many activities such as business collaborations, business trips and putting up different kinds of business. He needs to stand up and pick up the broken pieces of his heart for his family….because his family and his friends help him so much. Then he thought…. Maybe..... Maybe somewhere out there he will find love again.
One time the twins visited the Vallini Mansion, Lady Scarlet missed Dimitri so much and she keeps on pestering him for almost 2 months, she likes their childhood friend so much and since she was pampered by Francois so much he agreed to have a vacation to the Vallini Mansion. That is the time they've met Luna. When they saw Luna, he felt something on his heart…. Something that is familiar when he saw Baroness Lauren before. But when saw Luna…. And saw that she is pregnant his world crushed down. He thought that she is Dimitri's woman. That Dimitri brought this woman to their mansion because she is already pregnant. He knows that his sister is devastated already…. He saw how dotingly the brothers to her, and he was not happy to see his twin sister to be left alone.
But when the brothers introduced Luna to them and relate her story, he can't explain the happiness he felt to his heart… he know it was wrong but he can't really explain the joy he have in his heart. He wants to get close to this woman he thought, I will be her knight from now on….. Dimitri saw his smile is unique towards Luna after they've relate her story. For Francois it is different; Luna is different to all the girls he met and even to the girl he have loved before. And he will fight for this girl from now on.
Francois befriended her. He dotted Luna so much…. Scarlet and her became close especially when Luna lets Scarlet to touch her belly when the babies inside moves…. Luna loves to hear Scarlet's laugh and giggles. When Scarlet is around Luna always have a bright smile on her face. That smile what makes the day of Francois. Luna….. Luna…. You can't imagine how much I love you…. Francois thought while watching both her sister and Luna eats fruits in the garden.
When Francois was browsing the YouTube on his laptop to look for a song he wants to dedicate to Luna… the suddenly he saw a song entitled "Don't Know What To Do, Don't Know What To Say, by Ric Segreto" of the Philippines. He listened to it and he knows that this is his song for her… for Luna…. He studied the lyrics of the song, he even studied what kind of musical instruments to be used when he will sing it to her.
One time while Francois playing the piano at the grand hall of the Vallini Mansion; he didn't notice that Luna is already listen to him while he is playing the piano and sings as for his baritone voice filled the entire hall, some of the servants stop for a while to what they are doing and listened to him.
Don't Know What to Say (Don't Know What to Do)By: Ric Segreto
I have loved you only in my mind
But I know that there will come a time
You'll feel this feelin' I have inside
You're a hopeless romantic is what they say
Fallin' in and out of love just like a play
Memorizin' each line
I still don't know what to say
What to say
Don't know what to do
Whenever you are near
Don't know what to say
My heart is floating in tears
When you pass by I could fly
Every minute, every second of the day
I dream of you in the most special ways
You're beside me all the time
All the time
I have loved you and I always will
Call it crazy but I know someday you'll feel
This feelin' I have for you inside
I'm a hopeless romantic I know I am
Memorized all the lines and here I am
Struggling for words
I still don't know what to say
What to say
Don't know what to do
Whenever you are near
Don't know what to say
My heart is floating in tears
When you pass by I could fly
Every minute, every second of the day
I dream of you in the most special ways
You're beside me all the time
Luna doesn't know that the song is the unspoken words of the Viscount to her; but still she was happy to see him sings. All she knew is that every time that they were alone Francois will play the music but he hides the lyrics, it is only now that she heard the lyrics of the song. It is like that he is confessing his love to someone he loves dearly…..
For Francois thought while he plays the song was filled with Luna's images…. The way she laugh, smiles, pout and even when she is mad to them because they always tease her... then he remembered Baroness Lauren….. Baroness Lauren is his star before…. She is the amazing star in his life before, but after what happened to them, those stars begun to shrunk and blown out in his eyes….. but now he met Luna…. Luna is the other name for moon as he remembered... He thought with a smile that the moon starts to shine on his horizon and it keeps on shining.
As Francois finished playing, Luna clapped her hand that shock him but deep inside his heart he felt jitters for he didn't realize that Luna is listening to the lyrics…. He felt suddenly felt shy as his face became red as a tomato… Luna saw his reaction and giggled. I didn't know that the Viscount is so cute while blushing as she cupped his face. Francois body became stiff as stone for he knows that it's Luna's time to tease him….. He suddenly embrace Luna and she embrace him back….. Your song is very lovely Francois, it's like that you are confessing your feelings to someone you love dearly….. You must not be afraid to show it to her…. To let her feel what you have for that person. Luna told him.
Francois, just continue what you are doing…. Especially what you are doing to me, as long as it makes you happy I'll be happy….. Luna whispered to him as she gives peck to his cheeks. That day for Francois is the happiest day of his life. He may not confess hi true feelings for Luna….. ------ end of flash back.
