The next day Erza and Eileen were getting skiing lessons.
"This is so amazing."
"Yes it is."
The instructor smiled at them.
"Alright ladies, when it comes to skiing, you must keep you knees bent. That way you can keep your balance when you go."
Eileen watched as the instructor gave Erza a slight push but they both watched as Erza began sliding down the mountain then screaming was heard.
"MOM!"
Eileen went after her daughter and they both were skiing out of control.
At the bottom of the mountain
Rhonith was sitting down at a table that he and his brother sat up. Nyxiah was making soup and would and inhale the aroma before moaning in pleasure.
"Perfect."
He looked at Rhonith.
"Is something wrong?"
"I just can't stop thinking about that lady, Eileen."
His brother gave a nod then they both heard screaming and looked behind them to see Erza, Eileen and another rich guest fall into the snow. Rhonith and Nyxiah rushed to help the two ladies up then they looked at the rich guest that had been caught in their ski ride.
The guest had stood up and frowned at Erza.
"You're the one in trouble now."
Eileen had her daughter behind her.
"It was her first time. It was an accident."
Rhonith and Nyxiah just watched then the man smirked.
"Are you taking the blame for her? You girls aren't from here so allow me to share the punishment with you. In this place if a girl woman were to break the rules she is to be beaten either by her husband or by the one caught in her mess."
He took his glove off and approached them. Before he could lay a hand on them Rhonith had grabbed his hand and the man looked at him.
"She must be punished."
"You are not going to hit a lady in my sight."
"She's not your wife-"
"I don't care."
Nyxiah was glaring at the man.
"If you ever come near this lady or her daughter we want you to keep these words in mind."
The man took a step back.
"And what would that be?"
"We have no problem going back to prison."
That scared the man so bad that he ran away. Eileen and Erza looked at Nyxiah and Rhonith.
"Thank you."
Rhonith nodded then Nyxiah went to the pot of soup.
Rhonith seemed to still be upset then spoke.
"I really hate guys like him who call themselves men. Hitting a woman doesn't make you a man by any means."
Eileen and Erza just watched then Rhonith went on.
"Some of the guys in the world you want to beat some sense into them. I don't care what the problem is; you don't put your hands on a woman unless you are embracing them. It's already bad enough that women are afraid to love and it's because of that reason. In fact there are some real men in the world that die for a woman that is hurting. They know that she is faithful but thanks to the person she was with broke her so much that she can't even bring herself to love again."
Erza looked at her mother who was just silent then they heard Nyxiah talk.
"It goes both ways. There are women afraid of men and there are men afraid of women. Depending who you are with there is a chance you might run into one of them. But I swear, if I see a guy lay a hand on a woman I will not hold back in wanting to kill him. Who cares what the law says to hit a woman, you dare put a hand on a woman, I will kill you. You know why? I just don't GIVE A FUCK!"
A pause then Nyxiah looked at Eileen and Erza and softly spoke.
"Would you ladies like some soup? It's chicken with dumplings and cream?"
Erza looked at her mother then looked at him.
"Yes please."
They both joined the Severin brothers for lunch and as they were eating Eileen was thinking about what Rhonith had said. She nearly flinched when she saw a spoon of soup in front of her mouth. She looked over to see that Rhonith was holding the spoon of soup.
"You should eat it before it gets cold."
She took the bite and Erza smiled as she watched. She looked at Nyxiah who was next his brother eating the soup. Rhonith then looked at his brother.
"So what's the theme for tonight?"
Nyxiah swallowed then spoke.
"Night in Italy. As for music it will be Salsa with a hint of Tango."
Rhonith nodded then erza looked at her mother who was still quiet.
"How's the soup, Mom?"
Her mother looked at her.
"The soup is amazing."
After having soup Erza looked at them.
"Thank you for the soup."
With that she and her mother left to get to the hotel.
When they got there Eileen and erza went to the Spa treatments to get a massage. As they were both getting massages Erza looked at her mother with concern.
"Mom, is something wrong?"
Her mother looked at her.
"I was just thinking."
"About what?"
"What Mr. Rhonith said."
Erza understood then she saw her mother put her face down.
'Mother, what's wrong?'
Eileen on the other hand just thought to herself.
'It's a good thing they were both there. Did Mr. Rhonith mean what he said?'
At the Penthouse
"Rhonith, will you just talk to her already? I can clearly see that you're interested in her."
Rhonith looked at him.
"I don't know, I noticed how quiet she was when we were having soup. If I try to rush things with her, it's clear that she'll reject me."
"She already heard how you feel about what a bad guy is and what you're willing to do in a case like that."
"You're right, I'll talk to her tonight."
"Good, and I'll ask the musicians to play something that everyone could dance to."
"Thank you."
"Anytime."
AN: There is another chapter completed! As for the law part I know it was a real law in the past but I'm not sure if it is one today somewhere. Anyway, thank you for reading and I will update hopefully next Monday!
