The next day Rhonith was with Erza and Nyxiah at the casino and the same exact thing happened to Erza. She betted on the same number and color three times. He then left to look for Eileen and only to enter into Eileen and Erza's room. Erza had given him her key since she had won so much cash and she didn't want to carry it everywhere so he offered to take it all to her room.

While he was in there he spotted a note and Eileen's phone. He wondered why she left it there knowing that Erza might call her so then he picked the note up and sat on the bed then began to read.

Hello,

If anyone is reading this, that means my sickness has run its course. My daughter Erza doesn't know and I couldn't bring myself to tell her. When my time is over please give my daughter everything. It pains me to know that she's going to be alone soon.

I wish to be cremated I already lived my life in a box, I don't wish to be buried in one.

P.S. Erza, I love you don't ever forget that! Stay strong!

Rhonith was in a state of shock as he lowered the note.

"She was sick this whole time?"

He then thought about what he had asked her while they were dancing and understood why she didn't say yes right away. He folded the note and put it into his pocket. He whipped out his phone and began texting Eileen on the phone he gave her.

Eileen?

Rhonith? Is something wrong?

Where are you?

Eileen?

I'm at the cemetery

Alright, I'm coming

With that he took off out of the room and rushed out of the hotel to the cemetery that was across the bridge where he first hugged Eileen.

'It's not true! It can't be true!'

When he arrived to the cemetery it wasn't long before he spotted long scarlet hair. He rushed to the bench that Eileen was sitting on and she looked at him.

"Rhonith?"

Rhonith sat on the bench next to her then he brought anarm around her and pulled her close to him not daring to let her go.

"Rhonith, what is it?"

He let her go and pulled the note out. Eileen looked away with a sad expression.

"Does Erza know?"

"No. I saw it."

Eileen looked at him then Rhonith lowered the note down.

"Eileen, please talk to me. What happened? I want to know everything."

"…."

"So far all I know about you is that you had Erza while you were still in high school and that you have a huge fear of men."

Eileen lowered her head but Rhonith leaned in closer then she looked at him.

"I will tell you everything but can we go somewhere private?"

"Yeah. For safety, we'll go to my penthouse."

They left the cemetery and back to the hotel. When they got there they went to the penthouse and sat on the love seat. Rhonith had red wine for them both then he sat with her. Eileen was nervous but she had already agreed to share her life story with him.

"Before I start, will you inform your brother that we're here."

Rhonith nodded and sent his brother a message.

(At the casino)

Nyxiah and Erza were both walking out of the casino to the dance floor. As they were there Nyxiah looked at his phone only to see a message from his brother.

I have Eileen with me, keep Erza busy until I tell you otherwise.

Nyxiah raised a brow but then he looked at Erza who was coming to him with cake. He smiled and accepted a slice.

'Whatever it is Rhonith, please don't get angry.'

(At the penthouse)

Eileen couldn't look at Rhonith as they sat on the couch but she began to talk.

"To start off how I became afraid of men was from my childhood. I grew up under an abusive father. In the start he only beat my mother then after my 10th birthday he began beating me and talking down to me saying that he never wanted me. Not long after that my mother fell sick and didn't survive. I did my best just to please my father by doing everything he said women were supposed to do, such as cooking and cleaning. I never said anything to anyone out of fear of what would happen so I just went only like that until I was in my third year of high school."

Rhonith just looked at her then Eileen went on.

"Because of how my father was to my mother and me that's where my fear began of men. As for the love I didn't know how to love anyone but one day I met someone and he was nice to me. It was my first time talking to anyone but in the start I had declined but then it got to the point he followed me home and would visit my home at night. I thought I was living in a fairy tale of some sort so I allowed him to get close to me but I refused to sleep with him. At first he didn't harm me but rather his friends told me that he worshipped me."

Eileen stopped and hugged herself as she recalled everything and began to tremble in her seat. Rhonith looked at her. He told her in the past that if she wanted to talk that he was all ears for her.

"Eileen…."

"One day he became angry at me just because I didn't want to sleep with him then he…."

She tightened her grip on her sleeve then went on.

"He raped me."

Rhonith's widened in shock then he reached out to Eileen only for Eileen to cling onto him.

"When I learned that I was pregnant with Erza I became scared but I decided to keep her and get out of that place. I saved up until I noticed that I began to show and at the time I was already of my father. I didn't want to know what he would do to me if he found out that I got pregnant so I ran away."

She looked up at him then lowered her head so that she could lean on his chest.

"That was the first time that I was on my own but soon I met someone else."

"Who?"

She smiled, but a sad one.

"Papa Rob. He was a farmer and he found me sleeping in his barn house while I was still running away from that nightmare."

Rhonith had calmed a little then brought a hand up and placed it on her back.

"He took you right into his home?"

Eileen closed her eyes and nodded.

"Yes he did. At first I declined because I felt like I would be a burden. After all I was a pregnant teenager at the time and where I lived most of my life I was labeled as a whore. Papa Rob didn't see me like that. But I'll never forget him."

"Where is he now?"

Eileen got off him and looked away.

"He's dead."

Rhonith's eyes widened again.

"What?"
