Kyosuke climb from the mattress and covered her precious body with the sheets. He walked around the items on the floor and made himself out of the room. To shower and prepare for the following days in his schedule then handle business calls from the company.

She slowly opened her eyes and watched him stumble upon a few bottles while leaving out. She turned in the other direction facing the wall. Remembering that night vividly and felt soreness in between her legs with a little blood.
The actions and mistakes leading up to this point caused her greater miserly. Feel shame and like a soiled towel that someone tossed in the trash after being used.
There was a void in her heart that couldn't be filled. Nothing seemed to ease the pain that was slowly devouring her.
She reached her hand on the side of the bed and reach for a bottle. She desperately wanted to drown herself until there was nothing left for her to feel.

" Young Master gave us a spare key so I'm unlocking the door now."
The servant entered the room with breakfast on a circular platter of eggs for protein and other assorted fruits, and vegetables. It was a glass of water and on the side in a paper cup were two pills that looked like vitamins to the human eye then turned and saw the woman underneath the sheets covering her head.
"I will be back to retrieve the empty dishware."

Kyosuke read through the files in his study and updated information on his laptop for the company.
"Come in. How may I help you?" He questioned and put down the folder.
The servant entered the study and informed him about her condition." Madam refuses to speak with anyone and leaves her room."
He took a deep breath and scoot out from the chair.
"I thought things were fine. Did I misread the situation last night?"

Kotori stare at her reflection in the mirror and could barely recognize herself anymore. She heard a knock on the door again and then put her head through the randomly picked shirt. It annoyed her that there wasn't any sense of privacy, and these people would not leave her alone. After putting on loosely fitted black shorts, she opened the door.
Her expression did not budge and all life escape from her eyes. She was nothing more than an empty shell wondering on this earth with thrones piercing her flesh in eternal suffering. – She's a ticking bomb waiting to explode.
"What do you want?" She asked in a nasty attitude.
"You are supposed to be on River Point rehearsing for the film that's premiere the following year. I can't continue to make excuses for you missing two weeks' worth of production."
She turned around and walked back into her room," You shouldn't because I quit, and I will pack up my things and leave. --There's no point in continuing this contract since we broke one of the rules last night."
"You seduce me to break the contract but that's not how it works. Rules are made to be broken occasionally and you signed your signature without reading the bold print. If one party wants to divorce under any circumstances before the two years, it must be a mutual agreement to end the contract. --- Why are you acting like this? You have been this way since your brother died. He wouldn't have wanted this for you. The living is for the living."
"Don't act like you fucking know everything. You don't know the first thing about Hideaki and what he would've wanted!" She screamed and clenched her chest being overwhelmed. That probably set her off—She pushed everything on the ground that was on the dresser and threw things against the wall, even the picture from both.
" He told me to keep his cancer a secret from you because he didn't want to hurt you."
She fell to her knees and tears formed in her eyes
"It's time for you to plan his funeral." He places his hand down on her shoulder and stood behind her.
Those were the last words that she wanted to hear. It pained her so much to hear.
