Back at class, Rio kept his behavior calm and even at break he stayed in his seat until it was over, which he went to Richel seat and started to teach her the short ways to improve after two months. But he kept his secret ways of learning to himself and promised not to teach it to anyone until he gets his descendent in the future who he would teach only to.
Time passed for him as he appeared back home and was greeted by Risa who tried to hug him but he stopped her, as he rather shakes her hand and went to freshen up before taken meal.
Risa who wanted to act like he was a pervert was just ignored by her accusation as he texted "I would sleep in the bed if you decide to keep going to grandpa and not make him worried" and she agreed but with another condition to pet her head any time he comes back home, which Rio nod in approval and she went to freshen up before they left to the hospital.
In the hospital, was given a few documents to sign that was less than Rio's own and she did but after Rio came back from the doctor's office, Grandpa said "You two can now do anything you want as you are husband and wife" as Risa was given a document to keep and Rio also as it was a pair marriage contract.
Risa quickly read through the document and found out the mistake she did, grandpa laugh at her saying it can not be change unless they both had a divorce.
Rio who kept his calm face asked if Grandpa was feeling better and he nodded in agreement, which after he had eaten and chat a little, they left him as he fell asleep and came back to their apartment.
That night, Risa question Rio if he was behind the contract and he denied it explaining that he also just signed as he thought it was his medical bill. Seeing that she still found him suspicious, Rio made it clear for her that he won't force her on anything and only want peace as he undresses to his bed garment.
Rio laid on the bed and told her to also get rest, which she did but turn away from him to prevent any baby making and Rio just slept facing the other side.
Another week had passed by and Rio was in class teaching Richel as he now sent more time with her than any other person on campus, which it was closing as they parted ways and she left to see someone back in the training center. It turns out that she always meets up with the person who was none other than Roma and the two seems to be in a relationship, as he questioned her why she was now around Rio most often and she explain making him understand that she had nothing for Rio.
At Rio's apartment, he was greeted by Risa who he now pets on the head and try his best to good with but she had change over the time she knew she was legally married to Rio. It was now difficult for Rio as she seems to now give him a cold shoulder and Grandpa also got the same reaction from her, which Grandpa advice Rio to take it easy on her as she is still young and might have some unreasonable accuse against him.
But he seems to not mind and even express to grandpa that he doesn't hold anything against her for her behavior, they had a nice conversation during the days Risa didn't go.
Miss Sia also had been doing some tasks for Grandpa since the time she found him and even pay him visits with stuffs to keep Grandpa happy, which she even reports how she most of the task have been completed as all the document were saved with her for the company, Rio and Risa, money and others. Soon enough, another month have jump away and Rio was in class as Miss Atina congratulate Richel for a rapid growth and told Rio to keep helping her.
Rio agreed as he kept working on his Art works and his three friends who seems to worried about why he had now been focused on only Richel approach him demanding to know why he stopped training for almost a most, which he was about to apologize when Richel speak for him saying "Didn't you see he is busy teaching me and also studying, which even if he stop training he would still beat all of you who have been training".
"We are not talking to you, bitch" Kane said
"Yes, you better stay out of this or" John replied but was cut off.
Richel retaliate back "Or what you dig heads. You think he is your friend so you could just come and take him away because we are getting close. You should know your limits the three of you!"
Chris who had enough punched her in the face as she fell on the ground and Rio reacted telling them to stop, which they said "So, you are going to stand by her side and ignore us who stood for you when she betrayed the class by standing for her boyfriend whose bro hurt you?" and Rio replied back with a text "It doesn't matter and is in the past".
Kane who could not hold it said "You think she like or would be grateful for all you are doing for? I promise you that she would backstab you and you would never recover to even achieve goals" as Rio replied "It doesn't matter and you should stop this".
Three guys who had enough said "You know what, you are right and is either you chose us over her or her over us" and Rio replied "I won't choose over either said and you should know that we are all friends".
John angrily said "Friends! You think we are friends after leaving us and following a girl who doesn't even value you as you force to make her yours, we all know that you have been crushing on her since you came to this school and she doesn't even see your worth. We even took you as a friend when she didn't and now you have gotten a chance to stay with her, you think she likes you and would be your friend! Why am I even talking. You are no longer part of us and this friendship is over! Guys, let leave to train" and Rio tried to stop them but they warn him to stay far from them.
Having been left with only Richel, Rio apologize for what the three guys did and try to help her but she slaps him as she left.
Rio who was hurt within just kept quiet and was about to take his seat when his phone ring, which he took it as he heard the doctor say "Mr. Rio, your grandpa is gone as we tried our best". He felt a knife piece his heart and quickly pack as he took his bag, running down the floors and out of campus, Rio dashed through the street and barely evading accident as he reaches the hospital.
Meeting the doctor who was in the dead Grandpa room and seeing him all dressed in the expensive outfit he bought for him; Rio grieve his teeth as the doctor gave him the book the dead grandpa said to be given to him and Rio placed it in his bag as he stood before the body.
Just as he was thinking about the last words Grandpa Jac said and carrying all the guilt, the door burst open as Risa appeared with a happy face calling her grandpa but her face change after seeing Rio standing at his bed quietly with fist fold.
"Rio, what is going on here?" she solemnly asked and Rio turn with face full of guilt as Risa rush to find the dead grandpa, which she fell on her knees and said "Is he dead, doctor?" as the doctor said yes. The nurses came inside covered the body as Risa cried out calling the dead grandpa saying "Grandpa isn't dead! He isn't dead!" and as they were taking the body away, she tried to stop them but Rio hug her to prevent her from reaching as him to let her go.
Rio who could not say a word just hug her tight as she cried cursing Rio for not letting her stop them from sending the body away.
The doctor said "Mr. Rio, we would hand over the ashes of the dead body to you for burier in two weeks' time and you can now take your leave" as he left the two to get hold of themselves. Risa kept crying in the hospital room where Grandpa once stayed until Miss Sia came and apologize for their lost, which she later gave them a ride to their apartment and told Rio she would be coming to pick him up to school from that day on.
Risa who was in the bathroom had herself cry inside as Rio prepared dinner and waited for her to finish.
After she came out and tried to consume half of her meal, she hit the rest away and run into bed room as Rio clean the mess before going to bath. Done dress in his normal dress as it was almost sun down and seeing Risa on the bed folded in the blanket, Rio walked tried to comfort her but she said "Leave me alone, Rio" as he went to his learning room and took out the book he was given.
Rio opened the book as he started to read it and found it to contain Risa family life, with how she was born and treated as he kept learning about her history. Getting to know that she had uncles and aunties who never cared about her, which her real parent activities that was the cause why she didn't have a good memory about her past. He closed the book as he had enough and decide to stop until he had buried Grandpa properly, which he would continue and finish the book.
He checks the time to find it was already night time and went to bed as he found her to be already asleep, which he covered her up before sleeping beside her and wish her good night.
The next day, Rio was already awake and had prepared breakfast before telling Risa he was leaving as she could call him when she needs anything. Miss Sia who picked Rio up and were heading to his school apologize once more for Grandpa Jac death, which Rio texted her "I know that we are related in another way but I don't want to talk about my family or business until it is time up. So, you should focus on your work and let not talk about anything this month".
Miss Sia nodded her head and drove him to school as Rio went to class hiding what he was going through, which he continued with his art works.
