#Chapter14Diana's P.O.VEthan came out of the bathroom with his eyes roaming the club as if he was looking for something in particular, my suspicion was confirmed when his eyes landed on River.I knew him long enough to know that look well, it was clearly the look of lust, maybe even adoration I refused to believe it was love but what hurt me the most was the fact it was for another woman. A part of me realized it was bound to happen from one point or another because of what I did to him but my heart refused to believe it in any way shape or form.FlashbackI anxiously roamed from one direction of my friend's examination room to the next as my heart pounded loudly against my ribcage.I was scared, scared to be pregnant at the tender age of twenty. I wasn't even finished with college. My life would be over and I couldn't do much about it if I was.The knocking on the door stole me out of my train of thoughts and just as I turned, I came face to face with a very joyful Irene.I
#Chapter15Present DayDiana’s P.O.VI woke up from the constant buzzing of my phone so after some twisting and turning, I finally decided to pry my eyes open and answer my phone already knowing it was probably Emma who would wake me up at this ungodly hour."I need to talk to you. What time do you want to meet," She asked, as I placed a hand on my head?I think I did a little too much drinking last night.I examined the right side of the bed to make sure Ethan wasn't there before speaking freely. " Yes, I will meet with you in thirty minutes," I replied, quickly ending the call.***I walked into the same cafe we meet at last time to find Emma sitting in the corner waving her hand and I walked to the table.She stood up shaking my hand. "Good morning Mrs. Scott," she said, as I motioned for her to sit down."Can we get right to the point," I said, sitting right across from her.She shook her head as she gave me a familiar look. I knew that look perfectly; it was the loo
#Chapter16Diana’s P.O.VI walked to the kitchen and pulled the abortion serum from my pocket. I poured a glass of freshly made orange juice and added all the serum to it.I could not take any chances. I had to get rid of her.I placed the bottle back in my pocket, grabbed the glass of orange juice and made my way up the stairs and into Rivers room to find her putting away some clothes.She looked at me with curious eyes before saying, “Yes Mrs. Scott.”“Drink the glass of orange juice it’s good for the baby.”“Ok,” she replied, looking into my eyes but after a couple of sips she put down the cup.“No, no the whole cup since your lacking nutrition these past couple days,” She nodded her head before drinking the rest of the glass and handing it back to me.This was great in less than a day I will be rid of her and that mess of a child she’s pregnant with.I walked out only to bump into Ethan but all he did was examine me and then walk past me.The shattering of glass came fro
#Chapter17Rivers P.O.VI awoke to the sound of classical music. If I don’t recall it was Fur Elise by Beethoven. Ever since I was little hearing this piece would make me want to close my eyes and daydream of the best possible outcome but now for some reason, that little girl faded. She was hidden behind a chamber and only God knows what could save her.“Good morning Ms. Campbell,” the doctor said, "My name is doctor Allison Blanchard, how are you feeling today?”“Fine thank you, “I replied, wiping my eyes and getting up as slowly as possible.“Your blood test results are clear and now that your health is stable, I would like to do an ultrasound to make sure the baby is in good health. Of course, if you approve Ms. Campbell.”“Of course, whatever you feel is needed to help the baby,” I replied, joyfully.“Great, can you walk or-”“No, ah yes I can walk, “I replied while getting up to walk towards the door.“Here take my hand,” Dr. Blanchard said, extending her arm.“Is anyone
#Chapter18Diana’s P.O.VI could not believe what was happening one minute Ethan and I were happy and the next we are on the verge to divorce all because of that bitch River. If she thinks a divorce will break apart our love then she has another thing coming for her that’s for sure but tonight I wasn’t going to stress it because I was going out with my friends and I wanted to get drunk as well as forget everything in the process.We were currently being led to our table by a waiter to the second floor near the ocean view, but right when I took a seat my phone began to ring in my clutch, I pulled it out to find Emma was the one calling so I step away from the table to take the call.“What do you want Emma did I not- “She interrupts me before I say anymore." They’re here,” she says with fear laced in her words.“I do not have the damn time to play the guessing game say what you have or leave me be, “I whisper yell." Third floor, Ethan, and River,” she says and I immediately clos
#Chapter19River’s P.O.V“River!!!!”I turned around as slowly as I possibly could in fear.There was no way she was out of jail yet it was just too early.This cannot be happening.I began to breathe harder as my palms were releasing sweat faster than lighting but I could not give up like this I had to be strong for my baby and for Ethan.I turned completely and my mom was standing there with a look of disappointment in her eyes.“How did this happen? How did you get pregnant by a married man? What are you stupid? “She asked giving me a look of hatred as my eyes were roaming, I caught Diana from a distance rushing out and I knew it was her that was up to no good. She was always up to no good. I knew it was her who gave me the poison but I could not tell Ethan that it would ruin his trust with Diana. I could not be the reason for that.“Mom let me explain. “I said trying to catch her hands in my embrace but she backed away and began walking the other direction. Aiden had cance
#Chapter20Ethan’s P.O.VI awoke with the sun shining brightly onto my heavy-lidded eyes. I resented mornings ever since I was a youngster but today was different and that reason was River. Of course, I was also excited to know the gender of our baby and hopefully today we were going to find out.I walked into the bathroom took a quick shower and in a matter of minutes, I was out looking fresh like a baby’s bum so I decided to call River hoping she did not forget or even worse was still sleeping. It rung a few times and a finally heard a hello but it wasn’t then I’m excited to hear from you hello it was the beaten down and tired hello.“Good morning angel did I wake you, “I ask, grabbing my wallet off of my dresser.“Oh, good morning and no you didn’t.” She says yawning and I roll my eyes in disbelief.“Did you forget?”“Forget what?”“You literally forgot what today is?”I never thought I would get to this point in my life where I remember all the important things but it was
#Chapter21Diana’s P.O.VFor the past twelve weeks, I would sit on my bed and stare at the ceiling. Every time I tried to rationalize what my mother and I planned on doing to River I felt like it was me who was going to kill but the truth is all we were doing is helping the killer.I stood there and gazed at my facial features as I reordered what happened that day.“My name is Mateo García,” he said extending his muscular arm towards me while examining me with his dark brown eyes.“Diana.......“It took me a while to process that soon enough my last name will no longer be Scott before I replied, “Diana Richmond. “I smiled ushered for him to take a seat as I looked at his file, “What do you have against River? “I asked pressing my lips together.“She is the reason for my father’s death,” He replied, with fire piercing through his eyes.” And I want to make her and her mother pay.“That’s fine by me, “I announced giving him a dour look. “But we have to plan this strategically so muc
