#Chapter59Ethan's P.O.V"What if I..."she sighed and I could since a little fear in her voice."Get arrested. Don't worry there are some strings I could pull to get you out of the mess. I mean sure you will end up working for police for a short term but you won't enter jail." I replied with as much confidence I could pull off."Ok I will do it." She replied back and her tone had more fear than before. I felt a sense of relief wash over my shoulders as I closed the phone and handed it to Fatima.Thirty Minutes later Diana came back with dozens of bags filled with clothing and a smile from ear to ear."Ethan come see your clothes." She commanded with her hand and I couldn't help but feel disgusted of everything but disgusted with of her mostly. I quickly walked up to her to find and she handed me a pink top.I threw it back at her, “You know I don't wear pink. “I snapped and her smile became even bigger as she handed me a purple shirt and I threw it back, “I don't wear purple. “A
#Chapter60River's P.O.VMy heart beat accelerated as I felt the gun touch my head. My palms were sweaty and my whole body was shaking but I was determined on not crying for help.The only thing that crossed my mind the whole time, were my babies. There the only thing that matters at the moment.There the reason why I was staying strong. I didn't want her to believe I had a weakness."You will pay for everything you have done." Diana hissed, which caused chills to go down my spine. I was trying really hard to quiver but I was failing miserably.I couldn't hold back any more shriek escaped my lips "Diana please. You wouldn't only be killing me. You would be killing my children." It came out as a beg but to be honest I didn't believe it would do me any good. I knew she had a heart made of stone but deep down I wanted to believe she would feel for me since after all we shared similar DNA.She gritted on her teeth and tugged at my hair with force," Shut the hell up I don't want to h
#Chapter61River's P.O.V"Diana, you have to stop," A familiar masculine voice said from behind me and I turned my head slightly to lock eyes with Ethan.Ryan arrived shortly after him but all I could focus on is whether or not I was going to make it out alive, if we were all going to make it out alive."It's too late for that Ethan. You're not mine anymore and the only way I can make you mine again is to get rid of the problem." Tears found their way down her cheeks as she pointed the gun towards my heart.I closed my eyes from all the fear that consumed me and sooner than later a loud gun shot was heard but I didn't feel anything. I was still standing unless it wasn't me.My eyes flew open to find Ethan lying on the ground covered in blood.Tears began to stream down my face like a waterfall," No no no no, please Ethan wake up. You can't do this to me. "I yelled running my hands through his hair."I’m on it." Ryan assured me taking out his phone.He groaned and his eyes flut
#Chapter62River's P.O.VWe were staring at each other intensely before someone cleared throat," Are you guys going to remain outside mentally tearing each other’s close off with your eyes or actually enter the house? “Kenan chuckled and Ethan shot him a glare before passing him to enter."You do realize your nearly thirty so I expect you to be somewhat mature about this, right? "Kenan shook his head and right when Ethan left a smirk formed on his lips."You’re not dropping the subject, are you? "He chuckled and shook his head. "Good to know.""Oh, my goodness it's so good to see you after all this time River. “Mary laughed and took me into her embrace. "When are you going to find out the genders?""Today actually our appointment is at four thirty. "I smiled and she did as well."Don't forget to inform me way before mother or anyone else alright. "I shook my head trying not to laugh because that's the same exact sentence Angelina said."I heard that you know." Angelina said wal
#Chapter63River's P.O.V"Ahhh no, it's just too much." I hissed and he looked at me as if it wasn't a week but a year, he was giving me."Don't worry about the guests, the decoration's, the invitations, the location because that’s all taken care of all you have to worry about is bride's maids, dresses, and showing up," He chuckled, looking at me then back the road."Ethan come on let's think logical here, we can't have a wedding in under a-""Just trust me. I have everything under control."Present Day (Three Days Later)Those are the words I remember as I stare back at myself in the full-length mirror all dressed in white.I just pray things don't turn into a complete and utter disaster."So how are you and Ryan doing Serenity?" I asked for the millionth time since she kept on ignoring me but I was determined to get an answer."Ummm, things are progressing." She shook her head reassuringly and I rolled my eyes."How exactly?" Violet asked jumping into the conversation."W
#Chapter64EPILOGUERiver's P.O.VAbout eleven years later"Elijah, Evan stop running in the house you’re going to break something," I yelled, trying not to get angry at them I mean after all it was there first time making an A on their math test."Those imbeciles are not going to listen to you Mom, they have an attention span of apes, “Elaine claimed while setting her bag on the chair.She was witty yet intelligent and had her father’s ocean blue eyes but dirty blonde hair."You do realize we share similar DNA as apes, right? "Mason asked, as always trying to make his sister feel stupid."Mommy where's Nathan? "Angel asked, tugging on my jeans with her tiny hands.I smiled picking her up, "He's working with your dad at the company. You know once Nathan becomes twenty-three, he will take over. So he has to show him how things work.""Will he live with us if he becomes the CEO. "She visibly gulped and I could tell she didn't want him to leave us.I shook my head, "Don't worry
#Chapter1---------PROLOGUE“I honestly do not know what type of game you’re playing here but do not think, not for a second that I will leave my wife for a slut like you.” He began to yell in a harsh tone, causing me to freeze in my tracks.” Give me one good reason, why I should love you and if you think a baby will change the way I feel about you then you’re wrong. I don’t love you River. In fact, I never will.” He said, with venom in each of his words.I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. I could not believe this is the picture he had of me.“Love simply does not have reason love is an indescribable feeling and I am not asking anything on your behalf, “I replied, matching the same tone as his.Of course, deep down I knew it was all a lie.--------------Ethan's P.O.VI thought I had everything I wanted, everything I desired from this world, and never once was it money or success or even power it was the beautiful woman I was married to. The women I could stare
#Chapter2Rivers P.O.VThere was a reason or reasons behind all the mess that began and yes it was a horrible, tragic mess but when one touch ignites every nerve in your body even though you don't want to acknowledge that horrible mess deep down in you, you know it’s the reason. One of the main reasons this mess began was a problem named Andrew.That night I was coming from the Scott fields to go to their family mansion for the gathering that was happening. I had begun working ten-hour shifts about a month back since my dad got fired from what seemed like his millionth job at the time. I sort of lost track after the tenth. So, I was forcing my eyelids open from exhaustion as I entered their home.I was still in my work clothes so I headed towards the bathroom my mom told me about only to find it occupied. Without much thought, I went upstairs to search for another bathroom and to my luck, it was the first door on the right. I quickly changed into my white and blue lace dress that r
