Ethan’s P.O.V

Today was the day, of course, I hated that Diana always got her way but I was also happy that I might have a kid.

My mother, Diana and I were at the doctor’s office waiting for the girl my mother mentioned.

After a while, a familiar face walked our way and I remembered it was that same girl from the gathering.

She was a charm I had to admit and what kept me from actually kissing her plump and luscious lips was the ring on my left finger.

I had to tell myself this constantly.

“Hi,” She said, with a crooked smile.

I could tell she was surprised to see me and I was too.

“Hello, this my wife Diana Scott and I’m sure you already know my mother,” I said, glaring at my mother.

" Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Scott. “She replied, shaking Diana’s hand than mine.

I could tell she was nervous by the way she would avert eye contact from time to time.

" Please call me Ethan.” After a while, they called our names one by one and we all took turns going in.

A while later the doctor told us everything worked out ok and we should find out if Rivers pregnant in a few weeks.

" Ethan, I need to talk to you. “My mother said, glaring at me.

" Diana go home and take River with you.” I beamed, staring at them both.

She smiled replying,” Ok.” She kissed me on the cheek and they both left.

We both went to the hospital cafeteria to talk.

" Ethan it did not go as planned the doctor said Diana cannot produce a single egg.” She sighed burying her head in her hands.

" What? I thought the doctor just clearly stated everything went fine, as planned?” I asked, anger beginning to rise within me.

Oh great, that’s just what I need.

“I told him to say that,” she told me her eyes sparkling with mischief.

This could not be happening. This wasn’t happening

" Mother there is no baby eventually when we go do the sonogram she’s going to know,” I said, aggravated by my mother’s actions.

" No, she will not you and River are going to bring me a grandchild into this world,” she said making me furrow my eyebrows in confusion.

My eyes widened at the realization.

“Oh my God Mom please don’t tell me you set this up. Please tell me you didn’t.”

She rolled her eyes. “So, I paid off the hospital manager to play with the results to give Diana false hope.”

“You’re saying it as if it’s not a big deal,” I replied while running my hand through my hair in frustration.

“I had to because there’s no other way for you to have a biological child Ethan. “She flipped her jet-black hair to side.

I was pacing back and forth trying to come up with a solution and then it hit me.” We… I mean River and I can have a baby via IVF.” I told her and she shook her head.

She shook her head “IVF in this hospital isn’t possible because one its owned by Diana’s father and two it involves too many people and can get messy quickly. A different hospital isn’t possible because your wife is no different than an FBI agent. You and me both know the minute you check into a hospital anywhere in this world SHE WILL KNOW. How about a secluded place…uh no because its unsanitary and can cause my grandchild to have a birth defect. This is the only option.”

“I’m not cheating on my wife, “I stated and turned to leave.

" Ok, Ethan if you do not have this baby, I will expose your wife’s colorful past and she would not be able to go out in public without being harassed. “She gritted on her teeth.

I could not believe she was threatening me.

“Are you really threatening me? “I asked, in shock.

" Call it what you want Ethan once you hold your son in your hands you will see how good the feeling is,” Rage was overpowering me. “Just one night, “she said putting her index finger up.

“When?”

“She is in the guest house.”

I was going to teach that whore a lesson she would never forget.

Rivers P.O.V

I honestly could not believe that I was about to do this. I signed off my virtue to a guy I barely knew, and that was not the best part, I had to get pregnant.

I knew this was a bad idea from the beginning and yet I went with it.

A knock at the door stole me from my train of thoughts.

I walked slowly to the door, my hands were jittering and my palms were sweating, immensely but I kept telling myself it would be worth it in the end when my brother is healthy and when my mom is out of jail.

I opened the door slightly and Ethan walked in not bothering to acknowledge me.

Truthfully, I was hurting on the inside.

He was treating me so coldly but for some reason, I couldn't be mad at him.

" 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 has of me.

"Love simply does not have reason love it 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.

"Ok. I'm glad we cleared that up. “He replied, disregarding what he said a while back. As if he never hurt me.

A while later he leads me to the bedroom.

I woke up, lying right next to him. I got off of the bed and every inch of my body was sore.

I never knew or understood why I even liked him in the first place. I despise his presence. He's so cruel there was no gentleness in him at all.

I walked into the shower and began to scrub my body, a part of me wished I can take it all back and another part of me hoped this was just a nightmare.

I continued to scrub roughly and every time the scrub touched my body, I was thinking maybe it would go away. Once I finished, I tried to keep balance with the shower board, as I wrapped a towel around me as he was just standing there watching me. I felt mixed emotions rush over me as he took a step closer.

I put my hand up and cried but he continued to come closer.

My heart was beating so fast

He helped me dress then he picked me up bridal style and put me in a car ordering a guy to take me where I needed to go.

I did not want to see him because each time I would be reminded of this dreadful night. He hurt me emotionally and physically. Regret began to eat me up little by little.

Why did I have to do this?

Why did I have to give a married guy like him my virtue?

Andrews P.O.V

I was wandering around looking for that beautiful face. That innocent angel of mine River. I love her more than I love myself. She completes my puzzle. Without her I am nothing. Only if she returned those feelings, for me I would make her a princess.

Everything she wanted would be a command for me. I was waiting on the bridge in the same place she always passed.

Waiting for her to pass every day since the incident I have been coming here to wait for her. Today I had my cousin John search for anything that has to do with River. I wanted to find her. What seemed like an hour later John came running towards me.

" What took you so long, you idiot! "I exclaimed.

There were times when Jason just pushes that last damn button and this was certainly one of those times.

" I will tell you what I found out as long as you do not get upset Andrew. "He said, staring into my brown eyes with sympathy.

" Tell me."

"You can't get mad."

"Hurry up Jason tell me or I will cut off your balls." I hissed, making my hands the shape of scissors and he gulped.

"River left because her mother killed her dad. Now, River is in San Francisco with her brother in the hospital and her mother in jail. Also in...," He said turning his face the other direction and I can tell he was hiding something.

" What?" I said, gritting my teeth.

"Brace yourself. “He squealed and I could hear a hint fear in his words.

"In order to get the money, she is having an affair with a married billionaire, Ethan Scott." He said and I grabbed him by the collar.

" River doesn't do anything like that," I said, with venom in my words and he threw a bunch of photos on the ground.

I picked them up only to see River opening a door for that Ethan guy.

I felt like going to San Francisco and killing Ethan. Everything about him made me want to hate him more. I got in my car and in record time I was at the airport.

I got off the plane and there was a car waiting for me. I got in the car and started the engine. I was going to the jail cell to talk to Rivers mother. I needed an explanation.

Once I arrived, they let me sit against a clear plastic slot with a phone hanging on the side. She came and sat right across from me and picked up the phone. I could tell she hated me but I did not know why?

" What are you doing here? "She asked, with hatred in her words.

"I want to talk to you about River. "I replied, showing her the photos that John gave me." Did you know she is having an affair with a married man to pay for your lawyer?" I ask, putting a fake smile on my face and she put her hand on her heart.

"What my daughter does is none of your concern. "She yelled, getting up to leave.

I knew two things. One it was my time to leave and two Ethan Scott's death was going to be on my hands and I wouldn't rest until I saw his dead body lying in front of me.
