River's POV

“My child is not a bastard!” I chanted the words of a mantra as I sat in the car. She has a father, even though he's a deadbeat, but that doesn't mean that she's a bastard. I couldn't believe that I let Nova's words get to me. I shouldn't let it get to me.

I leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on my daughter's forehead. She was still fast asleep. “I love you, baby.” I whispered quietly. “And I'll make sure I give you the best life that you can ever want. You won't ever feel your father's absence.”

After all, Killian is there for her. He loves her like she was his own. And that's all that matters. “We're here, ma'am.” The driver announced, and I stared out of the window to see that we were actually in front of my old house.

The same house that I lived in before moving out of the country with Killian. “Can you wait for me, please? I won't waste your time. I just need to get some things.” I said to the driver, who was staring at me through the rearview mirror, and he nodd

    River's POV“I'm currently busy, Miss Hayes. If there is anything you want me to do for you, you can state it. And I'll get it done.” He responded. He was my father's personal security officer, if there's anything like that. Mr Marco was once my father's best friend. I must say he was the one person who had made it possible for my uncle to be sent to jail. I exhaled sharply. “Why didn't you tell me that he has been released from jail?” I didn't need to call his name for Marco to know who I was referring to. “I have no idea, either. I stopped working with the police force a few months ago.”Shit! This is going to be hard. “Why was he released? Isn't he supposed to spend the rest of his life in jail?” That was what the judge said.“Well, he was released by an anonymous person. His identity wasn't disclosed.” He answered. An anonymous person? Could it be Nova? She was a lawyer, and she'll definitely get him out of jail. “A woman?” I enquired. I needed to know who this anonymous person

    River's POV“Over my dead body.” I spat, and he burst into laughter. The sound grated on my nerves.“Long time no see, little niece.” He chuckled darkly, the sound causing shivers down my spine. “Prison life doesn't agree with everyone, you know. But some of us... we find ways to keep busy." I clenched my jaw. How on earth did he get my contact? Ever since that incident, I haven't set my eyes on him. Nor did he have my phone number. So how did he get it? “What do you want, Robert?” I didn't care that I was calling him by his name. Someone who tried to force himself on me isn't worth my respect. Never! "I had a lot of time to think. About you. About that day….” His voice trailed off. “You wouldn't have ended up in that situation if you didn't try to force yourself on a fucking little girl, a fifteen-year-old.” I spat. He should be ashamed of himself for even trying to call me. I haven't stopped to wonder how he left jail. After I testified in court, my father made sure he was locke

    32River's POVI met Mary Huang at one of the business meetings that was hosted by our company. She was a really good lady. Every moment I spent with her was worth it. She was funny and jovial, unlike other wealthy people that were in attendance.“Miss Hayes?” Mary Huang called as soon as she saw me. She bowed her head in greeting, and I smiled at her. Who would have thought that my long-time friend was indeed the owner of the Pearl Heart Fashion House?I almost didn't recognise her at first. The last time we met each other was four months ago. “Good day, Miss Hayes. Welcome to our esteemed Pearl Heart Fashion House.” She greeted with a slight bow of her head. “What did you come to get from us today?” she asked, and I raised my hand up, showing her the necklace in my hands.“This necklace,” I responded, and she smiled at me.“Thank you so much for getting this. It was starting to stay longer than expected in the vault. I'm glad you got it.” She smiled softly at me.“It's nothing, Mar

    31River POV“Will you be fine? ” Killian asked as I got ready to leave for the mall. He wanted to come with me, but I asked him to stay back, telling him that I'll be fine on my own. I wanted to have alone time with my daughter before I eventually start going to work.My boss was kind enough to let me take a few days off and settle down properly. I was really happy when he told me that I could take a few days off before resuming fully.“Of course, yes,” I answered, somewhat embarrassed to meet his eyes. After the kiss that we shared last night, I've found it hard to face him. It's not like it was the first time that we were kissing. But I was embarrassed because I was the one who initiated it…. Ugh! I always did, and that was because I was getting sexually attracted to him.Boy, you can't blame me for it. Killian was hot, no doubt about that. He's tall, with shoulders that fill up a doorway. Not a bodybuilder, not that bulky muscle, but a natural, athletic build. He's... I quickly st

    Nova's POV “What did you just say?” Rowan frowned. He clearly wasn't expecting those words from me.“You heard me right, Rowan. “I want a divorce.” I repeated, and I heard him sigh. He ran his hands through his hair.“Come on, Nova, what has gotten into you? Why are you suddenly acting up?”“I should be asking you those questions, Rowan.” I hissed. “How can you expect a child not to cry when you scold them?” I glared daggers at him. “You accused me of cheating on you, and now I'm not expected to go mad?” "You know I didn't mean it that way. I just wanted you to explain yourself. That's all.” I scoffed loudly in annoyance. “You wanted me to explain myself, huh? Is that a way to request it?”“You could have come out plain and asked me why I was in a strange car, not blatantly accusing me of cheating. That's a stupid thing to do.” He tried to touch me, but he stopped when I glared at him. “Don't you dare touch me.” I hissed, and he just sighed. He said the words I'd never heard him u
