All Chapters of Death Of A Rivera: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Jacob Astor loosed a signed contract with Ethan on June 12, Lucas also loosed a contract or was suppose to sign a contract with Ethan on that same June 12. My life is suddenly becoming an opera. I've been seating on this chair for an hour now, trying to come up with ways that this all ties to Ethan's death. If I could blame or suspect Jacob for Ethan's death, then I suppose I can do the same to Lucas. No one is to be trusted. Besides, he popped out of nowhere to help me. How sure am I that this isn't some kind of sick game he's playing with me. The door to the living room opened and I stayed firm on my seat, waiting for Lucas to come into sight. He does and when he sees me planted on the chair, he smiles. "Are you just getting back from the Riveras?"

I struggle to look at who grabbed me but there was no one.Immediately I stand to my feet, I see a light flash from across the street and I knew that just be help. I sprint forward, almost bumping into the car but it stopped right on time before it could crush my feet. Out hopped Elaine and Hunter. I feel my body relax as my friend runs to me and gives me a hug."God! I was so terrified" I wept into her shoulder crying. Hunter is flashing a into the dark corners, checking for any one that might be there."What happened?" Elaine questions but I'm shaking my head in fright. I'm not even sure what happened exactly. "I called Griffin on our way here and told him to meet us at the mansion""Do you think it's a good idea Griffin goes there?" I ask, feeling my body tremble."Sure. Riley is taking him there""Who?""Let's just say he's a friend" Elaine smiles, wra

Lucas and I keep our hands locked as we stroll down the street, coming back from our short walk. Ellie keeps running ahead, sniffing everything she comes in contact with."I never knew my dad. It had always been me and my mom" I tell Lucas prior to the question he asked me."Aren't you going to give your mom a call?""I can't. It might be risking everything we've worked for you till now. If someone is actually unto me, they might trace the call." I bael. Who says I don't miss my mom. I do, everyday but I just can't call her. I would have loved for her to know I'm still alive and well but I think it's best to keep it low for now."If you need to talk to someone or need anything, just talk to me" Lucas gives my hand an assuring squeeze before lifting it to his mouth and kissing it."Thanks" I smile."How about do with a little sprint. First to get home first?""You're more an athlete than I am" I complain with a smile on my face."Give it a try" He pushes and I start for the house withou

I hold Autumn in my arms for the longest time before I look up to smile at Diana and muttering a thank you to her. She winks at me before grabbing a seat on the table. She and Ash share an uncomfortable stare before they look away."I'm so happy to see you Mrs Grayson" Autumn said. "you never come to the house anymore?"I feel someone place a hand on my shoulder and when I look up, it's Ash. She has a smile on her face as she bent down to the be the same height as Autumn and when the little girl finally recognises her, she gasp."Aunt Ash?""Oh Autumn how are you" Ash hugged her tight, swaying her from side to side. According to Ash, the last time she saw Autumn, she was asking her about me. I dab at my eyes, brushing away a tear that was in my eye. I can't believe she's here."What did you tell Nicole?" I ask Diana."I'm going to the Graysons with Autumn. Nicole even said

Lucas takes my hand the moment we step out of his dark Limousine. A thousand lights flash in our faces and it took me back to the night of the Rivera ball. The carpet is red and as we walk up the stairs, I see many people in their masks, one even has on a peacock mask and it makes me giggle. A mask ball is like a mature version of kids playing hide and seek.  I'm wearing a golden satin gown. The length of it is to my high heels shoes, my hair is parked in a stylish bun by a very expensive hairdresser, Lucas called in. Turns out, he hasa Manor here in New York. A lot bigger that the mansion in Seattle. A news reporter, steps fun front of us, pointing the microphone to Lucas mouth. "Is true you're married Mr Grayson?"
