#Chapter31River’s P.O.V“You did not answer my question. Was it Andrew you scammed to get-“He started but I was sick of his negative presence so I decided to answer his stupid ass questions that contained no logic.I pinched the bridge of my nose than finally said, “It belongs to my uncle Mateo Garcia and I am the CEO of this company. “I informed and his eyebrows went up in disbelief.I was expecting that." Mateo Garcia is your uncle, “he said and I nodded my head.“Now that I have answered all your questions-”“It’s funny really how you believed I contained any actual emotions towards you or how you thought I was actually going to remain loyal. “He smirked and my eyes pierced open as sadness overshadowed my face but I was trying to remain in one piece so he doesn’t realize his effect on me.“You cheated on me......“I asked afraid of the answer.“Multiple times. “He said, running his thumb on his bottom lip as my breathing began to get heavier and a tear stroked my cheek mid

#Chapter33River’s P.O.VI was running down the studio hallway, so I could go help the models and these heels were not making it any better. It was so damn hard to run in six-inch heels but it was an important event so I couldn’t wear a pair of sneakers.While running, I looked down maybe for a split second to make sure there was nothing poking against my skin and out of nowhere I hit what seemed like a stone rock at the point.I was still looking down, “Are you ok Ms.” A deep familiar masculine tone spoke as I looked up in shock this was too much of him for one day.“Ethan, “I said, my voice drifting off and his eyes went up.“Oh, I am so sorry River I did not mean too. “He was interrupted by familiar whining growing closer to us.***Ethan’s P.O.V“Mommy, mommy I don’t want to put on the tie it makes my collar bone itch.” a child yelled, running behind River as the guy tried to chase him.I just stared down at what seemed like a replica of me.Oh, my goodness, he looke

#Chapter35Rivers P.O.VI quickly backed away wiping my tears and looked at Ethan. “I’m so sorry that was not professional at all I have no idea what got into me. “I explained, scratching the top of my scalp in embarrassment.“No no no no I am the one who should be sorry after all I was the one who caused the tears on your face, “he said, with slight anger in his voice and I nodded at the pure truth.“You can swing by today meet with him, talk to him, get to know him maybe even play with him I advised my friend she is a therapist and she said to take it slow but if he shows positive signs, and nothing goes wrong we can tell him your his father in about a week. “I smiled assuringly and he gave me a puzzled look.“What do you mean something goes wrong. “He asked, closing his arms his muscles tensing.“Oh no no no I do not mean between us or anyone else interference, what I meant was that Nate is a really intelligent kid and can pick up things quickly so he can probably put the puzz

#Chapter37River’s P.O.VI closed my eyes and took a deep breathe not wanting to answer his question but then again, I did not want to lie to him.He deserved to know the truth but a fear of mine kept me from revealing it. I wasn’t sure Ethan planned on hurting Nate anytime soon and that’s what left a lump in my throat.It scared me drastically but I knew sooner or later I had to tell him and now that the opportunity came, I had no right to be selfish by keeping this away from him.I took a deep breath and finally said, “Yes, honey Ethan is your father.”The words escaped my mouth quickly yet there was no change in Nate’s expression as Ethan gazed at him with a smile.We stood there in uncomfortable silence waiting for Nate’s reaction but there was nothing, he was taking it better than we all accepted.After about thirty minutes, I felt it was indeed time to break the silence.“So, do you guys want to go out or stay in and order take out? “I asked, as casual as possible and to

#Chapter39River’s POV“Ethan no we can’t,” I said, looking directly ahead and he simply looked up with a smirk forming on his face.“I was just kissing you but if you want, we can always do more. “He replied in a snazzy tone and I rolled my eyes at how childish he was being.“Are you joking?” I asked in a rhetorical manner and he shook his head.“When do I ever joke, especially when it comes to you? “He asked in a smug tone.This was one of the reasons I did not want him to stay over.He always found a way to charm his way through things.It was rather sickening and frustrating so I decided to set him straight in hope of nothing going wrong or I would just run for my life in hope of him never catching me.“Well, um, Ethan goodnight.” I made sure I had enough space to run and so I made the move but to my displeasure, he gripped my hips pinning me in place without any way to exit.“You can’t leave now.” He demanded to create a wave with his eyebrows and I furrowed my eyebrows
