River woke up because of the cold air touching her skin so she was forced to get up to turn off the air conditioner in her room, but when she got off the bed her naked body was exposed in front of her. So her eyes immediately widened because she could clearly see her naked body in front of the mirror.She was almost shocked of what she saw in front of the mirror, so she tried to remember what happened to her last night. Until she remembers everything that's why she held her mouth and widened her eyes because of shame for what she has done and asked on Spencer last night."You're blushing River,"River turned her gazed to the familiar voice of the man who spoke from behind her. She immediately saw Spencer's bulk on the door jamb of her walk in closet. Suddenly, her entire face turned red from embarrassment."Maybe you want to get dressed?" Spencer's said sarcastically with a hint of a smile on his lips. River immediately looked down at her body when she noticed that she was still nake
River can't help but feel frustrated with Spencer's reaction earlier in the fight with Aliyah, his ex-wife. She knew she shouldn't be disappointed but she couldn't stop herself from feeling this way."He sided with Aliyah more than me." She whispered to herself.Then something immediate entered her mind that why would he defend and side with her? She's not the wife and most especially not his love! She's just his woman! She is just a compensation for his father's debt. So she has no right to feel important from Spencer."Of course his wife weighs more than me," she said to herself while taking a deep breath.Now River is wrapped in sadness and deep thoughts because of what is happening in her life now. Little by little, her tears started to fall because she remembered the family she left behind. Because since she was sold to Spencer and the last time she met her mother, she hasn't been able to talk to them anymore. She was also unable to contact them because Spencer forbade her to use
Spencer and Aliyah were both panting as they lay on the bed from the hot s*x they shared. It wasn't long before Aliyah fell asleep next to Spencer so He found an opportunity to call Troy to find out where he and River were now. He immediately got up and went to the mini bar in his room then instantly called Troy."Where are you now!?" He asked with a hint of annoyance because of how long Troy took to answer his call."We're still here at the Castelli Bar, boss." Troy answered."WHAT!? Wait! Why are you there? W-what are you doing there, Troy!?" He asked with a furrowed brow that is now smeared on his face due to anger."Miss! That's enough,""I DON'T WANT TROY! LET ME GET OUT MY ANGER! WHY!? THUS HE CAN BE THE ONLY ONE TO GET MAD!? I WANT TO RELEASE ANGER AND SADNESS TROY!" Spencer heard River's sudden scream from the other line, so he immediately ended the call and hurried to get dressed to head to the bar where Troy and River were. After arriving there, his eyes immediately caught
River had a headache when she woke up so she was not in the mood to get up even though it's noon. The things that happened to her and Spencer last night immediately came to her mind, so she suddenly felt ashamed of herself."Why did you do that River!? What bad wind made you do that!?" She whispered to herself as she covered her face with a pillow.She knew what she had done last night was wrong but she had no idea why she was drawn to the temptation of alcohol."Hey!"She slowly removed the pillow from her face then turned to the source of the voice. Her eyes almost widened when she saw Spencer's bulk in the middle of her room. So she sat down slowly and stared at him with red cheeks."W-what are you doing here?"She asked shakily with traces of nervousness. Spencer slowly approached her and crouched close to her face."We're leaving." He said as if teasing. River quickly averted her face and looked down. "W-where are we going?" She asked hesitantly."In your new home." He answered.
Spencer didn't see and visits River for a few days now because he was busy with Aliyah. But even though he and his wife are together, River is always on his mind. Even though he had his staff watch over her, he couldn't help but worry for her. He knows that someone else is chasing and interested on River because according to Troy's source, there is another person helping the Madrigal family who has the same power as him."S-spencer!" Aliyah called Spencer out of her thoughts. He immediately turned his gaze to her."What?" He immediately asked."Why do you think so deeply?" Aliyah asked raising an eyebrow."You know I have a lot of work Ali," was his only answer that was far from the truth."Work again? Ugh!"Aliyah rolled her eyes as she sipped her juice. They are at an exclusive restaurant to have dinner and to enjoy. But the opposite happened for Spencer, his getting bored at their dinner and he couldn't focus on his wife instead his mind focused on River."By the way, when can I se
River woke up in a dark room so she immediately got up and roamed her eyes around the room."W-where am I?" She asked herself softly as she slowly got off the bed."You're awake, Aliyah,"River looked around and looked for the source of a man's baritone voice until she caught sight of his figure on the side of the sliding door."W-who are you?"She asked with a wrinkled brow with a trace of fear. The man came closer to her little by little while she slowly take a back because of the fear that he might hurt her."Don't worry I won't harm you Aliyah," the man said, who seemed to speak calmly."I-I'm not Aliyah!" River said suddenly frowned and confused by what the strange man had mention. "W-what!? I can't be wrong, you're Aliyah and I know that!" Said the man who seemed sure of what he was saying."I-I'm not Aliyah! I-I'm River Madrigal," she said nervously because of what might happen to her."So who are you!? And why do you and Aliyah look alike!?" The man asked with a frown that al
Spencer's men attacked the house of Aliyah's ex-partner, Trevor, then searched for River. "Where's River!?" Spencer immediately asked while hiding behind a wall to avoid being hit by stray bullets from his guards and Trevor's."Maybe it's in Mr. Castro's room," Troy answered who was next to him with a gun."Go in immediately and kill all of Trevor's men or even him!" Spencer shouted orders to his men who immediately obeyed.While exchanging shots inside Trevor's house, Troy and Spencer easily entered a room where what they were looking for was there. They found River lying on the floor while the person they were chasing suddenly disappeared as if he knew what was going to happen to him so he suddenly disappeared like a bubble."River!" Spencer immediately said as she approached River then raised her head."Hey! River, wake up."He gently woke River while caressing her cheek. But no matter what he did, River still didn't open her eyes, so suddenly his eyes turned to River's body and l
River slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room where she was in."Where am I?"She asked herself weakly as she forced herself to get up and sit down. When someone suddenly opened the door, she instantly turned her gazed on there. Her and Spencer's eyes immediately met, so she quickly averted her eyes and then looked in another direction. She feels so much hatred and anger for him because she just abandoned her and adding to her anger is when Aliyah betrayed her former partner were she got harm by the man because they just look a like."R-river,"Spencer softly mentioned her name. But instead of looking back at the man, she didn't do it, instead her tears slowly fell. She didn't want to cry but she couldn't stop the rush of emotions."R-river! H-how are you? A–are you o--""Can you just leave!" River bravely commanded without looking at Spencer."B-""GET OUT!"She shouted with all her might while wiping her tears. Silence prevailed between the two of them for a few minutes, u
Spencer's POVI didn't talk to River for a few days because I was ashamed. I am ashamed of what I have revealed about my life. It's not my kind to express my feelings to other people, especially when it comes to my past. I was convinced with River's charm that's why I couldn't help but let out a grudge against her. She just stares at me like I'm hypnotized."Master Spynx. The Mendez event is tomorrow." I suddenly woke up hearing Troy's voice in front of me. "Tomorrow?""Yes Master Spynx. As far as I know, big businessmen from different countries will be attending and I'm sure your parents will be attending tomorrow as well." Troy said. I let out a deep breath then rested my elbow on my desk. "Tell River to get ready for tomorrow. I'll take her with me." "Noted. Master Spynx." Troy said with a bow.Troy left my office so quickly that I leaned back in my chair and thought again. 'How can I deal with my parents without losing my temper? I need to act casual in front of them, especiall
River's POVAfter we got to the mansion, Spencer continued drinking alcohol and no matter how much I tried to stop him, he didn't stop, so I just let him. I know he's still hurt by his past and I can't blame him if he's struggling to forget that. If you were the one who was abused by your own parents, won't you hold a grudge? Even me who was sold and left in the air by my family had a grudge against them. How about Spencer? That had suffered even worse. Then suddenly I feel guilty about my evil plans with Spencer."Oh River! What are you going to do?" I whispered to myself.Again, I remembered Spencer sob while we were on the yacht. It didn't sink into my mind that a ruthless and no sympathy man like Spencer could even cry. The saying is true, when you are hurt. Tears will be uncontrollable no matter how much you hold back. You will still cry one's heart out no matter how strong you are. I was about to take a nap when I suddenly heard a loud crash from the other room so I got up with
Spencer's POVWe were halfway to the sea so I decided to take a break while sipping the wine in my goblet. I looked at the silent image of River sitting on the side. She's really beautiful in any angle, so it's impossible not to like her. He captured someone like me who is hard to love because of my past relationship, how about other men?"F*ck!" I cussed in my mind."You look angry."I turned around at River's sudden comment so my fisted palm suddenly calmed down."N,, no." I said"Eh, why did your fist suddenly stiffen? What's on your mind?"I was slightly shocked by what River said to me. I didn't think she could ask me this. But I didn't feel annoyed or angry at her straightforward question. Perhaps for me it's better for her to be honest with me than to just keep quiet on the side."Nothing, something just occurred to me."I said. Of course I won't admit to what's in my brain. I also don't want her to think that my admiration for her is deep. "Okay." Her short reply.I felt my n
River's POVDuring my few stays at the mansion, I also found delightment that also came with responsibility because I was assigned by Spencer to manage his foundation. I don't really think that one Spencer Vilavide cares about the elderly and children who have been abandoned by their families and orphaned by their parents. I know Spencer has many flaws. That is not hidden from my knowledge because I have seen and know what he does behind the public eye. He has illegal businesses that you really don't want to be involved in because of this chaotic system, but on the other hand, he has more legal businesses to cover up his true personality. Everyone knows that he is ruthless and impatient, so many people are afraid to provoke him. So I really can't believe that he created a foundation that is open to everyone who needs help.Even though I was tired coming home from the mansion, it was worth it because I was able to serve many elderly and children at the foundation. Their smiles made me
Spencer's POVRiver was only in her room for three days and I couldn't even visit her because my cousin strictly forbade me. It's really annoying because I'm restricted to my own home."Can't I still see her!?" I asked Troy, annoyed with a clenched fist."I'll ask Ms. Lara. Boss Spynx." Troy said with a bow.Troy easily headed to River's room where Lara was also staying. Lara acted as a bodyguard for a few days in River's room to make sure I didn't get close to River. I feel like I have a contagious disease that could infect River. It was only a few minutes before Troy came in so I stood up quickly."What's up Troy!?" I asked impatiently."You can see Ms. Madrigal now, boss Spynx." Troy answered.I quickly passed Troy then easily headed to River's room. I don't know but I'm really excited to see River even though I haven't seen her for three days. When the door opened, Lara and River's eyes were immediately fixed on me. I didn't pay attention to Lara, instead it was River who I immedi
River's POVBecause of what happened last night with Spencer, I suddenly got sick. I don't know but he is really strong in bed where I get bruises and body aches. Sometimes I think he's like a monster every time he has sex with me. "Mommy are you okay?"Spawn suddenly asked openly. When he found out that I'm not feeling well, He immediately came to the mansion and asked me the same question."I'm fine sweetie no worries!" I answered with a smile. "Nanny Jane said you're not fine." He insists."It was an hour ago my son but now I'm fine after taking medicine." I answered with a smile to convince him that I'm fine.Spawn and I turned our heads when someone suddenly opened the door and Spencer's bulk was exposed to us. Spawn immediately smiled when he saw his father. "Good evening dad." Spawn greeted his father as he approached us."Good evening hijo. What are you doing here? Don't you still have school?" Spencer asked, glancing at Spawn and looking back at me."I came here when I hea
Spencer's POVI woke up when I felt River's soft hair on my cheek so I turned my eyes to him and slowly moved my body closer to her. I smell her neck and kiss her shoulder. River moaned softly and moved causing me to smile."She's still beautiful even when she's asleep." I whispered praising her then slowly got up and stood.Before I entered the bathroom, I glanced at the beautiful image of River lying face down on her bed. She was still fast asleep and obviously tired from what we did last night. I suddenly smirked when I remembered her moving above me. It was obvious that she was new to that experience so I didn't expect her to be good at it because I also really like her lack of awareness when it comes to such lewdness. I bit my lip as I entered the bathroom.After I showered, I left her room and went to my room with a towel. My maids saw me and greeted me good morning. I just nod and passed them. I know they were surprised when I came out of River's room but they probably don't ta
Before I start this chapter. I'm going to start using the first point of view and second point of view to make my writing easier. Thank you for understanding.—River's POVI always thought about Spencer's offer to marry him for a few days. I don't know if it's an offer or a proposal because it looks like a proposal, it's just that we're not lovers so it can't be called a proposal but an offer."Ugh! I really don't know what goes through Spencer's mind!" I whispered to myself. While I was under the shower, I suddenly thought then."What if I marry him? What will happen after that? Yeah! Let's say I'm already a Vilavide who is rich and powerful because of his last name I carry but on the other hand Spencer's behavior might get even worse and he will legally have me as his property."Possibilities ran through my mind while taking a shower until I finished taking it and was still thinking about Spencer's offer to me.What about my plans? I have to stick to my plan if I want freedom. But
Spencer gets annoyed every time River shows weakness in front of her ex and he doesn't want to see her woman considered special to his son, like a puppy in front of her betrayer."Troy!"He called his butler. Troy quickly approached and bowed to him."What is that Master Spynx?""What should I do with River so she can learn to deal with the people who hurt her?"He suddenly asked. Troy seemed surprised by his question so he didn't answer immediately and he noticed it."I know you are surprised by my question Troy! But I want you to answer me seriously."He commented with a frown. Troy hem then stood up straight."You better talk to Ms. Madrigal thoroughly Master Spynx."Troy answered. Spencer's frown deepened at his butler's answer."That's why I asked you Troy because I don't want to show any emotions to River. I don't want to see her looking miserable in front of me because of her stupid ex!" He snorted while taking a sip of his wine."But Master Spynx. That's the only way you can g
