View MoreRiver's POVI sat down in the litigation bar watching the exceptional young girl in the witness box being questioned by Mr Brown. She had just turned eighteen and wanted full custody of my little sister from her aunt the legal guardian who was neglecting them.Mr Brown asked all the right questions and the judge was obviously leaning towards their side of the case. As it was a family matter, the judge announced that he will deliver his verdict in an hour as he doesn't like to delay family cases of custody.The court went in recess, I turned to look at the supposed aunt of the two lovely girls who obviously just wanted them so she could keep gaining access the massive trust fund her late sister left for her daughters.The woman had an aura around her that made you want to gag, with her heavy silver eyeshadow and shocking pink lipstick. She wore a white pant suit that fit her like a glove, the blazer buttons looked like they were about to burst at anytime.Her hair looked like a millio
River's POVBaron met me half way, “Good morning miss River, hope you had a wonderful night.” I nodded in response.He took my briefcase and led me out of the building. I'm not shy or anything but I was grateful to be far from the incessant stares of the people in the lobby.He led me up to a car we hadn't used before, the car was a royal blue limo and even the interior was a beautiful almost white pastel blue color. He opened the door for me and I slipped in, him after me.I sat down sinking into the soft leather and to my surprise Baron handed me a mini tray of the breakfast I was offered just some minutes ago. Damn they really worked fast didn't they? I thought to myself.“Thank you.” I muttered which he nodded to and I focused on devouring the meal. Thoughtfully I noticed I hadn't yet offered Baron I looked up to see him looking at me with a odd look of pity but disdain.He immediately adjusted his facial expression and looked away and it was all I could do to keep myself from aski
Chapter 12Rivers Pov I woke up with a banging headache, the sunlight from day break spilled through the cracks of the window blinds. Eyes still closed cause they felt too damn heavy for me to open,I lesurely streched like a cat my muscles grateful for the release as they were deliciously sore.I tried to feel the space beside me hoping to come in could contact with Dante's body and enjoy his warmth but all I felt was the cool empty space of nothingness.My heart skipped a beat and I popped my eyes open too fast making me feel like my head was slightly spinning. True to what I had felt the bed was empty and cold letting me know Dante had got up from bed a while ago.A frown creased my brow, what the heck? But still the voice of reason in my head utterly stopped me from flying into the wild impossiblity that once more Dante Williams had just used me.I dragged the comforter up to my chest feeling slightly digust for my need for his approval and emotions. I shook my head vigourously, “
Chapter 11I swallowed the knot forming in my throat and walked to Dante who was casually leaning on his latest model of Gwagon Mercedes Benz. The man certainly had a thing of dark vehicles.He watched me like a predator watching his prey, not blinking, his sight not wavering. He wore a navy blue stripped suit and a crisp white shirt which the top bottons had been undone.I didn't need to come to close to know the shoes he wore were from Armani, now barely three feet away from him. I caught a whiff of his delicious manly woodly scent, I had to stop myself from inhaling deeply.He surprised me by abruptly straightening and catching me by my waist with an arms, the intensity of his stare almost made me look away but I didn't want to appear weak so maintained our locked gaze.“You look ravishing.” He said it without missing a beat and it filled me with a sense of power knowing he thought that. I don't know maybe it was the champagne from the shopping earlier or just this intoxicating man
Chapter 10RiverAs I walked to the my office, now in the elevator I couldn't help but wonder at if maybe rumors had started flying about myself and Dante. sincerely I didn't give two hoots if rumours had started circulating I was here to win back my honor and pride and get the hell out of this office.The elevator dinged and I got out, I mean why should I give a shit about people who wanted to be in my position after all. Most of the women here were probably only working here in hopes Dante would in as much as bat an eyelash their way.I know I sound cocky, but why shouldn't I. No one here knows how hard I worked to put my ass together and be noticed by the high and mighty. If they knew my story they'll be applauding me not hating.I pushed open my office door to see Baron seated on the visitors chair with a scowl on his face, I know he had probably been waiting a long time for me. He raised his head when he saw me, “Welcome miss, can we leave now we're quiet behind schedule.”I look
Chapter 9River's POVAs I strolled back from the cafe, for like half a second I felt for a few seconds eyes watching me. I turned and looked around but the feeling disappeared as quickly as it came. I didn't have to wonder who it was; it could probably be Dante or someone he sent.I walked briskly with my pastries and coffee; entering the building, I could still see the secretary give me some type of stupid weird eye. And honestly, I'd about had it. I walked straight up to her desk and put on my icy sweet smile."Excuse me, I think we started on the wrong foot today. I'm River." I even extended my hand out to the b**tch. She eyes my hand like I'm some vermin and gives a tight smile, her red lipstick creasing."Oh, I know you, Rive,r, and the fact you don't remember me makes it all the way worse. It's almost like you're mocking me."I arched an eyebrow in confusion and took a deeper look at her. Her face looked familiar to someone I used to know back, like way back."Could you possibl
Chapter 8 Rivers POVI walked out of his office and he didn't even bother trying to stop me. The man is insufferable and if not for the stupid attraction and need to pamper my ego. I would have tendered in my resignation because who the hell does he think he is?I took the elevator, hoping I could still locate my office, which I did. Luckily, getting inside, I let curiosity get the best of me, and I took out my phone and logged into my social media app.Weirdly since the last video went up of Dante and me in the court, I've acquired double-time my followers, and my engagements have been crazy. I might as well turn into an influencer or something.I typed up the name Angelica and then tapped the first name with a blue tick; I didn't even have to wonder if I was on the right page or not. It was her, to be honest, the woman is absolutely and completely stunning.She has jet-dark hair, sea-green eyes, beautiful model features, and a great toned body. I could see how she could leave a man
Chapter 7Dante’s POVI knew as soon as my mother left, River wouldn’t pass the opportunity to question me who Angelica was, especially since my mother made it seem like she almost ruined my life.Technically, it’s not a lie, but honestly, I’m in a much better place than ever. The last thing I needed to do was reminisce on my high school sweetheart, whom I dated all through and even after college.“An old acquaintance of mine.”She rolled her eyes at me, “some acquaintance indeed.” She muttered under her breath. I took a deep breath trying to gather my cool. “Drop it, okay? I don’t want to talk about it, especially not right now., I have work to do at the moment and would like to be excused .”I pushed my chair forward and opened my laptop. River had an upset look now, “Well if you’ll excuse me, sir, I’ll just be going back to my office, which I’d still be at if you hadn’t called me from.”I know I should say something to stop her or something. But I know all too well how women can a
River's POV (6)The next thing I knew, my back was against the wall; I tried desperately to slow down my breathing. I know I must sound like the engine of a locomotive train. He put his right hand above me on the wall and leaned into me so closely I could smell his aftershave.I’m not some silly schoolgirl, but honestly, I couldn't stand to look him in the eye, so I brought my eyes lower. I heard him chuckle slightly. “Could the wonder girl Miss Grey possibly be? shy.”I don’t know why this man’s words had the power to infuriate me so quickly; I immediately brought my eyes up to him, giving him a blank, expressionless look.“Let me know when the man I should probably be shy of walks into this room. It can’t be the man standing before me.”He only gave a side smirk in response, obviously unfazed at my words. He tilted my chin towards him, and I could almost feel myself pool my panties due to that singular action.“I know you want me, you don’t have to be shy about it. I’m sure you kno
