#Chapter26River’s P.O.V“Andrew. “I croaked, standing up. “What the hell are you doing here. “I shook my head, nearly kicking him out that instant.“I just came for a visit. “He smiled, narrowing his gaze at me and that feeling of slapping him right across the face was implanted deep in my veins.Did he have amnesia?“I really do not have the time or the energy for you, “I said, walking quickly towards the door.“Just hear me out please. “He groaned, trying to capture my hands but I backed away. I slammed the door closed because I knew this conversation was not going to end in peace. My nerves were stiffening every minute this man was in the same area as me.“Look I do not want you to hear and if you know any better you would leave me alone before I begin to curse you out. “I hissed, my fist tightening.“I want to talk over tea please what I have to say is very important it concerns Ethan. “He gazes my direction and hearing his name makes my heart sink and tear to shreds.

#Chapter27River’s P.O.V“Are you frickin serious, “I yelled with anger crossing every inch of my body. “You excuse me for some shit I did not do and then 5 years later you come back-”“Well. “He interrupted as I rolled my eyes, I pushed him back then walked out of the bathroom. I was not going to tolerate him for any longer. I was aggravated and I felt I was going to slap him.I was glad I contained enough willpower to stay away from him and hopefully it was going to stay that way I did not want him getting anywhere near Nate without any intention of good.I took a glance at the clock.11:00 Damn I was already starving.I walked back to the table but Andrew was on the phone once he saw me, he stuck his index finger up to ensure I would not leave.He then closed the phone and took a glance at me, “ I’m so sorry I have to leave my daughter is sick.“ He apologized, standing up and my eyes grew wide in shock.“You have a daughter? “I questioned noticing the worry in his eyes.“Y
#Chapter28Diana’s P.O.VSeeing River at the restaurant made my nerves pop I felt I was going to go jump her and surely, I was. Emma followed her the minute she left out and I found out this is her location.I know she did not live here but I was going to drag her to hell in front of everyone she knew. She needed to stay away from Ethan or this time I will kill her and not depend on someone else to do it.If it was not for Mateo and his loyalty to pregnant women, I would have been finished with her. I would have been done with her.Every time I generate that fact it makes me want to kill them both.“We need to talk. “I roared and River jumped turning my way.“What the hell do you want. Have you not had enough? “She yelled, standing up.“No, I will not have enough until you get the hell out of Ethan’s life, “I exclaimed, pushing her shoulder and she gave me the glare of death.I always knew she had the devil hidden in her.“Get. your. hands. off. of. me. and I did not go any

#Chapter30River’s P.O.VI took a glance at the look of despair in Nate’s eyes and my heart shattered into pieces. I couldn’t bear to see him like this.“Oh, honey, who told you that? “I said, hugging him close to my chest.“I figured since I have never seen him before. “He looked up trying to hide his precious face.“Yes baby, of course, you have a father. Though he appeared to be stone-hearted he was one of the kindest men I have ever encountered .“I explained smiling as he laid on my lap and a tear managed to escape my eye.“Can you tell me more about him, mommy? “He asked, looking up at my face and I nodded as tears continued to fall like a never-ending water.“He had jet black hair that was as soft as a pillow and glimmering ocean blue eyes that lowered you in every time you took a glance at them. His smile would charm everyone in sight and his laugh was so rare you wanted him to laugh forever and always. He was tall and was a very hard worker. I remembered him spending hou
#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
#Chapter32Ethan’s P.O.VI walked into the living room to find everyone clustered together on the sofas, including Diana.Oh boy.I had a feeling something is up but I could not put my finger on it, they were all silent, including my mother she of all people was never silent, like ever.“Who’s going to start because I have a meeting at 4:00 with our new hotel and restaurant manager? “I finally explained, ready to get the hell out of that place. I would assume somebody just died, but I counted they were all there.About four years ago I had the idea to start building hotels, and restaurants so our wine would be more popular on the market and our fortune would grow.My father cleared his throat than finally said, “Ethan......um we heard you saw River today. “I rolled my eyes at this remark, they literally brought me here to discuss who I can see and who I can’t.“Mason did I not tell you to take it slow. “My mother whispered loud enough for me to hear and my father glared at her
#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
