River’s P.O.V

I 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

I gladly would have never interrupted this fine moment but you know the doorbell is ringing and you got mad last time I opened it without your permission. “Nate laughed awkwardly and I quickly pulled away from Ethan’s grip without taking a second to look at the expression on his face, walking towards the door.I opened the door looking at directly ahead but there was no sight of anyone so I decided to close the door and midway I heard a bark causing me to jump.I narrowed my gaze to find a golden retriever pup laying on our green doormat and before I knew it Nate was in front of me holding the dog.“Please, Mom can we keep it!!!!“Nate exclaimed petting the pup and I simply smiled.This was probably Ethan’s doing but I decided to act oblivious to the fact.Ever since I was little, I loved dogs but despised cats. I always felt like they had the devil hidden within them and found no reason what so ever to like them.“You know puppies are a lot of re

    #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

What are you doing here?” I continued to argue as he sat there staring at me.“No, I am the owner of the hotel and I will prove it to you, “he said slowly and I rolled my eyes. “What’s the name of our son-”“Wait what so you two uh mmmm.....Ethan Scott is the father of your child?“ Serenity asked with her eyes widening bigger than ever to this realization and I nodded.“ How come I never knew?”“When we became friends, Ethan was out of my life and I wish from now on I could see his face as little as possible but for some darn reason God is not making that possible,” I admitted shaking my head.“Well, you never told me the father o

"He beamed, causing my once unformed smile to return." You’re coming back, tonight, right? "He asked and I heard a bunch of loud rummaging before the bathroom door opened and with Ethan walking out in just a white towel around his waist revealing his muscular and toned chest.I was speechless for a good five minutes, as I tried to look the opposite direction so my heated checks won't reveal their selves.Wait what happened last night?I don't recall Ethan being in the same room

You remember that night we went to the bar and you left early I ah sort of got drunk and....."She trailed off moving her hands to explain and this time my eyes went up from shock."No, you didn't, did you, Vi, you slept with a complete stranger, for goodness’ sake how old are you?"

He furrowed his eyebrows walking through the door, and my eyes widened at what could possibly be his next move.I hastily walked out of the bathroom bracing myself at what could be next."Ethan no." I blurted as he was making his way to the table Ryan was sitting at.Ryan turned his head in our direction to see a raging Ethan with a balled-up fist and me shaking my head endlessly with widened eyes and he blinked shaking his head to assure me everything is fine."Ethan my friend long time, no see bud how are you doing?

You're not mine anymore and the only way I can make you mine again is to get rid of the problem." Tears found their way down her cheeks as she pointed the gun towards my heart.I closed my eyes from all the fear that consumed me and sooner than later a loud gun shot was heard but I didn't feel anything.

You wouldn't only be killing me. You would be killing my children." It came out as a beg but to be honest I didn't believe it would do me any good.

At the hospital they stitched up the wounds and did all the appropriate test to prove there is no brain damage or any damage in the body.
