"Don't, don't you dare lie. You don't miss me and you know it. So why the hell did you almost give me a heart attack. And it better be a good reason or else neither you nor mom will ever see me again, until your funeral.” River threatened with tears already spilling from her eyes."Watch your language young woman, you won't stand in my house and insult me. We called you because we found a suitor for you. He is a nice man, with a good upbringing and comes from a good home.” Her dad explained."You forgot to mention one, he is from a rich home, that's why you called me. To sell me off to some rich douchebag, I am done with you, I am done with mom and I am done trying to make this family work. Fuck you.” River scolded, dragging her suitcase along as she walked out of the house."River." Lola called out, attempting to stop her.Even her dad threatened to sever ties with her, but she ignored them all and dashed out of the house, dragging her suitcase along behind her.River found herself s

A loud slap echoed through the kitchen as Regina slapped River. "Don't you dare speak to your father in that manner.""Father, my father died the day he said that he wished I died in that fire instead of Jayden.” River stated before walking away.River sat on the queen-sized bed in her room when her mom walked in."We need to talk, okay?" Her mom began."There's nothing to talk about, Mom.” River replied tersely."Your dad tried, he really did. He attempted to warn Paul to back off, but he wouldn't listen. He also made efforts to search for Jayden, but he didn't do it publicly to avoid unnecessary attention. And as for Grandpa Dave's store, he tried to save it, but he was no match for the government.” Regina explained."That doesn't change the fact that he hates me.” River insisted."Let's cut the guy some slack, okay? We're not all perfect parents. He's desperately trying to make a change." Regina urged."By setting me up on a blind date with some rich momma's boy?" River retorted."

That was the last straw for River. She felt a surge of frustration and anger bubbling up inside her. She knew if she stayed a moment longer listening to this self-obsessed bastard, she'd explode.She banged her hands on the table, drawing everyone's attention, including Derek's stunned gaze. Without a word, she grabbed her purse and stormed out, dialing Aiden's number as she went.But there was no answer. Frustrated, she hailed a taxi and instructed the driver. "Willow Street." As the taxi pulled away, River couldn't stop feeling annoyed at how the evening had turned out.Once again, River found herself standing outside Aiden's Arcade. She knocked repeatedly, but there was no answer, her attempts to call him failed. Annoyed and upset, she sank to the ground, her legs folded beneath her as tears streamed down her face.Feeling utterly alone, she sobbed uncontrollably. Suddenly, she heard the roar of a motorbike as it came close, its headlights blinding her for a while. The bike came to

"I got a call from Derek a while ago. He said that you walked away halfway through dinner. Is that true?" her father asked."He was so insulting and uncaring, that's why.” River explained."You are so ungrateful, River. I took out a loan to send you to Harvard. I even put up my company as collateral. When I couldn't get the money to pay it back, I met some hooligans who helped. Now they are coming for the company. The only thing I asked of you was to try and make something work with Derek, so his family can help us sort out the loan. But no, River has to rebel over and over again.” Her father lamented."I had no idea, Dad. I'm sorry. I promise that I will make things work between Derek and me. Trust me.” She said, kneeling down in front of her dad.River stood in front of a gaming console in Aiden's Arcade, lost in thought. She couldn't shake off the weight of the promise she made to her dad."What's got you all worked up?" Aiden asked, handing her a cup of coffee."Thank you.” She sa

River entered the house to the sound of chatter emanating from the living room. Stepping in, she found her maternal uncle George seated with her parents."Uncle George, when did you arrive?" she inquired."A while ago. Your mom mentioned you were taking a stroll around the city. We should go together next time; it's been too long," George replied warmly."Sure. Um, Mom, I need to rest. I'm feeling tired," River said, signaling her intention to leave."You don't seem happy to see your uncle. How disrespectful," William interjected sharply, causing River to pause."Maybe because I don't miss him," River retorted. "Uncle George called me every single day for the past fifteen years while I was in England. He never missed a day, no matter how busy he was. He always celebrated Christmas with me. So, I guess that's why I don't look ecstatic." With that, she turned and ascended the stairs to her room."River!" Regina called out, starting to follow her daughter, but she was intercepted by her
