I smiled even though she was being a complete bitch by clearly lying."You don't understand I need to see him please. "I asserted, raking a hand through my wavy brown hair and this time she did not bother to glance at me as the phone rang and she was quick to answer.She was whispering so I barely heard but I definitely heard the phrase quote on quote," Yes Mr. Price."That little ohhh I just want to choke her but you know I'm restraining my myself so the father of my child doesn't think I'm a psycho and then decide to take away my child.So, I took a deep breath."I need to see him," I demanded loudly while glaring directly into her raging eyes.She acted as if I was going to snatch the man right from under her arms."But sir she doesn't have an-"I'm guessing she was cut off. "You can go in. " She said, putting down the phone then smacking her lips.I opened the
#Chapter46River's P.O.VFor some reason when you’re in the arms of a loved one you want everything to stop there or for everything to slow down even if it's just for a minute or a millisecond.Time makes us older, more mature, wrinkly, unbearable and it even causes death so why not live by the moment.Having death in our mindset makes us take risks, make rash decisions or even reevaluate our lives.Being in the arms of Ethan and having Nate laying there next to me makes me want to protect what we have for the life of me.A knock on the door pulls me from my trance of thoughts and has me standing up on my bed just to get by the two that are very attached to the bed.I walk to the entrance of the house and swing the door open to my surprise find my mother and Aiden standing there."Mom you could have called and told me you were coming. "I forced a smile trying to be as polite as possible but then again trying to get her out of my house so she wouldn't see Ethan. "I wanted to see
#Chapter47River's P.O.VI took a glance at Violet across the dining room table but luckily, she didn't notice. Every time I would look up, she had her phone on with a childish grin plastered across her face and an occasional laugh.She was hiding something I knew that for sure how I was going to get it out of her well that was the tricky part and it did not just begin today it’s been occurring for the last century. Which was annoying me she barely talked to me anymore."Vi, um who are you sexting?" She frowned and her eyes narrowed from the phone and in my direction."You’re so lucky the kids are not in the room at this very moment or I would have beat you to a pulp." She pretended to be angry but I could see the smirk hidden under that expression."Oh, I'm so scared what could you possibly do in your condition? "I lightly chuckled and she gaped in shock."You did not just insult me!"I snorted, " News flash baby I just did!""He's coming. "She simpered, winking and then taki
#Chapter48River's P.O.VAndrew glared at Michael’s face, “Say that one more time and I will beat you to pulp." Michael turned towards Andrew furrowing his eye brows."And who the fuck are you to tell me what to say?" Michael grimaced, making Andrew's jaw thrust violently as he took a step closer to Michael.Violet quickly rushed to Andrews side placing a hand on his chest causing his muscles to relax," Um he's the father of my child." She confidently says gazing at Andrew star struck."Oh, wait what you two timing whore you mean to tell me while you were with me you were with doing him." He stopped to glare at Violet and then continued." My mother knew who you were from the beginning. She knew you were a gold digger and its clear to me you’re after the money." He cackled like he just won the lottery or just figured out the murder to a closed case.A tear stroked Violets cheek along with many more until Andrew finally stole the words right from under my tongue," Watch your mouth
#Chapter49River's P.O.VWaking up to the sun shining on your eye lids while your eyes are puffy red from crying is one of the worst feelings to experience because your eyes begin to sting and that just gives you another reason to cry but I wasn't going to cry for my son's sake."Mommy, mommy are you awake." Nate yelled, knocking on the door vociferously and I quickly ran to my bathroom to apply makeup under my eyes but he entered when I was in the middle of applying the makeup.He gazed directly at the ground and then back at me "I know you were crying mommy you don't have to hide it."As much as I wanted to admit it, I couldn't let him know especially on his birthday" What no I wasn't." I smiled warmly kneeling to pinch his cheeks lightly."I heard you yesterday." He mumbled stroking my cheek and I shook my head.I couldn't ruin his day so I changed the subject."Happy birthday my handsome man." I beamed and he chuckled pointing his finger."Thank you but don't think I forgo
#Chapter50Ethan's P.O.VI woke up with my head pounding intensely and the memory of what happened last night comes flooding back in. So, I quickly check my surroundings and find River lying next to me sound asleep.Oh shit!What the hell did I do?I tried my best to stay away and then in one night I ruin everything.I had to leave before she woke up and hopefully Jeanine doesn't see me.(The Morning Before I Broke Up with River)Entering my office, I saw Jeanine sitting on the arm chair in front of my desk of course I did not suspect a thing but then again, I didn't have the time to argue with her over the littlest of things."Jeanne what a pleasant surprise." Not, I really did not want to see her because I knew she was going to discuss my relationship with River and I was not going to allow her mess up something I spent months rebuilding."It’s never pleasant to see you Ethan nor will it ever be it's actually a disgrace." She grimaced forcing a smile and I no joke was g

" How could you be so stupid and make a deal like this did you think I would love you again because that's never going to happen my heart belongs to River Diana that's never going to change. "He stepped closer to me while gritting on his teeth.His veins were revealed as he balled his fist."Ethan this was five years ago I...I..... um was-""Save it Diana if it's me you want then you’re gonna get but you leave River and my son alone do you understand me!" He growled in a beastly tone and I nodded my head in fear of his next move." We will get Engaged tonight."

#Chapter52Ethan's P.O.VSeeing River faint made me act on my weaknesses to her.I was concerned and I had to see her for more than one purpose but then again, I had to protect her from Diana and sadly her own Mother.For some reason at that moment, I could care less I wanted to see her even though I would leave hundreds of people wondering all for one person but it was worth it because that person was the love of my life.I was standing outside the hospital door and after having an internal battle with myself I decided to go in.After I was directed to her room by mid aged women, I stopped by her room number and the door was slightly open as the doctor was talking to her."After I questioned you, I did a blood test to make sure my suspicions were correct and it turns out you are pregnant congratulations. “He beamed and she did not look happy her eyes were roaming everywhere but the doctors face.I was, in fact, speechless this was the last thing at the moment I could ever thin
