Chapter 55
Chapter 55
River's POV
I was trying my best not to act on my weakness but my body wasn't helping one bit.
It was aching for his heart warming touch.So kissing him back is what came naturally.I felt I had no
control over it even though my mind was telling me your going to regret this after wards.
As if he was reading my mind he pulled away placing his head on my forehead.
"River I really am sorry."
I wanted to believe him so badly but my mind was saying he will hurt you again.
I don't know if I could take another heartbreak.
"Why?"I asked and he tried to avoid eye contact.
"First off I don't love her. So the marriage would be a night mare and she lied to me Avery isn't my
daughter she's Ryan's but I'm still set on taking full custody.That is of course if Ryan doesn't want to
take her.I will visit her occasionally and hopefully she could stay with me at the end of the week."It was
my turn to avoid eye contact because I knew Avery was Ryan's daughter.I would have told him if he
hadn't left this morning the way he did.
"Yeah I found out last night Ryan was sort of drunk and everything sort of spilled."I took a deep breath
because I knew what I was about to say would give me the argument of my life at least it did with
Ryan."As much as Diana is a bitch I think it's a bad idea to take Avery away from her.Every child needs
there mother and especially girls because men well they don't explain well when it comes to
puberty.Besides I believe the only reason Diana is still sane is because of Avery."
We sat on the chairs closet to where Nate was playing as he said,"After all she put you through your
still taking her side."He took a deep breath and the continued."You know after I left your house this
morning I caught a women goes by the name Emma watching your every move.She spilled everything
by just a couple of bucks extra then Diana pays.Diana is the one who gave you poison so she could get
rid of Nate.She could have killed you River."I honestly did not know what to say.The information wasn't
really shocking to me. I guess deep down I sort of kind of suspected it was her but never really wanted
to admit it to myself or better yet believe it was a true statement.
"Honestly I'm not surprised if that's what you were expecting, disappointed yeah because I thought that
deep down she could be a better person."I murmured, staring directly at the ocean view. It really was
magnificent.
"Ok did you know she had a negotiation with Andrew?"
Ethan's POV (The Morning after Nathans Birthday)
"Whats your number?"I asked staring directly at the brunette in disgust she was aggravating me to the
limit.
"Excuse me?"I huffed a breathe while rolling my eyes. She was aggravating me to the limit.
I was this close to throwing her into the polices office,"Don't play dumb with me! How much money do
you want to spill the information your keeping and better yet who's your boss?"
"The information is-"
Alright that was it. I was done I was pulling the card.
"You spill the information or I throw you in the polices office.Two hundred, Three hundred thousand a
million what do you want?"Her eyes widened and I could see her visibly gulp.
"Two million dollars and all my information will be yours."I smirked because we were finally getting to
an agreement.
I quickly wrote the check and handed it to her.
"I go by the name of Emma. I work for Diana your ex-wife. The day you showed her your new home
Diana told me to inform River about her pregnancy but she told me that quote on quote I should say," I
came on my own." Diana was the one who broke you and River up before your wedding by sending
fake DNA results and pictures of River and Andrew to you."I felt my head explode how the hell could
one person be so cruel and manipulative and the worst part we used to be married."That's not it she
manipulated Jeanine into threatening you to leave River."I rapidly squinted my eyes shut everything I
just heard was giving me a headache.I couldn't take it anymore.
It was just unreal.
I had to confront her and right away.
I sighed dismissing Emma with a hand gesture."You can leave."I said, with a hint of an attitude.
I wasted no time and grabbed my suit jacket heading directly towards my car and to the family
mansion.
The first place I checked was Avery's room but she wasn't there. When I heard footsteps I hid behind
the dresser and Diana entered trying to hide a cd. I had feeling the cd was important so the minute she
left I snatched it.Directly heading towards the nearest DVD I placed it in there.
What I saw wasn't pleasant it caused my blood to boil and I was so close to punching the walls.
It was Andrew and Diana making a whole damn negotiation.
When the fuck was I going to be done with Diana's games.
At that moment I felt the best thing to do was keep Diana away from River and Nate. It was the best
solution even though I contained no affection towards her what so ever.
It was a decision on impulse and I knew I would regret it greatly.
When I heard heavy breathing behind me I quickly turned to see a worried Diana standing before me.
I had to do this even if I knew I would be miserable.
River's POV(Present Day)
After Ethan was finished explaining everything I couldn't help but get angry at the beginning of course
but then the hormones took over and I was a crying wreck.
So much for holding my feelings in and not crying in front of him.
At impulse, Ethan engulfed me in a hug and I placed my head onto his head and began to sob.
Why of all people was this happening to me?
Did I do something wrong?
"It's alright River I'm here for you I promise even if death itself came knocking on my door I will be there
for you."My eyes quickly widened and I backed away from him.
"Why are you talking like that.Please don't talk like that you idiot.I'm going to kill you.I hate you. What is
wrong with you?I'm starving.Ethan your kids are hungry."He chuckled at my ramble and I hit him on his
rock hard shoulder.
Damn what was in that thing?
Had he been working out because he suddenly became more buff than before.
He kneeled down towards my stomach,"Ok are you sure it's my kids or is it their beautiful mommy?"He Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
placed his ear as if the babies would reply.
I quickly gave a stern look,"No it's the babies."I replied, rolling my eyes and he furrowed his eyebrows.
"They say it's their mommy and that you're just using them as an excuse."He cackled and I was nearly
going to slap him across his sexy jawline but then an idea struck and I decided to play along.
I nodded my head,"Ask them again because last time I checked it was them not me."He looked up at
me then placed his ear back on my stomach.
"They said ok they will do whatever satisfies there mommy."I rolled my eyes and giggled shaking my
head.
"I want a whole large box of veggie pizza, a whole bowl of shrimp fettuccine, french fries and a
salad."Ethan looked at me like I grew a second head and I shrugged my shoulders smiling.
"Not that I'm indicating anything but you never ate this much when you were pregnant with Nate." I, of
course, looked at him like he was an idiot because at the moment he was.
"Ethan I'm eating for three and your the father of these children. If you don't get me food I will be like a
grasshopper and let nature take its course."He gave me a stern look before nodding his head and I, of
course, smiled because I was getting what I want.
"I want to show you something and then I will make the food while you look at the house how about
that? It will be our first family dinner in the house."I was shocked to hear him say that specific sentence.
I never thought Ethan Scott could get behind a counter and physically cook a complex meal In my eyes
I thought it was impossible. I mean yeah he cooked breakfast but thats easy
I snorted,"You can cook?"He gave his signature arrogant smirk and nodded.
"You'd be surprised at what these hands can do."He wiggled his eyebrows extending the smirk more
and automatically I knew what he was indicating so I straightened my blouse.His hot breath was now
on me as he whispered seductively,"Why did you do that? I like the view of your breast from here but I
love it even better when they're in my-"I quickly cleared my throat and stood up.
"Down boy! Its not time for play." He chuckled, standing up."I'm hungry.Go, go make me food!" I
demanded and then called for Nate." Come on Nate don't you want to see your new room?"
"Is this where we're going to live?" He asked and I didn't know what to reply.
"It's your Dad's new home.You will live with him."I said that and that triggered Ethan's death glare as
we went into the house.
Everything was so beautifully designed and carefully detailed from the elm wood on the floor to the
handly crafted fireplace with book shelves.
The kitchen had granite counters and granite tiled floors.It had a double oven with a huge dining area
near by.
Once we made it upstairs Ethan opened a door and I was astonished at what I saw.
"This Fashion Office is so you won't miss out on work when you have to take maternity leave for the
babies or when you feel out of your mind board or when you want to work at home. Everything you
need from fabric to colored pencils is here. All your business contacts and other files are programed in
the computer. The phone can be connected to the office. You even have an ocean view.It would be like
you never missed out."He scratched the back of his neck and without doing much thinking I hugged
him.
This was the greatest present anyone has gave to me.
"Thank you I really do love it."He gave a genuine smile before nodding his head.
We walked out and entered another room.
"Nathan my son this is your room.I knew you liked cars so I designed alighting Mcqueen just for you
and when your older we can give you an ocean view room because I doubt your mother would approve
of it now."I rolled my eyes because it was true. I was a pessimistic soul."You have your own computer
and an IPad, over here."He said, pointing towards the desk.
"Thanks Dad."Nathan beamed hugging his father and Ethan looked as if he were the happiest man on
Earth.
Ethan went down stairs to get the food ready while we toured the rest of the house.
After about an hour later he called us we ate, then we watched a Cars Two but Nate fell asleep halfway
through the movie so Ethan carried him upstairs. We kissed him goodnight and made our way down
stairs.
Ethan cleared his throat squinting his eyes shut,"I don't want to fight anymore River. I want us to be
together.To grow old together."
