Chapter 31


    River’s POV


    I took a nce 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 exined smiling as heid on myp 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 ck hair that was as soft as a pillow and glimmering ocean blue eyes that lowered you in


    every time you took a nce at them.His smile would charm everyone in sight and hisugh was so


    rare you wanted him tough forever and always. He was tall and was a very hard worker. I


    remembered him spending hours up at night working on blueprints.He always...“I wiped my tears and a


    took a nce at a snoring Nate which made me smile as I yed with his jet ck hair I rested my


    head on the pillow soon falling asleep at thoughts of Ethan.


    **********


    I awoke to my phone ringing with my eyes still shut I extended my arm to grab it and held the phone


    towards my face, squinting my eyes I nced at the caller ID which was Mia, then swiped to answer


    the call.


    “Hey, Mia whats up?“I asked, getting out of bed slowly so I wouldn’t wake Nathan than I ced a kiss


    on his head while inhaling the smell of the Johnson and Johnson shampoo on his dark brown hair.


    “Um yeah there’s this very rich and attractive man looking for you but he will not tell me his name.“She


    eximed, stuttering as I rolled my eyes. What attractive man could be looking for me?


    “What does he look like?“I asked, putting her on speaker so I could start my morning routine.


    “Tall, muscr structure,boat ck hair hair.....“She said, and my heart copsed.Please don’t let it be


    him, please don’t let it be him.” and he has blue eyes.“She eximed, causing me to practically choke


    and my legs tremble.


    “It’s Ethan.“I sighed, pressing my palms against the bathroom counter.


    “Assssssss.... an th.....e Ethan Scott.“She whispers squealed, trying to catch her breath.


    “Yes yes I will be there in under thirty minutes,“I replied, shaking my head.


    “Ooh, no wonder Ariana practically shed her titties.“She chuckled and I could not help but grin.


    “Ok Bye Mia,“I muttered, closing the phone.I was not going to rush myself for him so I took a shower


    and allowed the warm water to pour ndly on my tall frame as I thought of all the possible ways the


    conversation can go and to my disappointment failure was the only oue.


    After twenty minutes I walked out of the shower and walked towards my closet put on a strapless red


    chic pencil knee length dress that revealed 2 cm of my breast line through the v-neck, and ck


    pumps.


    I grabbed my ck Dolce clutch, reapplied my red lipstick than walked towards the kitchen to grab a


    piece of toast and James was sitting at the counter scrolling through his phone.


    “Good morning River.“He said, looking up at his phone as I took a few sips of coffee.


    “Good morning James, Nate is still asleep in my room and you know I will be outte today since the


    fashion show ends at 5:00 so could you bring by Nate at anytime around......“I took out my phone out to


    nce at the time


    11:25 am


    “12:30 would be great and after that, you could have the whole day off.“I beamed and he smiled


    shaking his head.


    “Alrighty, the fashion show is taking ce at the studio?“He questioned, rocking his hand from left to


    right.”

    “Yeah, Matteo said it was thest time taking ce in the studio,“I exined, walking towards the door


    and then I ced my phone back into my clutch.


    “Ok.“He said, as I walked through the garage door and then to my car.


    ******


    I stepped out of the elevator and Mia was the first thing in sight, smiling like a Serail killer and her hair


    was a jumbled mess.


    " Why did you take so long?“She asked, her eyes brighter than the sun.


    “Why whats wrong?“I asked walking down the hallway.


    “Don’t you know you never. ever. like ever. leave a hot ass drop-dead gorgeous man at thepany


    because I grantee you all the woman plus Carl have practically broken the elevator trying to get a


    glimpse of him.Thus, our reproductive organs are mentally on fire.“Mia exined in a serious tone as I


    cackled and mentally rolled my eyes.


    Great, I am ten times more nervous than I actually was.


    “Get used to it we are not getting rid of him anytime soon.“Her eyes lit up as I took a deep breathe, as I


    felt my facade slip on.


    I did not want him to realize he could move my emotions in any way and finally, I walked into my office.


    Ethan was sitting on the single sofa with his legs crossed, right over left. He was wearing a ck


    pantsuit, unbuttoned revealing his white blouse and a ck tie. His dark hair was cut intoyers and


    situated upwards with a thinyer of gel.


    His gaze was brought to me when the door mmed, as my heart was beating rapidly, I closed my


    eyes for a second, exhaled another deep breath and walked up a little closer to him.


    My gaze was brought to the ground than back at him as I cleared my throat.


    “May I help you Mr.Scott ?“I asked, this time ring at him this and he ran a hand around his jawline,


    standing up.


    “What were you doing at the restaurant with Andrew?“He asked, giving me a tense look while furrowing


    his eyebrows and I simply rubbed my neck, brought my attention to my desk, then back at him.


    Who the hell did he think he was? Questioning me and my actions.He needed a sense of reality and


    quick becausest time I checked he dumped me at the alter eight months pregnant, it was not the


    other way around.


    “May you remind me again because I totally forgot who the hell you are?“I motioned my hands in the air


    and he rolled his eyes taking a breathe along with it.


    “Oh, I see your beating around the bush so you won’t answer my question than it was true the boy was


    Andrew’s bastard child.“He blissfully smiled and I felt like tearing up he did not only hurt me but Nate


    along with me.


    He did not even realize the pain he caused Nate.


    " How dare you call my son a bastard.I will not allow it. I will not allow you to skip through my office to


    talk trash about my son.“I hissed, throwing my clutch on the desk. He aggravated me with that


    sentence and here I was thinking we could have a conversation with two adults.


    “Come on stop acting innocent now, then what were you doing with Andrew?” He intensely red my


    way as I tried toe up with something.


    “He has a daughter and I was giving him advice because she is ill,” I exined, entercing my hands.


    Even though I had no idea why I was exining to a man of such ignorance.


    “And you ept me to buy that, to buy the fact you are not a gold digging whore who lied about


    carrying my child and-”


    “Stop. right. there.If you continue any further security will drag your ass out of mypany and I


    grantee you would be all over the media the next hour.Try my patience Ethan. I dare you.“I warned with


    my eyes containing scorching fires, making his eyes widen.
