Chapter 42
River''s POV
I awoke with the sun shining brightly on my face and for some stupid reason there was an idiotic smile
stered on my face, that, of course, was before I saw a bunch of missed calls on my phone mostly
from thepany, and three from Nate.
I called Nate first and he picked up quickly, surprisingly.
"Hello baby is everything alright," I asked with a concerned tone and I could hear him release a breath
of frustration.
"Yeah Mom everything is good I just wanted to check up on you."He beamed, causing my once
unformed smile to return."Youring 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 muscr 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 happenedst night?
I don''t recall Ethan being in the same room as me.
I shook my head and looked to the side of the bed.
Damn it''s a mess, his phone was on the nightstand and so was his wallet.
Oh crap!
"Hello, mommy...."
"Ahhh yeah yeah hun I will call you backter."I blurted out then closed the phone, mentally taunting
my self.
"Morning."He cackled, giving me that same glimmering look as I rolled my eyes.

"Did um did anything happenst night?" I asked, quickly uncovering my self and praying to be fully
clothed but I was just in a baggy t-shirt and shorts, no bra.
Oh, crap theres still a possibility.
"Yeah we had mind-blowing sexst night.... more like until the sun came up but damn I didn''t know
you were that wild in bed."He snickered and my eyes grew wide as my cheeks heated up.
No way, it is not possible.
"What?"I practically choked, saying that one word.
"Would you like me to go over every intimate detail or would you like to relive the moment."He winked,
and I could see a smirk beginning to stitch to his face.
"Your a lier Ethan." I snorted and he chuckled stepping closer to sit on the bed.
"Ok fine you caught me we didn''t have sex.....we just drunk a lot of alcohol."He added with a smug look
on his face.
"Ok, then why did you sleep in the same bed as me?" I interrogated and he rolled his eyes, sighing.
"One you wanted me here, two theres only onefortable bed, and three I didn''t have the strength to
pull out the bed couch so if you were sober I would have slept on the rock like coach would you want
that?" He simpered and without even thinking I threw a pillow his direction.
"Yes, actually that would bring joy to me." I smiled mischievously furrowing my eyebrow and he shook
his head.
"Get dressed we have a meeting in like thirty minutes and you never know if yourte I might cancel
again."He exined walking towards his rack of suits."What are you waiting for or would you like me to
strip in front of you after all it''s nothing you haven''t seen."He chuckled and I rolled my eyes for the
thousandth time today.
"Its nothing I''m proud to see." I lied chuckling and he snorted.
"What are you saying?"He grimaced and it was my turn to smirk.
"I''m saying your friend there should subside your ego, should it not?"I gushed and I could see a
pestered look begin to form on his face.
"You think your funny huh?"He huffed and I nodded chuckling."I''m sure five years helped you forget but
if you''d like I can restore your memory for you."He effused and I red at him walking towards the
bathroom.
"No thanks, I''ll skip,"I exined, raising my hand up as I walked towards the bathroom.
"Trust me you will be missing out on a lot."He beamed, chuckling and I snorted.

"All right now the deal is closed and we made a contract that can''t be broken...." I trailed off, in
annoyance"How could you, you dragged this agreement for over a year-" I began to exin but he cut
me off as we exited the ne.
"Well, I had my purposes."He said, straightening his tie as I sat closer to him taking the grip of the tie
into my own hands while smirking.
"Oh, and what are your those purposes."I dared gritting on my teeth as I tightened his tie some more.
Hopefully, I will keep doing so until he suffocates.
"First of all, in the beginning, I didn''t know you were a partner in the MK corporation, I found out a week
after the appointment was scheduled and when I did I kept rescheduling the appointment because I
simply wasn''t ready to see you again-"
"So hold up you made me wait about a year because Mr. Sensitive was afraid to getting all emotional
with his ex,"I argued as he huffed a breath of annoyance while rolling his eyes.
"Were back to page one River, your not my ex-"
"Oh yeah, I am."
"But we have a son."
"So you have a daughter with Diana does that indicate once you have fed up with me you will dump me
for my sister."
"Wait what you have a sister?"He gasped, staring in my direction as I rolled my eyes.
God, he''s sote
"No Ethan Im a crazy person who has a brickying on a cab that and I call it my sister.....send me
to the looney tunes."I hissed and he red at me, while I dly returned the look.
" Who is she?"He questioned and I stopped to look at him just for a second.
I pray our son doesn''t have his problem-solving skills.
"Its hard to believe you own a multi-billion dorpany with yourck of intelligence to put the
puzzle pieces together.......its Diana." I said, pausing for a second."Diana''s my sister." and his mouth
dropped.
"Your joking, you guys are noooooooothing alike."He grimaced as I snorted, rolling my eyes.
" I know thats what I don''t understand... I mean my mother is a good person and her father took her in
when he was only eighteen. Most fathers would be selfish-" I began but was interrupted by a phone
ringinging from Ethan''s phone.
As he pulled out his phone I nced at the caller ID which read Diana.
I rolled my eyes.
Speaking of the devil.
After less than a minute Ethan closed the phone with panic written all over his facial features.
"Avery has a fever and Diana took her to the hospital downtown. I''m sorry I have to go, can you go
home by yourself?" He asked, apologizing and I nodded my head as he gave me a quick peck on the
lips.
"Yeah yeah I''m totally fine go." I lied, wanting him to be with me but I knew it would be selfish of me to
tell him to stay, especially the fact that I think Diana knows where we were and might be over
exaggerating about the whole fever thing but Avery doesn''t deserve to suffer for that selfish bitches
mistakes.

"Nate I''m home," I yelled walking through the door as he came running and I quickly kneeled down to
hug him.
"Hi, mommy did you bring me anything in precise."He asked as I rolled my eyes opening my suitcase to
hand him his Seattle t-shirt.
Every time we would go anywhere or I would he would want a t-shirt so he can add it to his collection.
"Thanks, mommy." He beamed as he ran to his room and James walked in
After calling Ethan many times and his phone would send me to voicemail, I called Diana and Angelina
but there was no purpose.
"James I have to go somewhere can you watch Nate for a little while longer," I asked and he nodded
his head which put a relief on my shoulders.
Within minutes I went to the toy store bought a teddy bear and was at the hospital desk.
"Hi can you please tell me where Avery Scott''s room is," I asked the clerk who looked to be in her mid-
fifties, with square frame sses and ck hair with little grey strands.
"Room 105, ten blocks to your right, " She said, with a tone of disgust but I didn''t mind.
I walked in a bit of a speedy pace but I could hear my high heels p against the white tiles.
I hope Avery is ok.
Once I finally reached the room the door was opened about an inch of the way to where I could see
everything.
"Oh, Ethan you have no idea how much I need you right now, how much I want you, how much I have
been wanting you, how much I crave you my darling."She said, with lust clear in her voice and before I
knew it there lips collided causing my heart to sink.
