The Billionaires Mistress

Chapter 47

River's POV

For some reason when your 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 revaluate 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

my grandbaby."She added, forgetting the fact that I know her well enough something was up and I was

going to get it out of her one way or the other.

"But you could have called Mother."I blurted, trying not to grit on my teeth she was frustrating me to the © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

max.

"River when are you going to get married? I want more grandchildren and Nathanial needs a

father."She smiled trying to make it sound innocent because she knew eventually I would splurge and

admit the fact Nate has a father and his father is in my life with or without marriage I could care less.

"Mom I'm only twenty-seven, Nate is fine the way he is and as of for more grandchildren I'm sure in a

good ten years Aiden will give you one."She sighed glaring at both Aiden and me.

"My darling, you deserve to be happy not pining over that low......" The sight of Ethan had her words

trapped in her throat before they could escape.

Oh lord help us or some ruler of the universe, please!

"Good morning Jeanine," Ethan said, grabbing his suit jacket off of the sofa.

"Ethan what a great surprise it is to see you."

"Same goes for you."He gave one of his famous charming smiles and the gave me a peck on the

lips."Bye Babe see you tonight." He winked walking out the door.

"I knew something was up the other day you called."She gawked, folding her arms in a dramatic

gesture.

"You knew or Mateo told you, Mom?" I retorted, nearly losing my patience.

"What does it matter that coward-

"Mother please watch your mouth Nate is in the next room he could hear you insult his father."

"Oh, so he knows what he did?"She cackled sarcastically

Oh my goodness, this couldn't be my mother.

"Mother don't you dare he's just a little kid!" I exclaimed, almost ready to break into tears.

"Did he care that Nate was still in your stomach when he left you." She protested, moving her hand

back and forth.

"Mom please he's still young."The stinging in my eyes was starting to get a little less under control.

"River he believed pictures and fake DNA results over your word he believed you were in it for the

money come on how could you be stupid to forgive that quick better yet ever."Her words were as harsh

as daggers plunging through my heart they made the tears I was struggling to battle come rushing

out."River I'm doing this for your own benefit your love for him is only going to bring you trouble and no

doubt he sees you love him to a boundless limit and your lucky if doesn't kill you."My heart was

struggling to stay intact at the moment her words one by one caused poison to run through my veins

which unleashed the freight that was running at five hundred miles per second.

I couldn't take it my breath was hitching and the heat around me built up and was threatening to choke

me,"Ethan isn't Landon and I hope you come to realize that soon or trust me I will do what you feared

to do. I will defy you and I could care less about your opinion."I swiftly walked out of the house not

giving her a chance to react and Ethan was standing behind the door with his arms extended.

Without much thought, I took the hug barring myself in his chest as more uncontrolled tears escaped

my stinging eyes.

I pulled my head up to look Ethan in the eye"Did you hear everything?"He nodded stroking my cheek

lightly.

"It's alright River I know she's right."He admitted intertwining her hands together.

"No, she's not she's just comparing our relationship to her and Diana's father she thinks I'm going to

turn out lonely and depressed."I corrected, trying to comfort him.

"It's alright babe lets go out to eat since you know technically we got kicked out of your home."He

chuckled, wrapping his arms around my waist.
