The Billionaires Mistress novel Chapter 12

Ethan's POV

I could not believe my mother had done such a horrifying thing. Who takes advantage of a person's weakness like that?

I pulled up into our driveway and I ran out.

She was in the house I knew that for sure because it was a Friday she never went out on a Friday.

"Mother,"I yelled in anger.

"Mother,"I yelled again going up the stairs.

"Why are you screaming Ethan your father is asleep," my mother said from the top of the staircase than ran down the stairs and tried to grab me by the arm but I was 6'5 and my mother was 5'3" so it was hard for her to push me.

I stopped in the middle of the hallway and turned towards her with a scowl on my face,"You lied to me."I pointed my finger at her as she looked at me confused so I decided to clear it up a bit."You told me that River was willing carry our baby for the money but you failed to mention mother that her brother had cancer and her mother was in jail."

Her eyes widened and then without hesitating she pushed me towards our library.

"What if someone heard you," she whispered, putting her hand on her head gently in relief?

I could not believe this woman, that's all that concerned her.

"You knew her brother had cancer and her mother was in jail, yet you still went with the agreement mother,"I whisper yelled, on the verge of exploding.

" I did not know that!" she replied, shaking her head in one direction but I knew my mother and I knew she was lying. She never made an agreement with any soul without doing a background check.

"Mom come on please admit your fault for once in your life," I snapped, in an almost sarcastic tone as she rolled her eyes.

"I met her in the hospital and I made the proposal to her that is it."She replied, and I noticed she could not look me dead in the eyes when she was admitting this.

"Mother I know you better than I know my self you did a background check on her and you knew she needed the money so she will not refuse."I knew I caught her because she turned her head the opposite direction and then shook her head. I began to stroke my hair roughly because I hated when she put her nose in my business it just pushed every last damn button in me.

"What you did not only messed up my life but others including your grandchild.I expected more from you."She looked up at me with widened eyes but I turned and left her there without another word.

How the hell was I supposed to explain my self to River? I do not even have the audacity to look in those glistening eyes.I was rude and I hurt her without noticing and what about Diana she will never know the cold truth all because of my mother.

I walked up to my room and laid my jacket on the bed. Then rolled up my sleeve and buried my head in my hands.

"Baby what's wrong," Diana asked, putting her warm hands on my cheek?

"Nothing it's just I found out that River's is pregnant."

"How did you find out," she said smiling and nearly jumping for joy?
