The Billionaires Mistress novel Chapter 13

Rivers POV

I woke up feeling really drowsy with a headache the mass of New Zealand itself.I was laying on a dusty maroon colored couch in what seemed to be the living room based on the amount of sunlight the area was receiving and a granite table full of mouth-watering foods in the center but I did not dare to extend my arm.

"Oh, your awake dear."He smiled rubbing my cheek gently but I backed away with fear.

When was Andrew going to give up and let me live my life in peace away from him?

"When will you understand I do not love you. I will never love you," I yelled trying to get my point across but all I received was a hard slap in the face.

"I did not want to hurt you River but you left me no choice," he said brushing his finger against my cheek.

"I hope you rot hell, Andrew,"I replied, gritting on my teeth.

He took a handful of my hair and began to tug on it.

"What did I just say," he asked with piercing eyes the size of a shark?

He was insane. I had to get out of here and quickly before he does anything to my child.

"Please let me go,"I cried," Please you're hurting me, Andrew." I tried to pull back my arm from his hurtful grip.

Before I could say another word Andrew was pulled by the shoulders and then punched square in the jaw. It was when he turned towards me I recognized him as Ethan.

"Are you ok," he asked, beginning to examine me carefully but before I could say a word the sound of a gun's hammer being pulled and directed at Ethan's head made the room explode of silence.

My heart was beating quick, too quick.

For some reason the possibility of Ethan getting hurt made me jump in front of him without even thinking twice about it.He quickly pulled me back into him, slide a hand onto my tummy and turned us the opposite direction of the gun.Feeling his hot breath against my neck while his hand was wrapped firmly around me made sparks ignite in the pit of my stomach.

"Step away from her," Andrew said in anger and Ethan did as told but in slow motion.He looked me in the eye, turned and kicked the gun out of Andrews' hand.Without a second thought, he jumped Andrew punching him a couple more times, got up grabbed my hand and ran to the exit.

I do not know how or why but my feelings that I tried so hard to bury were resurfacing yet this time there doubling and I knew it was out of my control.That I'd be lying if I said I resented him.

"You can not stay in the house that was rented for you anymore you have to stay at our house." I simply nodded.

"You are not arguing. Oh my god has the moon and sun collided into one.You, River Campbell, are not arguing.Do you have a fever or a cold of some sort?"He joked and I smiled rolling my eyes.
