The Billionaires Mistress novel Chapter 48

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.

"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.

"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.
