Ethan's POV
I woke up with my head pounding intensely and the memory of what happened last night comes flooding back in.So I quickly check my surroundings and find River laying next to me sound asleep.
Oh shit!
What the hell did I do?
I tried my best to stay away and then in one night I ruin everything.
I had to leave before she woke up and hopefully Jeanine doesn't see me.
(The Morning Before I Broke Up With River)
Entering my office I saw Jeanine sitting on the arm chair in front of my desk of course I did not suspect a thing but then again I didn't have the time to argue with her over the littlest of things.
"Jeanne what a pleasant surprise." Not, I really did not want to see her because I knew she was going to discuss my relationship with River and I was not going to allow her mess up something I spent months rebuilding.
"Its never pleasant to see you Ethan nor will it ever be it's actually a disgrace." She grimaced forcing a smile and I no joke was going to kick her out of my office if it wasn't for my love for River.
Moving around the desk to take my seat I huffed a deep breathe,"Make this quick please I have tons of work to do."
"With the nut sized brain you hold in there I'm surprised the company hasn't gone bankrupt better exploded to shreds." She chuckled sarcastically and it was my turn to force a smile.
"As much as I would love to stand here and let you insult me I have a family waiting for me."The fake smile on her face automatically transferred to a frown with a hint of anger on he facial expressions.
"You will stay away from River for good I don't want you near her." She hissed, with venom in her words and I gave her a blank expression.
Who the hell does this lady think she is.
"Thats none of your concern you can't make me do that." I yelled, standing up from my seat.
She cackled like a maniac before saying," Yes I can and I will. You will remarry Diana and live with your daughter visit Nathan occasionally and stay far away from River."She seethed, standing up and this time I allowed anger get the best of me.
"Keep dreaming lady River and Nathan are my only family and you can't make me leave them."I challenged, and this time the smile was genuine with every written all over her body language.
"I will tell Nathan how his pristine father left his mother nearly nine months pregnant and trust me Ethan when I say I will not hesitate to leave a single detail out."She walked towards the door flipping her blonde her and then turned back my way."While both my daughters are really strong Diana is much weaker then River, River with Nate by her side can move on. You will break it off with River this evening."
I had no choice in the matter I doubt if I told River she would believe me but then again I don't want risk Nathan finding out what a horrible father I am let the pristine image remain in his head it would be better.

Diana's POV
I was going to get what I want and if that meant sweet talking or maybe kissing the ass of the no good women that birthed me then I was up for it.
