The Billionaires Mistress novel Chapter 53

Diana's POV

I toke a step back in hope he wouldn't notice my presence in the room but my heavy breathing gave me away.

He always did have exceptional great hearing.

His head cocked in my direction and I visibly gulped locking with eyes."How could you be so stupid and make a deal like this did you think I would love you again because that's never going to happen my heart belongs to River Diana that's never going to change."He stepped closer to me while gritting on his teeth.

His veins were revealed as he balled his fist.

"Ethan this was five years ago I...I..... um was-"

"Save it Diana if it's me you want then your gonna get but you leave River and my son alone do you understand me!"He growled in a beastly tone and I nodded my head in fear of his next move."We will get Engaged tonight."I could tell he struggled to get the last part out but I could care less I finally got what I wanted.

He paced himself then finally walked towards the nearest exit then he stopped and turned to look dead at me.

"Nothing is going to happen between us we're never going to be a happy married couple raising a family your just not the person my heart yearns for."Without giving me a chance to reply he left causing me to stay glued to my spot.

Rivers POV

After throwing up the content of my stomach for second time that day I devoured practically everything in sight.

Something that's been happening for a while now but I barely payed attention to my health.

I've been taking care of Nate and staying glued to my work while checking on Vi since she decided to move in with Andrew.

After Ethan left this morning I decided to drop everything associated with him it was just hurting me more then benefiting.

Nate's voice took me out of my train of thoughts."Mom the door bell rang."He looked at me then pointed towards the door.

Without saying a word I swung open the door to find Matteo standing there with a look of concern on his face.

"You look pale and tired."He cupped my cheek pulling me into a hug.

Rubbing my forehead I managed to muster,"No it's just I've been caught up in work lately so I didn't really sleep last night."

"Oh dios mio its called work not suicide sis."He huffed a breathe placing his hand on my forehead."I want to tell you something. He visibly gulped waiting for me to say or do something.

"Ok um Nate can you inside baby."I said and Nate nodded walking into his room.

"Sit down first I want to deliver the news to you while your alive."He chuckled and I rolled my eyes.

He was over exaggerating like always.

"Um Ethan-"He began and I interrupted because I was tired of the subject.
