The Billionaires Mistress novel Chapter 7

River's P.O.V

When we got off the bus the sun was going down so it was a bit windy. After all, fall was just around the corner. We grabbed our bags and headed towards the exit only to be stopped by two policemen.

"Jeanine Campbell you are under arrest for the murder of John Campbell. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you."My heart stopped as many questions raced through my mind but one was overpowering the rest.

How did they find out?

After the police took my Mom Aiden and I followed along in a taxi and we were currently waiting to talk to the head of the police department and for some reason, it felt like time wasn't passing by what so ever.

"Are they going to take away Mom?"Aiden asked I cocked my head in his direction to find a tear on his cheek.

I stroked his cheek softly, " I promise you Aiden I will get her back."I replied, hugging him but the hug was cut short by the clearing of a throat.

I looked up to meet the eyes of a man who looked in his mid-forties because he seemed physically fit but he had a couple of wrinkles on his face and his blonde hair was graying in some areas.
