The Billionaires Mistress
Chapter 3

River's P.O.V

Andrew turned towards the intruder's voice with a murderous look, "This is is none of your business so get the fuck out of my face."

The man forced a smile while his ocean blue eyes turned a few shades darker, "Actually it is my business for two reasons one the girl doesn't want to see you or talk to you and yet you're still insisting by force.I won't ever allow that and two your in my house, on my property so I advise you to let go of her or I will have my men drag your ass out of here. Do I make myself clear."He snarled while glaring at Andrews grip on my hands.

Andrew let go of me slowly and took a few steps closer to the handsome stranger, "If you think this is over, your mistaken pretty boy."

A scowl crossed his face but it was clear he was still trying to mask his emotions"Any day any time because I'm not afraid of a bastard like you."

Andrew chuckled while making the final statement before leaving, "We will see who laughs in the end."

I sighed looking directly into his eyes, "Thank you ah Mr-"

He extended his hand and I was quick to shake it as my heart beat accelerated he replied, "The names Ethan and it's my pleasure."

"River and thank you again."His eyes glistened causing a smile to stitch onto my face but just as I was about to turn a model like women came out attaching her arm onto Ethan, naturally my eyes roamed to his left hand to replace there was indeed a ring on it.

I was heartbroken and I tried my best that moment to bury any feelings that I had for him but like we all know we don't control who we feel them for. I would be fooling myself if I said they were gone that instant because they weren't.

I put on the best fake smile I could muster and quickly walked down the stairs and out into the backyard. I saw my baby brother Aiden wave his hand from a distance and so I walked to our table to sit.

"Are you ok?" He asked, placing his hand on my shoulder. This brought a smile to my face because no one knew me better than him. He was so young yet he knew so much.

I shook my head while stroking his right cheek, "Yes I'm fine."

"Th.....at dress is too..... short River."My father slurred, shaking his hand. I'm guessing no I knew he was drunk.

I took a deep breathe so I wouldn't lash out at him, "It's the only dress I own and I couldn't afford to buy a new one because of all the bills we need to pay at the end of the month."

He shook his glass of bourbon before taking a sip and then looking me in the eyes, "Just don't wear it again."My eyes roamed anywhere but his and landed on Ethan's gaze which sparked many emotions in the pit of my stomach that I wasn't ready to face so I averted his gaze and leaned into my mother's side.

"Can we leave now I don't feel too well."She shook her head, told my father and we all got up heading towards the exit so we could get to our home.

Just when we were about to enter our home my father received a text and I could see a hint of fear in his eyes an emotion he never gave off which left an uneasy feeling in me but I decided not to think too much into it.

"River I need to talk to you."He said, pointing to the chair on our porch.

I examined him for a while before nodding my head. "Yes."I replied.

"Do you want to marry Andrew?"He asked, ever so calmly yet you could sense fear was laced with his words.

Clearly, he was insane.He wanted me to marry that idiot who I did not even love.

"No," I replied, sternly and without any hesitation.
