Chapter 22
Diana’s POV
For the past twelve weeks, I would sit on my bed and stare at the ceiling. Every time I tried to
rationalize what my mother and I planned on doing to River I felt like it was me who was going to kill but
the truth is all we were doing is helping the killer.
I stood there and gazed at my facial features as I reordered what happened that day. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“My name is Mateo Garíca,” he said extending his muscular arm towards me while examining me with
his dark brown eyes.
“Diana.......“It took me a while to process that soon enough my last name will no longer be Scott before
I replied,“Diana Richmond.“I smiled ushered for him to take a seat as I looked at his file,“What do you
have against River?“I asked pressing my lips together.
“She is the reason for my brother’s death,” He replied, with fire piercing through his eyes.“How are you
her uncle?” I asked.
“Yes, we have the same mother different fathers.I want to kill her and make her family suffer,” he
replied with venom in his words.
“Thats fine by me,“I announced giving him a dour look.“You may leave now.”
I genuinely did not care for River I just wanted her to disappear from my life and if this was the way to
do it than gladly.
Ethan POV
These past 10 weeks have been like a dream. We have been living in peace with no doubts or
regrets.During my free time, I would take River out because I knew after she had our baby she was
barely going to have time to breathe especially with school and all.
Right now I was at the company preparing to leave I was going to take her out to the movie
theater.What kept me going is knowing that tomorrow I would be divorced from Diana and done with
her.I was sick from deep within my core of her but I still wanted to remain decent with her even though I
knew that it was going to be hard.
I was sitting at my desk staring at the San Fransisco bridge when Ariana my secretary came in.
“Sir you told me to clear all your schedule for tomorrow morning.”
“Clear it for the whole day please,” I ordered, grabbing my suit jacket and walking outside towards the
company entrance as Max brought my car from the garage and in a matter of minutes, I was at
Micheals house to find River standing outside
Within seconds she came in a purple polka dotted sundress about knee high and her dirty blonde hair
wrapped in a ponytail just the way I despised it.
“You look beautiful.“I said taking the elastic band from her hair releasing it making her hair flow
out,“Now you look sexy.”
“Ethan I do not look sexy.“She grimaced, slightly as I kissed her on the cheek,“Where are we
going?“She asked, just as I was pulling out of the driveway.
“Thats a surprise?“I said knowing she was going to get angry.
“You know I hate surprises.“She wined, hitting my shoulder lightly as we arrived at the theater and she
laughed.I remember her telling me she never watched the movie Titanic because she already knew the
ending and it would be pointless even though she wanted to watch it so I rented out the theatre for
us.We walk into the theatre and the host lead us to an empty room with all sorts of colorful foods.
“What do you want to name our baby?“River asked gazing at me.That question I was not ready for
even though she was nearly eight months along. I had thought of some names but was not sure plus I
felt the mother should have that right since they go through so much pain to bring the baby into the
world.
“What do you think?”
“I have no idea and you know I hate it when you answer my question with a question.”
“Maybe Nathan if you like it,“I said, looking at her.
“Thats a..........um a............. really nice name,” She said smiling,“Any precise reason?”
“My grandfather was named Nathan he practically raised me since my Dad was busy with the company
and my Mom was a traveling doctor.He always encouraged me to go with my heart not with my mind
and when I wanted to become a neurosurgeon he was the first to stand by my side. I was ready to give
up the CEO position but my father disagreed he was afraid all our family had worked for would be
gone.Of course, I was disappointed but I slowly learned to accept it.”
“Wow, he sounds like a good man.”
“He was.”

It was finally the day. The day I get rid of Diana and her craziness. The day I propose to River and the
day all my troubles end.I walked into the court building with my head held high waiting for Diana
outside of the courtroom and soon Diana walked in with a smirk plastered on her face.
If I was not married to her for ten years I would have said she was happy but no that was the look.The
look she gave when she had something bad planned.She wore on a black blouse with a black and
white flower pencil skirt along with a light jacket and a clutch in her right arm.
“Good morning Ethan.“She chirped smiling with her eyes glowing.
“You ready to go in?“I asked impatiently.
“Ethan I have to tell you something but I do not want you to take it the wrong way.” She gave a coy
smile patting me on the hand.
“Ok,” I mumbled petrified by her next words.
“Im pregnant.”
