Bethany died.
Afterward, I found out that Ethan had ordered his men to grab Savannah.
I asked Ethan why, and he said that Bethany’s only weakness was Savannah.
As long as Savannah was safe, he could
bargain with Bethany to keep her from hurting Riley.
Ethan had saved Riley. Before I left the
country, I visited him one last time.
“I’ve been waiting for you,” Ethan said,
hopeful.

“I’m here to say goodbye. I’m leaving the
country for good.”
“I was going to marry her because her family knew something that could get me in trouble. And I sent you away because that family was willing to hurt you to get to me.
You’re my weak spot, Riley. I was going to bring you back and marry you as soon as things were settled. I was wrong. Please, don’t leave. I’ll do anything. Riley is going to grow up without me.
I’m sorry, Riley. Let me make it up to you.”
I didn’t listen to Ethan’s excuses.
No matter what reasons he had, it was over.
I knew that he’d felt something for Bethany.
“Thank you for saving her.”
I was about to hang up when Ethan begged,
“Will I ever get to know Riley?”
“I don’t want you to bother us. Please respect our wishes.”
I hung up. Ethan’s face looked miserable.
Before I left, Ethan’s parents ran up to me at the airport.
They grabbed Riley.
Riley clung to me.

“I never want to come back here. I just want
my mom.”
I hugged Riley.
“You’re so sweet.”
Extras (Ethan’s POV)
That day, my assistant told me Riley was waiting for me downstairs.
I was talking to Harrison, and I didn’t want his people to see her.
The Harrison were ruthless,
I knew they would use Riley as a bargaining
chip.
Riley camped out in front of the building. My assistant said she wouldn’t leave until she
saw me.
In desperation, I sent a message through my assistant that Bethany was in my office and I didn’t want to cause harm with her. I didn’t want her there so she didn’t know the plan.
She followed and left.
That’s why I tried to create the wedding, because that would be enough show that I wasn’t a threat.
I’ve been wanting you so bad because your were mad at me, I just couldn’t bring myself
to it..
But you followed anyway, and now I’ve lost everything.
I saw the little girl in the bathroom, and you
looked similar, and all of a sudden I was worried
Maybe even thought about who she might become, and if it was real.
On the eve of the wedding, I stayed at the company away from your family
Bethany found me, and I said, “You are never
my wife, I never loved you”
Bethany got angry and did not help but
brought her down with her.

Before you left the country and were willing to see me for a while
I am happy, I will not give you a good future
I sent your mom to see my daughter
Hopefully you and your daughter can forget
everything abroad, and have a new life.
