THE BILLIONAIRE'S BETRAYAL: Married To My Ex's Brother

River's POV

"Inmate 304, you've been released." I heard the cold voice of the warder, who had made my life a living hell in this prison. I'm very sure she was sent by the devil to punish me, and every time I hear her voice, I get disgusted.

My face slowly rose from the worn-out concrete floor, my eyes heavy with exhaustion. I've been feeling nauseous for months now, but I brushed it off as exhaustion from prison life.

Nine months of hard labour, endless nights spent on a thin mattress, and the weight of betrayal hung heavy on my shoulders. My fiancé Rowan, who was also my boss, was the reason I had ended up here.

He had promised to bail me out after two months after I agreed to cover up his crimes, but I guess it didn't just work out, and I ended up serving 9 months.

Silence filled the void where his promises once lay; my heart still ached from the wounds of his abandonment. With a groan, I pushed myself up, my joints creaking in protest.

My legs trembled beneath me, threatening to collapse. I finally stood up, trying to steady myself, when I suddenly felt a sharp, stabbing pain pierce my abdomen, stealing my breath.

"Ahh!" I cried out, clutching my stomach as the agony intensified. My vision became blurry, and my knees buckled as I collapsed onto the cold floor, my palms scraping against the rough concrete.

In no time more warders burst in, their faces filled with concern. "We need to get her up," one said, and with that, they held my hands, lifting me. And then I felt it...a warm gush spreading down my legs.

"No...no...this can't be happening to me," I whispered, horror-stricken. One of the warders glanced down. "Did your water just break?" She asked, and her eyes widened in shock.

Many thoughts ran through my mind. How? The warders quickly supported me, guiding me out of the room. "We need to get you to the clinic, now," she yelled.

The warders rushed me to the cell's clinic, their grip tight as I stumbled. My whole body was trembling as fear sank in. "I didn't know I was pregnant..." I whispered, tears streaming down my face.

As we entered the clinic, the bright lights and antiseptic smell overwhelmed me. The nurses swarmed around, their faces blurred. A
