A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Dylan’s Leftovers.

“Ivy? Easy on him, please Monica said from the other side of the door, her voice soft and pleading.

Ivy leaned against the door, holding her breath so she wouldn’t be heard.

“Ivy” Monica said again. When she realized Ivy wasn’t going to respond, she walked away.

Ivy sighed, emotions racing within her. She was angry, jealous, but suddenly regret had joined the emotions. She moved away from the door and sat on the bed, her heart pounding with more regret.

It was dumb of her to throw Silas’s stuff out, and now that sudden decision was biting her from the inside.

She stood up and started to unpack her bag. As she took out her Pear laptop, the regret heightened in her chest. She hadn‘

1 even thanked him for the gifts. Even now, she hadn’t even given him a chance to explain

“Ivy?” Silas’s voice broke her thoughts. “Please open the door”

His sad tone finally got to her, and she walked to the door and opened it.

Silas walked in looking exhausted. “Hey, he said softly.

“Hey, she replied. Her cheeks burned with heat as she took a step back.

1 am sorry I came late, sorry about dinner,” he apologized. “I promise to make it up to you.”

Dinner was not the reason for her anger, she was mad he spent a day with Kim without calling. “I called and texted you. You didn’t reply,”

“I don’t know where my phone is,” Silas replied. “I have been looking all over for it.”

She raised her brow, finding it hard to believe him. But she nodded. “Okay.”

He stepped closer, and she could tell he wanted to touch her, but she stepped back, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “How is Kim now?”

“Good,” Silas replied with a sigh. “She had surgery.”

Her stomach dropped. “Oh, I’m sorry. How did that even happen?”

Silas shrugged. “I don’t know. Monica called me. By the time I got here, the ambulance was already here to help her.”

Yet, he followed her to the hospital and stayed for hours.

“Cool” she muttered. “Where is she now? How is she?”

“She is recovering. She… is back home,” he said, his voice dropping as he stuttered. His eyes shone with remorse as he tried to reach her again.

But Ivy stepped back quickly, avoiding him. “What do you mean she’s back home?”

The remorse in his eyes deepened. “She will be here for the time being till she feels better.”

Ivy gasped before she could stop herself. She shook her head, moving swiftly to the window. She couldn’t believe he brought her back.

“I know it sounds weird,” he said, guilt filling his tone. “But I can’t have news getting out that Kim was injured in my house. The media would paint awful pictures.”

She turned to him in disbelief. “But you’ll have your ex–fiance and your wife under the same roof?” she asked, hearing the pain in her voice.

Silas stepped closer still trying to touch her. “It’s complicated, I know. But we can control the narrative here. Nobody would find out, besides it’s just till she fully recovered.”

Ivy’s stomach knotted with disgust. She couldn’t believe the nonsense Silas was spilling. He was keeping Kim because of the media? That didn’t make sense.

Suddenly the unpleasant truth hit her. Silas wasn’t over Kim, that would be the only reason he was doing this. She turned to him, her pain turning into anger.

“That’s great,” she said angrily. “I already packed your bag so you can physically keep her company as well.”

Silas gasped, his hazel eyes widened. “Ivy-”

“No,” she interrupted him, raising a finger. “She needs you. She’s your guest, so go to her.”

He paused, his eyes glinting with pain, but she didn’t care; she was in pain too. She looked away, gesturing to the door.

“Good night, Silas.” Her voice betrayed her, filling with hurt, but she turned her back to him before he could play on the emotions.

“Ivy…” he trailed off, his voice thick with sadness.

She stood her ground Wagen her shoulders squared so he could see the west backing down from her decision. After some time she heard him walk to the der ande

These weren’t tears of sadness, they were tears of pain and anger. She felt sorry that Kim had almost lost her leg, but she was angry at Siles for making it his business and even angrier at herself for feeling this way

She wiped the bear’s away promising herself not to let this get to her. She was a coffract wife, after all, and Silas had indirectly shown her that

When she left the bathroom, her thoughts drifted to Rita and the les she had told about Ryan’s dad. She had to know if her cousin was in danger, now that she had met lele Ryan, the definitely had to take care of him

My changed into her pajamas, determined not to think about Silas. She browsed the Internet for a while before drifting to

sleep

The next morning, even though she woke up feeling better, her heart still tugged at Silas’s absence. She missed him, massed his smile, his cuddles. But when she remembered he probably gave Kim some cuddles last night, the emotions disappeared

“It’s going be a great day, she muttered to herself as she got out of bed.

She walked to the closet, picked a bright pink gown and black heels for her day, then got ready. While she was dressing, her phone buzzed, and she reached for it.

There were four messages from Silas.

I’m sorry, Ivy.”
