A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 3

"We've been waiting for you, Thomas said as Silas entered his office.

"Sorry I'm late, Silas smiled at his brother as he made his way to his desk.

"I waited all evening for you." Wade said, flickering with a pen on the table.

Silas ignored his brother's lawyer. He was in a good mood, and he wouldn't allow Wade ruin it. "How are you feeling this morning?" he asked his brother.

"Bad. Terrible," Thomas replied in a tone that made Silas's heart pound. "I'm under investigation. I can't walk around without reporters on my neck."

Sila's heart clenched. "I didn't know it was this serious. I thought it was a rumor.

"You would have known how serious it was if we'd met yesterday," Wade said, his tone harsher than before.

"I waited for close to an hour at the restaurant," Silas countered, frowning. "When I didn't see you, I left."

He had left the restaurant and gone to a bar, where he met the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. His heart flickered as he remembered their night together.

"Well, I got busy and then I called your line, but you didn't pick," Wade said, his voice softening.

"I got busy too. Silas's lips twitched with a smile as he remembered Ivy.

When he saw her sitting there alone in that black gown, every nerve in his body came alive. He wasn't one to womanize or find women particularly irresistible, so it was surprising to him that he was immediately drawn to her.

She didn't seem fazed by his bodyguard, Bud-another reason he found her intriguing. And she didn't even seem to recognize him- which was even weirder.

"Let's not start an argument, Thomas said, the worry evident on his face. "We need a solution."

Silas and Wade always had issues, but he was willing to put them aside for his brother's sake. “Fine, What really happened?' I'm in the dark here"

"Your brother has been accused of fraud," Wade explained.

"Fraud? That's impossible!" Silas exclaimed. "He's the most honest man'l know."

"Which is why we believe he was framed," Wade said,

"By who?"

"We don't know," Wade shrugged.

"Well, I do. It's that son of bitch, Mason Hunter," Thomas said through gritted teeth.

"No, no, we can't go about accusing people. Wade held a hand.

"It's obvious," "Thomas insisted. "He fabricated those emails, lied that I bribed zoning regulators to get the Crystal Residences. I just don't know how he got access to my clients' financial information"
