Chapter 4
Ivy was humming a tune as she got ready for work when a knock sounded at her door. "Yes, Aunt?"
"I need you in the living room now," her aunt replied, her tone urgent.
Ivy brushed her hair and wore her flats. She was in a very good mood after spending the night with Silas.
Last night reminded her that she was still a pretty woman who a handsome man found alluring enough to spend the night with
She arranged her bag, humming as she prepared for work without hurry. When she entered the living room, her good mood vanished as she saw her father and Cole. "Dad?" she said, startled.
"I told you I don't want you around me! Why were you asking your brother for money!" her father yelled.
Ivy's cheeks flushed as she glanced between her father and Cole. "I'm..sorry. I just needed something to start up my-"
"I don't care!" her father interrupted. “I asked a million times if you loved that idiot, and you said you did, You gave him everything, and he ruined you." His bitterness was palpable.
That's enough, Patrick," her aunt chided. "She's gone through enough. We're supposed to correct her with love."
"You can do that," her father sneered. "I don't have any more love to give her."

"Dad..." Ivy's voice trailed as he left.
"I'm so sorry.
so sorry, Ivy. He found our, Cole murmured before following their father.
Ivy sank into the couch, barely holding tears in place.
Her aunt sat beside her and hugged her. "I'm so sorry, my dear," she said softly. "Til talk to your father-he'll-"
"No," Ivy shook her head. "I deserve this,"
"No, you don't," May tightened her embrace. "You trusted the wrong man. It's not your fault, my sweet girl"
Images of Mason and pregnant Cheryl flashed through her mind. She didn't want to dwell on their betrayal, or her father's rejection.
She just wanted to bury herself in work and hold onto the memory of her night with a beautiful stranger.
"I need to go to work, Aunt May," Ivy said, standing up.
"Should I pack you some breakfast? I made toast," May offered.
