A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

When Ivy stepped out of Chester Hotel, she let out a sigh. Her face was dampened with sweat, and because of her anger she was breathing heavily.

"Fuck!" she muttered as she made her way down the street, uncomfortabile in her heels.

She couldn't shake the anger at Silas's accusations. Silas still didn't believe her, after everything she said or did.

And why the hell had he brought her back to Chester Hotel-the very place where they'd first slept together. What was he thinking? That they'd just do it again?

She was lost in thoughts and didn't notice the obstacle in her path. She tripped and stumbled right into a group of women, knocking down all their bags.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" Ivy exclaimed, reaching down to help pick up their belongings.

"Why don't you watch where you're going next time?" the red-haired lady amongst them snapped.

Ivy felt her cheeks flush. "I'm really sorry," she murmured, straightening and pulling up the golden gown to cover her cleavage.

"Ivy?" One of the women called, and Ivy leaned forward to see her properly.

Ivy swallowed as she recognized the voice. The last person she wanted to see was a relative of Mason.

"Paige!" Ivy forced a smile. "How are you doing?"

Paige's sharp eyes scanned Ivy from head to toe. "What are you doing out here dressed like a slut?"

"I'm... I was just taking a walk," Ivy stammered.

"Looking like this?" The red hair said.

"I was just coming from Chester Hotel. I had a. a date." Ivy gestured awkwardly toward the hotel.

Something glimmered in Paige's eyes-a glint of judgment or maybe mischief. "A date at Chester Hotel? How.. interesting."
