Chapter 19
"What the hell?" Ivy muttered as she made her way back to her room, seriously unsettled.
Fine, she had attacked Silas with that accusation, but that didn't give him the right to throw her out like that
When she finally reached her room, she slumped into her bed, her emotions all over the place
If Thomas was truly behind her mother's demise, why had Cole and their father waited so long to tell her? Had they taken legal action against him? Were these accusations even real, or were they just trying to manipulate her choices?
She wasn't sure anymore. Doubt poked at her curiosity, melding with her pain.
And Silas? She didn't even know what to think. Was he lying? Or he simply didn't know his brother as much as he thought he did.
Ivy sighed aloud, exhausted by her thoughts. She picked up her phone and dialed Cole's number, hoping he had answers that could pur her at ease. But Cole didn't pick up, and her doubt intensified.
She needed to find out if Thomas was truly responsible for her mother's death- with or without Silas's approval.
She picked up the file, went through it, saw that Silas had made the changes and signed. She stripped out of the golden gown, ready to end the exhausting day.
After a long, warm bath, Ivy retired for the night.
The next morning, waking up to a bouquet of flowers and a pink diamond necklace that spelled her name outside her door did little to calm her nerves or improve her impression of Silas.
She picked up the lilies and examined the attached card. It read: I'm sorry. - Silas.
The gesture made her blush as she placed the bags on the table in her room before heading downstairs.
"Oh, you're all ready," Silas said as she descended the stairs. He was dressed in a navy green shirt, standing at the bottom of the stairs.

She tucked invisible hair behind her ear. "Good," she murmured.
"Breakfast? I'm sure Bethany made something delicious," Silas said, and without waiting for her response, he led the way.
Ivy rolled her eyes but followed him, wondering why he was acting like yesterday didn't happen.
The dining room was grand, with a long table set with antique plates and cutlery. "Welcome to the dining room," Silas smiled. “I don't think I've given you a house tour yet?
