Chapter 28

"What the hell!" Ivy yelled, lunging at Rosie, but Silas caught her just in time. "Why would you do that?"

"That's for not respecting your marriage to Silas," Rosie said, her eyes glinting with amusement.

Ivy knew Rosie destroying the phone had nothing to do with her marriage to Silas. Rosie just didn't want her answering the call because she knew it would ruin her claim that she was plotting with Mason.

"That was too far," Silas said, chiding Rosie. He was too close to Ivy, and she could feel his hardness pressing against her butt.

She wiggled free, her face burning. She was pissed at him for taking Rosie's side without hearing her out first.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Silas," Rosie said, tossing a strand of hair away from her made-up face. “I acted out of anger. I was just pissed Ivy would do such a thing to you,"

Ivy looked at Silas, daring him to say a word. He caught her gaze and turned to Rosie. "Can you give us a minute?"

Rosie was taken aback, and she couldn't conceal her surprise in time, "Yes, sure." She snarled at Ivy as she left the room.

Silas locked it behind her, then turned to face Ivy. "I'm sorry about the phone. I'll get you a new one," he said, trying to sound apologetic.

"You need to leave, too," she said, pointing toward the door.

"I need an explanation," he insisted, folding his arms. "You need to tell me your discussion with Mason."

"I already did. Now, leave!" she snapped, hoping her anger would drive him away.

She was furious, but beneath the anger, was a deep ocean of pain and sadness. Cole had called her again, and when she didn't pick up, he'd left her a voicemail.

"I can't believe you're married to the family responsible for our mother's death. Maybe Dad was right after all-you don't deserve this family,"

Her heart shattered as she recalled his cruel words. Silas noticed the change in her expression and moved closer.

"I didn't pick a side this time," he said softly. "Please, I'm begging you to tell me your side of the story. The whole plan could fall apart."

Ivy's shoulders slumped as she walked to the bed and sat down. "I already told you," she said weakly, defeated by her emotions. "You can go now. Just let me know when next you need me for public appearancès.”
