Chapter 41

"What do you mean dated my husband before?" Ivy asked, aware of the heat on her cheeks and the panic in her voice. God, she sounded so stupid.

"Dated, you know. Smashed. They were an item-they fucked," Sally explained, oblivious of the pain building in Ivy's chest.

Ivy tried to act indifferent. But her heart wouldn't stop pounding.

"I'm sure it's all in the past now," Sally said, placing her hand on Ivy's shoulder as if to console her.

"Yes, all in the past," Xia agreed.

Ivy faced the mirror, seeing the pink rise on her checks. "I wonder what else I don't know about Silas," she murmured, biting her lips.

"Well," Xia began. "Your husband has-"

"Love for you," Sally interrupted her.

From the mirror, Ivy saw Sally eye Xia. She looked away, the pain banging in her chest. Why the hell was she feeling this way? It wasn't as if it was a real marriage. Why was she feeling like a real wife who got cheated on?

"Shall I begin?" Sally asked, smiling at her through the mirror.

Unable to speak, Ivy nodded. Her eyes drifted to the Cartier wristwatch, and a thought crossed her mind.

Damn. She was such a fool to think every time Silas gifted her, it was meaningful. That was his way of playing off the guilt he felt. He'd do terrible things, and then give her expensive gifts to feel better.

Two gifts at a time meant he had done something terrible again-like appoint his ex-girlfriend to be in charge of her styling.

She wanted to yank the wristwatch off her hand and throw away the necklace too. But she couldn't-not with Sally and Xia around- they lived for gossip.

"Mrs. Stone?" Sally's voice broke her thoughts.

"Huh?" Ivy blinked, shifting in her chair. "Sorry, what did you say?"

"I asked who did your hair," Sally repeated.
