Chapter 44
Ivy marched into her room and bolted the door carefully behind her. She threw her bag on the bed, and the Cartier wristwatch and diamond necklace slipped out and fell on the floor.
What was wrong with her? Why couldn't she just control her emotions? And why the hell was Silas nonchalant about hugging Aaliyah Salvatore?
Ivy didn't have answers, but she was dying for them. She moved to the contents on the floor and picked them. She then placed them on the table.
She was taking off her shoes when there was a knock at the door.
"Yes?" she called, moving closer.
"It's Monica. Mr. Stone wants to see you in his room. He says it's urgent," Monica said from the other side.
"Alright, I'm coming," she replied, and waited until she heard Monica shuffle away.
What was Silas up to now? She didn't know, but she was curious. She wore her furry slippers and made her way to his room.
She was about to knock when Silas called. "Come in."
She stepped inside and her breath caught. Silas was shirtless, bent over his table. His muscles glistened, golden, hard and defined. When he turned to face her, she found herself licking her lips, admiring him.
"Sorry to call you like that. I know you're tired," he said, unaware of the tension in her heart and the heat between her legs. "But something important came up."
Despite the seriousness in his tone and the frown creased on his forehead, Ivy couldn't stop herself from blushing.
“Yes... uh...” she stuttered, unable to compose herself.
Silas left the table and walked to his bed. "Mason Hunter is suing you."
The statement hit her like a ton of bricks. "What?... Why?" she stuttered again, this time out of shock.
Silas peeled off his shoes one after the other. "He claims you assaulted his mother. He's suing for twenty million dollars."
Ivy gasped. "That bastard!"
"I know," Silas said calmly. "That's why I wanted to tell you before you found it on the news."
Ivy could feel the anger stir in her chest. "That bastard," she repeated. "He won't pay my money, yet he's suing me for the exact amount?"
