A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 52: Aaliyah's Secret.

"Congratulations, Captain!" Aria said, hugging Silas.

Silas pecked her on the cheeks and hugged her tight. "Thank you, Aria."

"Where's your bride?" Aria asked as she sat down. She was accompanied by a young man who nodded as he sat beside her.

"She'll be here soon," he replied.

He'd seen Ivy around the garden but lost sight of her almost immediately. A large table had been arranged in the middle of the garden for his family. Now, with everyone

seated, it gladdened his heart to see them in one place.

Theresa and her husband, Wills, had finally joined the party and were having a conversation with Uncle Mike. Thomas was on his phone, while Rosie was talking to Aria, who was signaling for a drink.

Andrew, seated beside him, leaned closer.

"So, you're officially off the market," Andrew teased.

"I was never on the market in the first place," Silas said with a smirk. "Can't say the same for you."

Andrew released a long, knowing laugh and sipped his drink. "Clown," he teased again.

Silas chuckled, reaching for his own glass of wine. Andrew had brought yet another woman, this one had monstrous jet-black hair, dressed inappropriately for his wedding, and Silas could bet Andrew didn't know her name, as usual. Silas turned to Thomas seated on his other side. "You good?"

"Yes, yes," Thomas mumbled distractedly, his eyes still fixed on his screen.

Silas's heart broke for his brother as he remembered yesterday's painful discovery. Thomas hadn't spoken about it, and Silas was willing to give him all the space he needed.

"Where's the bride? When will I meet her?" Theresa asked. Her blonde hair, now shoulder-length, made her look younger than her 33 years.

"Ah, yes. When will we see the Stone family's latest addition?" Wills added, his hand resting on his wife's shoulder,

"Soon," Silas replied, scanning the garden again for Ivy. He had asked Monica to inform her to change right after they left his study.

His body reacted as he remembers unlocked!

and now, he was eager for much more.

Desire stirred within him, and he stood up gingerly to avoid drawing attention to the

bulge in his trousers.
