A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 52

Chapter 53: The Ex-best friend.

Ivy felt her blood boil as she watched Silas stand and follow his assistant. She could bet they were going to the study to finish whatever business they had together, the same way he had taken Aaliyah there.

She clenched her fist under the table, her heart burning with anger. This was their wedding day, and Silas was busy with his extras-in the same room she had given him a hand job.

Despite her anger, heat coursed through her thinking about his body. She felt foolish reacting, knowing that Silas was doing the same with others.

She wasn't going to let him get away with this. She wasn't going to relive Mason's infidelity again. Not with Silas. They were married now-officially-and she

considered this her business.

"So, Ivy, what do you do?" Theresa asked, pulling her from her thoughts.

"I... am a photographer," Ivy answered.

"Oh, nice!" Aria exclaimed, "I can't wait to work with you, girl!"

Ivy chuckled. Though, her heart ached at how much she had missed photography,

how much she hadn't given it much thought since she signed Silas's contract.

"Where's your office?" Aria asked. "I want to start immediately."

"She doesn't have a place yet," Thomas interjected before Ivy could answer. "Silas is still trying to secure a place. I'm still working on it."

"When Thomas promises you a land, he delivers," Aria said, refilling her glass.

"The money man himself," Andrew added with a laugh.

Ivy chuckled.

"Aside from your photography, any other hobbies?" Theresa asked, her gorgeous. blonde hair bouncing as she leaned in.

"Or are you like some people whose occupation is also their hobby?" Wills joked.

"I have a hobby!" Theresa exclaimed, playfully tapping her husband.

Everyone laughed,

"But for real I do," Theresa said. "I love to hike."

"Babe, you just started hiking two weeks ago," Wills laughed.

"Doesn't matter how long you do it, as long as you love it," Aria added.
