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.

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

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