A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 57: A Complete Nobody.

"Oh," Ivy whispered, staggering at the pain in her heart, behind and stomach. Silas reached her before she could fall, holding her steady. He hugged her tightly. "So sorry to deliver the news like that," he mumbled against her ear.

Ivy closed her eyes to the pain, trying to send it away, but it was too much and it hurt. She couldn't believe it. Her father had shared her publicly.

"I want to see it," she said.

"Huh?" Silas was surprised.

"I want to see the article," Ivy said, trying her hardest to keep the pain from her voice.

Silas nodded, quickly pulling his phone from his pocket. He scrolled for a moment before handing it to her.

Ivy took it, her hand shaking slightly. As she scanned the phone, her eyes caught the bold headline:

PATRICK SCOTT DISOWNS DAUGHTER, IVY SCOTT, BARELY 24 HOURS AFTER

WEDDING TO BILLIONAIRE SILAS STONE,

She gasped, covering her mouth in disbelief. Not only had her father granted an interview saying all that in a video, but Cole had also released his statement, dissociating himself from her.

"That's enough," Silas said, taking the phone gently away from her.

She collapsed in his arms, her heart shattering. It was official. She was no longer Ivy Scott. And when her contract with Silas was over, she would be a complete nobody.

Silas ran a comforting hand down her back, but she was determined not to cry. She could understand her father's reason, but Cole?

When did her brother become cold-hearted like their father? After everything they'd been through together?

She remembered their conversation, and the memory replaced all her pain with anger.

"I'm going to see him," she said, her voice firm even though she was boiling inside.

Silas was surprised as he looked her in the eyes. "Are you sure?"

"Yes," she nodded. "I have some unfinished business with both of them."

Silas observed her for a moment before letting her go. "I understand," he finally

said. "But you're not going alone, Bud will drive you there"

"Thank you," she smiled.

"You need an aspirin for the pain. Come, Monica will get you something." Silas said, leading her towards the stairs,
