A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 71: Interior Designers.

"Oh shit," Ivy cussed as she sank on the bed.

She threw her purse on the floor and buried her face in her palm. Her cheeks were burning with embarrassment as Silas's rejection replayed in her mind. Her excitement had died immediately he turned away.

Ivy fell back on the bed, exhaling as she did. If there was an advantage to the rejection, it was that it had reduced her excitement, it had brought her back to reality. Now, she was seriously exhausted.

She sprang out of bed, took off her shoes, her gown and her underwear and went to have a long bath. The cool water in the shower eased out the tension building in her

chest.

When she came out of the bathroom, she heard her phone buzzing. With a towel around her hair, she walked over to the table and picked it.

She frowned when she realized she had two missed calls from Mason, and then a message. She sat on the bed and read it.

'You'll pay for it.

The single line was cold and sharp, and it made her stomach knot with fear. Though she knew Mason deserved everything she was doing to him-and what she planned to do, she couldn't quite shake off the fear.

She locked her phone, refusing to give in to the fear creeping up her spine.

"Fuck off," she muttered dropping the phone beside her.

She laid on the bed, determined to reminisce on the joy she'd felt seeing Mason

miserable.

The next day, Ivy was woken by a knock on her door. She stretched, yawned and left the bed as she trudged to answer it.

"Yes?"

"It's me, Ivy," Monica said from the other side.

Ivy opened the door and walked back to the bed.

"Good morning. How was your night?" Monica asked, her tone light.

"It was good," Ivy said, rubbing her eyes. "How was yours?"

"Great," Monica smiled. "How did the party go? Did you enjoy yourself?"

"I did," Ivy said. "Thanks for helping me get ready."

"You're welcome," Monica nodded. "Your husband would like you to join him for breakfast."
