Chapter 74: For Better Or Worse.
"Tomorrow?" Ivy asked hearing the shock in her voice. "But how? It's too soon.
"We don't have a choice," Silas replied, refiling his glass. “It's either we leave for Fiji as soon as possible, or stay here and allow Mason control the narrative."
A surge of anger raced through her, tightening her chest. She couldn't believe Mason was so quick to distribute that news.
