Chapter 119: The Confrontation.

"That bastard," Silas whispered, clutching his fists.

"What?" Rita asked, her eyes moving from Ivy to Silas to Ivy again. "What is it?”

Ivy held her stomach as the truth settled in, she didn't know how to begin.

"Say something Ivy," Rita said urgently, her voice cracking with fear.

"Derek..." Ivy began and then paused. "You might have to sit down, dear."

The fear heightened in Rita's eyes, but she obeyed as she lowered herself on one of the wooden chairs in the park. Ivy sat beside her, her eyes drifting off to the gorgeous Mount Tamalpais up ahead.

"Rita," she began slowly again. "Theresa hadn't been cheating on Ryan's father, Derek-Wills-is her husband."

Rita shook her head, her eyes still widened, that it made Ivy wonder if this was the best moment to tell Rita anything.

"I don't understand," Rita said. "Explain."

Then Ivy explained, telling Rita everything she knew about Theresa and Wills marriage. When she finished, she had expected Rita to cry or break down or something, but instead she just pressed her legs together.

"So I was the other woman?" she asked gently, but Ivy could hear the pain in her voice.

"Oh, I'm so sorry love," Ivy said, pulling her closer and consoling her.

"He has a child... he's marri... oh... Rita trailed off, biting her fingers so hard that Ivy feared she might take them off.

"That's fool," Silas said through gritted teeth. "I'll be back." Then he left.

Ivy was concerned about the anger in Silas's eyes but she couldn't follow him, not without leaving Rita, so she signalled to Bud, who immediately got the message and followed Silas.

"I didn't know he was married," Rita said in a small voice. "I guess it explains a lot of-" she paused as her phone rang, interrupting her. She took it out and the fear returned in her eyes. "He's calling? What should I do?"

"Pick it and put it on speaker," Ivy told her, her own heart leaping with fear too. She nodded and did as Ivy said.

Wills's voice filled the air. "Baby, Rita my love. I'm sorry. Please come home, I'm home."

Rita looked at Ivy, mouthing something, but Ivy placed a finger on her own lips. "Just listen," she whispered.

"Baby? Are you there?" Wills said, his voice softer. "Please just come home." Then he ended the call.
