A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 137: His Confession.

As Ivy dropped the phone, she sighed as she turned to Sites. He had returned to his deck and was acting like he was avoiding her

"That was Cole" she said, hoping it would get him to start taking again. "He said Geo is ready to see detective Spence

"Cool" Silas said flatly, fiddling with the pen on the desk

Ivy's stomach twisted with his tone. Since he had come to pick her from the hosp, las had been keeping his distance

It was when she went to her room that she realized he had packed at his items back to his room.

And here she was, trying to have any form of communication with him.

"Should we talk about it?"

"Oh now you want to talk about it?" he snapped as he turned to face her. "What happened when you ran to Theresa's house? You didn't want to talk about it then?"

She bit her lip and looked away without saying anything.

"What were you even doing in a hospital?" he asked, standing up from his desk.

She took a step back and then told him everything from Aunt May's trick to her father's statement.

Silas' mouth curved into a frown. "What? He said that?"

"Yes, I bet Cole wanted to talk about it too, Ivy replied, her mind drifting to her conversation with Cole.

"Your father has the audacity to demand that of you, after everything!" Silas snapped, visibly annoyed.

"I told him that, she replied.

Silas went silent for a while before he spoke again. "What do you want to do?"

She looked at him and laughed. "What? Nothing. I have nothing to do. He can't ride on what he didn't work for"

As Ivy said that, her chest swelled with pride. She had come a long way to change her life and all the pain, the hurt had been worth it.

"Alright then," Silas said and then turned back to his desk.

Ivy sighed as she watched him sit down.

"You know the contract ends in a few weeks, Silas said, without turning from the table.

"Oh," she gasped, her heart flopping with shock and... longing. She couldn't believe it was almost six months already.

"But," Silas said, standing again. This time he walked up to her, the movement catching her by surprise, and she gasped again, her cheeks burning.

He placed his hand on her waist and drew her closer. "It doesn't have to end." She blinked. "What are you talking about?"

"I'm saying we should make it official. I love you Ivy, I've said it a billion times. I have loved you since the day I saw you in that black gown, sitting alone in that bar." He lowered his mouth to her neck, pressing himself against her stomach.

"And when I tasted you that night. God, I wanted more and more, Silas said, bringing his lips to her lips.

She parted them, responding to him with a hunger that terrified her. She told herself she was doing this because it was going to be over soon. Like a goodnight kiss. Like sweet dreams you embrace just because you know you will never feel it again.

But deep down, she knew she was lying.

She was kissing him because she was terrified. It was over, all those lovely were going to be over.
