Chapter 144: Another Brother.

"I'm so sorry," Ivy said as she wrapped her hand around Rosie's body, trying to console her.

She couldn't even begin to imagine the state of mind Rosie was in. She rocked Rosie silently, waiting for Silas to come back. When Silas returned to the room, Ivy could tell that he wass seriously disturbed by the whole situation. His eyes were dark and his shoulders were slumped as he sat on the couch.

Her heart longed to reach him, to console him, but she tightened her hand around Rosie instead.

"Have you heard anything new?" Rosie asked, sniffling as she looked at Silas. "Nothing really. Wade isn't saying anything," Silas replied, his voice low.

"I don't know what to do," Rosie said, burying herself in Ivy's arms. "I don't know where to begin."

"Let's take it step by step. Don't overthink anything," Ivy advised, looking at Silas for support.

Silas leaned forward, reaching for Rosie's hand. "We'll all get through this. I am working on it."

Rosie straightened up. "How do we go after Mason?"

Ivy stiffened at Mason's name. She wanted to groan out her anger but she swallowed it instead.

Mason had been the problem of everything. And just when she thought he was done, he pulled out another card, another trick.

"We can't just let him get away with this right?" Rosie added, her voice firmer than before. "He needs to be brought to justice!"

“Easy now,” Ivy said gently, patting Rosie's shoulder. “I understand you're hurt but rage is such a bad emotion, you don't need it right now."

"But I do," Rosie argued and her voice cracked. "I... can't watch one man ruin my family."

Ivy sighed, her heart breaking at Rosie's tone. Maybe it was really time to do something about Mason because this was just too much.

"Don't worry, I will work on it," Silas said, his voice heavy with assurance.

Rosie sighed and sank into the chair, Ivy didn't know what to say, so she just let her be. "I feel so helpless, I can't help my husband.

"I'll work on it right now," Silas said, getting to his feet. "I am going to make some calls."

As Silas walked out of the room, Ivy's heart stirred with emotions. She wanted to be with him, to hold him. She could tell he was covering so much pain and she just wanted to help him.

"Do you think Thomas is coming out soon?" Rosie said, snapping Ivy out of her thoughts.

"I think..." Ivy said, clearing her throat. It felt so weird talking about this. "Yes," she added quickly, not to embarrass her.

But it was too late, Rosie's cheeks had turned pink and she had turned to the other side.

"I'm sorry, Rosie," Ivy pleaded in a small voice.

"It's not your fault," Rosie answered, wiping her eyes with her sleeve. "It's... I'm just not..." she trailed off and Ivy guessed she was about to cry again.

"Rosie..." Ivy said, trying to reach her, but Rosie stood up, her eyes now red.
