A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

hapter 155: More Than Grateful.

Silas stretched on the bed as he slowly blinked awake. He felt a hand on his chest before his eyes opened fully

Tvy, baby, he mumbled, his voice thick with sleep as he reached for helpuffing her in for a quick

She kissed him back, but not as deeply as he would have loved. He sat opright, his brow furrowed "What happened? tvy bit her lip and stood up from the bed "It's Rosie she escaped"

He leapt out of bed, his heart pounding "What?"

Ivy didn't say anything, but her eyes did the talking

"Where's Thomas?" he asked, fear surging inside him

"He's downstairs. He asked me to wake you"

He rushed to the bathroom, took a quick shower, before changing into a blue shirt and grey sweatpants Together with try they went downstairs where his family was talking over each other in the hallway

"Guys," he called, but nobody heard him.

Thomas was explaining something and when his eyes met Silas, he moved away from them. “Sk, how are you doing? Silas's stomach dropped at the look in his brother's eyes. Thomas looked empty, his gaze dull and the realization tightened Silas's chest

"Good. How are you doing, bro?" he asked gently, trying to hide his own fear

"Good, Thomas said quickly. "Rosie escaped"

Silas's stomach flipped with dread. "I was just told. How did it happen?"

"I don't know either, Wade called me," Thomas said, "I want us to go to the station together."

Silas didn't have to think twice. "Let's go."

"We're coming with you," Theresa said, worry etched on her face.

"No, you're not," Thomas said firmly. "I want you all to stay here, please."

Silas heard the softness in Thomas's voice-almost pitiful. Everyone else seemed to notice too, and they all went silent.

"You'll let us know how it goes?" Uncle Mike asked, breaking the silence.

"Yes, I will," Thomas replied, then he turned to Silas. "Go change. Let's go. Wade is waiting for us there."

Silas nodded and returned to Ivy's room, with Ivy following. When they got inside, she gently touched his hand, and he turned to look at her.

"How are you feeling?" she asked, her green eyes full of concern, her voice tender.

His heart ached, and he placed a hand on her waist pulling her closer. It felt so good to have her love him, and in this dreadful moment, he was more than grateful for it.

"Worried," he admitted, locking eyes with her.

She didn't look away the way she used to, and it melted something in him.

"We'll get through this," she said, and kissed him.
