A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

The call with Theresa had been weird, but Silas shook it off as he tucked his phone into his back pocket.

He glanced around the empty parking lot, wondering how long it would take David Spence to arrive.

Standing out here with no guards nearby felt reckless, but with everything going on, it almost made sense.

"Silas Stone."

He turned at the sound of David's voice. "Detective Spence, what the hell are you wearing?"

David was dressed in a black top and jeans, looking younger than usual. He glanced down at himself and tilted his head. "What? You told me to be

discreet."

"Yes, but not to dress like a thief and have me waiting around in this dead place," Silas retorted.

David frowned. "You asked for a secret place, where else but an empty parking lot?" He gestured around. "I'm doing you a favor, Silas Stone."

"And I don't feel safe," Silas replied quietly, not wanting to keep arguing.

"You came alone?"

"No. They're scattered around, not far away," he replied.

David stepped closer, folding his arms. "So, what's so urgent that you couldn't say over the phone?"

"Family issues." Silas's thoughts drifted to Ivy and her message about Rosie. His chest tightened.

He had come here to talk about Thomas, but now it felt like that wouldn't be the only thing he'd need help with.

"Okay," David said.

"Thanks for the Geo part, by the way. My wife was grateful."

His wife. Ivy hadn't spoken to him since yesterday, and his call with Theresa hadn't helped anything.

"A lot has been happening lately," Silas said, then he filled David in on everything he knew, including his conversation with Bailey. "I need to get to the bottom of this before the FBI does. I can't afford another scandal. And Thomas... is not being honest."

Neither had he called back to apologize about missing dinner.

David nodded slowly, taking it all in. "Let me get this straight. You want me to dig into your mother, Thomas, and Rosie? You think there's a connection?"

"I know there is," Silas said firmly. "I... just don't know how... or why."

David nodded again. "I'll look into it. But I'll need more information to make this easier."

Relief washed over Silas, softening his voice. "Thank you so much, Detective." "You're welcome." David offered a fajnt smile. "I'll get back to you soon."
