A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 194

"Sir? Are you alright?" Bud asked gently.

Silas jolted, startled by Bud's voice. He didn't know how long he had been standing in the empty lot. When he finally became aware of himself, he realized

he was trembling, and the panic still sat heavy in his chest.

"I'm... good..." he managed, though his voice betrayed him. "Let's go."

Bud gave him a suspicious look but said nothing. He led the way, followed by two more guards.

Rosie's words crept into his mind-one doubt after another. Each doubt morphed into a fact, a fact he was struggling to ignore, even though something

about them felt painfully true.

He slid into the car, his thoughts racing.

How did she know he was here? How did she know about Mateo too? It felt like he was the only one sitting in the dark.

He leaned forward. "Bud, take me to the De Royale Hotel," he said, then gave the address.

Panic surged again, and he clenched his fists trying to compose himself.

It was either he had a leak, or Rosie had done something much worse like bugging his house and his phone.

Sweat broke out on his skin at the realization.

He didn't believe Rosie, she was lying. He said the line severally like a chant, hoping that would make it true.

"Are you alright, boss?" Bud asked, glancing at him through the rearview mirror.

"No," Silas said, finally admitting. He sank deeper into the seat, wiping off the sweat with his sleeve. "I think I'm being bugged."

"Bug?" Bud's voice rose in fear.

"Yes. I want every inch of the house searched. My company, the cars, everything. As soon as possible."

"Yes sir," Bud replied, concentrating back on the road.

At the risk of sounding uneasy, he bit his lips, refusing to say anything more.

Rosie was trying to drive him crazy, and he wouldn't let her.

His thoughts drifted to Ivy, and his chest tightened. He quickly took his phone and called her. Just like earlier in the day, she didn't pick up.

With anxiety swirling in his chest, he was tempted to keep calling, but he stopped himself. She was at Aunt May's place, and he wanted to believe she was

safe.

Cole had promised.

The idea of a leak in the house crept back into his mind, but he shook it off. His phone rang, and he answered it. It was an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Mr. Stone," a soft, feminine voice replied, "It's Jade."

Jade?" He searched his mind.

"Your wife's PA, sir."

"Oh," he said, then panic struck again. "What happened?"

"She told me to send you a surveillance footage, sir."

"Ah." Relief poured through him. Ivy had texted him about it, and he had completely forgotten. "I'll send you my email. Send it there."

"Alright, sir."

"Is that all?"

"Yes, sir," Jade replied gently. "Bye, sir."

He saved the number and sent his email. Moments later, he received the clip and opened it immediately.
