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.
“I have to… I…” Rosie stuttered, placing her arms around herself like a shield. “I am…” she trailed off as she ran upstairs, tears pouring from her eyes.
“Rosie,” Ivy called but Rosie didn’t stop.
She knew she was supposed to follow her, but she figured Rosie needed time alone to deal with her emotions.
Alone, Ivy decided to go find Silas. Just when she stood up, her phone rang. It was Aunt May calling.
“Hello Aunt May,” Ivy said as she answered.
“Ivy dear. Are you okay? Is it true? About Geo?” May asked in a hasty voice.
Ivy’s mind wandered to Geo and her chest tightened. She had wanted to go home and analyze everything before all of this. “Yes,” she said softly, not knowing how to feel Successfully unlocked! really related to Geo, but when she thought
about her father’s betrayal, it filled her with ang, and paina be
“Oh Lord!” May exclaimed, sharply. “Patrick never told anyone. He brought that boy home like he saved him!”
Ivy could remember how she had felt when she first met Geo. She had been excited to have a little brother, and over the years, the thought still delighted her.

“He is a liar! I am so disappointed in him” May snapped, her tone filled with anger. “How are you all coping? I’m sorry dear.”
vy bit her lip, trying to stop her thoughts from racing “Thank you, Aunt May.”
Tim on my way over to your father’s house, it’s time to have a lengthy conversation,” May said.
vy nodded even though she couldn’t see her. “Alright Aunt May.”
1 will call you later, I love you.” May said and ended the call.
it was when the call was over that Ivy realized she hadn’t asked Aunt May how she found out about Geo’s story.
Maybe Cole or Patrick told her. She tucked her phone in her pocket and proceeded to find Silas.
She went the way he did and luckily for her she saw him coming out of a room. “Silas,” she called, her voice gentle.
“Hey” Silas said with a smile, but she could tell it wasn’t genuine.
She stepped forward, observing him. “Are you okay?”
He nodded but his hazel eyes gleamed with emotions she knew he was trying hard to hide. Her heart broke at his silence and fueled with the desire to take his pain away, Ivy gave him a hug.
“Oh, ly” Silas moaned as he melted into her arms like a child.
She rubbed his back, her stomach sinking with emotions. Silas stiffened in her arms, his knee buckled.
For a moment nothing sounded.
For a moment nothing mattered.
But then Silas lifted his head, the intensity in his hazel eyes sent a shiver down her spine.
He swallowed, his hands moving to her face. “Ivy…”
His tone, his countenance all added to the feelings in Ivy’s chest and she…
She paused, her heart pounding as realization set inside her.
She loved Silas!
That was the only explanation to how she was feeling towards him, the urge to take away his pain, the urge to-
Her thoughts disappeared as Silas’s lips found hers. Without thinking, Ivy wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss.
“I love you, Silas whispered as he brought his lips to her neck.
She loved him too, but she was too hot, too distracted to say.
Before Ivy knew it, Silas had picked her up and taken her to the room he had just left. It looked like a study, but Ivy couldn’t really tell. She was too lost in Silas’s kiss.
“Baby, he moaned, slipping his hand to her waist.
Ivy clung to him, pressing herself against his length. Her legs were already hot with passion.
Silas kissed her deep and she moaned at his touch. When his hand found her nipples, they were hard and aching.
“Fuck me, Si,” she purred.
He needed no other conviction. Silas turned her around. Ivy held the table for support as she felt his hands all over her. With a single move, Silas had undressed her.
She waited, hoping to feel his dick inside her, but instead she felt his cold tongue against her clit, hungry and searching. She gripped the table tight, parting her legs so he dug farther. And he did dig.
He sucked her, his tongue tracing her core. Just when she was about to let herself go, she felt his dick inside her.
“Silas,” she moaned, her heart pounding with passion.
“Fuck!” Silas groaned as he slammed into her from the back.
He pounded her, thrusting her deeper until she felt nothing but bliss. She encouraged him, raising her legs so he could go in further.
“I’m coming.” His voice was sharp against her ears and it stirred something inside her. “Fuck, baby!” “Pound me, Si, she cried as his thrust became faster, harder until they both collapsed on the table. “Fuck, baby,” Silas said breathlessly as he kissed her shoulders.
Ivy laughed, her eyes now wide open. As she adjusted herself, her eyes scanned the room, and it hit her. Oh God
Her cheeks colored as she turned to Silas. “We did it in your…”

“Don’t overthink it,” Silas stopped her with a kiss on the forehead. “Come let’s clean up.”
She obeyed, following him into a small bathroom inside. When they were both done, the shame of having sex in Thomas’s office while he wasn’t around gripped her and she turned to Silas.
“Go out first.”
He teased her with a chuckle. “Why?”
Her cheeks burned as she gestured to the door. “Just go.”
“Okay,” Silas laughed, buttoning his shirt as he left the room.
Ivy counted to twenty, adjusting her dress and hair. She took a deep breath, her nerves steadying before stepping out too. When she got to the living room, Silas was seated waiting for her.
Ivy’s cheeks burned as she took her seat far from him, avoiding his eyes.
Silas tilted his head. “You didn’t tell me you had another brother.”
Ivy’s heart plummeted. “What?”
He gestured to his phone. “Your little brother, the one everyone is talking about.”
Without thinking, Ivy grabbed the phone from Silas and read the message. Her stomach sank; they were not only talking about Geo, they were also talking about her late mother.
