Chapter 15 " Thank you so much , Aunt May , " Ivy said as she hugged her . " Call me everyday , and make sure you visit me again ," May replied , her embrace tightening " I will . " Ivy smiled , gently pulling away as Bud opened the car door for her . " And don't forget our conversation about Patrick . Try to call him and let know how that goes , " May reminded her . " Sure I will . Bye , Aunt May ," Ivy waved as she entered the car . Victor started the car while Bud took the front seat .

Ivy gave her aunt one last look , waving again as the car pulled away . Once the journey began , Ivy tried to calm her nerves . She was anxious about the public announcement , if her aunt already disapproved of her marriage to Silas - hating the fact that she was going to be divorced again after the contract ends - what would the public think ? Not that she cared - but still . Another thing bothering her was her father's reaction .

His opinion was bound to cut deep , and she wondered what he would say when he heard . She had to call him . She had to face the anxiety once and for all . And for their relationship's sake , she hoped he had something good to When they got to Silas's house , Ivy thanked both Bud and Victor before heading to her room . Once in , she popped off her shoes , sitting on her bed . " Now or never , " she muttered under her breath as she reached for her phone , and dialed her father's number ..

She held her breath as the line rang . " Yes , who is this ? " her father's sharp voice came through from the other end . Ivy winced at his question . He didn't have her number anymore . " It's Ivy , " she answered , her voice a little wobbly . " What do you want ? Patrick's tone was harsh . " I already told you - I don't want anything to do with you ." Ivy bit her lip , trying to steady her breath . " I'm calling to inform you that I'll be having my wedding soon . " " Again ?

" he scoffed , and lyy could guess he was frowning . " Haven't you learned your lesson ? After everything Mason did to you ? He and his stupid family who didn't give a fuck about you ! And now you're doing it again . Who's the unlucky fellow this time ? " ivy shut her eyes to the pain in her chest that was making way to her head . She hadn't even thought about Martha , Mason's mother , or Paige , his sister , until now . What was Patrick expecting ?

That Martha would pick Ivy over her most beloved son ? That they will reprimand Mason for stealing from her ? They have never had issues with Ivy , but she knew better than to expect them to take her side . " Silas Stone , " Ivy murmured , almost inaudible . Patrick burst into laughter , his tone filled with disbelief . " Silas Stone ? Are you put of your mind , girl ? That man is not stupid enough to settle for a divorcee like you . Better wake up from your slumber .

" His tone hurt and Ivy tried to act like it didn't . " I'm serious . We became official yesterday ." There was a long pause before Patrick spoke again . " Is this some sort of a joke ? Are you stupid ? " " What ? " Ivy gasped , shocked at his tone . " If you know what's good for you , end that nonsense . If you were ever my daughter , you'd walk away from that shit ! " Patrick snapped . " You should know better than to be involved with any of the Stone brothers ! " d.it's a- " But .
