Chapter 41 Chapter 41 " What do you mean dated my husband before ? " Ivy asked , aware of the heat on her cheeks and the panic in her voice . God , she sounded so stupid . " Dated , you know . Smashed . They were an item - they fucked , " Sally explained , oblivious of the pain building in Ivy's chest . Ivy tried to act indifferent . But her heart wouldn't stop pounding . " I'm sure it's all in the past now , " Sally said , placing her hand on Ivy's shoulder as if to console her .

" Yes , all in the past , " Xia agreed . Ivy faced the mirror , seeing the pink rise on her checks . " I wonder what else I don't know about Silas , " she murmured , biting her lips . " Well , " Xia began . " Your husband has- " " Love for you , " Sally interrupted her . From the mirror , Ivy saw Sally eye Xia . She looked away , the pain banging in her chest . Why the hell was she feeling this way ? It wasn't as if it was a real marriage .

Why was she feeling like a real wife who got cheated on ? " Shall I begin ? " Sally asked , smiling at her through the mirror . Unable to speak, Ivy nodded . Her eyes drifted to the Cartier wristwatch , and a thought crossed her mind . Damn . She was such a fool to think every time Silas gifted her , it was meaningful . That was his way of playing off the guilt he felt . He'd do terrible things , and then give her expensive gifts to feel better .

Two gifts at a time meant he had done something terrible again - like appoint his ex - girlfriend to be in charge of her styling . She wanted to yank the wristwatch off her hand and throw away the necklace too . But she couldn't - not with Sally and Xia around- they lived for gossip . " Mrs. Stone ? " Sally's voice broke her thoughts . " Huh ? " Ivy blinked , shifting in her chair . " Sorry , what did you say ? " " I asked who did your hair , " Sally repeated . " Oh , it's Monica .

My friend , " Ivy replied with a smile . " Well , she did a great job , " Sally said , running a hand through Ivy's hair . " Is she a professional stylist ? " " I don't know , " Ivy shrugged . " I've never asked ." " It's just me and you today . My assistants are not around . Honestly , I told them not to come . I didn't know it was you I was styling today . " " Oh okay , " Ivy said flatly . Sally began to comb out Ivy hair . " So , tell me - how was it with you and the other Ms Stone ?

I heard you pushed her , and she had to go to the hospital to fix her legs . " Ivy raised her brow . " Who told you that ? " " Oh , you know . Gossip . " Sally said , smiling . She couldn't believe the false news had been circulating . " Rosie didn't go to the hospital for anything . " " Oh ! " Sally exclaimed , her eyes lighting with delight . " But you pushed her ? " " I did . " She nodded . There was no point denying it when it was already in circulation .

The least she could do was to revamp the lie . " Damn , I knew you had it in you ," Sally said , laughing . " But I heard your husband got angry at you . Poor thing - guess it's his sister - in- law over his wife , huh ? " 1/3 Chapter 41 Ivy knew Sally was just talking for conversation sake , but somehow the statement revived her anger towards Silas . She clenched her fists , wondering why she was even feeling this way in the first place .

" It's good to stand up for yourself so others don't take advantage of you , " Sally said , still working on her hair . " You know , one- " " How long will this take ? " Ivy interpreted , already tired of the conversation . She just wanted to be left to her thoughts , away from Sally talks . A small blush deepened on Sally's face , and Ivy felt guilty for her embarrassment . " Oh , soon , " she said with a smile . " Let's go wash it .

" Sally averted her gaze as Ivy stood up , making her feel even more terrible about herself . She sat gingerly at the wash station , allowing Sally to do her things . Once they were done , they went back to the mirror side . Sally was drying her hair when the door opened . The lady that had brought Ivy there popped her head in . " How's it going ? " " Almost done ," Sally said flatly . " Alright , please faster . Ms Salvatore is already here ," she said and shut the door .

Ivy didn't expect her heart to leap the way it did , but it did , with eagerness racing through . She couldn't believe she was eager to see this Aaliyah Salvatore . " You know that lady that left , " Sally said suddenly . " Rosie Ivy was spooked by the statement . " Oh my ! " once threw a pen in her eye ." " Yup ," Sally nodded . " Speaking of Rosie , did you know Kim and Rosie were friends ? " She leaned forward and whispered .

" A friend of mine said that after Kim betrayed your husband , she sold the red gown to Rosie . " " Wow ! " Ivy's eyes widened . " That's why Rosie had the gown , to think she even kept such a gown is despicable , " Sally said , frowning , " That's terrible , " Ivy said , shaking her head in disbelief . " I guess ," Sally said , fixing some curlers in Ivy's hair . Soon Sally finished with her hair , and Xia came to do the makeup .

When she was done , Sally called back the lady , who then directed Ivy to another room down the corridor . " Ms. Salvatore is in here , " the lady said , gesturing to the door . " Once you are done ma'am , please join us in the white room for the photoshoot . " She pointed down the hall . " Alright , " Ivy nodded as she watched the lady go . She swallowed the sudden lump in her throat and pushed the door open .

The room was cooler than expected , and a young woman with bouncy black hair sat by the window . She turned to face Ivy and smiled . " The famous Ms Stone . It's nice to finally meet you ," she said , standing up to greet Ivy . Ivy swallowed again as she took in Aaliyah Salvatore's appearance . She was a tall woman , with smooth bronze skin that paired perfectly with the flowy golden gown she wore . God , she was gorgeous , and Ivy felt a pang of unexpected jealousy .

This was the kind of woman Silas would definitely date - a woman that looked like a goddess , one that would compliment any man . " Nice to meet you ," Ivy said , moving to the chair . Aaliyah walked over to the rack of clothes . " Your husband mentioned the diamond necklace he gifted you , " she said , glancing back at Ivy . " I'm thinking an emerald gown would pair perfectly . " Ivy felt anger surge through her . Why would Silas talk to his ex - girlfriend about a gift he gave her ?

And the guts of Aaliyah to talk about it casually like it's nothing . " What do you think ? " Aaliyah turned to her . " This should go , " she stretched out a long beautiful emerald gown . 2/3 11:54 Chapter 41 Ivy's jaw clenched . " I think it's weird that my husband is talking to his ex about a gift he gave me . " Aaliyah laughed softly , unbothered . " I'm more than just Silas's ex now - I'm a friend . " Aaliyah's casual tone made Ivy even more mad . " Still . That doesn't mean it's right .

" Aaliyah shook her head as she walked to the couch . She dropped the emerald gown on it . " I'm not doing this with you . I can't deal with a jealous wife . You can style yourself , " she said and sauntered out of the room . Ivy blinked , her heart racing from Aaliyah's attitude . 3/3
