Her bluch deepened. "I don't know she shrugged. "I overheard her saying that with her friends"

Before she could finish, the door opened and Kim walked in.

Silas turned, a frown on his face "What are you doing here, Kim?"

"I was looking all over for you," Kim replied as she limped

Ivy's eyes widened. Even in the dimly lit room, Kim still looked horrible

"What for?" Silas asked impatiently

"| can't sleep without you, Silas. Your room has always been too big and scary, Kim said.

Ivy frowned, and the pity she felt for Kim turned into annoyance for a second. "As you can see | have a wife,"

Silas said, flaunting his ring.

Kim limped closer again. "Oh, Silas. I'm sure your wife wouldn't mind you staying away for just a night. | need

It was the sex, she concluded, the sex was making him think that.

"lvy?" Silas called. "Please cout, she has already left."

Ivy sighed as she went back to the room. Her eyes landed on the table and she noticed that the flowers were

gone.

"Sorry | didn't lock the door," he apologized and then his eyes followed hers to the table. "She took the flowers,

and | didn't want to argue with her. Don't worry I'll get you a bigger one."

Of course. For a man who just professed his love, his actions were stupid.

She was hurt and she didn't want him to know that. Tm going to take my bath," she said, moving to the

bathroom.

She saw the look in Silas's eyes but ignored it as she entered the bathroom. She didn't want to think about

anything so she took a quick shower and dressed in the closet.

"lvy," Silas said softly.

But she ignored him again and laid on the far end of the bed. For the first tsince Silas had moved into her

room, she fell asleep without his touch,

The next morning, Ivy quickly got out of bed, determined to bury herself in work all day. Silas was sleeping

soundly beside her, and before her body reacted to his cute face, she quickly took her bath, dressed and went

downstairs for breakfast.

As she entered the dining room, she was shocked to see a large bowl of pasta and meatballs on the table, with

Kim setting the place.

"Oh, it's you," Kim said, not hiding her disappointment. "I thought it was Silas. Where is he?"

Ivy ignored her question as she moved closer. "What is this?" she asked, genuinely concerned.

"Food, Kim hissed. 'l made breakfast for Silas, as you can see"

Ivy's stomach twisted. What was this? What sort of gwas Kim playing?

"But why?" Ivy asked, her voice slightly shaking. “He has his cook."

"Because" Kim sneered. "lI am here to take my man back, Ivy. This is his favorite food."
