A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 151: His Brother, His Hero,

When Silas entered his room, he clenched his fist, his heart pounding hard. It had taken a lot of restraint to keep

himself from touching Ivy.

She looked like she hadn't slept all night, and his chest squeezed with pain.

He began to pace around his room, discomfort settling in his stomach.

"It's just a misunderstanding, he said out loud. "You're not even that hurt?

He shook his head. He wasn't even that pained, he knew Mason was a dickhead, he shouldn't have made it a big

deal

God, he loved Ivy and that wasn't enough reason to punish her all day. One night was enough he had to

apologize now

With excitement in his veins, he ran out of his room and went to hers

"lvy?" he knocked. "Ivy? Baby, I'm sorry."

But there was no response.

He stood there for five minutes before Monica found him.

"She's not home, sir," Monica said.

Slightly embarrassed, Silas turned away from the door. "Since when?"

"Smoments ago," she replied.

"Alright, thank you," he said with a small nod and walked away.

He had no idea what Cole had been doing in his house but now that Ivy had left with him, Silas was curious.

Immediately he returned to his room, he heard his phone ring. He located it on his bed and picked it up. Wade

was on the line.

"Hey Wade," Silas said, his heart suddenly pounding with dread.

Wade had been avoiding his call night and day and now that he was calling willingly, Silas wasn't sure whether to

be happy

or troubled.

"Hey, Silas," Wade said softly. "Sorry | missed your calls, | have been busy." "Okay. How is Thomas?"

Wade sighed before he spoke. "He's not doing so well, Silas. But he's ready to see you."

Silas's heart flipped. "Givethe address. | am heading there right away." Wade gave it to him. "Thanks," he

said, ending

the call.

Quickly, he changed his slippers into black shoes. When he got outside, he was surprised to see Bud.

"Hey, | thought you left with Ivy."

"No, sir. She left with her brother," Bud said.

Sadness coursed through him and so did curiosity. Why had Ivy followed Cole?

Before he got caught up in thoughts, he shook his head and turned to Bud. "You'll be driving me. Let's go."

When they arrived at the police station, Silas's chest tightened. The air was serious, unfamiliar, and it filled him

with dread to think about how Thomas was feeling.

He made his way inside, and when he got to the reception, Wade found him.

"Silas," he said. "Cthis way.

Silas plastered a smile on his face as he approached Wade, his nerves uncontrollable. "Where is my brother?" he

asked, his voice shaky.

Wade's eyes shone with concern, his voice calm. "Come."

Silas followed Wade silently down the hallway. He nodded at sofficers, keeping the smile on his face. When

Wade reached a room, he opened the door and gestured. "Go in, I'll wait outside."

Silas nodded gratefully at Wade as he entered. Thomas's head was down d when he saw Silas, he ran to hin.

"Sit"

Successfully unlocked!

Silas hugged his brother, tears welling in his eyes. "Thomas."

They rested in each other's arms for the longest time. When they finally pulled away, they chuckled.

Silas stood while Thomas returned to his seat. In barely 72 hours, Thomas had changed. He had lost weight, and

the spark

in his eyes had died.

Silas's heart shattered but he didn't show it. Instead he smiled. "How are you?" Thomas gestured around the

room. "Here Good. Sorry, | didn't want you seeinglike this, which is why | told Wade not to let you come."

Silas's stomach dropped at Thomas's tone. "So what changed?” Thomas's head dropped again. "lI am going

away, Silas. I'm sorry"

Silas sniffled, his voice cracking. Thomas had lost hope and it hurts to see his hero like this. He stepped forward,

touching Thomas's hand. "Don't say that. We're still working on it."

Thomas shook his head. "Wade couldn't find anything except..."

Silas straightened up, his muscles tensing. "Except?"

Thomas leaned against his chair, a sigh escaping his lips. "Wade found evidence that Rosie made the transfer to

Evan Graves."

Silas blinked. "What? How?"

"They found the IP address. It was different from my house and office address. It led them to a coffee shop,"

Thomas explained, his jaw setting like he was in pain.

Silas held the table for support, scared he might lose his balance.

"Wade was able to obtain the CCTVs records for that day, Thomas continued. "It had cost a lot of money, but it

had been worth it. Well, on the sday the transfer was made, she was seen in the coffee shop."

Silas straightened up, controlling his emotions. "But that doesn't prove-"

"| thought the same," Thomas interrupted, leaning forward. "But then, the day the transaction was completed,

the day the receipt was sent and even the day | allegedly gave Evan Graves the bribe, the IP address led to the

scoffee shop and each time, Rosie had been there. She never visited that coffee shop except on those

days."

Silas couldn't believe his ears. He paced around the room, anxiety and disbelief nagging at his chest. "This... is...

it is unbelievable."

"Tellabout it," Thomas scoffed, straightening up again.

"What would you do? You can't sit here for a cryou didn't do."

Thomas cocked his brow. "What do you suggest, Silas? That I tell the whole world my own wife framed me? |

don't have any other evidence aside from the IP address and coffee shop.

"And if we should begin investigating, trying to prove points. It would have been too late. The only sad part is

that she can take all of my money despite the prenup."

"You sound so off..." Silas said. "Why do you sound like you've given up?"

“Because | have! I'm not doing this anymore!" Thomas shot back, folding his arms.

Silas huffed with disbelief. He couldn't believe Thomas was giving up, this was the first tever. Silas slammed

the table,

a frown on his face. "Who the hell are you? This is not the Thomas | know. The Thomas | know would-"

"He's dead!" Thomas snapped and dropped his head on the table. The action broke Silas's heart. "He's no more,

Si," he said, his voice dropping. "I give up. I'm done."

Silas's stomach churned, pain and sadness seeping into every hole in his body at Thomas's tone. He knew he

should give up too, but he couldn't.

"Thomas," he began softly. "You can't-"

"It is done, Si. It is done, Thomas said before breaking down in tears.

Before Silas could reach for him, the door opened, and Wade ran in, his eyes wide with shock.

"What happened?" Wade asked.

Silas turned to Wade, trying to explain. "I was telling-"

"Get him out of here, please," Thomas interrupted. "I love you, Si, but this is not something you can fix."

Pain crawled in Silas's chest. "But | could try. | could-"

"No," Thomas shook his head, interrupting again. "Make sure you visitoften."

Silas's eyes burnt with tears and he turned to his brother, but Wade stopped him. "Thomas..."

Wade held Silas firmly, blocking his path. "This is a police station, Silas. Don't make everything worse."

"But my brother..."

Chapter 151: His Brother, His Hero.

"Will be fine," Wade said in an assuring tone. "Let's go."

Silas gave Thomas one last look.

Thomas waved at him, his eyes gleaming with pain. "I love you, Silas."

Silas followed Wade to the hallway, blinded by tears for a minute. "We'll win, eventually," Wade said, trying to

console him. "I'm building a case against Rosie already and we have detectives sweeping for evidence. Don't

worry, Thomas would be fine."

But he was worried. He knew the case might take eks, or wors months and Thomas would be sitting in prison till

then. His chest tightened and he clenched his fists, trying to control his pain. He needed Ivy right now. He

needed his wife.

As if on cue, his phone rang. She was the one calling.

"Baby," he said, hearing the pain in his voice. But when he heard the terror in her voice, he panicked.

"Silas... blood... Rosie."

"What?"

"Cole is... down. Mason had the... Rosie."

He couldn't make sense of anything she said. "Deep breath baby, talk to me."

She took a deep breath before telling him everything.

Silas's senses sharpened. "Where are you?"

"May Rose hospital," she said slowly, but he could still hear the fear in her voice.

"I'm coming right now," he said sharply and ended the call.

Wade turnned to him, confusion etched on his face. "What happened?"

Silas's stomach turned with a mixture of anxiety and excitement. "We have to find

Rosie and get Mason Hunter arrested!"
