A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 161

"Welcback to life, my friend"

Cole shifted, his eyes opening slowly. Pain moved through every part of his body, and when he tried to sit up, a

sharp stab near his stomach made him gasp and fall back

"Easy now," Green said, standing up swiftly and rushing to his side. "Take it easy"

Cole gritted his teeth, waiting for the pain to fade away. But it didn't go away immediately. It blinded him for a

moment, and he held his stomach as he shut his eyes tight.

"Sorry," Green's voice was soft as he placed a hand on Cole's shoulder.

It was when he felt the bandage around his waist that it triggered smemories. He remembered Kim, Gen

He remembered Ivy, Rosie, and then the knife.

He opened his eyes and took in his environment. He was in the hospital, on the bed, surrounded by bouquets

and get well soon cards.

He turned to his friend. Green rarely cout for anything, and the fact that he was here meant a lot.

"Green..." Cole murmured, his voice cracking.

Green squeezed his shoulder gently, a smile spread across his face. "I'm right here."

"Thank you." Cole winced as he tried to sit up again, this tmore slowly. He exhaled in relief when he found a

stable position.

"Your cousin and aunt cby. They left not too long ago with your dad," Green said, settling back in the

visitor's chair.

"Oh, cool. And Ivy?"

"I haven't seen her since | came," Green said.

"Okay," Cole said, trying to hide his disappointment.

Ivy was still pissed at him after everything and it made him a little sad. Still, he didn't regret jumping in front of

her and taking the knife. He just wished that was enough to mend their broken bond.

"I don't know if to call you a fool or a hero," Green said, crossing his legs.

The comment caught Cole off guard. He chuckled but immediately winced from the pain.

"| can't believe you went to confront the culprit and almost got yourself killed."

"It just happened," he said with a lopsided smile. “Besides, it was eitheror Ivy, and | couldn't let that

happen."

"Big brother duties, huh?" Green teased.

He chuckled. "You know."

They both went silent for a while before Green spoke again. "How are you feeling though? With everything?"

"| just woke up, can't really tell."

Green laughed, uncrossing his legs. "Clown."

Cole smiled faintly, but he couldn't seem to shake off the fact rivat toy wasn't here. He reached for his phone on

the table cluttered with nylon bags and gifts. He unlocked it and his heart fintrered when he save a miei call from

Ivy

Relief flooded his chest before settling in his stomach. His sister cared about him, and made him almost better

already

He saw other missed calls and discovered that his phone had been on silent. Just as he was about to dial Ivy's

number, the door opened.

"The hell," he gasped when Kim walked in.

"Oh oh." Green said, rising to his feet. "I'll cback later." He tapped Cole's shoulder, nodded to Kim and left

the room.

When they were alone, Kim moved closer, her expression soft. "Hi"

"What do you want? Ain't you supposed to be in jail or something?" he said, his voice tingled with annoyance.

Despite that. he looked at her.

She was dressed decently, yet he could see all of her curves. She seemed calm and her eyes shone with

something between sorrow and guilt.

"l cto

you," she said softly.

He shook his head. "I don't want to see you."

Memories of their intimate encounters flooded in his mind. His body suddenly surged with needs and he cursed

himself for

1, fit,

What was wrong with him? She had almost ruined his family, yet spart of him still responded to her

presence.

"Cole," she said softly, her hand resting on his chest.

The instant those fingers hit his chest, an electric shiver ran through him. Kim sensed it and moved closer.

"I was so stupid," she said, her mouth just inches away from his. "I allowed myself to be used by Rosie."

Her statement sent a spark of sense into him, and he cocked his head, moving slightly away.

"Then you used me."

"It wasn't intentional," she admitted, biting her lip. "I was... broke, running from home. I thought having Silas

would fix everything, so | accepted Rosie's stupid idea to taunt Ivy."

Even though his jaw clenched at the mention of Ivy, he appreciated her honesty.

Kim straightened up and sat on the chair Green had left. "I am sorry for taking advantage of you." Her voice

cracked. When she took his hand in hers, a chill ran down his spine.

"Kim..."

"Shh." She placed a finger on his lips and it took everything in him not to put it in his mouth. "I need to say this."

He nodded.

She removed her hand, and he saw the fear in her eyes as she swallowed. "I invited Rosie to Rowway Hotel b she

was coming as a friend, but... she wanted us to run away.

"| found it weird but | still believe she had a good reason for that. heart broke..." she trailed off as she broke

down in tears.

Cole's chest tightened, but he didn't reach for her. He knew she wanted to finish and he didn't want to interrupt.

She sniffled and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "I like you a lot Cole, more than | have liked anyone

else. | thought Rosie killed you, so | called the police on her. | couldn't let her get away with it."

Cole's eyes widened slightly. He hadn't known that,

"I couldn't..."

"Chere,” he whispered and she collapsed on his chest. "It's okay. You did well." He stroked her back as she

trembled in his arms.

"I'm sorry."

When she lifted her head, their eyes met. Slowly, he leaned in and kissed her.

Their tongues merged, moving together like good friends who had missed each other. But when her elbow

accidentally brushed his stomach, he cried out in pain. "I'm sorry," she gasped, pulling back.

"It's okay," he winced, trying to downplay the pain.

She batted her eyelashes. "Can | see?"

He nodded, and she slowly removed the duvet. Her eyes widened when she saw

the bandage.

"Oh, Cole," she whispered. "I'm so sorry."

He took her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "It's okay."

"Cole..." she trailed off.

He followed her gaze and realized she was looking at his erection. A blush crept

up his face, and he turned his head, embarrassed.

Kim leaned in and kissed him again, slowly this time. He melted into her,

surrendering to the taste of her lips.

She paused, her eyes searching his for permission, and he gave a faint nod.

"Yes, touch me," he said softly.

When her hands found his erection, a moan escaped his lips. She moved skillfully

up and down against his length, and he moaned loudly.

It was stupid of him to have Kim here, especially with everything she had done to

him, done to Ivy.

Yet he couldn't help it, he couldn't control his body as it responded to her touch.

He barely knew her, but his heart was already beating for her. And then the sincerity in her eyes, in her tone, as

she confessed made him crave her even

more.

When her finger circled the tip of his dick, he grunted, shutting his eyes as the sensation took over him.

"Kim..." he moaned, giving into the ecstasy. Then he came.

"You owea cum," Kim mumbled, as she kissed him.

He chuckled sheepishly, sighing with relief. Even though this wasn't supposed to happen, he was glad she was

here.

Afterward, Kim pulled back, breathless. She grabbed tissues from one of the

nylon bags on the table and carefully cleaned him up.

"There. All clean," she said with a faint smile and leaned in to kiss him one more

time.

Just as she tossed the tissues in the bin, the door opened again.

And she walked in.
