Chapter 101: Owe
Silas’s words made Ivy’s heart skip a beat. He knew? But how... She thought that she had hidden it well.
Looking at the certainty in his eyes, Ivy realized how foolish she was. There were obvious signs, and her softened attitude didn’t help much.
"I don’t..." Ivy began to decline her feelings when Silas interrupted, "If you dare to decline... I will have sex with you on the table. Let’s see how long you can maintain the facade then."
Ivy: (o_0)! No... this was not how the conversation was supposed to go.
Silas smirked seeing the speechless expression on Ivy’s face and continued,
"Ivy, I will make it clear to you. I love you. I can’t be without you. Earlier, I always thought that as long as I maintained the distance and respected you, maybe you would come around. But now..."
He paused at looked at Ivy’s face, which had turned slightly crimson, and continued, "I think even after I wait for 100 years... you won’t accept your feelings."
"I..." Ivy opened her mouth to argue, but Silas again cut her off, this time his eyes holding a bit of fierceness.
"Why Ivy? I have done everything that you wanted. I acted foolishly and let myself fall into various traps because I wanted to keep you safe. I endured the Ravencroft, and I even went as far as declining the obvious sign that told me you liked me. But nothing worked. Why?"
Ivy couldn’t even utter a single word. The Silas now in front of her looked completely different from the Silas she had seen before, and she sensed that something was off about him.
