Married To The Dying Billionaire Twenty -Five
Ivy PovOn the day of the party I was so anxious I couldn’t sit still. I kept imagining saying something that would expose me and ruin everything. If I get out of this, no more public events, ever. I promised myself.Jenna arrived at the mansion an hour before the time. Clive had called me earlier and told me she would be coming.“She’ll help you get dressed before you embarrass Ms. Sullivan.” He said. “And remember, don’t say anything. Just smile and be silent.”I ignored him. I had bigger things to worry about. Jenna looked through my wardrobe and chose a scarlet strapless dress with matching shoes and purse.“I think you’ll look beautiful in this.” She said holding it up for me.“Yes, it’s lovely.” I muttered, not really caring what I wore.But by the time she was done and I looked in the mirror, I couldn’t recognize myself. “I look good.” I muttered to Jenna.“I’m glad you like it ma’am.” She beamed.James said the same thing when I came to the living room.“Thanks,” I smiled,

Ivy's Pov I felt blood rush to my face and my heart squeezed painfully. After weeks of trying to forget this asshole I had run into him in the last place I’d hope to see him. Behind him was a woman, but it wasn’t Chloe. She was dark haired and looked rich. Was she a colleague? Or was the jerk now cheating on Chloe? I watched him and the woman walk to a table, laughing and talking. Yep, the bastard was cheating. Serves Chloe right.“Hey!” Jan exclaimed, startling me. I jumped. “Is everything okay? We’ve been talking and you’ve been staring into space.” Tracy said.“Sorry, I was just distracted.” I mumbled.“By those two, do you know them?” Jan asked, looking at Joe and his girlfriend.I shook my head vigorously.“No. Never seen them before. I was just looking at how romantic they are.” I lied.Jan rolled her eyes.“Don’t think so, he dosen’t look like he’s in her league.”“Really? Who are they?”“I don’t know him, but her dad owns the investment company, Rance.”I hid my surprise. J

Ivy's Pov I forced myself to smile at Tracy. “Hey, Tray,” I said quickly remembering the nickname. “I didn’t expect to see you here.” “I’m here to look at some cheap property I’m hoping to buy, why are you here? And dressed so casually too?” She asked looking me up and down. “I’m here to do a little shopping.” I said. “In this part of town? Since when?” She asked horrified. I realized this was not something Ivy Sullivan would do and thought fast. “I just wanted a change from expensive malls.” I stammered. “No way. Not you Vee. Or are you meeting someone?” She grinned mischievously. “No. Like I said, I just came to do a little shopping.” “Then let’s shop. Properly. Come on.” “Some other time.” I said quickly. “ “Why? Your party is days away, this is the best time. I’ll call Jan and tell her to join us. We'll take your car.” Groaning inwards, I led her to my car. She gave my driver directions to the mall she wanted to go to. Jan was waiting for us when we arrive

Ivy's Pov After the phone call I went to talk to Paul. I was just in time to see James leaving his room, shaking his head in annoyance. Paul looked up when I entered and I was happy to see his frown disappear. “You left dinner early.” I said sitting on the bed. “I was done. If you are here to convince me to go to the party please don’t. I don’t want to go. Go with Victor, I won’t mind." “You will go because no one will see your face. I’ve decided to make it a masked party.” “What? Why?” “So you can attend without feeling uncomfortable.” “But I’ll be in a wheelchair.” “So will a few others. Jenna gave me a list of some execs who’ll be attending that also use wheelchairs. You won’t be alone.” “But they are old men.” “With your mask you will pretend to be old too.” He grimaced and I laughed. “Please come. I want you to be there.” He sighed in exasperation. “Fine. I’ll go. But I won’t stay long.” “Yes!” “Why do you want me to come anyway?”

Ivy's Pov The maids were just as surprised as I was to see him there. I heard one whisper to the rest, “Mr. Sinclair hasn’t come down since the accident, what’s happening?” “Paul is everything okay?” James asked. “I heard the music I had to see who was playing.” The staff hurried out leaving us alone. “I didn’t know you’d learnt to play.” He said, moving towards me. “I did.” I shrugged. “You still remembered my grandad’s favorite song.” He smiled. “Sure." I lied. " I played it hoping you’d hear and feel better. James said you weren’t feeling very happy.” He frowned. “How were you expecting me to feel after mocking me?” He asked. “What are you talking about? When did I mock you?” “Forget it.” “Tell me.” “Last night, I could hear it in your tone and your laugh.” I shook my head vigorously. “You heard wrong. I wasn’t mocking you. What made you think such a thing?” He sighed. “Because the old you used to behave that way.” “Well I’m the new me.” He

Ivy's Pov “Why? What did I do?” I asked in confusion.“He won’t say.”“I was with him last night and he wasn’t angry with me.”“You were with him last night?" James asked.“You must have said something to upset him.” Victor added.I didn’t. I swear. We were talking and laughing till he left.”“Paul laughed?” James and Victor both asked in surprise.“Yes. He was happy, I don’t know what happened. Maybe I better go and talk to him.” I suggested.“No.” James said, “Leave him for now. Let him calm down.”I nodded and stared at my breakfast, suddenly not hungry. I couldn’t think what I’d done to make Paul upset.“Don’t worry about it,” Victor said, reading my thoughts, “he gets that way sometimes. How about we go see a movie?”“No. Like I said I want to spend today indoors.”I stood up and went outside. The smell of flowers from the beautifully kept garden filled the air. I looked at Paul’s window. The curtain was drawn as usual, but but I wondered if he was looking out at me. I smiled
