Chapter 113: You made me happy

Noah tailed behind Alice like a lost puppy as they entered the building and stepped inside the elevator. All this while Noah kept kissing her hand and playing with her fingers until they reached the floor.

Walking hand in hand, Alice stopped in front of her door and looked at Noah, who kept grinning like a fool.

"What? You aren’t allowed in today," Alice said plainly.

Last night she asked him to sleep with her because she wanted some comfort from him, but today, she can’t risk anything.

After officially becoming a couple, Alice’s mind began to run two steps ahead. It was fine until they kissed, but she wasn’t ready for any higher action. She wanted to take things slow, so she had to keep him on the ground.

Noah’s naughty smile disappeared, and his eyes widened in shock," Why?" he asked and watched her leave his hand.

"Because I am very tired, and I don’t want any disturbance," she said, slowly opening the door of her house and trying to sneak in when Noah blocked her.

"No, you can’t do this. I promise I won’t do anything and hug you to sleep" Noah now understood why she was not asking him to join her because she was scared they would end up doing more than kissing.

Alice looked at him with wide eyes and heard him say," I promise I won’t take a step until you allow me" his words surprised her even more.

’How can he read her mind? Was he a mind reader’ she thought and watched him look at her with hope?

Alice thought for some time and nodded but warned," You have to keep your words," She allowed him to sleep with her.

Like an obedient kid, Noah nodded his head, rushed to his apartment, and returned after getting changed.

Alice made the bed for both of them, and soon, they hopped in, ready to sleep.

A few minutes passed, but no one blinked their eyes to sleep. Alice and Noah were wide awake but didn’t utter a single word.

"Why aren’t you sleeping?" Noah asked and turned his head to see Alice looking at the ceiling above with wide-open eyes.

Sleep was something that didn’t come to Alice that easily and Noah was very well aware of it.

Alice felt his gaze on her, and she turned to face him. She couldn’t believe she was with Noah; they were finally a couple. It was just a few days back when she told herself not to get swayed again but look at her now, this man had completely taken control of her mind and was slowly capturing her heart too.

They kept looking at each other when Noah reached his hand and pulled Alice closer to him," You can ask anything from me, Alice. I will gladly give it to you."

Alice was obliged to ask him to cuddle her to sleep. She didn’t want to look desperate, but to her surprise, he had already guessed what was going on in her mind.

Resting her head on his chest, Alice hugged him. His embrace calmed her thoughts and drifted her mind and body to sleep. He had this tendency to let sleep reach her eyes; she still didn’t know how and why she would fall asleep in his arms.

She didn’t answer him because she felt intimidated by his words. He said he would give her anything she asked for, but she also wanted to be someone whom he could rely on.

"Hmm," she hummed after a long pause and found him holding her tightly.

"You made me so happy today, Alice. I couldn’t ask for anything more" Noah was doubtful that Alice was ever going to accept his love or not. He wasn’t someone anyone could trust when it came to love because he had only fooled around all his life.

But after meeting Alice, his thoughts changed, and he began to move in her path, trying to understand and know her as a person.

Noah had found her in the most vulnerable state, and that very moment made him change his heart, and he began to fall for her.

Alice heard him clearly, and her body and mind began to relax. Her eyelid turned heavy as sleep slowly took over her, and she closed her eyes but not before answering him.

"You made me happy" her words turned into whispers, and she fell asleep.

Noah heard her snore, and he looked down only to find her fast asleep." She slept again" his lips curled into a smile, and he closed his eyes, holding her closer to him, and fell asleep.

Greg’s place

"Ashley played it very cruel" Gorge gulped his drink angrily and slammed the glass on the table.

Greg watched him fume in rage as he kept cursing Ashley for whatever she did today.

Even Greg was shocked at how the table turned against them and how they barely escaped the destruction.

"I had warned Jane to be cautious, but that stupid girl didn’t listen to me. See where her stupidity had landed her. I doubt we will be able to get her out," Gorge said and looked at Greg, who was seated absentmindedly in front of him.

"Greg, I am saying something. For god’s sake, talk, dammit," Gorge lashed, breaking his thought, and he looked at him in a daze.

Greg had begun to understand that it was useless to fight against Ashley because he knew whatever they would do would come towards them.

Ashley was that undefeated lady who had fought many battles like this before and had come out clean without any stain on her name.

"I think we shouldn’t get involved in this anymore" Greg’s words pissed the old man, and he roared, "WHAT!!! Do you even know what you are blabbering"

Gorge wasn’t expecting Greg to give up without taking his revenge against Ashley. He had been scheming against Ashley using them, then how he can turn his back on him?

Greg could tell his words had irked him but weren’t they right?

All the time they tried to harm Ashley, she had managed to come out clean, and the ones who suffered were them.

Ashley was like a tigress who liked to play with her prey before she ended up killing it. Today it was Jane who had suffered a blow from her only attack, and she knew she wouldn’t come out from that.

Greg feared that he wouldn’t end up suffering the same fate. It was better to keep a safe distance and try to build his career with a clean background, or it was hard for them to survive with nothing in hand.

Slamming his hand on either side of the couch, Greg got up and looked at Gorge, who now had a surprised look.

"We are fighting with someone we can’t win, Gorge, and you know it better than me. You have tried getting Ashley on her knees, but have you ever succeeded? No right. So it’s better to leave it," he said, turning to leave when Gorge stopped him.

"Are you scared of getting caught, Greg" his words made him smirk, and he turned to face him," There is nothing to get scarred because she knows everything. It’s her kindness till now that she didn’t take any actions against us. So it’s better to let go, Gorge, or else our lives will turn out like Jane," he concluded and turned around, walking away from there.

Gorge face changed weirdly due to anger." Let go... no way, Greg. I won’t until I get my revenge on her for humiliating me" his eye turned darker, and he pulled out his phone and made a call.

Next morning

Opening her eyes, Ashley turned and saw Tristan still sleeping. She carefully removed his hand from her waist and climbed down from the bed.

She wanted to pee, so she walked inside the restroom. By the time she came out, Tristan was still asleep, so she hopped back in bed, crawled inside the duvet, and faced Tristan as she watched him sleep.

"Why is he so handsome" she muttered, brought her hand to his face, and poked his cheeks.

Her small action stirred the man, but he again went back to sleep, making Ashley smile inwardly.

She propped up, resting her head on her palm, balanced her upper body with her elbow, and kept adoring Tristan.

As her eyes kept capturing his beauty, Tristan’s phone suddenly began ringing, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Just see who it is?" he said in his sleepy voice and turned to bury his head in the crook of her neck.

Ashley smiled at his cute action, reached her hand on his side, and picked up the phone from the side table.

"It’s someone named Dante" her words snapped him out from his sleep, and he pulled away from her and snatched the phone from her hand in a hurry.

"I’ll have to take this," he said, throwing away the duvet and quickly climbing down the bed, leaving Ashley speechless.

"What was that?" she mumbled, watching Tristan’s outrageous behavior as he rushed to the balcony.
