Chapter 206: It’s all your fault

Tristan gasp like a dying fish, trying to form a word but failed, when he saw how hurt she was when she said those words. For someone who didn’t know her might look at her as someone who was trying to scare him with her displeasure.

But for him, she looked like a fragile girl who tried to hide her fear behind her strong face. Her eyes which looked his way had so much concern for him but she tried it hide behind her anger.

Slowly climbing down the bed Tristan walked to her and stood like a huge wall hiding her entire frame behind his body.

He could see her lips tremble in anger and fear and he felt miserable for scaring her that way. He should’ve known, it was so stupid to do in the first place.

His downcast eyes looked at her as he reached his hand under her chin and made her look up.

The second their eyes met, the anger in Ashley’s eyes was replaced with concern. He had no clue what she felt watching him lie on the floor motionless. For her, Tristan was her entire life, then how could he try to prank her this way?

As she kept staring into his deep blue eyes, she felt her concern disappear because he was all good, and then the next thing she did took Tristan by surprise.

"Owe... Ash... that hurts" Tristan hissed in pain, and took a step back staring at Ashley in horror. The pinch he received on the right side of his torso was so painful.

"You should’ve thought about it before playing this act" Ashley sprinted to him and again pinched on the same spot.

Ashley wasn’t going to spare him for making her worry for him like this. If he was apologetic then he would’ve come up with a better idea but faking his unconsciousness was something she wouldn’t forgive him for.

Walking to the other side of the bed she picked up the pillow and started attacking Tristan mercilessly. Though the blow wasn’t that hard but Ashley made sure she wouldn’t let him sneak away.

Tristan was so caught up in the act that after some time, he just laid there and took the beating without speaking a word in defense. He let her beat him until she felt better and once she was tired she slumped next to him, panting.

"Next time, dare you to do that again Tristan. I will never let you see my face-" she couldn’t finish her words when suddenly Tristan hovered over her.

"Don’t" his tone was gentle but there was a glint of warning in it.

"This punishment is way better than the one you are about to say" Tristan knew what she was going to say but he couldn’t let her finish it. Living without seeing her was equal to surviving like a dead.

Burying his face into the crook of her neck, Tristan muttered," I would rather die than not see you"

Ashley gape at his words. She now cursed for speaking those words from her damn mouth.

Bringing her hands over his back, Ashley hugged him tight and heard him say," I was scared thinking of the worst" the second he expressed his fear she understood why he reacted that way.

He thought she was in trouble because of the threat lurking around her. But she was too stupid to understand it.

Ashley didn’t say a word and just kept embracing him. She could sense the fear in his words but then why was he so adamant?

"I just missed you so much, that I couldn’t stop myself from hearing your voice" she began to tell him how the situation happened.

"I called you but you didn’t answer my calls. I thought maybe you were busy with meetings so I decided to call you back after I take a shower. But I didn’t expect you to call me just after I entered the bathroom"

Tristan propped his head out from her neck and looked at her in shock." I couldn’t hear the sound of my phone ringing due to the shower" she explained and saw him pout.

They both now knew it wasn’t anyone of their fault. The circumstances lead to misunderstanding.

"Promise me you won’t say that word again Ash. I don’t know how to live without you" he was scared of losing her and just when she was ready to utter those words, he couldn’t take it.

Ashley smiled as she shook her head and pulled him for a small kiss. She was about to pull away but Tristan wanted more as he deepened the kiss invading her mouth.

Bringing her hands from his back to his nape, Ashley slid her fingers into his hair and pulled him closer.

The couple was so engrossed in their own world when Ashley’s phone rang breaking their passionate moment.

Parting their lips, they both tried to ease their breathing. Ashley quickly reached her hand to pick up the phone.

"Ash, can you come to my place, now..." Alice stretched the last words implying that she wanted her to be at her home very quickly.

Ashley frowned when she heard the tenseness in Alice’s voice and agreed without thinking twice.

"I will be right there" Tristan who was still hovering over her frowned listening to her word.

Ending the call Ashley pushed Tristan aside and climb down from the bed," I am going to meet Alice" she turned to say only to make Tristan frown even deeper.

"Why is it always Alice who happens to spoil our romantic time" Tristan complained getting up and sitting on the bed.

Ashley glared at him making him clear his frown. "Fine... I won’t talk about her but let me drop you at her place. Even I have to meet Noah"

When Tristan entered the house he had received a text from Noah who asked him to come to his place. But he was so focused on his own plan that he plainly rejected him.

Now that Ashley was going to meet Alice, then he would tag along and see what Noah has to talk with him.

They soon left the Brown Mansion and drove to Alice’s place. Ashley entered Alice’s house while Tristan stepped into Noah’s.

*****

Alice sat on the couch with her legs crossed. Her palms were clenching and unclenching in a fist as she tried her best to calm her rage.

Ashley pursed her lips as she tried to speak up but watching Alice she just decided to keep her mouth shut. She had no idea why she looked like a lady hunter but it would be safer if she don’t poke her to speak.

After teasing Noah, Alice walked out of the bedroom. She was so upset with him that she couldn’t hold back her anger and shoved him out of the house the second he came out after the release.

"He dares to keep his mouth shut all this time" Alice couldn’t contain her anger and slammed her hand on the side of the couch.

Ashley flinched when she saw how dangerous Alice seemed right now. It will be a foolish act to come and sober her. But how was she supposed to know the reason behind her gloominess?

Mustering up the courage, Ashley finally decided to speak, silently praying that Alice wouldn’t lash out at her.

"W-what happened this time Alice?" she whispered and saw her shot a glance at her that made her smile weakly.

Taking a deep breath Alice calmed her boiling blood and began to tell everything. Ashley was also surprised by the way the situation turned out.

Last time, it was she who tried to make her understand that she might be too quick to judge Noah, but after listening to the entire thing, she felt bad for Alice.

Ashley had always helped Noah. When he came to her asking her to help him know about Alice’s likes and dislikes, she had seen the genuineness in those words and actions. Then why would come to hurt her like this?

Something seems to be wrong. Noah cheating on Alice was something she couldn’t believe right there.

While the girls were busy talking in one room, Noah on the other side kept pacing back and forth, busy biting his nails in worry.

"Can you stop doing that" Tristan who could see Noah act like everything was doomed asked him to stop stressing?

Snapping his head in Tristan’s direction Noah flared his nostril in anger and marched with his finger pointing at Tristan.

"It’s all your fault, Tristan. I shouldn’t have agreed to help you" Noah had asked him to send Karl instead of him to befriend Natalie, but both these overbearing assistant and boss weren’t ready to back down.

Now see what problem they had put him in!

Alice came to see the lipstick mark on his clothes which he forgot to wash after walking out of the club. He was busy savoring his precious time with Alice that it skip from his mind. And now... he felt like crying...
