Chapter 209: Big trouble

Alice helped Noah stand up and took him inside the house before shutting the door. She knew she shouldn’t be showing any mercy to him but the way he stared at her with hope melted her heart.

She didn’t want to feel sorry for him but when she looked at his face, she could tell that he was crying. His eyes swollen and turned red were the evidence that he had been tearing up inside his apartment.

"Go wash your face and join me on the bed" she without looking at him and turned to leave when suddenly Noah hugged her from behind.

"You don’t want to look at me now" Noah sounded like a kid who was being ignored by his mother.

Alice felt bad when his voice cracked. She knew she shouldn’t prolong this argument and have a proper talk without any silent treatment but she very well knew Noah would end up brushing that topic if she happens to forgive him.

She had to stick to her ground until he doesn’t tell her everything. Shutting her eyes closed Alice brushed off the soft feeling and said," Let go Noah" her voice came out like a small whisper.

Noah shook his head disagreeing with her words and buried his face into her neck," No, I won’t." he mumbled making it hard for Alice to stand strong.

It was really hard for her to stay angry at him, but if she wanted him to learn from his mistake then she had to be firm.

Using her hands she unwrapped his arms around her waist and turned to face him. Putting on a straight face, she looked into his shocked eyes," You know you are at fault but rather than justifying, you dare to keep it away from me. Did you take me as an easy girl whom you could fool"

Alice knew she shouldn’t be doubting his feelings toward her but to make him realize she had to use those harsh words.

Noah felt a pang in his chest when she said those words. He could see through her eyes that felt bad for using those words for him, but he still felt bad.

Noah didn’t realize how much his secret-keeping affected their relationship and Alice began doubting it.

"You think I would cheat on you?" he asked feeling broken inside. He was again on the verge of crying and would surely break down if she answered yes.

Alice watched his lips tremble and his eyes welled up in tears. ’God is he about to cry and before she could open her mouth to speak Noah burst.

"Waah..."

"....."

Alice stood there speechless when Noah started crying like a kid. How was she supposed to pamper this adult kid?

Noah fell on the floor and started flipping his hand on the floor sniffing and crying like a baby.

"I swear on you Alice I didn’t cheat. It was Tristan who asked me to befriend Natalie" Noah kept on crying without realizing that he had exposed his friend.

"Tristan asked you to do that" her words made him shut his mouth in an instant and he raised his head in shock while he still kept sniffing.

Alice felt her blood boil in anger and she kneeled pulling Noah by his collar and questioned," Noah Wayne before I throw you out of my house again... tell me everything"

Noah gulped when he saw her glare at him fiercely and before he could understand he started spilling everything.

Exactly after ten minutes, Noah ended up telling the situation leaving Alice completely in awe.

"You mean to say... someone is after Ashley and Tristan is trying to find him" averting her eyes at Noah she asked.

Like an obedient kid, Noah bobbed his head and scrunch his nose.

"But you have to promise me you won’t tell Tristan that I told you everything and not even Ashley. I don’t think Tristan told her anything" Noah couldn’t take risks. If Tristan happens to find that he told everything to Alice, then might expose all his naughty stuff to Alice that he himself doesn’t remember.

Alice creased when she heard him and smack his head

"Ow... " Noah was being bullied by Alice brushed his head feeling wronged by her.

Alice wasn’t going to let this topic slip from her mind. After all, it was related to her friend’s life and she couldn’t risk anything. But wait why were Tristan’s enemies behind Ashley and where did they come from? And who would dare to mess with The Tristan Knight after all...

After the movie date and a small candlelight dinner, Karl dropped Gwen home. Getting changed Gwen lay on her bed staring at the ceiling above.

She recalled the incident that happened in the restaurant and pursed her lip into a thin line.

’Did she still look like a teenager?’ she asked herself.

After the movie, Karl took Gwen to her favorite restaurant and ordered her favorite cuisine. Everything was fine. They spend time talking with each other while having food and when they were leaving, they happened to stumble upon Karl’s friend.

She happened to study with Tristan and Karl at the same university in country X and seemed quite close to him.

At first, she didn’t mind the way they interacted but when she asked him about his girlfriend and he turned to introduce her, the remark she gave made her kinda upset.

"I thought you’d be dating a girl age. She seems quite young" Linda the girl they stumble on said.

Heaving out a frustrated sigh, Gwen rose and sat on the bed," Yes I am young but does it mean I can date an older man"

Gwen and Karl had an age gap of five years and she thought it was quite cool. Having a mature partner was better than having an immature one. And over that, she liked Karl from a very young age.

Gwen didn’t like the way she looked at her as if she was mocking her for being younger than them and suddenly she felt insecure.

’What if Karl too likes girls who are mature and don’t act all cute and spoiled around their partners and he is just not expressing it just because he doesn’t upset me’

Gwen fell into a deep thought thinking otherwise and dropped her shoulder in defeat.

Tori had just finished her work and was heading to her room when her eyes caught the sight of the couple entering the house and she immediately hide behind the pillar watching them both head upstairs to their bedroom.

Her eyes darken and she turned to leave once the couple was out of her sight. After getting warned by Ashley, she had to be careful about her action making sure no one see her.

Reaching her room, she got changed and lay on the bed. Tori has been very cautious but was still got caught which only meant the people here aren’t that dumb to ignore suspicion, especially Ashley and Tristan.

"I have to be careful from here on. If I fail then the boss wouldn’t spare me" she mumbled and closed her eyes when suddenly her phone vibrated snapping her out of her sleep.

Getting up she bend down and pulled out her bag. Taking out her cell phone she looked at the caller.

"Max" she mumbled and quickly took the call.

"Hello," she said and her eyes grew wide when she heard the person on the other side speak.

Piper walked towards the backside of the mansion where she had seen Tori a few days back. She had been quite suspicious about her since day one but she ignored it thinking she was new and didn’t know how things work in Brown mansion.

But that day after she warned her not to trespass in the restricted area, she still went there once again.

She was now curious to find out what was Tori up to and... how can she forget to hide her cell phone. Yes, after getting doubtful about her actions Piper couldn’t believe the girl.

Carefully walking to the forbidden space, she was about to jump through the fence but suddenly felt someone hit her head from behind and she fell on the ground getting knocked out.

Max stood there watching the middle age lady falling limp on the ground when he felt someone’s presence at his side.

"Your one mistake would’ve landed us into very big trouble Tori" Max averted his eyes to the side and glared at Tori who stood there still looking at Piper.

"Take her back inside the house and make sure she doesn’t come here" Max warned and turned around leaving from there.

Max was the one who saw Piper invading their private place reached on time and knocked her out before she stepped into their territory.

They have been very cautious about shifting their entire base close to the Brown mansion so no one could get suspicious of them.

The dungeon on the other side of the restricted area was now going to be Gabriel’s secret underground place from where they would be working on how to destroy Tristan knight without getting caught.
