Chapter 227: You will be punished

Alice pursed her lips as she tried to fight back the tears welling in her eyes. After all that happened, he was still worried that he scared her or not.

She so wanted to deny it but subconsciously she ended up bobbing her head and before she could know it, Noah pulled her and made her sit on his lap.

Alice was caught off guard when Noah suddenly lifted her and she landed straight on his lap with his arms circling around her waist as he made sure she sat securely within his hold.

"I’m sorry" his voice slurred and he rested his head on her shoulder submitting himself to the bottle he emptied in his anger.

Alice blinked her eyes clueless about his action, but then her eyes fell on her surrounding. The number of bottles he finished until she found him was enough to shake his thoughts.

Bringing her hand up to the back of his head, she slowly brushed his hair and heard him groan.

"You shouldn’t have beaten the guy Noah. He would’ve died" she purposely bought up the topic just to see if he remembers what he did inside the club.

"He deserved that" he mumbled and slowly pulled back his head from her shoulder and stared into her questioning eyes.

"If he had managed to kiss this lips of yours, I would’ve shot him dead" though he was under the influence of alcohol, still his words sounded like a threat and Alice could feel the chills.

The way his eyes bore into her screamed that he wasn’t joking but was firm in his words. If she didn’t step in between to stop him, the man would’ve been dead by now.

He dare to touch his girl and that was where he made a mistake. Noah was very possessive of the people he loved because there were very few who gained his trust.

But Alice, she wasn’t just anybody with whom he would play around. She was his girl, his treasure, his entire life and no one means.... no one was allowed to lay their filthy hands on her.

Alice let out a satisfying chuckle. She was expecting to see him back to normal because these tears and pouty crying faces didn’t suit him at all.

Her smile made him crease his brow," You think I am joking?" he said narrowing his eyes.

Alice couldn’t help but flick his forehead, amazed at how the man still managed to look cute even after crying so much.

"No, I don’t take your words as a joke," Alice said the truth. Never for once, she had taken his words lightly. Even if he would prank her she would still consider it valid.

"Okay now, let’s get you to bed. You have been drinking too much" she said and tried to climb off his lap but he tightened his hold on her.

"Hmm... No. I don’t want to sleep. Let us be like this, in each other arms" Noah didn’t want to let her go from his embrace. Her being close to him was enough to suppress the madness he went through a while back.

"It’s freezing cold here Noah. Do you want us to turn into ice" Alice patted his shoulder, as she tried to free his grip around her waist.

Noah still kept acting like a stubborn kid who wasn’t ready to listen at any cost. Helpless, Alice stopped struggling and thought for a minute when an idea popped into her mind and she smiled.

Slowly patting his arm, she made him look at her before she pushed his face aside and whispered into his ears," How about e warm up together inside the room" pulling back Alice smiled playfully and watched his eyes grow wide open and he bobbed his head flashing his killer smile.

"Come let’s warm up together" saying they both got up before he carried her in his arms and walked inside the house.

Ashley kept wriggling, punching Tristan’s back, asking him to drop her down but he turned deaf and carried her back to their room before they caught multiple eyes staring at them.

"Stay still Ash" Tristan raised his voice a little and she stopped wriggling in his arms.

Tristan thought she finally gave up and the corner of his lips curled up into a victorious smile but it soon drop when she started crying.

"Waaah.. you shouted at me" Ashley’s sudden crying made him loosen his hold on her and she took the chain to climb off his shoulder.

Ashley kept sniffing stumbling on her feet to stand straight leaving Tristan speechless.

"I-I d-didn’t shout" Tristan tried to justify his action. Yes, he raised his voice but that didn’t mean he shouted at her. It was only to keep her still until they reach their suite.

Ashley wiped off her tears and looked at him with a cute frown mar on her forehead," You are not allowed to sleep with me" she said and started walking the way they just walked before.

Tristan’s jaw drop and before he could process he watched her walk the wrong way.

"Argh!... " annoyed with himself Tristan ran and this time instead of lifting her on his shoulder he carried her in bridal style.

Outside the restroom, Karl patiently waited for Gwen to step out. After she threw up everything she consumed, he quickly took her to clean herself. Thankfully she didn’t argue and followed his instruction carefully before she stepped inside the ladies’ washroom.

Getting restless with each passing second, Karl kept glancing at the closed door, hoping she to step out. But even after fifteen minutes passed by she wasn’t to be seen.

Not able to stand still, he dashed towards the before pushing it and stepping inside. Luckily he didn’t see any woman walk in or out which was kind of a relief.

As soon as he walked in, his eyes search the entire restroom and his eyes came to pause at the corner sink where Karl stood leaning against the marble wall.

The tap she used was turned on and the water kept flowing but the girl didn’t seem to use it and just kept swaying with her eyes close.

"Gwen.." worried he called her name and quickly rushed to her side.

Sensing the familiar voice Gwen snapped out of her sleep and pulled herself straight before she turned her attention to Karl who marched to her side.

"Are you okay?" he asked knowing the obvious but still it came out of habit.

Knowing how careless she was he couldn’t stop himself from getting worried for her.

"Karl, everything is spinning," she said as she tried to hold his hand but it kept dropping to the other side.

Heaving out a sigh, Karl quickly cleaned the little stain on her dress, before he picked her up and walked out of the restroom.

It was better for them to stay in their suite to avoid further trouble. With this thought in mind, he took her back to their suite.

After bringing Ashley inside the suite, Tristan straightaway took her to the bed before he carefully placed her on it.

He quickly removed the heels she wore and kept them aside and then removed his jacket tossing it on the couch.

Ashley kept on smiling looking at the ceiling above and that caught Tristan’s attention back at her.

"What are you smiling for?" he asked before he took a seat by sitting next to her at the edge of the bed.

Averting her eyes, she said," I love you" this was unexpected, but it melted Tristan’s heart within a second.

Quickly making his way to the bed, Tristan lay next to her," Say that again?" he asked her to repeat what she said and saw her smile before she again said it," I love you... so...so much"

Tristan couldn’t stop smiling. This version of Ashley was loved by him though she would give him hard times nevertheless, he loved her anyways.

He kept looking for some time trying to capture her reaction and asked," Did my actions hurt you"

The smile on Ashley’s lips falter and she turned herself to face him before she nod with a cute pout.

"I felt like my heart break into thousand pieces" she expressed without holding back and Tristan’s face crumpled realizing how much his stupid action hurt her.

"I can’t imagine seeing you with someone else Tristan. It hurts" she said slowly moving closer to him and pushed him flat onto the bed before she climb on him and hugged him tightly.

"I wanted to pluck that eyes of hers that kept staring at you mischievously," she said propping her head up and watching him smile.

"Is that so?" he asked amused at how she didn’t hold back her dislike.

"You are mine Tristan" she declared like a kid who didn’t like sharing her things with anyone.

"Okay... I get it." he smiled watching her declare her possession to him and now he felt like her being on the same page as him.

He too could imagine her being with someone else which was why he took the chance to pursue her after she broke up with Greg.

"So never let any ladybug fly around you-" she warned and his eyes widen as she slowly moved up toward his face until their lips were an inch apart," Or else, you will be punished "
