Chapter 297: Secret

Inside the hospital room, the magistrate was already waiting for the groom along with Noah’s friends. On Alice’s sudden call, both Tristan and Ashley rushed to the hospital where they learned about their marriage.

"Where is the groom" the civil officer who was summoned on an urgent call asked.

"I am here" suddenly the door flung open and Noah marched in followed by Sky with a broad smile on his face.

Completing the formalities, the officer declared Alice and Noah as a couple and soon left from there.

Holding the marriage certificates in his hands, Noah was grinning widely. He recalled Alice’s words when she stated her condition. She wanted to get married before they took care of their enemies.

"That was unexpected of you two. You both surprised us" Ashley said looking at the couple in disbelief.

When Alice called them, her heartbeat accelerated at the thought of something unfortunate. She literally kept pestering Tristan to drive quickly to the hospital but when they reached there, all her fatigue flew out of the window when Alice suddenly announced their marriage.

Being with Noah had somehow affected Alice’s brain cells too. Don’t they say when a person loves someone o deeply that they started behaving like them.

"I was surprised too" keeping the cards safely inside the pocket of his suit, Noah then looked at Tristan.

"But for now, we need to keep this marriage a secret" he further stated.

Now that he had already executed his plan, they had to be a little cautious making sure no one can learn about their secret wedding.

"I’ll take care of it" Tristan assured.

Spending some time with their friends soon Tristan and Ashley drove home. It had been quite late and Ashley began to feel sleepy. On their way home, she fell asleep with her head resting on Tristan’s shoulder.

Once reaching home, Tristan made sure not to wake her up and carried her in his arms to their room and carefully placed her on the bed. He then removed her heels and placed them aside before he pulled the duvet and tucked her into bed.

Tomorrow was going to be a big day and he had to prepare himself for that. He knew Ashley would get upset with his decision but he would manage to make her understand. And for Gabriel, it would be a surprise and a reminder that Tristan Knight isn’t someone he could fool with.

Pulling out his phone, he texted Karl a few things about tomorrow before he changed and joined his wife on the bed.

"I am sorry but I don’t have any choice" mumbling next to her ears, Tristan apologized beforehand and placed a soft kiss on her cheeks as he pulled her closer and closed his eyes to sleep.

The next day, Ashley woke up but found the space next to her bed empty. "So today, it’s his turn" she mumbled in her sleepy voice and slowly opened her eyes, pulling herself up and sitting straight.

Looking around she hoped just like her Tristan must’ve kept a note for her but when she didn’t see anything, Ashley sighed in disappointment.

Climbing down from the bed, she then headed towards the bathroom and got herself ready. The script reading was at 11 and they had to reach twenty minutes prior as mentioned by the team.

Having her breakfast, Ashley drove to the Blue Kite where the script reading was going to take place. After a few minutes of driving and the car finally came to a halt with Ashley stepping out of it as she entered the tall building followed by Miley.

Apart from the director of the movie, Ashley knew nothing. Things were kept confidential and today was the day she was going to meet everyone.

Reaching the third floor of the building, one of the staff guided them to the reading room.

A spacious hall was arranged for the meeting with a big round table placed at the center along with the chairs assigned with the cast names on them.

The moment Ashley entered, she was welcomed by the renowned faces of the entertainment world who she never thought would ever work with, but she was thankful that she got a chance to show her hidden talent.

Taking the seat, she then looked at the chair next to her and the moment she read the name on it, her eyes popped out of her socket.’ Riel Scott’ that’s what it was written and suddenly everything started to make sense.

Him joining the same acting class, making sweet gestures, and giving her puzzled hints everything started to make sense. Now she understood why he was so persistent to be close to her because Riel was going to play her partner in the movie.

The turned her eyes to look at Miley who seem to be as surprised as her. There was no way Miley wouldn’t have informed her about Riel being her partner if things weren’t kept under wrap.

Ashley took some time to settle her thoughts when the door of the meeting hall opened and Riel walked inside along with his manager Max. She couldn’t stop herself from fuming when he moved his eyes to her and passed her a mischievous smile.

"Hello beautiful" taking the seat next to Ashley, Riel greeted her only to get a glare in return.

"You knew it, didn’t you," Ashley asked gnashing her teeth.

Her eyes were throwing daggers at him hoping for them to burn it alive. She didn’t fidget her brain thinking about how he found it when everything was confidential because a man like him who was living a fake identity can do anything.

She underestimate this man but now she had to be more careful around him. She had to find the reason why he was so interested in her that, he tried to manipulate her by poisoning her mind against Tristan.

Riel smirked before pulling his eyes from her. He wanted to see this shock on her face, but what made him happier was the gleam of fear that passed through her eyes.

"Can everyone hear me" Bernard’s voice snapped everyone’s eyes on him as he started to speak

"Before we start the script reading I would like to introduce you all to the producers of our movie. Please welcome Mr. Tristan Knight and Mr. Nicklaus Benjamin"

Everyone: Smile

Riel:"..."

Ashley:"...."
