Chapter 317: I love you Tristan

"Are you going to stop meeting Grandpa Dante?" Noah asked recalling whatever happened after the cops took away Alphonse.

Grace was very upset after she witnessed everything that happened in the hideouts with her eyes. Not only she vented her anger on grandpa Dante but also asked him to stay away from them as she didn’t want him to drag her kids into his violent world.

Their relationship was already on bricks but after today everything went back to zero.

Tristan lay on the bed with his arms over his forehead and his eyes shut. He didn’t regret going against his mother’s words but what made him feel remorseful were the words she said to her father without listening to anything back.

He loved his mother and so did he love his grandfather. He knew how much that old man had been longing for his daughter, but his mother was too blinded by the hate she had been carrying for her father all these years that she didn’t hesitate to slit his heart with her harsh words.

He remembered Dante stopping him but it was his stubborn self that wanted to cross the line.

Pulling his body up, Tristan sat on the bed before he rubbed his face and heaved out a sigh." For now yes, until everything settles down" he said looking at the two.

He was so drained out that he forgot about Sandra’s reality and how they had caught her red-handed.

Pulling out his phone, he turned it on and was shocked to see numerous messages and missed calls from Gabriel.

"Shit" he cursed catching both Karl’s and Noah’s attention.

"We forgot about Gabriel" he mumbled and quickly called him back but this time, his phone was turned off.

"Should we tell him everything about Sandra? We can’t let him keep in the dark" Karl said and Tristan agreed to him but before that, they had to do a few things.

*****

Sandra left the venue after confronting Gabriel. She told him that she always liked Tristan and she thought it was his idea to surprise her. She even told him that she wished to confess her feeling for him but then everything turned different.

She knew Gabriel was finding it hard to absorb her words but she didn’t want to keep him in the shadows and hoped he would understand her.

Walking a few distances away, Sandra was about to hail a bus back home when suddenly her phone buzzed and she quickly slide open the screen and found a message from the same unknown number on the notification bar.

Her grip on the phone tightened as she blankly stared at the screen and without wasting any time, she turned and walk in the other direction that lead her to the university.

After fifteen minutes of walking, Sandra finally reached the campus. Her eyes were busy observing the place when suddenly her phone buzzed.

Pulling out her phone she read the message that popped up once again.

[ Meet me on the same floor where you last met Alexa] the text said, making Sandra fume in rage.

The floor was sealed by the cops because of the investigation purpose and this blackmailer was asking her to invade that space.

Sandra was hesitating to take a step ahead but when she recalled the image she received from the same person blew her mind.

"No, I can’t get caught. I will have to negotiate" she mumbled to herself and took a few deep breaths before she walked through the huge gate and reached the main building.

Since it was a day off, there weren’t many people around but only a few staff members who worked half days.

Quickening her steps she entered the building. Luckily, the security didn’t question her and let her step in and without looking back, she kept marching ahead until she reached the top floor of the building.

Sandra cursed her fate for being this careless. If not for her one mistake, she wouldn’t have been here.

Standing in the corridor next to the stairs she looked around to see the person. Her grip on her bag tightened when she saw a shadow emerging out of the pillar and her heart dropped when looked at who the person was...

"T-Tristan"

"Yes, it’s me," he said as he approached her, with his cold, sharp eye.

Sandra was at loss for words and her mind freeze for some time. ’The person who had been threatening her was none other than Tristan but how did he find it’s her behind Alexa’s death’

There was a pin-drop silence between the two with only the sounds of his footsteps that kept approaching her. Standing a few distances away, Tristan gawked at Sandra with his emotionless eyes.

This was the first time she had seen the different side of Tristan and that made her feel nervous like hell.

"How long have you been planning to hide Sandra and why did you get killed an innocent soul," Tristan asked looking straight into her eyes.

He couldn’t believe Sandra who had been kind and loving all this while was only disguising her true identity.

The moment he fell suspicious about her, Tristan did a background check and the details he found had been an eye-opener for them.

Being the daughter of the drug dealer had caused them a lot of misery. Not only her mother lost her mind but even as a child Sandra had to suffer constant bullying.

He could somehow understand why was her behavior so twisted. But one thing that surprised him was her dedication to her family. Even after facing so much still, she did give up and worked hard. Even though her emotions were just masked, her intentions were clear.

Sandra fluttered her eyelashes slowly absorbing Tristan’s words and quickly shook her head." I-I didn’t do anything. It’s a trap. Someone is purposely trying to drag me into this mess"

Tristan could see the fear in her actions. She was again lying, even though she knew she was caught red-handed.

"You got the wrong information, Tristan. It’s not me who killed Alexa. I was just passing by. I have nothing to do with her" Sandra had no clue what she was blabbering. All she wanted to do was to escape this place clearing her image in front of Tristan.

Tristan let out a chuckle and pulled out his phone waving in front of her eyes and said," So the text you send me has nothing to do with this crime"

Sandra’s eyes widen in shock but she quickly compose herself and shook her head once again denying everything.

Tristan could only chuckle humorlessly. He couldn’t believe she was lying right in his face.

"Okay, you won’t agree right, then I have only one choice left to make you accept your crime. I will give this proof to the cops and they will take care of the rest" his words pulled the ground under her feet and Sandra panicked.

"No Tristan you can’t" she rushed towards him and hugged him tightly.

Tristan was caught off guard by her sudden embrace. He tried to push her but she kept holding him tight.

"Why aren’t you trying to understand? I can’t accept my crime. It will only separate us and I don’t want to be away from you. I love you so much Tristan" Sandra had lost her sanity the moment she heard those words from him.

She couldn’t let him disclose her crime as she couldn’t afford to separate from him. He can’t ruin everything.

Tristan stood there like a statue as he tried to grasp her words. Her words kept ringing in his mind turning everything into a mess.

Pulling away, she cupped his face and looked at him with teary eyes." Everything I did was all for you Tristan. How can I let any girl lay their eyes on my man" her words held a glint of warning but there was also a tint of desperation in them.

She sounded like a maniac to him. A completely different person from the original one. The way she held him made him feel disgusted.

Tristan never liked those people who hide their true intentions behind a good façade. Lying was something he couldn’t handle and Sandra was lying straight in his face.

Looking at her with pure hate, Tristan pushed her away from him as her touch burned him. He truly cared for her as a friend never once giving her any false hope, then why would she go to such an extent for him?

Stumbling to her feet, Sandra looked at Tristan with shock. The gentleness she had always seen in his eyes for them was now replaced with hatred.

"You can’t push me, Tristan. I do love you a lot, if not I wouldn’t have rejected Gabriel" another word from her left him speechless, and he stared at her in disbelief.

"He said he liked but, but I decline it. How can I say him yes when I love you" she reached her hand to touch him but he jerked off.
