Chapter 42: Better

Jane fumed when she heard Ashley degrading Greg. He was her man now and she won’t let anyone bad mouth him.

"Mind your words, Ashley! You can’t talk anything about my man" Jane slammed her fist in anger on the table asking her to stop her words.

Ashley smirked as she saw how foolish Jane was to think that the man was genuine enough to stick to her.

"Good for you," she said ignoring her fuming gaze, and asked lazily," Did you call me to ask this?" Ashley didn’t wanted to waste her time listening to her my man story. She wasn’t that vacant person to leave her work and listen to her stupid words.

Jane saw Ashley’s rude behavior toward her and felt the urge to so and slam her face just so she could vent her anger. She knew Ashley had a sharp mouth that would silence anyone but she didn’t expect her to be this rude towards her when she was at fault.

Ashley who had her eyes on the woman in front of her knew she was very desperate to show her anger towards her but was restraining until her work was done. But she wasn’t a fool to not know with what motive she had come to meet her.

She waited for her to speak and when she didn’t, Ashley stood up and took her handbag with her, and said," I think there isn’t anything important that you want to talk about, so I will take my leave" saying she turned and was about to leave when Jane’s voice stopped her.

"I didn’t know you would fall so low that you will take your revenge by attacking someone’s profession" her words made her stop and she turned back with a smile.

"Which profession you are referring to, the one which he climbed with success using my name. Sorry to correct you but Greg would have been a struggler till now if he didn’t use me to climb the success ladder. So keep that professionalism to yourself and next time don’t waste my time asking me to meet you" saying she turned and walked away from there leaving Jane with anger.

Her eyes turned red as she tried hard to calm her boiling blood but burst slamming her hand on the plate hurting herself instead. Jane ignore the shocked eyes and kept staring at Ashley’s retreating figure," You will pay for this Ashley. I won’t leave you this time" she muttered and got up from there leaving in a hush.

*****

Ashley left the fuming Jane inside the restaurant and walked to her car. Before she could step inside she heard her phone ring and just looking at the caller’s name a smile crept on her lips.

"I was waiting for your call" Ashley’s face bloomed talked to Tristan.

"Is it then would you mind turning to your left" his words puzzled her but she did what he said and turned to her left only to him standing near his car that was parked on the other side of the road.

Tristan waved his hand as soon as their eyes met and said," Come with me".

Without any hesitation, Ashley nod her head and ended the call before informing the driver to leave and crossing the road to walk toward his parked car.

Stepping in they both drove from there unknown to the eyes that stalked them.

Jane who storm out of the restaurant after Ashley left saw her step into the car which wasn’t hers and frowned.

"Is he the same guy from the picture which Greg showed me" she muttered and stepped into her asking her driver to follow their car.

Jane was curious from the moment Greg told her about Ashley having an affair with someone and they had to take advantage of that fact just misleading the audience about their breakup.

Though the picture wasn’t clear but just with one glance, Jane could tell the man was handsome and now she wanted to see who Ashley was seeing this time.

*****

Inside the car, Tristan looked at Ashley who sat next to him without speaking a word. He rushed to her as soon as he learned she had gone to meet Jane. He didn’t want her to face any problems because the people around her didn’t have good intentions toward her.

"I thought you would be pouncing on me after meeting me after a long time" Tristan fake his anger and folded his hand huffing like a kid.

Ashley who heard him couldn’t help but laugh as she saw him complain like a child and she reached to pinch his cheeks," Ow... don’t do that" he flinch moving his head behind and stopping her from pulling his cheeks.

Ignoring his warning she still reached and pinched his cheeks making him frown.

"Cute.." he heard her say and the next moment he pulled her close by her wrist and saw her eyes widen in surprise.

"Call me cute again and I will show you how horny I can turn the next second" he smirked when she blushed, blinking her eyes like a little kitten.

She was so easy to get distracted, he thought before he leaned closed and broke her trace by sealing her lips.

Ashley was caught off-guard when she felt his lips touch her and the very next moment she forgot what they were talking engrossing her mind completely in that one mind-blowing kiss.

Tristan switched on the button to his right, putting the partition between the front seat and the back not allowing anything to be visible to anyone’s eyes. He knew he wasn’t going to go easy with the woman while he devour her mouth satisfying his hunger, didn’t wanted anyone to invade their private moment.

The licking sound of their kiss echoed in the back seat as the couple was completely immersed at the moment forgetting about everything. Slowly crawling onto his lap Ashley wrapped her arm around his neck to have better access to his mouth and kissed him back with the same urgency.

They did get to see each other the entire day and that somehow ignited the yearning they felt for each other.

After meeting with Jane Ashley wanted to divert her mind but before she could do something Tristan stood in front of her and the uneasiness inside her heart vanished as soon as his smiling face came into her view.

Tristan who found her sighed as she pulled back after the never-ending kiss and rested their forehead together calming their unsteady breaths.

"Are you okay?" he asked finally breaking the silence that bothered him the moment she stepped into the car.

He knew the conversation between her and Jane had somewhat affected her mood. She was trying not to lash out at them but her resistance was somewhat affecting her internally.

They had broken her trust in such a way that it pierced her heart in such a way that she could barely control her anger against them. She might tell her heart that their betrayal didn’t bother her but deep inside her heart she had trusted them blindly and yet they decided to hurt her.

Ashley nodded her head and hugged him burying her face in the crook of his neck and inhaling his cologne to calm her nerves. She might look okay from the outside, but inside she was still fragile.

One thing Tristan had come to find about Ashley that was she like to be hugged whenever she would feel low.

Wrapping his arms around her he held her securely in his embrace and let her stay like that. Lightly brushing her back he saw her body calm down and she finally pulled back staring into his deep blue eyes that looked back at her with love.

This kind of love she always wanted in her life which she couldn’t get from Greg was given by Tristan. She wanted to laugh at her stupidity to believe in Greg’s every lie that she didn’t realize how badly she was getting herself trapped in his fake love.

"Sorry I didn’t mean to-" her words were cut by Tristan before it was completed.

"You can always rely on me, Ashley. I will be there for you whenever you need me" his words were gentle as he cupped her face with both his hand and looked into her vulnerable eyes.

She can act all strong in front of the entire world but in front of him, she can show her weakness. He wouldn’t judge her.

Ashley was so touched by his words that her tears rolled down from her eyes and she broke that strong wall she build in front of her heart just to hide her pain.

Tristan let her feel relief and wiped off her tears after she was done. He didn’t want her to carry any baggage of her past that would hurt her unknowingly.

"Better?" he asked still cupping her face and saw her nod her head.

While the couple inside were busy comforting each other the car behind them lost track as the driver speeded the car leaving her car behind.

"Dammit!!" slamming her hand on the seat she looked at the road ahead and could find the car which she saw Ashley get in.

"How can you lose them" she yelled at the driver who flinch at her scary scream.
