Chapter 440: Lucas Alive

Ashley watched Tristan with utter disbelief. He just said it so casually without worrying about the consequences.

"You are not going to do that" she snapped.

Tristan was confused for a second. Quickly gulping down the food he asked, "But why.?"

"Because I don’t want you to take any reckless decision and give headaches to Franklin" she expressed.

When Tristan cocked his brow she quickly explained. "We have already delayed the shoot and I don’t want any more postpones. And as far as Jennifer giving me hard times, I know how to handle her"

"But a warning is still needed. I don’t want anyone to look down on my wife. They should know whom they are messing with" he said and watched her roll her eyes.

"Aren’t you agreeing with the rumors now? Being protective and possessive are two different things, Tristan. I don’t want anyone to talk anything wrong about you"

"But what about you? Do you want me to watch her bully you" he asked crossing his hands over his chest.

"Who said I will let her bully me?" she said as her lips curled up into a sinister smile.

"I have never let anyone look down on me and you very well know that. Then how can I let her do that?"

"Don’t worry I know how to deal with women like her. She is just acting impulsive because she is insecure about me. She very well knows if I happen to win the audience’s heart, no one will look at her. She just doesn’t want to lose her fame" Ashley stated.

Tristan stared at her meaningfully before resuming his attention back on the food.

"Our Interview with Fox Feed Media is scheduled for this Saturday. Don’t worry about the shooting I have already asked Franklin to reschedule your time"

Giving him a smile Ashley cut down the steak and passed it towards Tristan. Gladly accepting it Tristan opened his mouth and took the bit.

"You are spoiling me, Mr. Knight"

"Look who’s saying it. It’s you who is spoiling me wifey" Tristan said and watched her smile on his words.

While the couple were having their sweetest time, somewhere in Country S a woman lay on her sickbed.

After running away from Tristan’s men for so long, Sandra ended up fainting on the road in front of a car. She was so exhausted that she didn’t realize that the person driving brought her to the hospital and was currently treating her.

Staring at her unconscious state, the man fumed. "How long is she going to take to wake up," the husky voice asked the doctor.

" Mr. Scott, the lady seemed to have exhausted a lot. Don’t worry, she would recuperate soon" the doctor said turning his eyes towards Lucas.

Sitting on the chair next to her bed with his arm wrapped with gauze, Lucas eyed Sandra with coldness.

For the world, he might be dead, but only a few people knew the act behind his fake death and Sandra was one of them.

Before trying to flee away, they came up with plan B instead their plan A failed. First, they wanted to run away keeping the consequences of getting killed anyhow, but for their plan B, they had to act as if they were on the verge of losing everything.

After getting shot and falling into the sea, Lucas faked as if he was dead, but in fact, he had worn a bulletproof jacket that help him survive the attack the bullet shot near his heart, but the shot he received on his arm deprived him from running too far.

But his stubbornness to survive made him finally escape from them, but that didn’t mean he didn’t execute his plan. Arranging a fake body with all his belonging, he let the cops and so their enemies believe he was dead.

Rehabilitating in his secret base, he tried looking for Sandra. He was sure she wouldn’t have failed, so he asked his, men, to keep on looking for her and bring her before Tristan’s men get hold of her.

And fortunately, one night after he failed to find her, she happened to stumble in front of his car losing consciousness. Since that day, she hasn’t opened her eyes.

Today was the fifth day and she was yet not awake and now her slumber was bothering him.

"You have to wake up soon Sandra, or else how are you going to revenge your enemies" he muttered coldly under his breath as he watched the woman sleep in front of him.

*****

[Jennifer’s apartment]

Sulking at the couples who openly went on showing public affection, made her blood boil.

"How dare they behave like that" she sneered gulping the wine in her hand and slamming the glass on the table angrily.

She wanted to replace Ashley so badly that she started creating rumors about her personal life. She knew her reputation wasn’t that good, but the way she was praised for her acting skills, made her feel insecure.

Being the leading lady, she was getting very less attention, and that bothered her to the core. But what made her feel more insecure was the man, who was also her husband, Tristan Knight.

She was so damn sure that Ashley had seduced Tristan to get into films and she wanted to take advantage of it, but in that process, she learned that they had been married for months now, and getting into films wasn’t something she did in seduction.

She thought her plan to ruin her image would succeed if she exposes that the couple are married, but now her belief was crumbling.

She knew one mistake and her whole carrier would get ruined. Yet, she couldn’t lose to Ashley. She would never let her bloom. With the rumors she had spread, Jennifer was sure her carrier was going to doom even before taking a flight.

She just has to wait how Ashley going to handle these rumors which not only targeted her but also her beloved husband.

Pulling out, her cell phone she made a call to the same person who helped her get the images.

"I want you to keep posting about Ashley and Tristan. Make sure you expose them to the point that everyone starts to hate her"
