Chapter 48: I trust you

Ashley had lost her rationality entirely to him, and all she could think was how blissful these moments were to her. She had never felt so protected, but every insecure thought in her mind vanished with him by her side.

Her fingers dug into his hair, and she kissed him endlessly. She didn’t want to part with him and keep him close to her to feel that love and security she had always craved.

Her mind had turned entirely blank, and all she could listen to at the moment was her heartbeat that thumped against her chest as they slowly tangled their tongue.

She could feel the taste of her cum on his tongue as they explored every corner of their cavern.

While her tongue explored his mouth, her hands unbuttoned his shirt. She wanted to touch him, feel the warmth of his body. Her hands found the button, and she started tucking them open when suddenly her phone began to ring...

"Argh!! Who has a death wish now" Tristan groaned in frustration and pulled back.

If it were just once, the couple wouldn’t have paid attention, but even after ignoring it, the phone rang again.

Ashley was too annoyed by the sudden disturbance, turned herself, and reached to the table to pick up her phone.

She creased her brows when she saw it was Miley who was calling her at this hour.

Ashley knew Miley wasn’t someone who liked to break the rules, and if she called her at this time, then there must be something important she wanted to talk about.

Tristan watched her tense expression and moved aside and removed his shirt, passing it for her to wear.

Ashley wore the shirt and climbed down the bed before picking up the call.

"What on earth had happened for you to disturb me at this hour, Miley.." Ashley wanted to keep calm, but after interrupting her sensual night, how was she supposed to be normal?

Miley, on the other side of the phone, understood her boss’s anger. She was shocked when she found that Ashley was going to marry the king of the business world Tristan Knight and she had also warned her not to disturb her with a work-related thing for some days. Yet, not even a day was completed, and she had to break her boss’s warning.

"S-sorry, ma’am, I wouldn’t have called if it wasn’t urgent" Miley broke into a sweat, imagining her deadpan face while she spoke with her.

Ashley frowned when she felt Miley’s hesitation, and she asked," What is it" her words made her spill everything out without taking any pause in between.

Listening to her every word Ashley ended the call and turned to face Tristan. He had been observing her from behind but didn’t interrupt her call in between.

She stood there folding her hands and didn’t turn at all. Miley’s words kept repeating in her mind when she felt someone’s presence next to her.

Ashley had forgotten that even Tristan was present in the room, and she wasn’t alone anymore.

Taking a deep breath, she composed her thoughts and turned to face Tristan. His calm and serene face was like a breath of fresh air for her chaotic mind. Just looking at those blue eyes every worry of hers flew out of the window.

"Do you want me to help? " his gentle yet dominating voice asked her.

Tristan had known Ashley for more than two years and in those two years, he understood when she would hide her fears behind her blank face.

Ashley saw a glint of anger in his eyes and she understood he had almost guessed that there was something serious she was hiding from him.

Ashley shook her head and smiled rubbing his arm. She had faced many problems like this at the early stage of her career and she knew it will continue with her until she retires.

"There isn’t anything that I can’t handle," she said making him frown.

Ashley saw him misunderstand her words so she immediately cut in before he says anything," Don’t take my words wrong Tristan but this is something which only needs my attention and nobody else"

"But you are my wife and I can’t stand behind watching her solve her problems alone" Tristan didn’t want her to stress alone when he was there to take care of everything for her.

"We are partners here" his voice softened as he conveyed it.

Ashley saw the worry in his eyes and she could tell he genuinely wanted to step in to help her. But, it was her fight and she wanted to play it according to her will.

"Then as partners will you trust me," she asked him instead making him quiet.

Ashley knew after Greg’s interview everyone will judge her character and that would eventually affect her career. She had mentally prepared for a day like this to come and now when it had finally arrived she can’t sand back and see her husband clear the mess which wasn’t even created by them.

Tristan couldn’t find a word to make her understand anything because he knew she had been her person from the beginning and never liked to share her problems with anyone, not even her father.

"I trust you," he said in defeat. There was no way he was going to convince her to let him help her. It was just child’s play for him to collect evidence against Greg and put all the blame against him.

"Now that like my good husband," she said pinching his cheeks.

Tristan’s eyes sparkled at the mention of the word husband. It sounds so melodious, he thought smiling like a shy teenager.

After having cleared everything Tristan decided to stay back and just see how Ashley was going to handle things that she would face ahead. He knew she was capable enough to get out of this mess with her head high and all he had to do is have her back.

Alice’s studio

After clearing the last photoshoot, Alice had completely drained out. It was so hard to handle the models who threw tantrums for nothing. If it wasn’t for her profession she would have smacked that beautiful face in her anger.

Tiding everything she walked out of the building only to remember she didn’t bring her car this morning.

"Damn... how did it skip from my mind" she cursed and pulled out her phone from her pocket before she booked a cab for herself.

It was still ten minutes for her cab to arrive, so she thought of going through her social media account which mainly had the photos she clicked.

"I didn’t realize there were so many people who appreciated my work," she said with a smile on her face when a car stopped in front of her and honk loud, startling her.

"Holy shit..." she flinched back holding her heart and cursed.

Alice looked at the car and realized whose car it was,’ Why is he here now she muttered before walking towards the car and bending down a little.

Noah pulled down the window and winked at her with a grin. He didn’t know she was such a scared cat who will get startled by a simple honk.

Alice’s lips twitched watching him laugh at her and she asked holding back her annoyance," Don’t you have basic manners. Is this a place for you to honk this loud" she yelled slamming her hand on his window frame as she could contain it anymore.

Noah was surprised by her temper and suppressed his laugh because right now the woman in front of him a like a volcano and he didn’t want to get burned in it.

"I know, but as a helpful citizen, I also know when to help a person in need" Alice got confused by his words.

"Who needs help here," she asked.

Noah heaved out a sigh when he realized that this girl was so stupid to even understand his words. Why did he even come here to check on her? he thought.

Alice who saw his depressed face wanted to ask him but was cut by him.

"You," he said pointing at her.

"Me?" she asked.

"Yes, You. Do you think there is anyone else here" he sounded irritated.

Noah felt like smacking his head somewhere. It was so difficult for him to make her understand anything. She was the first girl who he found to be having beauty but her brain, she had lost it somewhere in the middle of her growth.

Alice pouted at his words, still clueless. Why would he think I need help, she thought when her cab arrived at the location and honk.

Standing straight she saw her cab and then at the man inside the car when the sudden realization hit her and pursed her lips on her foolishness.

***

Suddenly the temperature inside the car turned cold and made Alice retrieve her attention to the man next to her.

"I shouldn’t have sent the cab back," she thought and turned her head to the other side and looked out from the window when suddenly the car stopped with a jerk.
