Ch. 436..440: Charmed by the Billionaire CEO Chapter 436-440

Chapter 436: Jennifer Wingmen

Sensing the dreadful silence between the two, Tristan quickly climb down the bed and dashed towards them, before snatching the phone from Ashley’s hand.

"Let me see," he said looking inside the phone.

His eyes turned cold reading the headlines about him and Ashley circulating. It claimed that the couple married for months and that she seduced him for banging such a big project.

Scrolling down the article, he saw the picture of them walking hand in hand entering the Knight’s mansion, and also them spending quality time alone.

"Aren’t these pictures taken yesterday when we went on a long drive" Ashley pointed looking at Tristan.

Tristan gripped the cell phone in his hand firmly almost breaking it. "We were followed the entire time" he gritted furiously under his breath and passed the phone back to Gwen.

"What time it was released," he asked and Gwen quickly checked the time it was posted.

"Two hours ago," she said.

Sensing the tension between the couple, Gwen excused herself. The moment she opened her phone to check the news, the first article she saw was about her brother and sister-in-law. Without wasting a second she quickly rushed to inform them.

She knew the couple was sensible enough to handle this scandal, so she simply left giving them privacy.

Turning around Tristan dashed back inside the room and picked up his phone from the bedside table and called Karl.

"Arrange my meeting with Fox feed Media" saying he ended the call and turned around to find Ashley already standing in front of him.

"What are you going to do?" Ashley asked caressing his arms. She could see the dread in Tristan’s eyes and could guess what he was up to.

"I am going to sue them. How can they write such nonsense about you" he flared unable to hold back his anger toward the company who wrote such rubbish about his wife.

"And you think it will solve everything," Ashley asked making his frown in confusion.

Pausing for a few seconds he asked," You don’t want me to do that"

Ashley watched his confused face and bobbed her head. When he didn’t react, she hooked her arm around his hand and said," We already made out relationship public. Now let’s make our marriage public"

Tristan eyed widen in shock and he swiftly turned around to face her." You want us to announce our marriage"

"Yes. It’s time for us to face every criticism bravely. There is nothing we could hide now" Ashley stated calmly.

Yes, they had announced their relationship publicly and now it was high time for them to announce their marriage. Or else people will try to defame their relationship by writing nonsense just like one the read earlier.

Tristan’s angst instantly dissipated and without any hesitation, he gave in to her words.

The news about their marriage circulated like fire. Her true fans were happy for the couple while the anti’s started commenting rubbish about their relationship, twisting every word written in the article.

Without paying much attention, Ashley reached the set and resumed her shoot. Since the director was already aware of their relationship, she didn’t stress a lot.

But those who weren’t aware looked at her strangely. But due to the policy, they remained lip-tied and continued with their work except for one of her co-stars, Jennifer Wingmen, the leading lady.

She had just joined the sets a month later from the rest of the cast. But when she heard everyone praising Ashley for her acting, she started feeling inferior.

Known as the best actress, she couldn’t let anyone talk and prioritize someone new in the field. She wanted everyone’s eyes on her. So before joining the shoot, she did her research on Ashley, hiring a few spies to monitor her.

In the beginning, it was difficult for her to get anything scandalous about Ashley, because Tristan her boyfriend would eliminate every rubbish news about her. But as time passed by she came to learn, that the couple were actually married for months, but declared to be in a relationship publicly.

So when the news was confirmed, she then started implementing her plan of gathering as much information about the couples and also hired a person whom Ashley had mistreated before to follow her.

If not for that person’s help, she wouldn’t have been able to expose the couple. Happy with the outcome she couldn’t wait to see how was Ashley going to handle the situation.

Grabbing her cell phone, Jennifer quickly made a call and to her surprise, the person answered it in just one ring.

"You did a good job. You will receive your reward soon" she said with a victorious smile.

"Tell me if there’s anything you want me to do in the future" she heard the person on the other end and simply hummed, before ending the call.

Keeping the phone back on the table, Jennifer took a final glance at herself in the mirror before she stepped out of her vanity van.

*****

[On the set]

Ashley had been ignoring the strange eyes of people around and focused on her script. She didn’t want to let any external factor spoil her mood. She had already made up her mind and knew in the upcoming future she would have to face people’s criticism of her relationship with Tristan.

As she sat rooted in her seat, she heard the commotion around. Irked by the sound, she looked up and found Jennifer Wingmen the leading lady of the film making her way on the set.

Back then during the script reading, she couldn’t meet her as the lady was busy fulfilling her commitments. Since she was already on board, and quite busy she couldn’t attend the event.

And now almost a month later, today was her first day of shoot and that with her. But the way she was getting treated wasn’t something Ashley ever expected to see.

As she kept staring her way, Ashley remembered one of her past incidents when she was new to the modeling world, doing shoots as a side model. She recalled one project that she had to do with Jennifer who was already a big star back then

She was so excited to share the same frame with one of the leading actresses, but suddenly she was replaced. Her heart was broken at the sudden change and when she asked why the sudden decision was taken, they didn’t give her a sensible reason.

But deep down she knew, it was something regarding the actress who refuse to do a photo shoot with a rising model.

Smirking at the memory Ashley simply smiled. She had come a long way, but she doubted whether the actress was still the same.

While staring ahead Ashley’s smile faltered as she watched Jennifer making her way toward her, with a big smile lingering on her face.

Did know why she felt it that way, but that smile seemed so forceful and she could immediately pinpoint it.

"Ashley Brown... what a pleasant surprise" Jennifer greeted standing in front of her trying to maintain the same fake smile.

Ashley would’ve simply ignored the woman, but knowing her ethics she simply decided to look past her fakeness and stood up greeting her politely.

"Hello, Miss Wingmen. It’s nice to see you again"

Chapter 437: When did I say that

"Oh come on Ashley, don’t be so formal. Did you forget we have already worked together, or... should I say almost worked together" Jennifer purposely brought up the past.

She was expecting Ashley to get pissed by her remark. She wasn’t to degrade her image proving her arrogant and unprofessional. But the response she got in return dropped her mouth.

"How can I forget about it Jennifer, after I was replaced because a certain someone was insecure that I would snatch away her limelight"

Ashely wasn’t a child, not to understand what this woman was trying to do.

An insecure woman like her was never going to change and she finally learned that.

Jennifer’s face turned ugly at her remark. Her eyes turned cold and she quickly pursed her lips into a thin line.

"I wasn’t insecure of you Ashley, because I knew no matter what no one would be able to surpass my beauty" Jennifer switch her reaction from dark to sincere as she forced a smile.

She knew many eyes were staring at them and just because Ashley was being Ashley she didn’t want to ruin her image.

Ashley on the other hand followed her steps and kept smiling. No open apart from them knew what discussion was going on between the two. But one thing was sure Ashley finally found that working with Jennifer wasn’t going to be smooth.

A woman who wouldn’t dare replacing her last moment before the shoot can repeat the same strategy to defame her.

Amused by her reaction, Ashley understood how quick-witted and sly Jennifer was.

Starring at her for a few seconds, Ashley reached her hand and placed it on Jennifer’s shoulder, and said, "When did I say that you were insecure about me? I just mentioned the rumors which spread that time" Passing a playful smirk Ashley watched her face crack up.

Jennifer was on the verge of losing her cool and snap when her manager rushed to her side informing her about the shoot.

Eyeing the poor girl with the murderous eye, Jennifer then shot a glare at Ashley, and without saying a word she flung around and walked away from there.

Ashley watched her retreating and let out a displeased smile. She realized she had to be more careful around her from here on, as she couldn’t take anyone lightly now.

Meanwhile, Tristan followed Ashley’s words and take the news down. He even asked Karl to cancel his appointment with the media company. Instead, he offered them on taking their interview.

Sitting inside his office, Tristan was busy doing his work when someone knock on the door. Looking up he watched Karl make his way inside.

"Any reply," he asked moving his attention back to the file in front of him.

"They agreed" Karl answered.

Tristan paused for a second and bobbed his head. "I will let you know the date until then make sure the news harm Ashley. I am sure many anti-fans would try to defame her. Take down all the nasty comments and also find who was the one behind leaking the news"

Tristan knew Fox Feed Media would never try to publish this news unless someone helped them find the evidence. That media company only published news that was true and not mere just a rumor. And now he wanted to know who was the person, who dared to challenge him.

"Okay boss" Karl answered and left the cabin.

Joining his palms, Tristan rested his elbows on the surface of the table and started pondering on the people who had ill motives towards Ashley.

First, it was Jane and Greg who wanted to defame her. But they were been taken care of a long time back. Jane killed herself while, Greg, he stepped back the moment he learned about their relationship.

The man was so cowardly that he didn’t dare to irk him anyhow and decided to live a normal life.

Apart from Sandra, he couldn’t recall anyone. With her still missing, Tristan found it hard to believe that she would do something like this.

While he was still busy thinking, his phone rang and Tristan snapped out of his thoughts.

Looking at the caller all his doubts flung out of the window and a charming smile formed on his lips.

"Is my wife missing me?" he asked the moment he answered Ashley’s call.

She was his happy pill and no matter how tired he was, for her, he would always switch his mood.

Ashley smiled at his cheeky remark. She had just finished giving her shot and was currently preparing for the next scene when his thought popped into her mind.

She never admitted it but having him on the set always made her feel secure. Though his jealous self would end up pissing her still, she liked whenever he dropped by.

Tristan would always end up cheering for her whenever she finished giving a shot and that proud smile always pushed her to do better.

"I missed you being on the set" she admitted and heard him chuckle.

"Now you agreed, me being there wasn’t a problem. Yet you shove me away" he whined changing his smile into a small frown.

Ashley laughed at his comment. The man was so quick from being all cheeky to sulking the next moment. ’What was she supposed to do with him’ This thought always wandered in her mind.

When she didn’t hear him speak, Ashley stopped smiling. "Okay now, stop sulking. Aren’t you happy that I already admit missing you" she asked turning the page of her script.

Ashley was already in a bad mood because of Jennifer who purposely kept on giving retakes because she wasn’t satisfied with her acting. When in reality she was way better even in the first take. Yet, to annoy her and make her lose her emotions, she kept on telling Franklin to take another shot.

After almost seven retakes, she was finally satisfied with her shot and concluded the scene. She wondered whether she would be able to keep up with her behavior and finish the shoot on a good note.

The frown on Tristan’s forehead cleared and his smile returned once again. "Do you want to come there?" he asked and only received a silence from the other end.

Chapter 438: Strange Noah

Tristan was about to take her silence as a yes when suddenly Ashley spoke from the other side.

"No need to come here. You will only end up distracting me further" Her rejection hurt Tristan even more and he simply slumped back on his chair again letting a pout out.

"You surely know how to spoil the mood" he complained.

"Who said I spoiled the mood? In fact, I never said yes. You assumed it all by yourself" Ashley said in her defense.

Though she was missing Tristan, that didn’t mean she would ask him to leave his work and drive to her as soon as possible. The man had barely shown his face in the company, neglecting his work just to be with her the entire time.

And now when he is finally at his work as the CEO, she couldn’t get selfish and distract him.

"Still, you shouldn’t have rejected me so harshly. Wifey, it hurts" Tristan wasn’t going to stop nagging. He was looking forward to crashing into the set and surprising his wife, but her rejection left him cold.

"Anyways, now stop feeling sad. How about you come to pick me up after the shooting is over" she suggested and his mood instantly changed.

"Hmm... it sounds good. In that way, I can flaunt you even more. Now that everyone already knows we are married. I can wait to publicly adore you"

Ashley could help but smile at his words. This husband of hers was like a teenager who liked doing stuff that youngsters do. Not that she minds. Instead, she loved every side of his.

In fact, even she didn’t mind flaunting their relationship. Calling him hubby publicly sounded so soothing to her heart that she didn’t care what the rumors say.

She had never cared about what people talked about her, but when it came to Tristan she can’t stand the words they would throw at him and that same goes with Tristan.

If he wasn’t pissed about how the article was written, she wouldn’t have agreed with him on giving an interview to clear all the air.

[Noah’s Mansion]

After having another splendid night, Alice and Noah refuse to leave the bed. Snoozing the alarm for god knows how many times, Noah finally turned off his cell phone from causing any disturbance.

Another couple of minutes passed when Alice suddenly jerked from her sleeping. Covering her mouth, she climbed down the bed and dashed inside the bathroom.

Noah propped his head up, half awake, and heard the loud bang of the door. Confused he quickly got up and sprinted towards the bathroom ready to barge in, but finding the doo close he groaned.

"Alice.. is everything alright? Are you sick" he shouted from outside but hearing the sound of her throwing up, stopped him from yelling.

Did know why but Noah had a feeling something wasn’t right. Standing outside, he waited for her anxiously and when the door finally opened, he watched the pale Alice stepping out.

"Babe, what’s wrong? Do you have an upset stomach?" Noah asked remembering they had fried chicken the other night.

Alice was suddenly craving them so he quickly ordered them for her and to his shock she ended up finishing everything on her own.

"I don’t know what happened. I suddenly feel nauseous" Alice wiped her face with the towel in her hand and walked back towards the bed.

Sitting on the edge, she dropped her head down, feeling a little dizzy.

"Do you want to visit the doctor? You don’t seem fine at all" Noah asked sitting next to her.

He could still feel that she wasn’t okay even after throwing so much. The paleness on her face was scaring him.

Alice simply shook her head. "I don’t think it’s necessary. I will feel better after taking some rest" she suggested.

Noah contemplated for a few seconds but then followed her words. Helping her lay back on the bed, he slept next to her.

"Tell me if you still feel nauseous," he said and wrapped his arms around her, watching her close her eyes as she bobbed her head in agreement.

While Alice kept sleeping Noah was wide awake. He lost his sleep and now his mind was busy thinking about how Alice’s health deteriorated all of a sudden.

’Ah... could it be’ he suddenly squealed when a realization struck his mind, but sensing Alice’s presence, he slowly leaned back.

Noah was having second thoughts and if he happened to be right in guessing, he couldn’t wait to see Alice’s reaction.

Slowing turning around, he reached his hand and grabbed his cell phone, and made a call.

*****

Alice finally woke up after two hours of sleep and the moment she opened her eyes, she couldn’t find Noah anywhere.

Knitting her brows, she pushed herself up. She remembered Noah was by her side when she fell asleep and now when she is awake, he is nowhere to be found.

Pulling off the duvet, Alice was about to climb down the bed when suddenly the door of their room flung open and Noah walked it.

The moment he noticed her climbing down the bed, he quickly dashed towards her in a hurry.

"Babe, you should’ve called me if you want anything" his words confused Alice for a moment.

Watching him place the bowl of soup on the side table and turned towards her, she snapped out of her trance.

"What, why are you staring at me like I have grown two horns on my head," he asked noticing the reluctant marred on her face.

He was already holding her hand helping her stand on her feet but her lack of response made him pause.

"Noah, are you okay? Why do I feel like you slept well last night" she asked finding his behavior way too strange.

Alice admitted she wasn’t feeling well but she wasn’t so down either that he literally had to take her anywhere inside the house.

"But babe, can’t we be cautious? What if you twist your leg while walking? I have to be with you everywhere" his words made her even more confused, but she quickly brushed off her thoughts and jerked his hand that was holding her arm.

"Don’t worry I am not a kid to twist my leg like that and what’s wrong with you, why are you acting so weird" She couldn’t stop her irritation and snapped, leaving Noah startle.

Chapter 439: Signs

’Ha... another sign of pregnancy’ Noah thought slightly squinting his eyes.

Noah kept observing Alice’s behavior quietly like a good student. When she was asleep he called his father and asked him how a woman’s nature changes when she expects.

At first, Taylor thought his son has gone mad, but then understanding his curiosity, he laid back on his seat and started explaining everything. Since Noah was his only child and knowing how hard it was for Anna to push him out of her, he know how a woman goes through both physical and mental changes.

Noting everything his father said, he then called their assigned doctor and discussed everything with her too, but from her point of view, she said they can’t rush to any conclusion until she runs some tests on Alice and not to forget they were even going through treatments.

What if it was just a false alarm?

Noah didn’t want to conclude anything either, so he explained to the doctor beforehand. With everything fixed perfectly in his mind, Noah was now being careful. Deep down he was contemplating declining his thoughts entirely. They wouldn’t know anything, right?

When he didn’t say anything Alice rolled her eyes and started walking towards the bathroom.

"Are you feeling nauseous again" Noah quickly snapped following her like a lost puppy.

"No, I am not. But if you keep following me everywhere. I am surely going to feel one soon" she snapped before slamming the door on his face.

By the time Alice, came out getting fresh, Noah was silently waiting for her outside. Finding him standing in the same spot Alice frown.

"Why are you still here? Were my words not clear enough to understand? What’s wrong with you Noah?" pushing him away she walked toward her closet, looking for a nice dress.

She planned to visit the studio later this afternoon but now that she was feeling better, she thought of going a little early.

Ignoring her words, Noah tailed behind and watched her rampage through her clothes.

"Why are you getting dressed? Are you going somewhere?" he asked watching her pick a beautiful dress from the closet.

"Hmm... I go to the studio" she mumbled and quickly removed her robe, dropping it down, before sliding into her dress.

"But you aren’t well and what if you start feeling nauseous again" Noah pointed.

Stopping for a second, Alice turned to look at Noah with a confused face. He did have a point, but she didn’t want to stay at home either. Instead, she wanted to work so she would forget that she was sick.

The thought of feeling pukish the entire time made her feel like a patient and she really needed to clear her head.

"But I still want to go" Ignoring his words she quickly dressed up and started combing her hair.

"But-" Noah was again going to come up with an excuse but Alice stopped him.

"No, but or anything Noah. I told you I want to clear my head or else I will keep on thinking I am sick" she stated, glancing at herself in the mirror for the last time before she turned around and faced her worried husband.

Patting his face, she was about to leave when Noah stopped her. "Wait for me. I will come with you" he said and turned to head inside the bathroom when Alice asked.

"What about your work?"

Pausing midway, he turned and said," I will work with you" With that he entered the bathroom and quickly took a shower.

Getting changed the couple then left the mansion, but unknown to them a certain someone stood across the street watching their retreating car.

He was finding a way to sneak into the house, but witnessing the tight security, he retreated.

Dylan had to be careful as he lost his most important support, Lucas. But that didn’t stop him from stepping back from his revenge.

Unable to see the couple live a happy life by ruining his, Dylan couldn’t be at peace. Eyeing the property for a few more seconds, he withdrew from there.

****

Reaching the studio, Noah guided Alice toward her office making sure she doesn’t trip or anything. He was being way more careful and that action of his was annoying Alice.

"Will you stop doing that" she warned when he pulled a chair for her after walking towards her desk.

"Babe, don’t be upset. I am just being cautious. Didn’t you say earlier you feel dizzy? I am just being prepared" he explained.

"Prepare for what?" she asked arching her brow in amusement.

"To catch you in case you fall" he answered.

Rolling her eyes in defeat, Alice didn’t argue any further and let him do as he pleased. She could tell something was wrong with him today. The way he was extra cautious made her wonder what was up with him.

Little did she know Noah was wishing his doubts to be right and soon he would hear a piece of good news.

****

[Evening]

After finishing his work, Tristan rushed to pick Ashley. The moment his car reached the set, everyone started gossiping.

Ignoring all of their voices, Tristan made his way inside. When Ashley didn’t answer his call, he assumed she must still be busy with the shoot. So instead of bothering her further he reached the spot and watched Ashley giving her last of the day.

Standing with the other crew Tristan’s eyes beamed happily. He could see how determined Ashley was and how her entire aura changed the second she steps into her character.

Eyeing her, Tristan watched her deliver her shot elegantly before the director shouted ’CUT’ and she quickly returned back to normal.

The sound of clapping caught everyone’s attention and she quickly turned her head to the side and watched Tristan.

He was praising her in front of everyone by appreciating her performance. It was also a direct way of letting them know that they were married and the rumors were cent percent true.

"When did you come?" Ashley asked as soon as she made her way towards him.

"While you were busy shooting the scene," he said with a proud smile and watched her return the same charming smile.

As the couple left the spot, Jennifer who was standing there with her manager fumed before retreating toward her room carrying a foul mood.

Making their way towards her changing room, Ashley quickly got changed and left the set along with Tristan.

As promised the couple drove to their favorite spot. Ashley suggested they should go to the beach and spend their time together while having a candlelight dinner.

Booking the entire venue, both Tristan and Ashley were having their private time.

"Why are you smiling?" Ashley asked taking a sip from her juice.

Since the time they reached here, Tristan hadn’t stopped smiling while he kept staring at her. At first, she liked the way he was admiring her but when he kept doing that longer, she couldn’t stop herself from asking.

"You looked so cool while acting earlier. I can’t stop myself from being proud" he mentioned and she simply shook her head.

"You tell this to me every time you see me act. You should get used to it Tristan" she said.

"I am getting used to it, but if you keep on taking away my breath every time, I don’t think next time I will stop myself from kissing you as a reward"

Tristan shamelessly declared, leaving Ashley in shock. He sounded so serious that she couldn’t take his words lightly.

Ashley knew Tristan had the capability to show his love openly, but she wasn’t as daring as him when it came to expressing her love. She would end up dying of embarrassment.

"Okay now stop being cheesy and eat" Ashley mumbled feeling flustered by his words and started digging it.

"By the way do you remember Jennifer Wingmen, the leading lady? She joined the shoot today"

Tristan who wasn’t interested in the remaining cast gave her a clueless look and watched her shake her head.

"Tristan..." she fumed making him quickly recall the woman.

"Yes, yes I remember her now. Isn’t she the same actress who refuse to do a shoot with you before" he asked, now that he properly recalled her?

"What about her?" he asked placing the fork back on the table.

"Nothing... I just think she is trying to create a problem for me" The moment those words left her mouth Tristan quickly pulled out his cell phone and made a call.

"What are you doing?" she asked staring at him with shock.

"Asking Franklin to replace her," he said casually.

Shocked by his words Ashley quickly snatched the from his hand and ended the call. "What... why did you cut the call?" he asked confused by her action.

"What were you doing?" she asked keeping the phone back on the table and turned to look at him with a questionable look in her eyes.

"Did you say, she was trying to cause trouble? I just wanted to replace her"

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"
