Ch. 51..55: Charmed by the Billionaire CEO Chapter 51-55

Chapter 51: Man we can’t mess with

Gorge was tongue-tied when she questioned him back and felt his heart beat vividly when he saw the fierce look in her eyes.

These were the same gaze he had seen when he had asked her to sleep with him and, in return, ’Slap.’

Just remembering the hard blow his mind received from her slap made him retreat from approaching her.

"T-the media say it all" he tried to remain composed and didn’t dare to show his discomfort to anyone around.

Ashley sighed, leaning back lazily," Haven’t the media published rubbish about me from the beginning, Mr Gorge? Then why can’t this news be false too."

Ashley’s word had a point. She was dragged into this scandal for a long time and has always proven innocent. Then why can’t it be now?

Everyone inside the room started to look at each other and murmured to each other when the CEO quite them all," Silence..."

His stern voice shut everyone’s voices and heard Mr Finn say," Since there is no legal proof that would claim that the picture is real, I won’t suspend Ashley’s contract.

I hope everyone’s behaviour towards her will remain the same as she the face of Dream Star," he declared and stood up, leaving the meeting hall.

Ashley had already predicted the CEO would favour her since he had known her as a person for a very long time.

She stood tall with her head and looked at the man who fumed in anger sitting at one corner of the table. She smirked before wearing back her sunglasses and walking out of the meeting, all with dignity.

Gorge slammed his hand on the table in his defeat to defame Ashley and walked out furiously, ignoring everyone.

Mr Finn’s Cabin

"May I come in Sir" Ashley knocked on the glass door before getting a nod from the old man.

Finn was Richard’s friend and treated Ashley as his child. The day she volunteered as one of the participants in the pageant competition, he had seen the potential in her to shine bright in the modelling world.

She wasn’t just beautiful but had a brain as sharp as a tack. She was witty, intelligent, and understood how things work in the industry.

She not only carried herself efficiently and won the competition with her mind-blowing answers.

He had met many girls who tried to get into the agencies through their family backgrounds, but Ashley wasn’t one of them. She didn’t use her father’s name to climb the ladder of success instead worked hard and became who she is now ’The Ashley Brown- The everlasting face of the modelling world.’

"You don’t have to take permission my child" Finn ignored her formal words and waved her to step in.

Ashley walked along with Miley and took the chair for herself while Miley stood behind her.

"I can’t informally speak with the CEO, or else there will be another scandal that would spoil my name and term me as a disrespectful woman.

Finn chuckled at her statement and nodded his head, agreeing to it.

"Sorry for again getting into a scandal. I’ve been giving you hard times" she genuinely felt bad because every time her name got involved in any news, the agency had to face the lash out of the audience.

Finn scoffed at herApologyy and smirked, "Apology accepted", Finn joked and looked at the young girl.

"How long do you plan to hide your marriage?" Finn’s sudden question surprised her, but she composed herself when she realized who the person to tell him was.

"If it wasn’t my decision to hide my marriage, dad would’ve probably declared it with a loud celebration" Ashley shook her head, thinking about her father being the person who couldn’t keep secrets.

"Then you must be knowing who I married," she asked and watched the old man nod his head.

"He is the most powerful man we can’t mess with," Finn said dramatically and saw her smile.

After talking with Finn for a while, Ashley bid goodbye.

She still didn’t sign any new modelling assignments as she wanted to spend time with her in-laws. She knew she would stay with them for only a short time before returning to her apartment. So, she wanted to spend as much time with them as possible.

Entering the elevator, Ashley’s phone buzzed, and she looked at the notification with a smile suddenly appearing on her face.

"Miley, you take back the car. I have to go somewhere," she said and walked out of the elevator, heading toward the parking area in the underground basement.

Reaching down, she searched around and found a familiar car. With a smile, she started walking toward the car and opened the door before stepping in, and the car soon left there.

Not too far from there stood a man hiding behind the pillar and watched the car drive away.

Gorge slammed his hand on the wall when he could see anything since the car had tinted glass.

"You can fool the CEO, Ashley, but you can’t fool me. I will surely expose your relation that you are trying to hide from everyone" his face twitched, and he turned, walking away from there.

*****

Inside the car

Tristan watched Ashley ignore his sharp gaze and sit far away from him on the other side of the seat. She turned her head away from him as she watched out of the window.

’Is she now avoiding me’ he thought, watching her lack of attention towards him as if she was purposely trying to ignore him.

"Ahem..." he cleared his throat and watched her turn her head to finally face him.

Ashley looked at Tristan’s questioning face, and she understood the reason for his action.

"Do you need water?" she asked because she didn’t want to bring up the morning incident.

Tristan looked at her in disbelief when she couldn’t guess his action and acted dumb. His patience wore out, and he pulled her by her waist, making her sit on his lap.

"Tristan, what are you doing?" Ashley hissed after Tristan made her sit on his lap and look at the front seat.

"Put me down", she warned with her eyes holding anger in them.

"What if I don’t" Tristan wasn’t someone who was going to listen to her until he got what he wanted.

Ashley wriggled in his hold and looked at him in defeat," It’s awkward" her words made him look at the driver whose ear had turned red as he was dying in embarrassment.

Getting her words, he turned on the partition button blocking the view and turned to face her worried eyes," Now tell me why aren’t you talking with me?"

His words confused her, and she looked at him in a daze," Why would I do that?" she asked, and he sighed.

"I know you are purposely ignoring me, Ashley. I haven’t forgotten what happened in the morning" Tristan’s serious words made her gulp and pursed her lips.

"W-what happened in the morning? I don’t remember anything" she tried looking elsewhere, avoiding his sharp gaze.

She knew it all the way, which was why she tried to keep herself from initiating anything. She had done it before and knew Tristan never liked to be left hanging. But she did it again, and now she didn’t know what she had to do to make him forget about it.

"You don’t remember anything?" Tristan arched his brow and watched her nod her head.

He looked at her for a while before he said," Okay, then let me demonstrate it" as soon as his words left his mouth, Ashley felt her body freeze when his hand suddenly went towards her top. He slowly inserted his palm touching her skin, giving her a burning sensation, and she closed her eyes.

"Tristan", she called his name, feeling his hand move up slowly and stopping on her bosom.

"Did you remember now" his hoarse voice whispered in her ear, and she moaned, "Hmm..."

Tristan smirked and kissed her neck, slowly tilting her head to the side, sucking and nibbling her skin.

Ashley could feel the blood rushing through her veins as her body heated up with desire, and she couldn’t help by like it.

His hands kneaded her right breast, squeezing it like it was some softball.

"Tristan... we need to stop" even with the muddle thought, she still managed to tell him that they were inside the car.

What if the driver heard her moan? Just the thought made her feel shy, and her face turned red.

Her words made him stop, and he pulled away, looking into her flushed face, which had completely turned red in shyness.

Tristan had forgotten that they had been inside the car, and it had already stopped moving. Closing his eyes, he heaved out a sign and pulled out his hand from her top.

"We reached," he said, adjusting her cloth and hair and looking at her confused face.

Chapter 52: You fooled me

Ashley had no idea where Tristan had brought her. He asked her to come with him as he was waiting for her in the basement parking area.

"Where are we?" she asked and climbed down from his lap, looking out the window before turning to look at him in a daze.

Tristan grinned and opened the car’s door without answering her and stepped out. Ashley followed him and found them standing in front of a lavishing penthouse.

"Why did you bring me here?" she asked and saw him wrap his arm around her.

"It’s your wedding gift," he said casually and saw her widen her eyes.

Tristan chuckled, watching her astonished look, and took her inside the house that he purchased the day they registered their marriage.

He wanted to gift her a wedding ring but dropped the plan and instead purchased a house for them.

Ashley gasped, watching the extravagant décor. Every wall was painted baby blue, making it look like the sky above. The well-furnished tables and chairs along with the cushioned couch.

Every little thing was according to her liking, which moved her heart, and she turned to see his adoring eyes.

"You did this for me?" she asked and saw him nod his head.

Ashley couldn’t contain her happiness and pounced on him capturing his lips. She felt so moved by his sweet gesture that she couldn’t stop herself from rewarding him.

Though the kiss didn’t last long, Tristan was still satisfied with the happiness that radiated from her eyes. Pulling back, she hugged him and looked at the house.

"I love it," she said and looked at him lovingly.

"I wanted to give you a wedding ring, but I think we still have some time for it" he shrugged his shoulder, showing a glint of sadness in his words while he tucked the strand of her hair behind her ear.

Ashley felt guilty when she heard him. She was so into her own decision that she didn’t even ask what he felt about it, and now she felt bad that she didn’t consider his deepest thought.

Tristan watched her smile drop, and he cursed for bringing up the topic. He didn’t mean to upset her, but his mouth didn’t stop from speaking rubbish.

Cupping her face, Tristan made her look at him and smiled," You don’t have to force yourself, Ash, I will for the day when you will be ready to announce our relation to the whole world. I will... I promise" his words were so comforting that her eyes welled up and she hugged him tightly.

This man was god’s gift to her, and she wanted to protect him with everything she had. Her life was chaotic, filled with scandals and hate, and she didn’t want to drag him into that mess. He was too precious for anyone to harm him.

"I promise I won’t take too long" she pulled back and assured him once everything was under control, she wouldn’t oblige to hide their relationship.

Tristan nodded his head and took her towards their bedroom.

*****

Greg’s apartment

"She just avoided the claim like she always does" Gorge gulped the drink down and slammed the glass on the table.

He was extremely pissed with how things turned out differently, and she just dodged the accusation telling him it was irrelevant. He felt like he was slapped on his face by her victorious smile that dug like a needle into his pride.

Greg fumed when he learned that Ashley smartly considered the picture photoshopped. His investigator James had hardly managed to click her even after the couple was alerted to their surrounding.

"Why the hell she is lying" Greg boiled in anger, cursing Ashley in his mind.

"She is smart, Greg, and knows how to act witty when a situation like this arrives. But she is wrong to think that I will let go of this matter and believe in her plain lie" leaning back, he smirked.

"I happen to see her get into a car which belonged to someone who worked in the Melanin Internationals, but it was my bad luck. I couldn’t see the person sitting inside it."

"Even a few days before, Jane had seen Ashley get into a car that only an elite preferred to use but just like you, she couldn’t see the person."

Jane was so pissed that she threw everything away, messing up her entire room just because she couldn’t follow Ashley and find any evidence to expose her.

"She is cautious about her private life this time and is using every means to keep it a secret" Greg balled his palm into a fist, and his eyes turned cold.

"She took everything away from me, my name, my fame. Now I will go to any extreme to show her how it feels to taste your own medicine" his eyes looked at Gorge, giving him a meaningful look, and he smirked in return.

****

Ashley was stunned inside the room, watching the large king-size bed and gulp hard.

"Do you like our room?" he asked, smiling like a proud man who has accomplished something big to brag around.

"Ahem... don’t you think the bed is too big for too of us" she turned to him and asked.

Tristan had specially asked the interior designer to focus mainly on a bed he wanted inside his room. He even instructed them that he didn’t want anything inside his room except one bed.

Couch and chair had no space to be inside his room as he wanted to cuddle his wife the whole day on the bed.

"No, I don’t think so. I feel it too comfortable," she said, sitting on it before he pulled her to sit next to him.

"In that way, we can snuggle the whole day and eve-"

"Stop" Ashley covered his mouth and stopped him from completing his sentence.

Tristan pulled down her hand and asked," Why are you so shy about it? It’s not like we haven’t done it before."

Ashley rolled her eyes and heaved out a sigh," Here we go again. Do you like teasing me" she asked with a frown.

"Yes, I do because you flare your nose whenever you get angry" he pinched her nose, and she sneered, moving her face back.

Tristan watched her scrunch her nose and glare at him, which made him smile.

"By the way what happened in the meeting? Did you convince the CEO" he asked curiously.

"You don’t know anything about it?" she asked in return and saw him blink his eyes.

"H-how would I know" Tristan averted her gaze and tried to act dumb?

Ashley gawked at him and watched him look away from her suspicious gaze.

"Okay fine... I know everything" Tristan lost and confessed everything.

Ashley had been awake the whole night as she couldn’t fall asleep when she woke up in the middle of the night. She turned to the other side and found the space next to her empty.

She frowned and got up, looking everywhere, when she heard Tristan’s voice coming from the balcony.

"I have sent you the photos. Show it to Ashley and make sure you keep me updated with the situation inside the meeting hall," he instructed and said something more before ending the call.

Ashley heard everything and rushed back to lay on the bed when she saw him end the call. She acted as if she was in a deep sleep and sensed the space next to her shrink, engulfing her in a warm back hug.

"I won’t let anyone hurt you", she heard him say and then felt him kiss her head.

Ashley couldn’t react, and she hugged him back before drifting back to sleep.

CLICK

Tristan snapped his finger, broke her trance, and asked," How did you find it?" his voice came out like a whisper, and she turned her head to face him.

"I have my ways" she didn’t tell him anything and let him find it on his own.

"I know your manager must have said it to you" Tristan sounded angry as he said it loud and saw Ashley pursing her lips and glaring at him.

"See, you confessed it," she said and folded her hand, smiling internally at his stupidity. How easily he told her everything.

Tristan opened his mouth and closed it, getting baffled, and watched Ashley smile.

"Y-you fooled me", he complained and saw her laugh at him.

"I didn’t do anything. You confessed on your own" Ashley raised her hand, didn’t take the blame on her, and stood up.

Tristan huffed and raised his head, looking at her smile. He would do anything to keep it on her face, even if he had to act stupid at times.

"I just wanted to help without you getting to know about it. But I guess my wife is too smart to guess everything happening around her" Tristan held her wrist and made her sit on his lap.

He loved this position for them where he could see her every expression and feel overwhelmed.

Chapter 53: That was great

[Mature content]

"So should we continue from where we stopped" he slowly inched closer to her face and saw her slightly open her mouth.

Tristan didn’t let her voice her answer. He captured her lips and sealed her mouth. He was so eager to kiss her that her words didn’t count at that moment he did what he felt.

Tristan slowly and steadily devoured her mouth while his hand moved inside her shirt to find the right spot, which he felt like fantasizing about a lot.

"You are so beautiful Ash," he said in between the sensual kiss that echoed inside the room.

Ashley felt her body melt into his touch, and she wrapped her arms around his neck and dug her fingers into his neatly combed hair.

Tristan snaked his arm around her waist, while the other, he used to lift her butt and swiftly turned to make her lay on the bed, hovering her petite body under him.

Ashley wrapped her legs around his torso and continued to kiss him wildly. She had lost her sense and was completely involved in the love-making session.

She reached down her hand and removed his belt. Getting her urgency, Tristan pulled back from the kiss, heaving and unbuttoning his pants, letting them slide down on the floor.

Ashley watched him throw away his suit in a hurry and stand naked in front of her.

"Like what you see, wifey," he said with a smirk when he looked at her drooling over him.

Ashley was struck by his toned muscle, and his manly aura gulped down and watched him crawl to her.

"Now it’s your turn, wifey" his sensual voice hypnotized her, and she immediately lifted her hand, allowing him to remove her clothes.

Tristan was so fast that it didn’t take long for him to undress her. He was so hurried he didn’t want to waste time completing his task.

Sealing her lips again, his hand moved all over her body, touching her curves and pulling her close to his erect cock.

His rode rubbed against her clit, and she let out a moan.

Ashley felt the tip of his shaft brush her petals, and she felt the hotness dripping. She wanted him to get inside her. She had been waiting to feel him inside her and fulfil her desire for him.

She wanted to feel complete with him thrusting deep inside her and let her feel the same euphoric feeling she felt the first time they had sex.

"I want you, Tristan", she breathed, pulling back and looking deep into his ocean blue orbs.

Tristan stared back at her and thrust deep without any warm-up

"Ahh.." Ashley whined in pain when she felt her wall break, and he entered deep roughly. He was too big for her, and she felt her muscles contract.

She held on to his arms, digging her nails into his flesh, trying to adjust his length.

"Are you okay?" he asked as she looked with tear-filled eyes.

Tristan felt his heart squeeze when she nodded her head and smiled even when she was in pain.

"Don’t stop..." she said to him instead and brushed his cheeks, averting his guilt.

She could tell he wanted to retreat, but she wasn’t ready. Now that they had finally started, she wanted to enjoy everything.

"But you..." his words died as Ashley pulled him and captured his lips vigorously.

She didn’t want to waste time talking and only wanted to feel him.

"Don’t stop, please?" she said against his lips and felt his hips move slowly.

She felt her inside break with his every move and gasped, holding him tight.

Tristan wanted it to be gentle and let her adjust to him. Pulling out, he again slid in, and this time she didn’t feel the pain which calmed him a little.

Yes, for Ashley, the pain was unbearable initially, but it subsided in a minute, and now all she was feeling was an immense pleasure.

"Tristan.." she called his name and heard him groan.

Tristan was high with the pleasure he was showering on his wife. It was as wild as that night and rather gentle. He was feeling her emotions through her voice, and he felt ignited when she called his name.

The hidden demon inside him surged up, and he thrust her roughly, listening to her moan.

Tristan had never thought his ever-laid-back rod would stand tall watching her. She was the woman who woke up his sleeping impulse. She was the first woman who made him feel this want for someone, and that someone was her.

She pulled the string to his heart, making him feel the need to want her. He had never imagined she would become such an important part of his life in just a mere second, and all he wanted was to be with her till the end of time.

The time felt so pure as he emptied himself inside her and fell on her chest, panting heavily.

Ashely, too felt drained out but still reached her hand and wrapped around his back, caressing it. It felt incredible and felt like she had never been so aggressive in her entire life.

"That was great," she said and slowly opened her eyes, looking at Tristan, who hugged her tightly.

It took them some time to calm down, and when they were good, Tristan pulled back, pulling her closer to him.

Ashley rested her head on his chest and started drawing circles on his chest. She felt like an entirely new person; the best part was she didn’t let Greg’s thoughts cross her mind.

All she was thinking was about her and Tristan. There was no space for her past to invade her current life.

"How did you find out about Gorge and Greg teaming up against me," she asked, lifting her head and seeing him sigh.

"I had asked Karl to follow Greg but it turned out he wasn’t alone there were other two involved," he said with a serious face.

’Two’, she thought with a frown and looked at him.

"Jane," he said and saw her open her mouth.

"That day when you went to meet her. She had seen you getting into the car with me and even followed us to some distance" his words widened her eyes, and she propped up, balancing her upper body with her elbow.

"What!!! She followed us,"? she screamed and saw him nod his head while he pursed his lips.

Ashley felt like smacking her head to forget that she left first before Jane, and it was obvious for her to follow her.

"I should have known she wouldn’t let me go that easily" she dropped down in defeat and sighed.

Tristan turned to face her, resting his head on his palm and watched her fume on herself.

"Luckily she didn’t see us and I signaled our driver to drive fast" his words made her turn to him, and she watched him in surprise.

Ashley reached her hand, moving back of his head and checked it," Do you have eyes behind your head" she said seriously and watched him twitch his lips.

Ashley bit her lips, suppressing her laughter and saw him glare at her," It isn’t funny at all" he scowled and laid straight, ignoring her.

Ashley stopped crying and moved closed to her, cradling him like a kid caging him by her legs and resting her hand on his chest.

"I didn’t knew my husband had a bad temper," she said seductively, making him look at her.

She looked so hot with her hair falling down her chest, covering her round mounds, hiding behind her brown hair. He smiled and pulled her by her neck, bending her down until their face was an inch apart," Then shouldn’t you calm his temper, my lovely wifey" his words had a double meaning showing his mischief side, and she arched her brow.

"Is that so?"

He nodded his head and saw her lips curled up," I like this temper of your", she said and trailed her finger on his toned chest, feeling every muscle stopping near his nipple.

Tristan’s body stiffed when she flicked his erect nipple staring at him with lust," Do you want me to ride you, husband" her voice broke his frozen state, and he nodded his head.

Ashley had memorized everything he did to her that night. Even though she wasn’t strong enough to stand his pace, her mind registered his every action, which made her feel pure bliss.

Ashley looked into his eyes without breaking the stare and moved down, sitting between his legs. She wasn’t shy because she had self-volunteered to pleasure her husband.

There should be no doubt because she was damn serious about making him feel the same ecstasy that he had reached her a while ago.

She reached her hand and touched his erect and heard Tristan groan," Dammit..."

His head fell back and he gasped.

Chapter 54: You are doing great wifey

[Mature Content]

Ashley hold onto his shaft tightened and she heard him groan. She smirked looking at his vulnerable sight and started moving her hands on it. She was slow in the beginning as she wanted him to enjoy the pace.

Tristan had never been touched like this. She was the first woman who made him go nuts. He shut his eyes and felt her warm palm tenderly rubbing his rode and he gulped hard.

"Ash" his voice shook a little and he said," Faster..."

Tristan wanted her to be rough because her slow pace was only igniting more of his wants.

Ashley heard his urgency and smirked. Even though she wasn’t a pro in this yet she had read about it somewhere and he knew what kind of pleasure men go through when their desire is ignited.

She ignored his words and bend down licking the tip of his cock like it was some kind of candy.

Tristan snapped opened his eyes when he felt her take his member into her mouth and suck it, pushing him into a new world.

She looked so enchanting as her eyes looked into his lustful ones and she continued satisfying him.

Propping his upped body he balanced himself with his elbow and reached his one hand tucked her strand as he watched her face. He wanted to capture every detail of her face and hide it in his mind.

"You are doing great wifey..." his hoarse voice praised her and she fasten her face swallowing his hard rock completely into her mouth until it touched her throat and she heard Tristan groan louder.

He held her hair and guided her until he reached his climax and burst into her mouth. His head fell back and tried to catch his breath.

Ashley on the other hand pulled back and gulped the entire cum wiping the corner of her lips with her finger," Even you aren’t bad to taste" she said seductively and crawled up to face him.

Her lips never left the smile as she saw that satisfied look on his face which gave her the appreciation she wanted.

"How was it?" she asked tracing her finger on his jawline and saw him open his eyes.

His eyes held onto her seductive gaze and he pulled her by the back of the neck until their lips brushed and said," Too hard to resist"

Ashley smiled and they kissed each other attempting another round which completely drain Ashley and she fell asleep.

Tristan climbed down from the bed and went to the bathroom to bring a wet towel. He smiled when he saw Ashley sleep like a kid and he went to sit next to her.

He wiped her carefully, cleaning everything before he helped her wear one of his shirts. Making sure that she was sound asleep he then went to clean himself and joined the bed. It was still broad daylight but their back-to-back lovemaking session wore them out and now they just wanted to rest.

After about two hours Ashley opened her eyes trailing her hand on the space next to her and found it empty. Frowning she woke up and sat on the bed rubbing her eyes until her vision cleared and looked around but didn’t find Tristan.

"Where did he go?" she muttered and pulled away the duvet only to find herself wearing Tristan’s shirt.

"I smell like him now" a sudden blush appeared on her cheeks and she walked out of the room.

Ashley felt like a teenager who was crushing on the man who swayed her heart with his love. She had a clear memory of the moments they share some time ago and she felt more connected to him in a spiritual way.

It was just lust but love was all she could see and that filled her heart with joy. Reaching downstairs she looked around, searching for him everywhere but didn’t find him and she frowned.

"Where did he go now..." she said standing in the big living space and sighed when a strong pair of arms wrapped around her waist from behind and whispered in her ears," Looking for me?" his hot breath fanned her skin and she smiled before she turned her head to see Tristan so close to her.

Ashley nodded her head and found herself getting turned by him," Do you know how tempting you look right now with my shirt on you" his eyes turned mischievous and he watched her turn red.

’Damn this woman had no idea what she was doing to him with her shyness’

Tristan bit his lips and lift her head by her chin looking deep into her eyes," You are turning me on, Ashley"

As soon those words left his mouth Ashley could feel the same burning flame in his eyes that she saw when they were having a heated session. She now understood how deep his eyes could convey his inner desire to her that she couldn’t stop reading.

She swallowed a mouth full of saliva and watch him approach and she slowly closed her eyes understanding what was going to happen next but," Grrrrr..."

Snap opening her eyes Ashley looked at Tristan who had a dumb expression on his face but not soon he started laughing." Hahaha..."

Ashley turned even redder and hide her face into her palm avoiding him. She was embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in there.

Tristan who saw her stopped laughing and uncovered her face making her look at him," You are so cute, Ash. Have you ever noticed how your ears turn red whenever you are embarrassed"

He had his eyes on her every expression and every time she would turn red he would feel proud to find the reason was him.

"Let’s eat something first. Mother had called and she wants us home" he said and saw her nod.

*****

Noah was sitting inside his office and reviewing the new game that they were going to launch soon in the market. He was looking forward to the game to break the record and get his company the recognition it deserves.

"It looks fine till now. Ask the IT department to run a final test before we send it to a higher team to finalize it" Noah said to his assistant and asked to work on it immediately.

After his assistant left Noah picked up his phone and started playing with it. He wanted to call Alice just to check on her health but stopped himself because of what happened last night in the elevator.

He had been a labeled player and never let any woman play with his mind but after meeting Alice his thoughts towards himself began to change. He had never cared for anyone except him and his mother because she was the only woman who believed in him and asked him to do whatever he liked.

Though she didn’t knew about him being a Casanova in real life and didn’t intend to let her know.

Pinching the bridge of his nose he sighed and kept back the phone and decided to let it be. It wasn’t his duty to look after her when she doesn’t even appreciate it.

"Let her be" he muttered and started focusing on his work. As the time passed by he couldn’t stop his mind from drifting back to thinking about her.

"Why is she invading my thoughts" he flared with frustration and took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He wanted his mind to get clear with no thoughts of her in it. He knew as the days will pass he would forget about her. Or maybe it would turn different.

Noah looked at the time and got up taking his keys and walking out of his cabin. Even after making up his mind to ignore her still he couldn’t stand the fact that he wanted to see her.

Getting into his car, Noah drove to Alice’s studio. After twenty minutes he reached the place and looked at his watch," There’s still some time for her to close the studio" he said and tap his fingers on the steering wheel.

After exactly ten minutes, Alice walked out of the studio building and looked around.

"Whom is she looking for?" he frowns and saw her wave her hand with a beautiful smile.

Turning his head in the direction she looked his eyes darkened and his hold on the steering wheel tightened.

A man walked towards her and engulf her in his embrace as they both hugged each other like there is no tomorrow.

Noah felt his heat prick when he saw Alice smile at him after they pulled back and walked towards the car getting in and driving away from there.

Noah release the breath he kept holding all this while and felt like a fool to even expect her to wait for him. His eyes turned cold and he started the engine driving away from there fuming in anger.

Chapter 55: Where am I

Restaurant

"I thought you forgot your only sister Xavier" Alice looked at her brother who ignored her complaint and rather focus on the food in front of him.

Alice fumed when he didn’t answer her and continued," Now you won’t talk to me," she asked slamming her fork back on the plate.

Xavier was her uncle’s son who took over his business in corporate and had been urging millions since then. Being the only child he too had no choice but to follow in his father’s footsteps and increase their business.

Finally lifting his head he saw his sister glaring at him and he wiped his mouth before speaking," What do you want me to talk about when you didn’t even inform me about your problem Alice? My sister is been suffering sleeping disorder and instead of her informing me about it I get to learn it from my investigator"

Xavier was very protective of Alice and had been keeping tabs on her every movement. After she left the mansion he tried to convince her to return but she had already made up her mind and he didn’t argue further.

Alice pursed her lips and lower her head. She didn’t know he would come to find out about her health issue because she didn’t want anyone to feel sorry for her.

Ashley had been by her side when she face panic attacks and the sedative given by the doctor helped her in many ways. But still, her nightmares didn’t stop there. She was an insomniac and could sleep at night but when she did her nightmares would start haunting her.

Xavier watched her turn silent fumed and asked," Now talk something dammit" his little stern voice made her flinch and she raised her head to look at his furious gaze.

"First tell me you won’t scold me" she pouted her lips and forwarded her pink finger just to stop him from scolding her.

Xavier rolled his eyes and heaved out a sigh," You are impossible" he said in defeat and agreed with her.

Alice told him everything and saw his face turn darker. Xavier fumed in anger and fisted his palm," How can Uncle be so careless" he couldn’t control his anger after what he heard.

"I need to talk to my uncle about it," Xavier was serious with what he said and looked very determined to face his uncle.

"You think I didn’t try to tell him" her words made him frown.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"He doesn’t give a f**k," she said and picked up the spoon and started eating the food.

Xavier was confused by her calm demeanor and asked," He didn’t believe you" he just fluke and saw her shrug her shoulder.

"God... is he really your father" Xavier couldn’t believe his own uncle didn’t trust his own daughter.

"I don’t expect anything either from them. Mom too supports him" she said.

Xavier knew his uncle was a greedy man but after whatever happened he expected him to at least support his daughter.

He could only shake his head in disbelief and enjoy his time with his sister.

After having the food Xavier drove Alice to her apartment. Since he already knew the address he didn’t ask her nor did she tell him.

Stopping in front of the building Xavier turn at Alice who was unfastening her seatbelt and said," You know you can talk with me anytime" Xavier caressed her hair and smiled.

His father owned his mansion because he never had a good relationship with Alice’s father. Even being blood-related they didn’t bat an eye at each other. But when Xavier’s father Theon found out about Alice living alone he immediately asked Xavier to bring her to stay with him but after knowing how stubborn his sister was he didn’t force her and instead kept an eye on her.

Alice nodded her head and stepped out of the car heading inside the building. She entered the elevator and tap the floor button and watch the door slide when someone blocked it.

Looking at the person Alice frowned and she covered her nose.

Noah stumbled on his foot when he stepped inside. His eyes were unfocused but he recognized the woman in front of him.

"Alice..." he smiled and took a step towards her and stumbled on her.

"Noah... careful" she held him and saw him smile like a fool.

Alice helped him to stand on his feet and wrapped her one arm around his waist.

"How much you had to drink?" she asked looking up at his flushed face.

"Drink?.. I didn’t drink" he said and smiled.

Alice faked a smile and nod her head. This man was so high that he didn’t even realize what he was talking about. She didn’t ask him anymore and waited for them to reach the floor.

The door opened and she dragged Noah along with her only to get breathless as his body weight was too much for a fragile girl like her.

"Noah walk straight" she warned and shot a glare at him.

Noah saw her angry look, pouted like a cute pup, and removed her hand trying to stand steady on his foot.

"Why can’t you talk sweetly with me?" his voice sounded like a wounded person and his eyes looked at her with sadness.

Alice found him acting strange all of sudden and before she could get to answer him, he held her wrist pulling her closer to him.

"You couldn’t stop smiling in front of that guy and with me, you are always indifferent why?" he didn’t know why her being with some other guy affected him so much that he ended up drinking thinking about them.

Yes after driving away from her studio building he drove to the club to clear his mind. He wanted to vent his frustration by hooking up with a girl that would catch his attention but everything turned opposite.

All he did was drink until his mind turned foggy. Leave a girl he didn’t even pay attention to anyone who approached him.

Alice felt weird when she found them extremely close. It wasn’t that she was shy or something but the way he looked at her spoke questions to her and she didn’t have anything to answer.

’What is he talking’ she thought and looked at him who was slowly on the verge of passing out on her.

"Wait.... wait" her scream woke him up and he looked at her in a daze.

"Don’t pass out on me" she said and help him stand straight before she wrapped his arm around her shoulder and steadied him by circling her arm around his waist.

She helped him walk until they reach his apartment and she turned to ask him to unlock the door. But when she looked at him he was already leaning on her with his eyes close.

"Noah... get up" she screeched and tried to wake him but he was so soundly sleeping that she felt like crying.

’Now what was she supposed to do’

Alice couldn’t just leave him here in this state so she thought of bringing him into her apartment.

Dragging Noah’s heavy body, Alice bought him into her house and made him lay on her bed which seem too small for his tall frame.

"Why does he have to be so tall?" she complained when she saw his legs came out from the bed’s edge.

Adjusting the duvet on his body Alice was about to leave when she was pulled down by her wrist and she down on Noah," Don’t go.." she heard him mutter in his sleep and his hold around her tightened.

Alice pursed her lips when his breath fanned her face and she gulped down. Her heart began to pump all of sudden and she turned her head to find him close to her.

"Is he really sleeping?" she muttered and brought her hand up and poked his cheeks and when he didn’t respond she sighed in relief.

Alice slowly tried to get out of his grip but failed when he pulled her closer to him. Tired of the struggle Alice laid next to him and tried to calm her breath that had fastened due to the strength she applied to get out of his embrace.

She didn’t realize when she fell asleep until the morning sun hit the horizon.

Noah was fast asleep when suddenly someone choked him.

"GASP!!!"

Snap opening his eyes he saw a hand land on his throat. He threw it away and pulled himself up sat straight on the bed and began to cough.

"What the hell yo-" his voice died in his throat when he turned and saw who was the person next to him. His entire body froze and his eyes popped out from the socket watching Alice sleeping like a dead log next to him and that too on his bed.

’Wait this isn’t my bed. Holy shit where am I...’ he cursed and looked around finding himself in an unfamiliar place when he heard her moan.
