Alice yawned and climb down from the bed because just like the other days even today she couldn't fall asleep. She didn't remember when was the last time she had fallen asleep without any trouble. Long back maybe.
Walking like a dead fish she headed towards the kitchen of her apartment and made some coffee for herself. It was the best remedy she could find to keep her eyes open the entire day.
Placing the cup on the table she pulled out a chair for herself and began to scroll down the messages on her phone.
Sneering she shut down the phone because most of the messages were from her mother who kept pestering her to return home and apologize to her father.
"My foot, I am not going to bend down when he doesn't even remember that he has a daughter"
Alice wanted to become a photographer but her father Christin was against it. He wanted her to take over their family business but she rejected being a part of it.
Her mother Jenny tried to convince her but she couldn't give in because she knew once she step her foot into the business world then her father will tie her with someone who would enhance his company even more.
She didn't want to be a scapegoat in her father's business politics and let her father use her for his benefit.
Emptying the coffee cup she decided to head to the grocery store as she had a day off and her fridge was empty.
Alice and Ashley never like to rely on anyone when it came to filling their stomach. Being away from their over-pampered family had made them independent enough to look after them on their own.
She step out of her residential building and headed to the parking lot.
Alice didn't like to drive much as she feared her lack of sleep would make her dash to someone's car or worse any person.
Praying mentally she hopped into the car and drove herself to the supermarket. Since she had decided to cook for herself she was going to have a feast.
Turning on the radio she increased the volume of the song and drove the car.
As her mind was getting high with the music, she increased the speed of her car when suddenly the signal turned red and she stopped her car with a jerk.
"Thud..." getting the feeling of someone hitting her car she turned her head and saw a Black Mercedes stopping right behind her car.
"What the fuc-" Alice cursed loudly as her blood began to boil in anger.
Getting out of the car she ran back and saw her car had been dashed.
"You bastard..." she marched towards the car which collided with her and shouted slamming the window.
"Get out you blind. Can't you see and drive.... open the door" Alice was pissed because she didn't have a proper goodnight's sleep and now this.
Being careful yet she dashed to her car but this time it was the other party at fault.
She wanted to spend her day in peace but now she wouldn't because of the damage her car had gone through.
"I said open-" Alice yelled and was about to slam the window when the one-way glass slid down and the handsome face came into her view.
'Holy moly... who is this handsome man' Alice's mind got freeze for a second when she heard the commotion of people around her that pause her dirty thoughts.
"Y-you get out and look what you have done to my car" Alice was in fighting mode and wasn't going to let her pervert mind get in between just because the man was hot.
Noah tilts his head peeking from the window when he slowly opened the door and steps out of his car.
He glared at Alice and then walked to see how much of her car was damaged.
Alice who saw him walked got her eyes stuck on his muscular back. As his mind began to run wild she heard the man say,
"You call this a major damage... A SCRATCH..." his manly voice broke her trance and she looked at him with confusion.
Noah waved his hand asking her to come which Alice did and looked in the direction he pointed his finger.
" Ahem.."
Alice wanted to hide somewhere away from everyone because she accused him of something which wasn't that big.
Noah who saw her smirked when he saw how embarrassed she looked because of the mess she had created.
He would've helped her because the girl was damn sexy but he couldn't because she yelled for something so lame.
Just a scratch and she was yelling at him like he had broken her headlight or something.
Alice felt her confidence decline in speed and she forces a smile to hide her embarrassment," Hehe. I think I forgot to wear my glasses before heading out.."
Noah rolled his eyes at how easily she flipped her fierce behavior into an innocent one within a second making him the culprit here.
"Hehe. Nothing major happened to my car. Everything is fine" Alice cleared the people who started to gather because of her loud yelling.
As soon as the crowd disappears slowly Alice let out a sigh.
Turning back toward the man whom she blamed for nothing made her feel worse but before she could apologize to him for her actions she heard him.
"Here take this.."
Noah took out some amount of money and forwarded it to Alice," Get your car serviced" he said with a blank face that shocked her.
Alice who saw his indecent way of talking with her made her fume in anger and she couldn't hold it.
"Do you think I wanted your money that's why I created this fuss" Alice felt like punching his face which wasn't handsome anymore?
His way of talking with her changed her mind towards him and now she wanted to beat the shit out of his blank face.
Noah arch his brow when he saw how insensible she was. Wasn't she yelling at him for the damage he did to her car? Then why isn't she taking it?
He roamed his eyes on her entire face and found her attractive but her mouth wasn't that alluring. She was loud when she spoke. He quietly took a note of it.
"Look miss I know it's my mistake so I am just paying for it" he ignored her blurt words and still went ahead to mend for the mistake he committed.
Alice hated those men who like to show up their wealth and the person who stood in front of her was the same.
"No need- keep your money with you and make sure you drive keeping your eyes wide open" saying she turned and stormed back to her car driving it away from there.
Noah was stunned by how fierce the lady was which made him more excited about her.
"Interesting women"

Inside the suite, Ashley walked out after taking the shower and got ready to start her day. She was excited to first look at the entire resort which was labeled as the best resort for holidays.
Stepping out of her room she was about to lock walk when the door next to her suite opened and Tristan stepped out.
"Oh my god.. what a surprise, we met again" Tristan faked his excitement which made Ashley roll her eyes.
Was he always that over dramatic, she thought.
No, because the day she met him for the first time, he was dominating and the second time she met him he was generous but now he was annoying her.
Ignoring him she walked through the hallway and stopped in front of the elevator.
Ashley wanted to be as far as possible from him because she didn't want to spoil her mood by getting mocked by him.
"You look beautiful" an air blew near her ear that made her flinch back turning her head to the side and she saw Tristan standing next to her.
He had his hands tucked in his pocket while his bright smile bloom his entire being making her irresistible to avert her eyes from him.
'Are you thinking of kissing him' the evil demon on her right shoulder poked her breaking her gaze away from him?
'No. I can't get swayed by his charms' she said brushing the evil demon that flew away from her.
Ashley didn't want to admit it but that one night she spent with him had already bore a seed in her heart that was growing slowly.
She was never held so protectively by anyone before but the way his warmth made her forget her pain she felt like sticking to him even more.
'Why was he affecting her so much she couldn't help but ask herself.
While she kept talking to herself the lift reach their floor and the door opened.
Both Tristan and Ashley stepped in together and the door closed. Their suites were on the last floor of the resort's tall building and it took them a while to reach the ground floor.
Ashley ignore him as much as possible because his hot breath was still lingering next to her ear which turned her body to heat up.
Tristan on the other hand was enjoying being close to Ashley. He wanted to do everything to make her agree to their marriage and for that, he had to use his charms on her.
Even if she keeps ignoring he was still going to make her feel his presence around her. He knew just like him even though she was smitten by the night they were tangled in each other arms.
Though he wasn't intoxicated like her when they kissed he had begun to lose his mind completely giving in to her demands.
Looking at the screen Ashley tap her feet waiting for the elevator to take her down so she would walk away from him.
His manly fragrance was knocking her senses making her remember the night she had sex with him.
"God please help me or else I will pounce on him" she muttered under her breath.
