An Ice Queen for sale (Alice)

Chapter 135 Can't say no

"Sloane... I can't, I'm sorry. I have to go."

I really had to leave, because I felt like crying, and I didn't want her to see me like that.

She just stood there, looking at me, while I sat in my

I sat in my car. I couldn't see clearly because of my tears, but I turned the engine on. I wiped my eyes, then I drove away. When I looked into the mirror, I saw her standing there, watching me leave.

When I was far away, I pulled down on the side. I closed my eyes,

es, then I took a deep breath. What she said was the truth. And yes. They never hurt me. Even if they kept me in fear for a long time, they never hurt me. I indeed had a wealthy and powerful family, but what could I do?

I offered him Riccardo's help, but Seth didn't let him accept that. What else could I have done? How could they expect me to watch my lover appearing in public with another woman? How could I be at ease, while sitting home, knowing he is with her day and night, waiting for him to appear secret for an hour, if I'm lucky, then leaving me alone again? What about me?

I lowered my head, and these kinds of thoughts were in my mind continuously.

I needed a long time to calm down and be able to drive on. After I drove back to my flat, I showered. I just let the water run on my face and body while I was hugging myself. I knew Gideon loved me, and I knew he suffered just as much as me.

I made a fist, then I hit the tile, like it would help me. My strength gave up on me, which frustrated me, but I couldn't bear this any longer. I closed the water, dried myself, and I dressed up. I went to the D'angell house.

When Lentered, the housekeeper told me that Alexandra went out shopping, and Matteo was asleep.

"And the Signore?"

"He is in the garden."

"Thank you."

I walked out, and I saw him instantly. He laid on a sofa in peace with a cigar in his hand.

""Riccardo."

He opened his eyes and looked at me, surprised.

"Alice, I expected you to come later."

"The training ended earlier today,"

"I see. And how did it go?"

I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.

"I couldn't land the Axel properly again."

"Don't take it to heart, dear, I know you'll do that perfectly in the competitions."

I sat down next to him.

"I also got my dress too. It's so beautiful."

I took my p

phone, then I showed the picture. He smiled.

"You look beautiful, dear."

"Thank you for buying them for me.

He smiled

"You know there isn't anything that i wouldn't give you, Alice. I hope it will bring you luck.""""Thank you." Chapter 135 Can't say no

He caressed my back. I wanted to talk to him about Gideon, but I really didn't know how to bring him up.

"Alice, are you alright?"

I smiled and shook my head.

He looked away and his facial expression showed a little anger.

"Don't tell me it's again about that bastard."

I looked at him suddenly, and he rolled his eyes,

"Sorry, Gideon." He said mockingly.

ey Riccardo, but..." and my voice trailed off. I could feel his arms around me, and he pulled me into a hug. He waited till I calmed down.

"I'm sorry

"Did he see you?"

"No, not him. Sloane."

"What did she want?"

"She just told me things, actually he reminded me of a few things. And what she said was so true. He never gave up on me, and now that he would need me, I gave up on him. 1

know he isn't the best person in the world, but I love him so much, and I just feel what I've done isn't fair."

"Alice, you can't be the second option. It doesn't matter how much you suffer, but I won't let it be."

"I know, and I don't want that either. But maybe you could help." Alice, he doesn't want me to help. And let me mention I only got this far with a Sullivan, because of you. Otherwise, I would have never wasted my time on any of them."

"But it's not him, Riccardo. He told me he wanted to ask you, but Seth refused the idea."

He remained quiet for a few minutes. He was thinking for a while, but finally he turned to me.

"Look, if he accepts my help even though Seth forbade that, then that means he is turning his back to him, ignoring his blood. In that case, I even be disinherited by Spencer, as it makes him unloyal of his name and blood. Our life is really difficult with a lot of rules" "He loves his family."

"I know, but he also loves you. It's a hard decision, but he must make it. Or if you love him foolishly, you can wait for him."

"No, that would be like I gave him a holiday out of the relationship."

"Exactly. And as you are my blood, I won't let him humiliate you, never."

"But what if his family would understand later that he's done everything for them?"

"I don't know, Alice. But I'm st

sure Spencer wouldn't cooperate with me."

"Why?"

"Why?" He repeated my question with a laugh.

"Because they are much smaller than us, and they always tried to beat us. If he would cooperate with me, that would mean he would surrender to me Even if I wouldn't want to be their leader, that would break his pride," "Is that really that

"In our world? Yes."

I looked at him suddenly. He laughed, then kissed d my forehead.

"Don't worry, kid. With me, that would never happen. We are the biggest family and organisation. No one could beat us."

I laid back my head on his shoulder. We remained quiet for a while, then Riccardo broke the silence first.

"Let me find out what this is all about. If I find the answers, then maybe we can think about a solution."

"Would you do that for me?"

I looked at him.

"Alice, I told you anything that I can do, I will do to make you happy. But....."

"But what?"

"I'm not allowing you to run back to him."

"What do you mean?"

"I only allow you to go back to him, if he has only you. If he is ready to announce that he is with you, ignoring his family's opinion or order, then you

can be with him."

I lowered my head and nodded.

"Alice, I love you, but you must have some limits. Like I said, I won't let you get humiliated by anyone."

"No, I wouldn't let that happen, either."

"Good."

He pulled me closer, and he kissed my forehead. I laid my head back on his shoulder again. That was incredible how close we could get in a short time. He gave me more kindness and love than I ever got in my life. I started to love him as my father. Gideon

The days have passed slowly, and I haven't felt better. That whore became my everyday guest, which I hated really much. I got used to locking my bedroom. I never allowed her to go in there. Ones she nearly argued with me about that, but I lost my mind, and I told her if she doesn't like it, then just get the fuck out of here.

She was even more clingy. She came with me everywhere. I felt like I would go mad. I didn't dare to drink or take drugs, as I was afraid I would lose my mind, and one day when I was unconscious, she would make me do something that I would regret. If one day that happened and she was saying she got pregnant or something, I thought that would be a reason for me to finish... her first.

I was tired of Seth, too, I called him every single day asking him if he could find out something about our father, but he always apologised to me as he had something to do

with our family, or that was about Ava's skating. Many times he said they were busy as the gala came soon.

I really felt he betrayed me this way. I really thought that he only made me do what our father wanted me to, so he can continue his happy life with his family.

I sat at my pool. That whore used my sauna. Then she wanted to swim again. I thought I had a few minutes to enjoy my place at least, but when she appeared and she kissed my face while she caressed my chest unexpectedly, I had enough. I jumped up. "What is it, Gideon?" Amber laughed. She sat down next to me and she stared at me for a few seconds. She only had her bottom part of her bikini on. When we were alone in

the house, she wore nothing. She got used to walking around inside an outside of the house naked, which made me feel more terrible.

She shook her head, and she took her sun cream. I turned my head away, I didn't want to see that.

"What?" I told her, looked in the other direction.

"Okay, let's make a deal."

"What?"

give you a day off. You won't see me for a day if you want that, but now, look at me. You watch me until I say you can move your gaze."

I laughed and burned my head back.

Amber smiled and took the cream. She applied that slowly, taking time at her breasts. She put a good amount on her nipples. The cream was cold, so her nipples hardened. He massaged them with her fingers.
