We all looked at each other.

“Is he the person who raised you from your birth?” My dad asked her.

“Alice dear, would you

you mind giving us your address in Canada?”

She looked at my dad, then she looked at me.

“We need him to answer some questions.” I told her just to give her a clue about what we were going to do.

Are you about to hurt him?” She asked.

My dad just wanted to say something, but I knew she was asking this question out of curiosity, and not because she wanted to defend him.

“Well, I don’t think he’d stay

My dad looked at her weirdly.

“Don’t you mind that darling, if he’s going to get hurt?” He asked with a frown

“I hate his guts.”

“I see.” My dad said sadly.

“The only thing I ask, please don’t hurt my mother. She doesn’t deserve that.

She is only the victim of him, too.”

“Alice, 1

I can promise that your mum won’t get hurt.”

“Thank you.”

She looked sad, and all of us stayed quiet, but Sloane stood up suddenly and she looked at us.

Okay, now there is enough from work, and sad things. Today they invited us to celebrate, and we can’t celebrate with sad

“Me and Alice looked at her questioningly.”

“Yes everyone, we are celebrating today, so leave the work for tomorrow.”

d faces.

I heard my mum’s voice while she clapped her hands together once from behind us. They were all back. Only Ava’s cute face showed disappointment.

⠀⠀⠀ She kept staring at Alice, who sat on my lap, and wrapped one arm around my neck. That made me smile.

“And what are we celebrating?” I asked mum, who smiled widely

og our new member of the Sullivans. Alike dear, it makes me thrilled you found each other finally. Welcome to the family.”

“We are celebrating

She moved to us and kissed Alice’s face first, then mine. I shook my head with a smirk. My mum was really annoying sometimes, but I knew how much she loved me and her family, and I was so grateful for having them. I knew from now on, they would treat Alice well, trying to make up for the past, giving Alice a family that she never had

Soon the servants brought a bottle of champagne, and we all, this time including Alice, drank for the occasion. After chatting for a while, mum invited us into the house as the dinner was ready.

We had a pleasant time together. S Sloane, Leah and Ava stayed close to Alice. They mostly talked about figure skating.

Because we drank a hit, we all stayed in there for the night. When we all agreed that was time to go to sleep, I lead Alice happily into my old rooms. had a shower first. I was waiting for her in the room. When I Enished in the bathroom as well, I found her sitting on the sofa. I owned at that. hoped

she didn’t think she would sleep separately.

“Alice, what are you doing in there?

She looked at me and smiled.

“I thought I would wait for you here.” Then she stood up and went to bed. She covered herself completely, but this time, she didn’t turn her back to me when I climbed into bed next to her. Apparently, she still felt uncomfortable, so I moved closer and 1 embraced her. She didn’t refuse. She let me hold her. I closed my eyes, ready to sleep, when I heard her whispering.

“Gideon.

“Do you really want me to be with you?”

I opened my eyes, then I looked at her. I couldn’t see much of her pretty face, as only the moonlight gave us some light in the dark room.

“Why do you think I’m not?”

“That isn’t an answer.”

I sighed.

“Yes, I really want to be with you, Alice.”

“Won’t you feel bored with me later?”

“Why would I? You are far more interesting than getting bored with you.”

“How could you be so sure about that?”

Before I talked. I sighed again. I never thought that these words would leave my mouth anytime in my life, but knowing what kind of life she lived, I understand why she couldn’t trust people. I wanted her to trust me, therefore I decided I would be honest with her.

“Alice, I told you how I was before. Actually, I never thought I can like a woman so much I could start a relationship and share what I have, but then you came. You showed me how different life can be if there is someone who cares about you. You gave me an example of how many good things can come with a relationship,

I chuckled.

“And let me tell you, your natural beauty amazed me, too. You don’t know how many times I felt last while I watched your butt in the kitchen, or when my eyes were stuck on your chest when you were training.”

She laughed too.

“Really?”

“Yes”

I stopped laughing, and I just looked at her with a smile while I caressed her cheek.

“You know, the first time I saw you at our wedding I lost my confident about my plan. I knew it wouldn’t work. I think I had feelings for you then already.”

She moved closer to me, then kissed me. When our lips parted, she looked at me.

“I know it’s mad, but I want to stay with you, Gideon,” she whispered.

“Then we’ll stay together.” I said.

She smiled at me while she moved back into my embrace, and she closed her eyes. I kissed her forehead, moved my hand to hold her butt, which made her chuckle quietly, then I closed my eyes too.

Chapter 49 Plans

The next day, we had breakfast together with the family. Alice definitely looked more comfortable. It was nice to see her happy. Sloane wanted to take her out for shopping, to hand out, but I had to say no for that. Unfortunately, until we didn’t solve the conflict with Riccardo, I couldn’t let Alice go anywhere, especially not without me.

We agreed Alice can train with Ava every Tuesday and Wednesdays. Ava wanted to train with her more, but I had to say no to that, too. This wasn’t because I was afraid Alice would be in danger, it was more because I still wanted to push her to focus on her sport career. I wanted to encourage her gently to follow her dreams.

After breakfast, we had a chat with Seth and our father. He said that he will try to find Charles and get some information out of him. We all agreed to catch the person Riccardo was looking for would be beneficial for us, but we were more interested in uncovering the connections. Somehow I felt that would be the key to get out of the situation, and live a normal life again.

We just finished the conversation when I felt my phone vibrating. First, I wanted to ignore it as I had a clue who that was, but then I thought I could be wrong, so I checked it eventually. One of my guys called me from the club. I moved away from everyone, and I rang him back.

“Dave, what’s up?““Gideon, I’m really sorry to disturb you. We are having a problem, and I apologise for complaining.”

“What is it?”

“It’s Gemina

“What happened?”

Chapter 50 Expensive Girlfriend

“She came in with a group of people, and she gave us orders in your name. They drank a lot, but none of them paid. They made six thousand dollar mory loss. She said you gave them persion, and she verbally threatened us. She promised us she would make sure you would kick our asses if we wouldn’t do what the said.”

“What the fack, Dave? Why didn’t you call me?”

“She said you are attending a family event where she wasn’t invited, therefore you gave her this free night as a gift. We questioned her more, but like said, she said as her girlfriend we shouldn’t question her, otherwise she will make sure we won’t get away with it.”

s sake. I’m married.”

She is not may gilfriend, for fuck’s s

He remained quiet for a moment. Obviously, he didn’t understand me. They knew I got married, not knowing the reason though, but they always saw me with Gemma intimately, like I don’t care about my wife at all.

I’m sorry Gideon.”

Normally, I wouldn’t be nice to them after making such a mistake, but this time I let it go.

That’s okay. If she goes there next time, just refuse her. Tell her she is a guest like everyone, so she’s got to pay. Don’t give her anything for free.”

“Understand, Sorry about that, Gideon.““No problem, just make sure you do what I told you”

“Okay.”

I hung up. I should have known that she’d try things like that. Even if I didn’t know what to do, I knew I had to talk to her. I had to make her understand I couldn’t stand her anymore, and what we had between us was over.

After I finished talking on the phone, I stared at Alice from afar. I saw her laughing and chatting happily with the others, including my mum. To see her happy made feel an unfamiliar happiness too. I had to cut every connection with Gemma. Alice deserved the best of me, and once in my life, I wanted to be a loyal partner

This conversation changed my plans. I thought we would stay in my parents‘ house tonight as well. My plan was to go to the club tonight and have a conversation with Gemma. I felt bad to leave Alice here alone, but to know she would be safe with mum and dad surrounding her put me at ease.

I walked back to them and I sat down

“What is it Gideon? Is it something important?”

My dad looked at me, trying to read my face.

“Not a big deal, but I have to leave tonight for a few hours.”

Alice looked at me suddenly. Apparently, she had many questions on her mind, but I didn’t want her to worry.

“Do you need help,

“No, it’s just a minor problem in the club. I’ll deal with it on my own, but if I could ask you to take care of Alice till then, that would be great.”

My dad was thinking for a moment.

“Can I borrow you for a second, Gideon?”

I nodded.

We walked away from everyone, and when we were far enough, my dad started.

“What is that minor problem, son?”

I smiled.

“Well, if you are asking like that, probably you know.”

Heiked this time.

“Alice is a smart young woan, Gideon.”

“I know that

Can I ask you

* you something?”

I looked at him and frowned.

Have you been with her, like you know…”

Phoned more.

Dad, why do you ask that?”

“I’m not interested in the details, s

I looked at the sky in disbelief.

“No, not yet.”

“Then I think it would be better to take her with you.”

“Dad, it’s a club, and you

you know the situation.”

“Yes. And the situation needs Alice to be there with you.”

I shook my head.

“Alice doesn’t belong there, dad.”

“She belongs to you, and to our family. You can’t keep her away from everything that we do.

I remained quiet. My dad stopped and looked at me.

“Don’t misunderstand me, son. Women shouldn’t be involved in business. They are to enjoy the fruits of our labor. But Alice saw you with Gemma, and she got to know you by now. If you two haven’t been together intimately yet, and you leave her, she could think you are cheating on her, and no one wants that

“Why would she think that?” I frowned

“Because she is a woman, and women think too much.”

“I don’t want her to meet Gemma. They had a fight already.”

“What?” Dad looked at me with a sudden move.

“Gemma provoked her. She was doing nasty things to Alice and hit her. Alice lost her mind, and she stopped Gemma by force. I couldn’t blame her.”

“At least we know Alice can defend herself”

“That’s not a problem for when it’s about Gemma.”

“Good.”

I knew there w

was something he kept hidden, but I knew him well. There was no point in asking him.

He turned around and walked back. He finished the conversation.

Slowly, everyone got ready to leave. After saying bye to everyone, I held Alice’s hand, then I led her to my car. Apparently, she waited for me to tell her something, but the only asked me when we were sitting in my car.
