Chapter 100 One more chance

Alice

no, I wasn’t ready for this. I really wished I could just stay in bed, doing nothing. But then I thought When I opened my eyes for my alarm, I thought, no, I w about our conversation with Beth. Yesterday, I got to know she wasn’t so bad, so that made the trainings bearable a little more. And also she was right, when she said this was my only opportunity, and just because I was hetrayed by the only man who I ever loved, I couldn’t ruin my chances.

I got up, then I went to the bathroom as usual. My new, highlighted hair was still weird for me, but I slowly got used to it.

When I was ready, I grabbed my keys, then I went to my car. I wasn’t late at all, so I slowly drove to the sports centre. Just like usual, I sat in my car for a little while, but after telling myself to do it, I got out of it, and strolled inside the centre.

The docemen greeted me with a smile as usual. 1 smiled back even if I wasn’t in the mood to smile at all, and greeted him too.

I walked into the changing room, and I sat down just like always, thinking. And my mind always showed me the same picture. Gideon and that whore.

I shook my head.

“Stop it, Alice.” I scolded myself inside my head. I stood up, exhaled slowly, and I changed my clothes. After massaging my feet a little, I stood up to find my skates, and I felt like my heart stopped when muscular arms wrapped around me, keeping me firmly, and a face touched my shoulder.

Even if the familiar scent made me feel the butterflies in my stomach, I screamed in fear, but when I heard the voice that I knew so well, my eyes widened, and I couldn’t say a word.

“Allee, it’s only me.”

I closed my eyes for a second, as the scent and his powerful arms around me were so pleasurable and so missed. But in a few seconds, all the memories came back into my mind. He left me, divorced me, never came after me, and finally, when I couldn’t stand his absence any longer, I found him with a whore

Anger

ran through my nerves and without thinking, I clenched my fist and I hit him on a man’s most sensitive part.

He let me go immediately and held his lower abdomen. Even if the pain wouldn’t have been visible on his face, his scream have let me know how much pain he felt..

“Why did you do this to me?” He cried.

I looked at him in disbelief.

“Why did I do this to you? Now seriously!

He looked at the ceiling, still holding his precious part.

“Alice, what you saw in the club… I have nothing to do with her. My father wanted to put me in a trap. I swear I didn’t touch her. I have had no one since you disappeared. For fuck’s sake, I thought you might be dead.”

His facial expression showed pain, not physical though. But that wasn’t all that I wanted to know.

“And because you thought I was dead, you didn’t even try to find me. You never came after me, and you signed the divorce agreement without hesitation. Have you also organised a beautiful funeral for me?”

He looked at me with a frown. That made me confused.

“Alice, where did you get this bullshit from? I went after you as soon as I realised you disappeared. We even cooperated with the police. Police dogs found the place where you had been taken by Charles, and we paid enough to find out Riccardo was quicker than us.”

He took a deep breath.

“I went to the D’angeli house about a hundred times, but each time they pointed their guns at me and at my people. I couldn’t get in. And about the divorce agreement, when Riccardo’s lawyer appeared, I tore the sheet into pieces and told him to fuck off. I do not know who put my signature on it.”

“Yeah, and I am a bewitched princess of the fairies. Learn to lie better, Gideon.”

My heart ached like I could scream. What I really wanted was to run into his arms and never let him go again, but knowing him and seeing what I saw just made me untrustful of him. I turned around, then I tried to walk away, but he grabbed my wrist..

“Alice, please believe me. I love you, and I would never hurt you. I was a jerk and I should have treated you and defended you better, but please….just give me a chance to make up for it. Let me show you I am worth being with you.”

“Gideon, let me go. I have to train. My trainer will kill me if I’m late.”

“No,

back.

I shook my head, then I tried to hold my tears be

“Gideon, I have been gifted with another life, and I try to be happy about it. Please don’t ruin that.”

But my voice trailed off.

“Please, Alice. My father and Seth turned their back at me. I can’t even call my people if it’s about you. They think I have gone mad to think I can have you back. Please Alice, my mum and Sloane are next to me, but it only takes minutes for my dad to make them change their mind. I only got you. Please, I love you.”

He held me tighter. That didn’t help at all. I was about to turn around when knocking made both of us jump.

“Allice, how many times have I told you to be on the ice in time?” Beth shouted from outside.

He let me go instantly. I walked to the door not to let Beth enter and see Gideon while I tried to catch my breath. I opened the door, then I tried to act normal.

“I’m sorry Beth. I had to go to the toilet.”

She shook her head, turned around, and left.

I looked back at Gideon, and even if I wanted to run away with him, I left him. Seeing his face hurt me so badly. He seemed hopeless.
