Chapter 159

Chapter 159 Amazon “Gideon, Alice!” She shouted our names before she stood up and ran to us. I lifted her up and kissed her cheek, then she hugged Alice. Alice wrapped her arm around her shoulder and we walked to the others together.

When we reached them, my y mum stood up first and she kissed both of us. Sloane did the same. Leah came to me first, then she hugged Alice. Seth and my father only glanced at us. Their gazes were so cold, apparently they were fuming.

We sat down. Alice did not let my hand go. Everyone sat there in silence, which became awkward shortly.

“Alice, when is your next performance? My mum broke the silence finally.

“I won’t really perform, Mrs. Sullivan. I am competing.”

“Oh, when is you next competition?” She asked me in surprise.

“The competitions are starting in a month. I expect good scores, so hopefully, I’ll be an olympian.”

“Will you compete with the program that we sme last time?”

“Yes. That is my long program.

“you were exquisite, and you are really talented. I’m sure you’ll finish on the podium.”

She smiled.

“Thank you, Mrs. Sullivan.”

“How is your life now?” Sloane asked her with a hint of disappointment in her voice, but Alice just smiled.

“It is excellent. I never thought my father would appear in my life. I never even dared to dream about a father as good as Riccardo Seth looked at her suddenly while frowned.

“Now seriously? Are we seriously going to listen to her delfying Riccardo D’angeli?”

“Mrs. Sullivan asked me a question, and I answered. I proudly say that he is my father. Maybe you don’t like him, but he made me like him as my my father in this short time I spent with him, and I couldn’t wish for a better parent. I’m sorry if you don’t like it, but because I am with Gideon, I belong here as well. You can’t help it, so accept it My eyes were wide open in surprise, like the other’s, while I listened to Alice, who said these words with confidence. Probably, she would not have done that if she would have known Seth. Alice did not know her words and confidence only were fuel on the fire.

Seth leaned closer, and he looked at her with his killer look.

“You know, Alice, the only thing that I regret is I was underestimated you, and that I couldn’t see the real you. If I did, I would have been the one to deliver you to the Devilles.”

“Seth, stop it.” My mum tried to interrupt, but Seth ignored that. Instead of listening to her, he motioned Leah to take Ava away.

She did not want to go, of course, but Leah took her into her arms and walked away with her.

“You know, Alice, you could wrap my stupid brother around your finger easily, but you can’t do that to me. You are nothing else than a sneaky little...” He missed the last word as everyone looked at him with widened eyes. I was the one who was ready to jump at him and tear his tongue out if he would have called her that.

“The only re reason you could be made him turn his back on his family is that we didn’t take you as a potential enemy”

“Seth, stop it!” I shouted at him while fuming. Alice squeezed my hand to let it be, but I was about to lose my patient.

“What you you have done will be never forgiven. All because a cunt was more important than your family.”

He pointed at me, which made me feel like I had enough of him. I stood up suddenly, and I wanted to walk closer to him, but Alice held me back.

Chapter 159 Amazon “Gideon, it’s fine. We are only having a conversation.”

Then she looked at Seth, still holding me.

“Seth, think before you talk. Are you seriously blaming me for him turning his back on his family? Didn’t you expect him to fuck and marry a whore, ignoring his feelings? He hated that woman. Even if that you forced him to be with her, and you would even watch him to marry her happily. You didn’t care about him at all. You have got to know that I’m alive, and we were back together, but still you kicked him once more by making him feel remorse that bad he chosen his family over me. How dare you say that he left his family because of me?”

Everyone looked at him, appalled. But Alice did not finish.

“Mr. Sullivan lives happily with Mrs. Sullivan. You live happily with Leah. Amber wasn’t a lesbian, so you couldn’t use Sloane, so who else left? Your stupid brother, isn’t it? It was easier to tell him to give up on me, and use him to solve this case instead of caring about his feelings and needs.”

She used a tone that made everyone’s eyes widen again. Only I felt emotional, like never.

She knew the whole time how broken I was because of my family, even if I did not tell her about this and about my feelings. She was next to me to help me endure the happenings, and now she tried to stand up for me. I could not describe how much I loved her.

“I didn’t know you are alive for fuck’s sake!” Seth sh “Bullshit! You knew that exactly...

Seth shouted at her this time.

“Enough!” We all listened to the direction of my father, who roared at them. He stood up and the anger mixed with sadness was written on his face. He looked at me.

“Gideon, I want to talk to you.”

Then he turned to Seth and Alice.

“Stop arguing, you two.” He ord.

Then he turned to mums.

He ordered them. “I don’t want to hear any of you talking about this case anymore.”

“Elaine, please make sure they won’t argue while we are talking.”

Mum nodded, like she expected this to happen, and she ruled everything. I liked that, to be honest. That told me at least their relationship was sorted. I followed dad. He led me to the swimming pool, and we sat down. I
