Chapter 66 The funeral Riccardo I sat down of my desk after I listened to Carlo. What I heard shocked me. I have been looking for Fiorella for many yes as I wanted to find her to take my revenge on her. To give her what she deserved after betraying me The news of her death didnât really make me happy. I would have rather done it myself, but to know how much she suffered next to that rat gave me some kind of satisfaction. I didnât even know Charles helped her to escape. Even if he became my first target, Fiorellaâs death meant I had another important thing to get done, âWhat about Alice? I looked at Carlo, who lowered his head.
âI apologize, Riccando, The Sullivans are protecting her really well. We had no chance to get close to her yet.â
âHow is that possible?â I asked him in anger. His words made me fuming. Not just because I wanted Alice, but because I couldnât believe that my guys were just not smart enough to win against the damned Sullivans âGemma said Gideon is into her, and the whole family is guiding her.â
me laugh.
His words made me âGideon only needs holes to fuck. It canât be serious.â
However, Carloâs seriousness didnât put me at ease.
âShe said Gideon bought her to be his wife because he hoped to fool you. After the accident, he wanted to protect Gemma, but he changed towards her.â
I thook my head.
âGemma told me everything about that sight. Gideon treated her as his enemy, forcing her to speak. Gideon confessed his love for Alice in the front of them. Gemma hates her, so she has no reason to lie. She would be thrilled if we finally had Alice in our hands.â
âOh, she will. But hold your whore luck, Carla Alice is mine. You must bring her to me.â
âUnderstood Signo âGo now. Leave me alone.â I said after a sigh.
Carlo nodded and stood up. He walked to the door and left without a word. I just sat there, thinking. Surely, that ret hid himself somewhere, watching the happenings. He fooled me like no one before, and that made me faming. I knew I only would be at ee 1 tartared him to death.
I checked the clock. Surely, my loved ones slept this time. I sat down, but my mind didnât want to rest. My nerves couldnât be at ease and I knew I couldnât fill asleep like that. I would only disturb Alexandra 1 walked to the cabinet to take a bottle of fortyâyearâold Dalmore whiskey, and I poured a single shot into a glass. After observing the glass content, I drank it, then Ip I poured another. I closed my eyes while I sat there, holding the glass in my hand, helping my brain to think.
1 sat there for a while with closed eyes, trying to relax, but my eyes opened in astonishment when I felt soft hands caressing my shoulders, slipping down on my chest. And soon I could feel her warm breath on my ear while she whispered to me.
âYou look so tired, and you are so stiff. Let me help you relax,â
I smiled, closing my eyes back while I enjoyed her massage, but she broke the silence soon.
âAre you still thinking about her?â
I opened my eyes again and sighed.
âAlexandra, if you would know how I feel after all they have done to me??
âI know, I see you every day and I can feel how much it hurt you, but you shouldnât worry too much, You are a prominent leader, who gets what he wants, eventuallyâ
âThe Sullivans are guiding her. I canât go close in her. And that rat is hiding so well.â I sighed again.
She remained quiet, but didnât stop massaging me. A few minutes passed when I felt her hand caressing my face. She moved in front of me, and she sat on my lap facing me. In this position, her beautiful breasts were in line with my chin. She only wore a light, silk, greenâcolored nightgowns, which left her breastsâ nearly Chapter 66 The funeral uncovered. That turned me on, of course.
She smiled at me.
âDo you need help?â She asked, but I knew, this time, she meant this case, despite nur intimate position.
âNo, I didnât mean that, leastwise, not yet.â I chuckled, and I couldnât hold myself back from touching her. My palms cupped her feasts and my thumbs stroked her hard nipples through her nightgown.
âYou know, dear, since I married you, I donât want you to get involved in any businesses of mine.â
âI know, but this wouldnât be the same. The Sullivans donât know me. I presuming they donât even know how I lookâ
âStaybe, nevertheless, I canât let you get hurt, Alexandra. And think about Mattes Booâ
âWell, I have an iden, so letâs make a deal, I will tell you about it, and you can decide if you w you want to use it. How is that?â
âDrel.â I said, but even if the case occupied my mind, at that moment there was something else that I really wanted. I held her tight, and I stood up, keeping her in my arms. She wrapped her legs around my waist, and I carried her into our bedroom. As soon as I laid her on the bed, I literally are that nightgown into two pieces.
The funeral took place in Montreal I was grateful for the Sullivans, my new family, for taking the burden off of my shoulder. We only put the obituary in the local newspaper. I didnât expect amone to come, but the Sullivans said we are one family, and they are always there for their family members. That was new to me, but it felt nice.
We travelled to Montreal a day before the funeral, Caden worried a bit about my safety, but I could to take him out for a wall. I thowed him my favourite places. Even though we came to bury my mother, we had a pleasant time.
The next day came quickly. I wore a black womenâs suit with suitable makeup, and I put my hair in a bun. When I looked in the minor, I saw a different woman. That was the first time in my life when an adult woman looked back at me. A little overwhelmed by emotions, but definitely grown up We all got into the black cars with dark windows, taking into the cemetery.
âAre you alright?â Gideon asked me worriedly, âYesâ I plied with a sad smile.
He held my hand in his lap and caressed it with his thumb, When we arrived and left the car, 1 recognised some faces from my âpreviousâ life. They all looked appalled. The reen and women of the Sullivan family looked great and showed off their wealth I held Gideonâs arm. He gently led me to the graveâs place, while our family followed us. When I saw the stone, I assumed they werenât mingy at all, and that just made my heart ache more, I didnât want to cry, but I felt it would be hand to hold it back. Gideon was like he sensed my feelings, because he pulled me into his embrace and caressed my back, crying to calm me down.
The priest had a gracious speech. It wasnât long, but it was emotional.
When the funeral ended, the Sullivans let me have some privacy. I only asked Gideon to stay with me, After we stayed there in silence for a few minutes, every attendant came to me, one by one. They kissed me and expressed their condolences, However, my heart beat faster when I recognised the blond guy in front of me. He glanced at Gideon a lot, but after he kissed me, he hugged me as well, I only hugged him for a second, then I pushed him away from me gently.
âAlice, Iâm so sorry I smiled at him sadly and nodded.
âI know itâs not really the right question, but you okay?â
*Yes Lucas, Fm fine 1 sighed, and just like I would be woken up from my day, I looked at Gideon. His late was motionless, I couldnât read what he was thinking I looked back at Luci âLucas, this is Godeon Sullivan, my husbandTM
