An Ice Queen for sale (Alice)

Chapter 88 The end of the game

We sat there for a little while, when I heard dad sighing

"Maybe they told the truth then, and she is fine." "Why do you think that?" +10% Bonus 06:22

"Look son, we know that Alice's mother was one of them. Bianchi was the first guy of the old D'angeli. Even if they never forgave Fiorella and Charles, they might have welcomed their never-seen relative back. In that case Alice belongs to them, they protect her, but that also means Alice can't be a

Sullivan."

""Is Bianchi still alive?"

"No, the Devilles burned their house down long ago, after Fiorella left. Signore & Signora Bianchi died in the fire. They had a horrible death and the old D'angeli took his revenge in a way that we have never seen, not even since."

"How?

"You don't want to know that Seth. You know, maybe after I had my own family I softened a bit too, I don't want to tell you about it, because I never want any of you to experience the world that we were living in at the same age that you are now. Think about the Devilles. They never softened nor changed. Think about hell and multiply it by a hundred."

Even if I thought about my stupid brother this time, I felt it right

at to ask him th

the question what I always wanted to ask, but I never dared to do so

"Why me, dad? I have a nice family, who I'd die for, I've never been reckless or unobedient. Why

by the?"

My dad sighed.

"The reason is exactly what you just said. Unfortunately none of us could choose if we want to live this life, we just continue what we were born into. You know the value of our heritages, and just like you said you never were reckless. Your calmness and smartness makes you able to do this safely as possible, protecting our loved ones. I'm not saying that Gideon won't get there. Alice changed him a lot, but I think he still needs time."

I sighed. Somehow it was nice to feel he trusted me that much, but still I hated that I can't change my life.

I turned on the engine, and I drove back home. We didn't talk on the way. I think both of us were thinking. I felt sorry for Gideon. 1 felt that this had to be the end of the game, and for our family's sake he must accept that

What my dad told me made sense. It really seemed like Riccardo didn't want to hurt Alice. By taking her he might have brought her home only, and if she was one of them, then she had indeed nothing to do in our family, I was sure if they would be together happily my family would accept the connection with the Italians, but it wouldn't work the other way round. Riccardo would never let one of them be a part of us, and Gideon must understand that.

"How much do you want to tell Gideon?" I asked dad. He was thinking.

"I think the best would be to tell him everything as soon as possible. If he'd know that belongs to, he would understand, he must forget about her."

is fine, he could be at ease, and if he knows who Alice

"I think he'll go back to the life that he lived before then I was seriously worried about that

"I know, but hopefully we'll be able to hold him back."

"I don't think so, dad."

He lowered his head, and his facial expression changed. I never saw him like that before

"Seth, I have a plan, and you have to help me."

I frowned, while I stared at him.

Eart, dad."

The shook his head

"Just promise me you'll push Gideon to do what I say."

"Dad..."

"Just promise me."

I looked into his eyes for a few moments, and I saw that he was serious. I nodded,All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Good, and now we can go."

We went back into the house. The gazes questioned us, how it went, but the questions were answered by our faces. My mum looked at us sadly then lowered her head. I never saw her like this. She was hurt and I could see she held her tears back. "Hey beautiful, would you come with grandpa? I got you a present." My dad told Ava. She looked at him and smiled while standing up and walked to

him.

I knew why he did that. He wanted to take her away, so I can tell everything to mum a

and Leah.

As soon as they left the room I explained what we got to kno

know.

My mum shook her head in disbelief. She didn't want to believe it.

"Alice loved Gideon too. I just can't believe she wouldn't contact him if this would be the truth."

"Mum, don't forget that Riccardo is the leader. Even if they treat her well, I don't think he'd let her talk to Gideon.

"No, that just can't be. She is smart enough to contact us. I just can't believe it." Mum nearly shouted.

I lowered my head, and Leah sat next to me, to hold my hand, trying to calm me down. She knew how hard it was for me too. Actually, she was the only

one who knew,

"Don't you say that you gave up on her." My mum told me angrily. I just lowered my head more. I knew that Gideon was her favourite, he was always the favourite, but this time I couldn't do anything, so seeing her fouriousness I just thought it's better to remain quiet. I was ready to accept the agner which she was about to pour on me, when I heard someone enter. I looked there and I felt worse to see Sloan standing there with Gideon. I didn't know how much they heard about it, but seeing their surprised faces made me feel like I just wanted to leave.

"What's the matter, mum?" Gideon and Sloan asked the question at the same time. My mum just lifted her hands up like she was giving up and shook her head while I could see tears appearing in her eyes. Gideon frowned, and walked to her. He held her gently. Then he looked at me
