An Ice Queen for sale (Alice)

Chapter 90 The signature.

I was fuming. First, I was angry at Seth. I didn't know why he thought that he's got the right to tell me what I should do, and there was my dad also, I couldn't believe how he could say that the game was over.

As I held my crying mum I had many thoughts in my mind. I never hurt Alice, I never could do that. I tried to be cold to her, but I couldn't do that in the end. I truly loved her, and even if she was smart, her acting wasn't a lie. I felt that she truly loved me and in the end thatContent rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

bloody conflict between us was because she was jealous. Because she didn't want to lose me.

My chest felt heavy when I thought about what could be the truth. Even if she was alive, or she was in the D'angell house, probably something or someone held her back from contacting me.

It had to be like that, and my heart also ached for her when I imagined she was probably still waiting for me to go for her.

"Don't worry Gideon, I'll make sure your father does something."

""Yeah, I know,"

She pushed herself away, wiping her te

tears.

"None of my children can be sad."

I sighed. She tried to smile at me and walked away. I never really saw her crying before. To see her like this made me feel worse.

"So, what is your plan?" Sloan asked me as soon as my mum left.

"I'm going to go to their house again, and I'm going to ask for proof that Alice is alive. If they prove that to me, then I'll get some guys with me for her."

She sighed.

"I don't know Gideon. Dad clearly said what to do."

"Don't start that, Sloane

"But Gideon, think with a clear mind. You know that I'm not against you, and I like Alice, but..."

"Stop it, I don't want to hear that."

s who will come

"But what if... what if she really is well, and she just agreed to be out of our family. To start a new life. If Riccardo offered her that, then I think she could have accepted it." "No. She loves me."

Sloan took a breath ready to speak, but her words stuck inside her. I think she realised that there is no point in arguing with me. I wouldn't change m mind, not even if my father or Seth tells me that.

Later we had dinner, but none of us really talked to each other, Mum asked me if I'm staying with them, but I had other plans. I needed to go to the club today to meet a new client, but after that I wanted to go to the D'angeli house.

I went back home first, to get ready. The new client was a woman. Her family had a business, they sold alcohol. The small information that my dad told e I thought they obviously cleaned money. I didn't care about that unless they wouldn't pull me into their business. They wanted to give us an offer to deliver all alcohol for the club. I wanted to ignore them, but dad pushed me to meet and listen to them at least.

When I arrived the club was still empty as it was before opening time. I enjoyed the silence. I went up into my office, and I just sat there holding m head. I felt exhausted. I couldn't really sleep recently. I was thinking of taking some drugs, but I always thought about Alice. What would she say if she'd come back and find me in a state that was unacceptable for her?

This question held me back all the time from doing something stupid. Actually, I've gone a bit mad. I was possessed with this dream. I filled the fridge every single day with fresh vegetables, meat that she liked and small bottles of water, which she liked to take for training, I kept her wardrobe nice and tidy, her toiletries neatly packed on the shelf in my bathroom.

I wanted everything to be ready for her return.

I got everything ready just in case I'd sign off with the new client which I didn't think so. I just finished, when my office door opened. I raised my head to see who it was, and I was really surprised when I saw my dad step in "What are you doing here?"

"Good evening for you too, son." I frowned

"Are you still angry because of Seth?"

"Yes, but it's not the reason why I came today."

I locked at him questioningly

"I don't think your head d is clear, and after Seth had enough of you I came to make sure you are doing the right thing."

I frowned again

"Why do you think Seth is better than me?"

He just took an envelope out of his suit's inner pocket and dropped it on the table in front of me instead of answering my question.

I looked at the envelope, and I opened it to see its contents.

My heart pounded faster when I saw a new divorcing document, but this time, it wasn't an agreement about starting the procedure; it was a document of the result. It said Alice and I were officially divorced. I tossed it on the table. "So, this is all that you came for? Don't you think I have enough problems to deal with?" I fumed.

"Actually, this was one reason. With this document, I just wanted to time."

1 shrugged my shoulders.

"And what? Anyone can fake it."

"Yes, I knew you were going to say that, but just to know the truth, I paid for professionals to check it. They matched it with Alice's original signature found on the internet as autographs. And the two handwritings are perfectly matched." His words made me feel like I was suffocating, but I still didn't want to belleve him,

"If that would be the truth, then I think I don't have to make you remember that Riccardo probably didn't ask her to sign it nicely, if you know what I

milan."

"That could be the case, but the experts also said that the writing is clear. There is nothing that would say that she was forced to sign it."

1 looked away. Honestly, I felt like crying. I didn't remember when I cried last time, but this time I felt like I was going to. My dad stood up and came closer to me. He put his palm on my shoulder.

"I know it's hand, son, and I'm really sorry. B

1. y. But probably Alice chose that life instead of this one. And we have to accept her decision."

"Dad, I just can't. I miss her." I buried my head into my palms, elbowing on the table. My dad patted my shoulder.

"I know, son, and I'm so sorry to say that, but I truly believe the best thing you can do to yourself is to move on."
