Chapter 110 Warning
I swallowed.
“Alice is worth more than my pride, and more than my life. My mistake is undelayable, and it will torture again. I’m choosing her. It doesn’t matter what price I have to pay for it‘
I still kept my head lowered.
“Your family members turned their backs on you. You are alone. How could you protect her?”
“I’m strong and prestigious enough to create a new group, if that is necessary.”
“Are you?”
for a lifetime. I failed once. I won’t fall
He walked to the window. It took a while for him to speak.
“I watched you for a while, Gideon. I know you could change for Alice, but you still have to prove that you are worth being with my daughter, and you are good enough to belong to my family. The only reason I’m going to give you a chance is because my only daughter loves you.” He remained quiet for a little while, then he continued.
“I always tried to find her, and I missed a lot. Now that she is with me, I try to give her everything that I can, and you have to know she is under my protection. She suffered enough. She can’t be harmed anymore.”
He walked in front of me and motioned for me to stand up. I did. He looked into my eyes.
“Only one chance, Gideon. Keep that in mind.”
I nodded. He nodded too. He walked back to sit down.
“It’s nearly time. Don’t let her wait for you. Carlo will take you back to the lounge, wait for her there.”
As soon as he finished the sentence, the door opened, and Carlo looked at me. I turned around, then I walked to him. I knew that my family would abandon me for what I’ve just done. What I just did was called betrayal, but I kept thinking about them doing the same to me.
I followed him. He led me to a living room.
“let Signorina D’angeli know you are here.”
I nodded, then I walked to the window. I was thinking. Riccardo’s words echoed in my head. It wasn’t just it seemed like Charles was more clever than we thought, and that meant he probably was the part of a bigger group, but he perfectly planned every single step, including the accident. I knew that from now on I couldn’t underestimate him, no matter how small he seemed like.
I needed to recruit new people around me, which was hard, as our group’s principle was trust. And trust can’t be built up in a short time. I knew a few people around me from the club who would be loyal to me over my family. I thought I should start there. And how to prove that I was worthy to be next to Alice? There was only one thing that could amaze Riccardo. If I could catch Charles before he did.
“Gideon.”
1 turned around with a sudden move to feel the amazement that my beautiful girlfriend’s look gave me. Her new, lightly curled hair lightly covered her shoulder and back. She chose a nice blue dress which followed her lines gently with a sexy but restrained cleavage, and her stilettos made her taller.
She smiled at me and walked closer. I smiled back. I held her waist to pull her closer gently, and I gave her a light kiss on her lips.
“You look beautiful.” I whispered to her, keeping her close. Her smile widened
“Thank you.”
“Are you ready?
She nodded. I lifted my arm up, offering her to wrap hers around it, and we walked to the door. Carlo waited for us to open it and let us out. I still

hated to see him close to me, but my beautiful girlfriend smiled at him.
“Thank you, Carlo.” She told him while she walked out, followed by me. I didn’t even look at him. Seeing one of their cars waiting for us made me surprised. I was about to show my disappointment, but I reminded myself, it’s not the time yet to go against Riccardo’s wish.
We got into the car, and the driver drove the car to the gate of the land.
I held Alice’s hand, then I just caressed it with my thumb. She looked calm and happy. That was enough for me.

“Enjoy your evening,” he said, and he let us go to my car. 1 led Alice to it, and I helped her to get in.
I waited for her to fasten her seatbelt, then i turned the engine on
“What did Riccardo tell you?” Alice asked me on the way.
I smiled, but my smile wasn’t happy at all.
“Nothing really.”
“Nothing? Really?” She asked me with a slight laugh. I smiled this time widely.
“He quickly got used to the fact that he has a daughter.”
“He is nice, Gideon.”
I sighed.
“Well, I don’t really know his pleasant side, but if you say so.”
She laughed.
She rested her palm on my tighter remaining quiet for a little while, she turned to look at me.
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll see that soon. We aren’t far away”
What I said was the truth. We arrived in five minutes. To see her looking around curiously made me smile. I remembered she said no one ever took her on a date. I was the first in that too.
I got out of the car, and I helped her out too, I thought that was the right time. I looked at her wrist and I was happy that she didn’t wear a bracelet. I took the box out of my pocket.
She looked at it, surprised.
“What is it?
“Present.”
