Chapter 126 Something is wrong
I think she used me to calm down, as she just enjoyed my arms wrapped around her quietly after kissing me, and she held me tight, laying her head on my shoulder. I held her tight too, but seeing her trainer’s angry gazes, I caressed her back and I let her go
She looked at me with a frown. I leaned closer.
“Alice, I love you, but your trainers are about to kill me.”
She made a face that made me smile, then she turned to Beth.
“Beth, just give me five minutes, please.”

“Three minutes, then I want

She turned around and left. The way she said that angered me, and I was about to tell something when Alice pinched me.
“Gideon, calm down. She is my trainer. She must be like this.”
“I don’t think she gets her money to treat you like this.”
“Leave it. How come you are here?”
“Just wanted to see
She smiled at me, and wrapped her amis around my neck, then she kissed me. I kissed her back, wished I could keep her like that forever.
“Could I see you this afternoon?”
I asked her after our lips parted.
“Yes, I’m just popping into the D’angell house, then I’ll be in my flat”
“text you.”
“okay.”
We kissed again, and I had to let her go. She went back on the ice. I watched her for a few more seconds, then I left.
After I was out of the building, 1 sat in my car for a little while. I felt I wouldn’t be able to do this, but Seth’s words were also in my head. Dad treated me like this because he had to. He always loved all of us so much, he wouldn’t have done anything like this if he wouldn’t have been forced to. And what if one day Sloane disappears? Or they are going to do something to mum, Leah, or the kids? Could I live happily if I selfishly lived with Alice undisturbed and ignore my family? It was hard to breathe with these thoughts in my head. I felt like everything was meaningless when I made my decision.

I felt so happy to see Gideon. I didn’t even care that Beth scolded me. After he came here, wanted to defend me, and hugged me tight, I felt compl08:47 calmed. As soon as I got back on the ice, I needed to force myself to think about skating instead of him. I really didn’t want to give Beth another casua to be angry with me, so even though it was hard, and I wanted nothing else than being with Gideon, I focused on skating,
Surprisingly, I landed all my triple Axel attempts perfectly. After a few jumps, 1 felt like I needed a little rest, so I just skated around. Beth got next to

“Beth, I haven’t noticed he was here, and why would he d

I rolled my eyes, regretting it instantly. I knew then why she started this conversation.

“But that is different, Alice. I think your boyfriend shouldn’t come in anytime while you are training. Love is a nice thing, but now you have to focus on skating. I think I don’t need to remind you about…..”
I stopped.
“Beth, I know, And I want to win the Olympics. I’m on it, and I’m ready to fight for it. But Gideon means a lot to me and I just got him back.”
She looked at me suddenly.
“Oh, you child. Don’t say that this man was your change.”

“Okay, then let’s say that you have two important things in your life. The two important things never can be mixed. Understand?”
I rolled my eyes, this time in disbelief, while I exhaled.
“So?”
“I will talk to him, not to disturb me while I’m on training.”

“Good. And now that you rested enough, I believe you
I took a deep breath. Actually, I disagreed with her. Gideon had a beneficial effect on me. I knew that and I didn’t care what she thought about it.
With these thoughts, I skated away from her, and I did what she said. I couldn’t wait to finish today. I couldn’t wait to see him
It seemed like ages, when I finished in the gym with Gareth, finally. I jumped into my car, and this time I drove away straight after I turned the engine on. I went back to my new home, and I had a shower. When I saw Gideon tidied up before he left, 1 felt thrilled. It was something that he wouldn’t do for anyone. When we lived together, I did it for him. To know that he could change because of me made me fall in love with him more.
After I was ready, I drove to the D’angeli house. We spent a little time together while we played with Matteo outside. We laughed a lot, especially when Riccardo played with the little one. I couldn’t believe that the man who was playing with that little one on his knees was one of the scariest mafia leaders.
I loved to spend time with them, but after we put Matteo to sleep, I told them I had to leave.
They weren’t surprised at all, and they didn’t hold me back. I drove back to my flat, but my phone was quiet. He knew what time I was finishing, and I knew he probably wasn’t busy. I wanted to wait for him to text me, but I gave up.
“I’m home, x′′
1 had to wait a few minutes, which angered me, but finally, my phone vibrated.
