An Ice Queen for sale (Alice) novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 Can’t say no 

“Sloane… I can’t, I’m sorry. I have to go.” 

I really had to leave, because I felt like crying, and I didn’t want her to see me like that. 

She just stood there, looking at me, while I sat in my 

I sat in my car. I couldn’t see clearly because of my tears, but I turned the engine on. I wiped my eyes, then I drove away. When I looked into the mirror, I saw her standing there, watching me leave. 

When I was far away, I pulled down on the side. I closed my eyes, 

es, then I took a deep breath. What she said was the truth. And yes. They never hurt me. Even if they kept me in fear for a long time, they never hurt me. I indeed had a wealthy and powerful family, but what could I do? 

I offered him Riccardo’s help, but Seth didn’t let him accept that. What else could I have done? How could they expect me to watch my lover appearing in public with another woman? How could I be at ease, while sitting home, knowing he is with her day and night, waiting for him to appear secret for an hour, if I’m lucky, then leaving me alone again? What about me? 

I lowered my head, and these kinds of thoughts were in my mind continuously. 

I needed a long time to calm down and be able to drive on. After I drove back to my flat, I showered. I just let the water run on my face and body while I was hugging myself. I knew Gideon loved me, and I knew he suffered just as much as me. 

I made a fist, then I hit the tile, like it would help me. My strength gave up on me, which frustrated me, but I couldn’t bear this any longer. I closed the water, dried myself, and I dressed up. I went to the D’angell house. 

When Lentered, the housekeeper told me that Alexandra went out shopping, and Matteo was asleep. 

“And the Signore?” 

“He is in the garden.” 

“Thank you.” 

I walked out, and I saw him instantly. He laid on a sofa in peace with a cigar in his hand. 

“Riccardo.” 

He opened his eyes and looked at me, surprised. 

“Alice, I expected you to come later.” 

“The training ended earlier today,” 

“I see. And how did it go?” 

I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. 

“I couldn’t land the Axel properly again.” 

“Don’t take it to heart, dear, I know you’ll do that perfectly in the competitions.” 

I sat down next to him. 

“I also got my dress too. It’s so beautiful.” 

I took my p 

phone, then I showed the picture. He smiled. 

“You look beautiful, dear.” 

“Thank you for buying them for me. 

He smiled 

“You know there isn’t anything that i wouldn’t give you, Alice. I hope it will bring you luck.“”“Thank you.” 

Chapter 135 Can’t say no 

He caressed my back. I wanted to talk to him about Gideon, but I really didn’t know how to bring him up. 

“Alice, are you alright?” 

I smiled and shook my head. 

He looked away and his facial expression showed a little anger. 

“Don’t tell me it’s again about that bastard.” 

I looked at him suddenly, and he rolled his eyes, 

“Sorry, Gideon.” He said mockingly. 

ey Riccardo, but…” and my voice trailed off. I could feel his arms around me, and he pulled me into a hug. He waited till I calmed down. 

“I’m sorry 

“Did he see you?” 

“No, not him. Sloane.” 

“What did she want?” 

“She just told me things, actually he reminded me of a few things. And what she said was so true. He never gave up on me, and now that he would need me, I gave up on him. 1 

know he isn’t the best person in the world, but I love him so much, and I just feel what I’ve done isn’t fair.” 

“Alice, you can’t be the second option. It doesn’t matter how much you suffer, but I won’t let it be.” 

“I know, and I don’t want that either. But maybe you could help.““Alice, he doesn’t want me to help. And let me mention I only got this far with a Sullivan, because of you. Otherwise, I would have never wasted my time on any of them.” 

“But it’s not him, Riccardo. He told me he wanted to ask you, but Seth refused the idea.” 

He remained quiet for a few minutes. He was thinking for a while, but finally he turned to me. 

. he could 

“Look, if he accepts my help even though Seth forbade that, then that means he is turning his back to him, ignoring his blood. In that case, I even be disinherited by Spencer, as it makes him unloyal of his name and blood. Our life is really difficult with a lot of rules” 

“He loves his family.” 

“I know, but he also loves you. It’s a hard decision, but he must make it. Or if you love him foolishly, you can wait for him.” 

“No, that would be like I gave him a holiday out of the relationship.” 

“Exactly. And as you are my blood, I won’t let him humiliate you, never.” 

“But what if his family would understand later that he’s done everything for them?” 

“I don’t know, Alice. But I’m st 

sure Spencer wouldn’t cooperate with me.” 

“Why?” 

“Why?” He repeated my question with a laugh. 

“Because they are much smaller than us, and they always tried to beat us. If he would cooperate with me, that would mean he would surrender to me Even if I wouldn’t want to be their leader, that would break his pride,” 

“Is that really that 

“In our world? Yes.” 

important if someone wants to kill your family?” I frowned, I honestly didn’t understand 

I looked at him suddenly. He laughed, then kissed d my forehead. 

Chapter 135 Can’t say no 

“Don’t worry, kid. With me, that would never happen. We are the biggest family and organisation. No one could beat us.” 

I laid back my head on his shoulder. We remained quiet for a while, then Riccardo broke the silence first. 

“Let me find out what this is all about. If I find the answers, then maybe we can think about a solution.” 

“Would you do that for me?” 

I looked at him. 

“Alice, I told you anything that I can do, I will do to make you happy. But…..” 

“But what?” 

“I’m not allowing you to run back to him.” 

“What do you mean?” 

“I only allow you to go back to him, if he has only you. If he is ready to announce that he is with you, ignoring his family’s opinion or order, then you
