Chapter 146 Remorse
I fell asleep soon. I didn’t need to get up that early that day, but my biological clock didn’t let me sleep longer than a half an hour.
I stayed in bed, tried to stay calm, not to wake Gideon up, but soon his phone vibrated, and I accidentally saw who was looking for him. Amber. He didn’t notice that I was watching him. Gideon checked his phone and made a face, showing disgust. He put his phone down and just then he looked at
“Are you awake already?”
“This is a normal time for me.”
“I forgot.”
He turned over and wrapped his arm around me, trying to go back to sleep, but Amber didn’t give up. After his phone rang for the fifth time, he turned over angrily, and he received the call, only to shout at Amber to let him sleep.
Actually, I should have been angry with him, but I felt sorry for him instead. It seemed like he truly tried to escape from her, but she hunted him like his owner. And I knew I was right, when his phone rang again, and this time it was his father. He rang many times when finally Gideon had enough and took the call.
“Gideon, where the hell are you?” He shouted at him with anger. I never heard Mr. Sullivan use this tone.
“Get your ass up, pick Amber up from the club, and take her to your house.”
“Dad, I want to sleep. Tell her to take a taxi.”
“No, you get up now.”
“No.”
“Listen to me, Gideon. If you don’t get up now and don’t do what I said, I’m going to get all my people to find you in ten minutes. I’ll go for you, and I’ll kill that slut who you are with in front of you.”
My eyes widened. I really didn’t know that side of his father, but now I really wanted Gideon to stay with me. Not because of me, because I from then I seriously worried about him.
I’m really going to regret.” I could see Gideon’s body trembling with anger.
“Dad, don’t make me say something that I’m rea
“You have ten fucking minutes. If I call her and you aren’t there, I’m going to find that whore…”
Gideon hung up. He took a few deep breaths. I think I never saw him angry like this.
I didn’t know what would be the best. To make him calm down, or just to let him calm down by himself.
He finally got up and dressed.
“Gideon, wouldn’t it be better if you would stay? You are angry, and I don’t want you to drive like this and my voice trailed off, which made him turn to me with a sudden move. He sat next to me on the bed. He put his palms on my face and looked into my eyes.
“Alice, listen to me. You can’t break. Today is your big day. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. This is the last time I obey my father, and I’m only doing this so I can be with
Trust me.”
I nodded, but I was afraid he was wrong-
“I’m going now, but I’ll see you at the gala. Text me if you need me. Okay?”
I nodded. He caressed my face, kissed my lips, and he stood up. He had a last look at me, and he left. I tried to calm myself down. He was right. It was my big day, and I couldn’t break.

Chapter 146 Remorse–2
Spencer
He put the phone down on me. I was furious, but the truth was i couldn’t be angry at him. The one who could be blamed for everything was me. Only
To look into the mirror was even harder each day, I felt sorry for Gideon. I loved my son so much, and that was painful for me tou, to force him to do this. To know that be found a girl who could make the loss of Alice better for him should have made me happy. I really wanted to get to know her, but ns Adams wished, I needed to push him to that whore, to Amber,
Every single time when she called me to find my son, or make him obey, 1 could kill her with my bare hands. I knew it would be easier to tell them what that was all about, but my pride didn’t let me tell my family what I used to do for money. Lasked a few people who owed me a favour, but even if all of them would have helped me, we wouldn’t have been enough to win against the Devilles.
There was only one family who could go against them, and I might have said that they owed me this favour, but there was no way I would have asked them to help. I would have never begged Riccardo D’angell,
Soon, that whore texted me that Gideon went to pick her up. I tried not to wake Elaine up, while slipped back into bed. She slept soundly.
It was even harder to make her believe everything was fine. She was next to me for a long time, and she knew me well. She noticed how much I changed, and she didn’t like that at all.
The only thing that she asked me was to make sure I keep my family happy, and she believed Amber would be good for Gideon at first, but she mentioned often she didn’t see the improvement in him, what more, once she said she may be wrong, but Gideon seems like doesn’t like Amber at all. I often lied to her. I said I saw the harmony between them in the club, so probably they just argued about something, but she looked even more like she didn’t believe me.
And Gideon was her little son. Didn’t matter how old he was, he always remained her little son.
She was still missing Alice. She often said she should have been her daughter–in–law, and not Amber. I knew what hurt her the most. She planned a lot about Alice.
First, she knew h
how much Gideon loved her. Second, she was thrilled we could have been related to one of the best figure skaters in the world.
She knew the brands where she would have ordered her dresses from; she wanted to buy the best from everything to make Alice special, and she already planned how we would have rooted for Alice in her competitions and most of all on the Olympics.
On the other hand, Amber wasn’t interesting at all in her eyes. It was mostly me who said she can join her for shopping, but when I said that she always made a face. She was sure Amber would spend Gideon’s money unnecessarily. Unfortunately, I knew Amber would do that.
I got up from bed, and I got ready. The whole family was excited today, as Ava performed in the gala. She improved a lot recently, even though she missed Alice too. The poor little one always said her goal was to become a figure skater like Alice.
I don’t deny that I was thinking of her a lot. I liked her, and to think about where she might end up made my heart ache. Unfortunately, I could only think about the worse as if she would have been fine, then we would have had definitely heard about her till now, I was about to search for her secretly too, but I was afraid if Adams got to know about that, it would bring consequences for my family, which would be fatal.
I was walking down the stairs when my phone rang. It was Adams.
“What do you want?” I asked him harshly.
“Spencer, I want you to teach your son how to treat my daughter. She has been complaining a lot recently, and I got a headache listening to her.”
“Well, isn’t it enough that he is forced to be next to her, even if he hates her?”
“I don’t even want to hear that. He should be thrilled to have a woman like Amber. Do you know how many guys were after her?” Yeah… I thought, too
many…
“Look, I try to talk to him again, but do not blame him.”
