Chapter 40 Despair 

“Why? I told you I would take you home. Don’t you live here?” 

“I thought you would take me to yours.” 

I shook my head. 

“Gemma, I told you. I need to take care of some business, and I will probably be out all night.” 

She looked at me, frowning. 

“Is it about another woman?” 

1 laughed. Actually, she was right, but she had nothing to do with that, as I always told her I didn’t want a relationship. But this time I didn’t argue with her, as I needed her. 

“Gemma, don’t think too much.” 

“Then why can’t I stay in your house?” 

1 took a deep breath. 

“Gemma, do you remember what I told you when we started this all?” 

I could see she swallowed, and she lowered her head. 

“I know Gideon, but we are together happily. I understand you, and you know me well. We are good together.” 

“Most of the time, yes, but you didn’t let me breathe lately. I need a break.” 

Her face changed to an angry one. 

“I’m sorry, but do I remember correctly you got married to another woman lately?” 

“Do I remember correctly I told you the reason?” 

“You can’t be serious.” 

“I am. I’ll contact you soon, but if you want to continue with me, then give me a break.” 

“But…” 

Her eyes became teary, and when the first tear rolled down on her cheek, I felt the usual anger.

“Gemma, I’ll be late. “She shook her head and left the car. She stayed next to it and looked at me while she wiped her tears. I shook my head this time, and I just drove away. 

When I finally was alone, I took a deep breath, and I tried to calm myself down. I was on the way home. To Alice.. 

I just started to think about how I could propitiate her when my phone was ringing. I pulled down on the side of the road, and my heart nearly jumped out of my chest, when I saw “Sam” on the screen. 

“Gideon, I apologise to you.” 

He stopped. I felt like someone was suffocating me. 

“What happened, Sam? Tell me.” 

“Alice, she disappeared. She escaped through the basement door. I’m so sorry.”

“Call everyone, Sam. We must find her before Riccardo does.” 

I knew I wouldn’t be enough to do this alone, so this time I didn’t care who thinks what. After I hung up on S In two seconds. 

on Sam, I called Seth. He picked the phone up 

Gid? 

“What’s up, 

“Seth, Alice has disappeared.” 

I couldn’t hide the panic from my voice, but after a sigh, he answered. 

“Actually, this is what you wanted. Let’s hope Riccardo will be satisfied, and we can just live our lives at ease from now 

“No. I need her. I want her back. Help me find her.” 

I shouted at the phone in panic. He remained quiet for a few seconds before he answered. 

“Meet me in the town at the usual place. I’ll be there in five minutes. I’ll call the guys.”

“Thank you.” I told him with a bit of relief. After I turned the engine on and I drove to the meeting place. I was only a few minutes from there, but I didn’t care about any speed limits. 

I arrived there at the same time as Seth. He’s got into my car. 

“Where should we go first?” I asked him. He looked at me and frowned. 

“Seth.” I shouted at him impatiently. 

“Okay, Gid, first, calm down.” 

I took a deep breath and 1 let the steering wheel go 

“Okay, Last time she went to the bus station, I don’t think she’d go there again.” 

I looked at him with a sudden move. 

“Last time? What? What the hell are you talking about?” I asked him

“Gideon, it’s not the first time she is trying to escape. Try the t 

train station first.” 

I tumed the engine on, and took the way to the train station, but I couldn’t let it go.. 

“Seth, what the hell did you talk about?” 

“Last time I caught her at the bus station. I took her back. I didn’t tell you about that because I was worried you were going to hurt her. 

I looked at him for a second. 

“Why do you think I would hurt her? I would never hurt a woman physically.” 

“Really? Then what the hell did Gemma talk about today?” 

I made a face and shook my head. 

“Seth, I didn’t touch Alice. I only told Gemma that I did, because this was that she wanted to hear.” 

He stared at me for a few seconds, like he wanted to read my face. 

“Gideon, would you explain to me what the fuk are you doing?” 

After taking a deep breath, I looked up and sighed. I thought there was no point in hiding anything fin
