An Ice Queen for sale (Alice) novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Inability 

The boy nodded in lear 

“They spoke another language.” 

I patted his back, and I gave him a hundred dollars. He looked at that, and he watched the money, surprised. 

“I think they were talian.” He added, then he put the money into his pocket and ran away. 

“What he told you, dad?” Seth asked. 

I looked at him. 

“Riccardo.” I sighed. “Probably Riccardo got her.” 

“What was that?” Gideon got closer. Seth lowered his head. I patted his back. 

“Calm down, Gideon 

“What do you mean?” He asked, looking at me suddenly. 

I sighed. I didn’t want to tell him, but he had to know the truth and the weight of the situation. 

“Probably, Riccardo got her.” 

I could see his gaze darkened, and I knew instantly what his next step would be. Even if I couldn’t take if one of my children would be harmed, I thought about Elaine. We had many hard times, and I would have been the same if she would have been in danger. 

He walked to his car. We followed him. Seth took him out of the driver’s seat. They nearly fought, but finally we were on our way to Riccardo’s house. When we arrived, he got out of the car. Riccardo’s guys at the gate pointed their guns at him. He didn’t care. He screamed his name while he shook the barriers, wanting him to come out and give Alice back to him. 

Finally, we could see a familiar figure come out, and he lifted his hands up to stop everyone around from shouting. 

“Carlo, where is he? Give her back to me now.” Gideon screamed as loud as he could. Carlo just looked at him seriously. 

“She is with Riccardo. Leave now and be happy for living you alive.” 

“Fuck that. I won’t leave without her.” Gideon shouted. 

“She is our family member. We love her, she belongs to us. Please get the incident investigated and give Alice back to us. We will pay for her, doesn’t matter the amount,” Seth said, but Carlo shook his head 

“You don’t need to worry 

ry about her anymore. We are taking care of her from now on. Leave now.” 

He turned around and walked away, which made Gideon mad again. He shouted while shaking the bench, and he held his gun, but we both held him 

back. 

“Maybe they didn’t harm her, Gideon. He said they are taking care of her.” 

I literally needed to pull Gideon back into the car. I wanted Gideon to be near us so we could watch him, making sure he wouldn’t do something stupid. 

1 recalled what Carlo said a hundred times in my mind. It gave me the feeling they didn’t want to kill her. Well, at least, I hoped that. I thought we could watch the market from now on. Maybe we could find her while they try to sell her, I thought. 

A few days passed, and Gideon slightly looked better, but he still wanted to go for Alice. Elaine took care of him, like we traveled back in time, and that was even harder for me, too. 

Gideon was Elaine’s favourite. She loved her children, but somehow she always paid a bit more attention to him. Therefore, I knew how hard it was for her too, and as a loving husband, I wished I could have made them smile again.

I shouted from my working room, as I heard knocking. Lily opened the door gently and walked in. She put a piece of paper on my table. I took it 09:40 

read it. 

“Mr Sullivan, a man, Mr. Adams, would like to talk to you. He said it’s very important. 

I looked at her, then I closed my eyes in disbelief. The man was someone who I knew years ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t just know him, but we had a business together. 

I was lacking experience back then. I was younger, and 1 just got our family to lead. When I finally got to know him, I could see clearer, but that was too late. I shouldn’t have done any business with him. 

To know that he wanted to talk to me made me feel terrible. I didn’t know what he wanted, but I knew he wanted nothing good for sure. 

“Let him come in, Lily.” 

She nodded and left. In a few seconds, she opened the door, and she motioned him to come in. When he stepped in, he looked straight into my eyes, and he smiled at me with a smile that also made me feel I could kill him. 

“An old friend of mine. Spencer, you look good.” 

“What do you want?” I asked him, clarifying that I wouldn’t be in the game. His smile remained on his face, and he moved to the sofa to sit down. 

“You could be nicer to me, Spencer.” 

“I don’t have time right now, so tell me what do you want.” 

“Oh, I know you are busy. Your daughter–in–law disappeared, didn’t it? Poor child, because she was a child, am I right?” he sighed like he was daydreaming of something satisfactory. “New Desh, only eighteen. And her own step dad sold her.” 

He laughed while shaking his head.
