He smiled and rolled his eyes in disbelief.
*Because it doesn’t matter how much you try to hide it, you are still in love with that… Sullivan boy.”
My eyes widened.
“Come on Alice, since you arrived we are watching you with Alexandra. We
fe both know that if you
at if you fall in love with someone, it’s hard to get over it, but
If that person doesn’t deserve you, then you have to move on.”
I lowered my head.
“Alice, I will not hurt you by telling you stories, and even if you can guess how much I don’t want our family to be mixed with the Sullivans, I just want you to be happy. Believe me, even if I couldn’t be next to you since you were born, I love you. And I want you to be happy.”
I crossed my arms, then I nodded in embarrassment. It felt good to have someone who cared about me and my feelings, but I still didn’t feel comfortable discussing my love life with him, even though he was my biological father.
He caressed my face, then he stood up,
Alice, if you want to talk to someone, and you feel like I could help, come to me.”
I nodded. He walked to the door, and before he’d stepped out of it, he turned around.
“And please, let me keep you safe.”
I nodded again. He gave me a little smile, then he left.
I exhaled. It wasn’t as hard as I thought. I understood him. He wanted me to be happy, but I knew I would need much more time to heal
I slowly got up, and I went out onto the balcony. I laid down on the sofa, and I just enjoyed the warm breeze.
Gideon
As soon as I arrived back home, I called Sam. Probably, he heard that in my voice how mad I was, because he appeared in two minutes.
“Sam, I need information about Alice.” I commanded. That made him frown.
“Gideon, are you on drugs again?” He asked me seriously, and that made me furious
“Fuck that, I’m clear.” I shouted.
“You are drunk.” He stated.
“No, I had a few drinks, but I’m fine. Please do what I said.” I shouted.
Sam just stood there, lowered his head, and sighed.
“I call your father.”
I got next to him and I grabbed his arm.
“Are you crazy? He won’t help, he gave
He sighed again.
ave up on her.”
“Gideon, I’m more than sure Alice doesn’t exist anymore.” My eyes widened while I got to undersand what he was thinking.
“Fuck off. Just get the fuck out of here,”
I screamed at him, pointing at the door. He shook his head again, and he walked out of the living room.

“And don’t dare to call my father.” I shouted after him. I sat down on the sofa, and I held my head. No one wanted to help me. They thought I had grine mad. There was only one person who always helped me, but I offended him badly last time.
Isighed. I had to try.
I took my phone, then I dialled his number.
“What?” His voice was sleepy.
“Seth? I’m sorry to wake you up. I need help, and no one wants to help me.”
He chuckled.
“I’m not wondering why. But bro, when you say no one, include me, please.”
“Seth..
“Sober up.” And he hung up.
My eyes widened. I stared at my phone for a little while. He never acted like that before. Lonly hoped he was joking, or he just wanted to make me feel completely alone, then he would call me back. I waited a bit, but my phone was quiet. It hurt, but I understood.
I stood up, then I grabbed my keys. I went to m thought.

After turning on the engine, I drove near to the D’angeli house. I found a spot which was clear of Riccardo’s people. The least I wanted was them noticing me. It was difficult to identify who was in the cars because everyone in the family had the same type. However, when one car left around five o’clock, I figured it must be Alice.
I followed the car from afar. A few people moved around it. I needed to be really careful not to be noticed. When I recognised the way, my heart pounded faster. I got her. That was her for sure. That was the way of the sports centre.
I continued watching her from afar. She got out of the car and went in. She spent two hours there, then she left for the gym. Three hours later, she appeared. I recognised the guy who was with her. It was Gareth, one leader of the coach that we wanted to hire.
After they said bye to each other, she sat in the car. She sat in there for a while each time before she went in somewhere, then finally she drove to t seashore. I was guessing she would have a walk. I didn’t dare to go closer, as Riccardo’s people were always around her.
