An Ice Queen for sale (Alice)
Chapter 143

Chapter 143 Good day, bad day

I skated towards Ava. I saw Seth and Leah run there as well, but I was quicker on the ice.

"Wa?"

She looked away, apparently hurt.

"Ava, look at me.

Obviously, she was hesitating. The little girl didn't know if she should have hid her excitement to see me, or after a few seconds she looked up at me suddenly. me, or she should have played the offended, but

"Why didn't you contact me?" She asked me sadly while she crossed her arms. She looked funny a little, but I didn't want to offend her more by smiling at her acting.

"Ava, I'm sorry, but I couldn't. It's an adult thing, you know? It would take ages to explain. But I'm so thrilled to see you."

I looked over the dasher board to see Seth and Leah watching us. They clearly didn't like that I was talking to Ava

I squatted down and held Ava's hand.

01 am

"The gala is so close and I will perform too. I also got to help someone out, therefore I had to stay longer today. Right now I feel exhausted, so heading home, but tomorrow I can stay with you a little. You could show me your improvements. How about that?" I expected her to refuse my offer, or argue or asking me further, but instead of that her expression changed to a hopeless one.

"I can't land the single Lutz correctly." She cried.

I smiled at her while she looked at me hopefully.

*T'll help you tomorrow. Okay?"

She nodded while I caressed her upper arms.

"Alice, who is that guy?" she asked me suddenly, like she just remembered.

"He is my friend from Montreal. He is an ice dancer, and he's going to perform at the gala. Then he'll

She nodded, like she understood. I caressed her face, then I stood up.

"Go Ava, your muscles won't be grateful if you don't move."

'll go back to Canada."

"See you tomorrow, Ava." And she skated away. My smile disappeared when I met Seth's ga they reached me.

gaze. I skated off the ice, and I just put my covers on when

She nodded sadly.

"See you tomorrow, Alice."

"Why did you do that, Alice? Seth asked me angrily.

I looked at him seriously.

"I like her, and she was hurt, because I didn't contact her. This is a situation that she has nothing to do with. I want to leave her out of it."

"Alice, you are on the other side. You can't be part of our family or a friend. Understand?" Seth talked to me seriously, which didn't influence me at all. However, Leah looked at him and frowned. Probably he didn't tell her about me. "I have nothing to do with the conflict between the two families." I stated.

"Alice, I have to ask you to leave Ava a

and my brother alone."

I looked at him, and I think my facial expression showed him how I felt. I loved to show him my real sell

"It won't be your decision, Seth. You can control Ava if you want her to be broken, but you can't control your brother."

"Alice." He sighed. "I heard you came back into his life again, but we need Gideon. He must focus on our family. Why can't you understand you are messing up everything, for ending up without him?"

I only smiled. I felt I hadn't owed an explanation to him.

-

"A D'angelli has nothing to do with a Sullivan, Mind that, and let him go. He commanded, but he couldn't scare me anymore.

"I know you want me to kick him out so you can force him to fuck that whore and make her a Sullivan."

I shook my head with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Seth, but I won't let that happen." I turned my back to him, and I wanted to take my first step when I heard him again. "Alice, you better do what I said "

I turned back suddenly, but this time he really angered me.

"Why? What can you do to me?" I asked him angrily. "You don't command me. Not you and not your family. Never again."

He looked at me like he just remembered what family I belonged to

I was about to leave again when I heard his voice.

"Alice, I beg for you Leave him alone. We need him to solve our family's problem."

I only turned back again to look at him, then I left them.

I thought they reconciled, and I thought he was helping his brother. I felt so sorry for Gideon. That meeting just made me more certain I must stay by his side.

Lucas waited for me outside. He invited me for a late lunch. We had a really fun time together, just like before. But what really made me happy was like he could really look at me as a friend and nothing more. The time passed quickly, and it was six o'clock soon. He invited me to have dinner with him, but I knew that would take longer, and we needed to train tomorrow, so I kindly refused his invitation.

I took him back to the hotel. My old coach had also stayed in there. I would have loved to see the others, but as he said, I would see them the next day. so I just said bye to him, and I drove back to my flat. After a long shower, and I ate some fruits for dinner. I just finished when I felt my phone vibrating.

"How was your day? What are you doing?"

I frowned, because I didn't understand why asked me about my day. I hoped that didn't mean he couldn't come

"Okay. A few things happened, but I'll tell you when I see you. I just had some dinner. What are you doing?" "Are you in your flat?"

"Yes"

e la me

"Are you alone?"

His question made me frown again, but I immediately-understood what could happen.

"Yes, who would I be with???"

"Maybe with your bestie from Montreal?"

I sighed. I knew I was jealous too, but in our situation I was t

angry.

"Gideon, I think the fact that you can't even call me, because that whore is next to you, gives ME the right to be jealous and angry. So stop it."

"You were with him after training, aren't you?"

"Good night, Gideon."

I sighed. It hurt me he couldn't trust me. I hoped he would come today, and I wanted to tell him everything that happened to me. To share my happy day with him a little, and not to argue with him because I felt good to see my childhood friend.

1 fought my tears back, and even though it was early, I went to bed. I worried I would cry if I stay awake, and 1 didn't want them to question me tomorrow. After covering myself up, I tried my best to sleep, but I couldn't. I felt awful. I knew how stubborn Gideon was, and if I honestly worried, he would spend the night with her, taking his revenge for nothing.

I closed my eyes. The thought that he might be with her now made my eyes wet again. I got up and went to the kitchen to drink some water. It was nine o'clock. I held my head in disbelief when my doorbell made me jump. I ran to the door with excitement and I opened it to see Gideon's angry fac
