I laid there, enjoying the sun, and holding her hand, I tried to calm myself. Since she appeared in that bikini only, I felt the need to make her mine, but I told myself I had to be satisfied by the outcome of the situation. After what I did to her, she stayed next to me. What

more, she agreed to be with me, which I didn't deserve at all.

The changes I went through in these few days were incredible. I never thought a young and beautiful woman with her natural body and looks would make me feel like that. I never thought a woman could be more important to me than myself.

I knew I told her in the end I would let her go. If that will be what she wants, then I will do, but till then I will do everything to make her fall in love with me, to stay with me, being my actual wife, being a Sullivan. I thought.

After we were out for a while, we both agreed, if we didn't want to be grilled, we should go inside.

"Are you hungry?"

She shook her head with a smile.

"I must train. Then I'm guessing we have to leave to meet Ava."

We both got ready and went to the basement in the gym. As soon as we stepped in, my gaze landed on the broken door.

"I'm sorry." She lowered her head, looked embarrassed. That made me smile.

"Don't apologise, actually I should say thank you."

She looked surprised, then confused.

"You pointed out I could hide it better and a harder material would do as well."

"Well, solid walls and doors are breakable, too."

Her answer made me laugh.

"Yeah, I don't think there is anything that could stop you if you w

want to get out of here."

1 embraced her from behind while she smiled, still embarrassed.

"But next time, I would appreciate that if you could use the main door if you want to get out of the house."

She smiled at me while she turned around, facing me, and I kissed her lips lightly.

For a moment, 1 remembered how much I hated kissing. With Alice, that was different, too,

"Let's train." She said while she broke free from my embrace. I let her go, and we boot started.

My attention often moved on to her. Her physical strength was incredible, but what amazed me more was her flexibility. Even if she looked like a work of art, I was still a man who watched his gorgeous woman. I couldn't push the thought of what I could do to her in bed away at each movement she made.

Finally, when I told myself to behave, and I could think of something else, I thought about Avn. After learning about the commitment and hard work required for figure skating, I was unsure if my niece had the determination to be like Alice.

The feeling of my phone's vibration in my pocket stopped me from thinking. I took it to check who was calling me, and it did not surprise me to see Gemma's name on the screen. She called me many times today. Even if I felt a little guilt because she predicted what would happen if I get married to defend her, I knew I couldn't pull it for too long

Alice gave me a chance, and that meant everything to me. My family could protect Gemma, but I needed to clarify that our non-existent relationship

was one!,

Chapter 45 A man in love

I just put my phone back into my pocket when Alice came to me.

*Have y

you finished?

"Yes, have you?"

She nodded.

I checked the time.

"I think it's time to meet Ava soon

She nodded. I stood up, then I held her hand. We both walked back to our rooms to have a shower and get ready. I finished first, of course, so I walked down into the living room, and I awaited her there. She appeared soon.

I led her to my car, but this time I opened the door for her, which made her smile, but her expression showed what she was thinking. She was thinking of the past, when I was mean to her, when she was in fear each time I drove her somewhere. It reminded me of how horrible person I was, and it also

me promise I would make sure she would never need to scare by my side. made

When I drove out of my land, I saw our people around us. Unfortunately, from now on, we needed protection. I also planned to take Alice to my parents house that evening, because I wanted to have a word with my father. I knew he wouldn't be happy, but I also knew he would understand, and help me.

We arrived quickly, and that was the first time Aa could go to Alice. She ran to her happily. Alice squatted down and hugged her. From then on, they ignored us. Ava's got all the attention of Alice, and she looked happy to teach and guide her in the centre and on the ice. She explained Ava every single detail patiently, and the little one looked at her like an idol,

We just sat down with Seth and watched them.

"She looks okay after all that happened to her yesterday." Seth told me without looking at me.

"She has

me now, but believe me, w

when I say she is an incredibly strong young woman." I said with a satisfied smile, but he looked at me suddenly.

"What? What do you mean she has you now?

I grinned only as an answer and he understood me. He shook his head in disbelief.

"Maybe she is an incredibly strong woman, but she is also incredibly stupid, too. Gideon, you don't deserve her."

His comment made me become serious instantly. Probably he noticed that.

"Gideon,

you know I was joking, but that is really unbelievable she can be with you."

"I explained everything to her. She knows everything, why I needed her, why my family forced her to marry me. And you are right. I don't deserve her at all, but believe me when I say I'll do everything to make her happy." "She needs protection. He said seriously.

"Yes. That is why I'm going ser dad today.*

""He'll help you."

"I hope so." I sighed. We remained quiet for a while watching Alice and Ava, but later one question appeared on my mind which I wanted to ask him since I got to know about it.

"Seth, what about that orasion that you didn't tell me? When Alice left at first."
