Then after a little silence he sighed.

"Wish I could do all these to you since you were born."

I shrugged my shoulders.

He laughed painfully.

"I should have searched for you harder. Lowered his head,

Looking at him while he said that made me feel sorry for him. I stood up and I moved next to him, and I put my palm on his hand,

"Riccardo, I haven't known you for a long time, but what you did to me is much more than I ever got. And actually, I think, who is really to blame it Charles."

"Alice, I swear to you II replace him, and he'll have to pay for everything."

I smiled sadly. It wasn't what he said, it was who it reminded me again. Gideon promised me the same. Probably it wasn't important for him anymore, and probably they stopped searching for him by now. "Alice, what is in your head?" His deep voice made me st

me stop remembering. I looked at him, and I forced myself to smile.

"Nothing. I think it's just the had memories

He put his palm on my hand.

"Just give it a little time, go back to the ice, and I promise you it will be better soon. Time has a healing power, I guarantee that.

What he said made me feel that he was aware that I was missing Gideon really much, but I pushed this thought away. How would he have known about that?

In the main bedroom.

After Riccardo caressed Alice's face and said good night to her, he stood up, and left her in the garden. She said she wants to watch the sunset, and she also put Riccardo at ease by telling him she was happy to stay alone. Riccardo walked up to their bedroom. When he stepped in, Alexandra just finished showering. She sat in a bathrobe at her dressing table, brushing her hair.

"Did you talk to her?"

Ricardo sighed while he sat down on the bed. Alexandra turned to look at him.

"And?

"I think she doesn't want to open up for me."

Alexandra shook her head with a sad smile and stood up. She walked towards the bed, and sat down next to her husband. She folded her arms around his, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Love is a difficult thing, you know that. You should give her time."

"My daughter." Riccardo sighed. "How could she fall in love with a jerk like Gideon?"

"Like I said, Iter is difficult. Did she agree to continue skating?"

cardo nodded at Alexandra's question.

"That is good, if she has a task she might stop thinking about him."

"I really hope that, love. The least I want is to be mixed with the Sullivan

Alexandra laughed.

"In the end fate will make you and Spencer become friends, and it will make Gideon your son-in-law. That is too funny."

Riccardo turned his head to look at his laughing wife. He lifted one of his eyebrows up, showing her he didn't like the idea at all, but that just made Alexandra laugh harder. She climbed on his lap, and folded her arms around his neck.

He just then realised that under the bathrobe Alexandra was naked. His hand immediately started an adventure on her body under the robe.

Alexandra needed a minute to be able to stop laughing.

"Seriously, if she won't get better soon, I think you should give up on keeping them apart."

> "We'll see, but let's hope she'll be fine without him."

Alexandra leaned closer to kiss him, and before their kiss would have turned to the beginning of a passionate time, Riccardo pushed her

"I have to shower first, dear. Wait for me."

Alexandra climbed in the bed, laying on her back with the robe open, smiling at him with a bit of disappointment.

"Hurry up

The strong sunshine woke me up. I loved to wake up like that. After stretching my body, I sat up. I left the bed, and 1 freshen up myself. It was eight o'clock. Since I was here, I slept longer

I didn't need to rush anywhere. But today was different. Somehow to know I would see that coach made me excited. They were famous, and they had the top skaters in the US. After I finished in the bathroom, I went to my dressing room. Yes, my dressing room. I chose a yellow dress to wear.

My

room was vast. The dominant colour was yellow and brown with wooden parts. I had a balcony with a beautiful view of the back garden. It was quiet and nice. It made me feel like I was always out in nature. I opened the glass door to let some fresh air into the room, then I walked down to the dining

They were there already. Matteo waved at me with a broad smile, forgetting about her breakfast. Alexandra and Riccardo greeted me with a laugh,

"That's it. You won Matteo's heart." Alexandra commented. I smiled, and I went to the little one to kiss his cheek before I sat down as well "What time can they meet me?" I asked Riccardo, who looked at me. Ite wiped his mouth with his napkin.

"They said they can meet you at ten. They will be in the sports centre. You just have to go in and ask for them. Carlo will be around."

"Thank you."

After we finished breakfast, Alexandra needed to go into the town. She took Matteo with her. She apologised to me because she would go alone for the shopping tour. I didn't even ask for the reason. I knew that well. It was because of Charles.

"Can you come to my working room, Alice? Riccardo asked. I wondered what he wanted, but I just nodded and followed him.

When we arrived, he walked to his desk and pulled one of its drawers out. He took an envelope and slipped it towards me on the

"Two passports?"

I looked back at the passports with a frown, I opened both of them. They w

none of them was what I really wanted.

I smiled sadly. I put on the table the one that was for Alice Lessard, and I put the other one into my bag, the one with the name Alice D

When I looked at Riccardo, I could see it made him emotional a bit, but I also saw happiness and proudness on his face. I smiled at it. "I'm guessing Carlo is waiting for me already."

"He is waiting for you, and he'll stay around, but I'll let you go alone."

I raised my head and looked at him suddenly.
