Chapter 93 Officially divorced

I exhaled slowly, and I tried to let my anger go

"okay"

"Do you need the pads?"

Her question was another kick in the ass, but again, I let it go. I didn't even remember when I had to wear pads for the last time.

"No."

I said, and I skated to the middle, waiting for her to come on the ice too, and get started.

0 About the middle of the training, I regretted I didn't ask for the pads. Just like it was expected, I fell many times, and after a few times, I hit my side and butt. Falling on them was even more painful. But I was stubborn enough not to ask her to stop and get the pails on. It was hard to walk when the training hours were over. When I finally sat in my car, I clenched the steering wheel, and I tried to calm myself down, avoiding crying. I took deep Bonu 05:01 breaths, and I kept telling myself I was strong enough to bear it.

I imagined standing on the podium waiting to receive the gold medal, and I imagined how happy I would stand there with the medal in my neck. But my imaginations went too far, just like usual. I continued daydreaming, and I saw what would happen next. When I left the podium, and I walked back to my coach, after hugging them, another person waited for me. He would wrap me in his arms, and he would kiss me. I would see his smile of proudness and love while he would congratulate me. "Stop it Alice." I told myself loudly. I took a

The training with Gareth was better. Only a little, though. I felt exhausted after the first hour, but again, I was stubborn enough not to beg to stop.

few deep breaths, and I turned on the engine. I had no mood at all to go to the gym, but I had to, of course.

Before I left the ke rink, Beth told me she had an important meeting the next day, so we had to ship our training, but she made me promise I'd practise

the Salchow more,

I was thinking about that till the training finished. I tried to be happy for tomorrow because I would only train by myself, and then I thought it would be easier to take Gareth's plan in the gym after

I felt like my

legs were refusing to take me to my car after I left the building. I sat there for a little while before I turned on the engine.

I nearly cried when I remembered what the plan was for today. It was Riccardo's and Alexandra's wedding anniversary. Alexandra said she would wait for me because she wanted to go to the beauty salon with me. When I entered the house, I found them in the living room.

"Alice, you look tired." Alexandra commented when she looked at me.

"Am I looking more tired than usual?"

"Yes, if you really want to know."

I smiled.

"I'll take a shower. I'll be ready in a half an hour, then we can leave."

"That is perfect. Thank you, Alice."

She smiled at me. I nodded. Actually, I really liked to spend time with her, and I tried to set up my mind. It will be a long day today.

1 sighed, and I walked to the stairs to get up into my room. While I passed the entrance hall, I saw parcels arriving today. I expected nothing, of course,

but while I had a look, I saw my name on one. I frowned, and I walked closer. My heart pounded faster as I saw the sender was a solicitor's office.

I took the envelope, and I walked to my be longer, as he refused to sign it.

I really wanted him not to sign it. I thought that would have meant I could see him again.

Chapter 93 Officially divorced

I took a few deep breaths, then I opened it. I pulled the documents out, and what I saw felt like a sharp object stabbed my heart. It was signed. The document said I was officially divorced. There wasn't any problem, argument, and no one held the case back. It went fast and simple. He divorced me..

I stood at the window for a little while. I tried to breathe steadily, not to cry. I told myself I can't attend their anniversary party with puffy, teary eyes.

I looked up at the ceiling, hoping that my tears would go back where they came from and finally I could stop them, but the pain that I felt sat on my chest like heavy stones. After a few minutes standing there, I walked to the bathroom, and I took a long, hot shower, trying to calm my nerves down..

What I really wanted was to go to bed and cry until I ran out of tears, but I couldn't ruin my father and his wife's happy time. I thought I would have enough time to cry after. Until then, I had to endure the pain.

1 quickly got done, and I walked down to Alexandra. Probably she noticed I wasn't in a good mood, but I thought she thought that was just because of my training.

"Matteo, come here." I squatted down and opened my arm to let my little brother walk into it. I lifted him up, and I held him tight. That felt better. Somehow, this little fella always made me calm. I kissed his smiley face, and I looked at Alexandra. "Can we go?"

Bonus

She nodded. We walked to her car. I put Matteo into the baby seat, and we drove away soon. We sang a few songs on the way, which made Matteo laugh out loud, probably because none of us was a singer, so we were totally out of tune. But at least Matteo was happy about it.

The salon was in a friendly area. From the first look, I could see it was really expensive. Sometimes I wondered why Alexandra married Riccardo. She was much younger than him, and even if Riccardo didn't look like his actual age, and he kept himself fit, Alexandra was a beautiful woman next to him.

Sometimes I thought maybe the money motivated her, but then when I saw them together, they looked at each other with love. I noticed they liked to. get

lost in each other's gazes, especially when they were with Matteo. I couldn't deny how much I envied them these times. Gideon used to look at me like that, but probably that was out of desire, and not love.

I believed he was interested in me. He always got whores around, so I could imagine he wanted to try sex with a virgin.
