She laughed again and sat down next to me.

"I hear that you finally divorced Gideon. What a pity, isn't it? Does it hurt?"

"I don't know what you are talking about, and now leave me alone before I make your plastic surgeon's work damaged, I guess it wasn't cheap at all." "Oh, Alice, you won't touch me, and actually, I didn't come to argue Something about Gideon."

with

you. I only wanted to hurt your precious feelings. Just wanted to tell you

Mentioning his name was painful enough, but I was sure I couldn't take to hear how many women he had since I disappeared from his life.

*Leave me alone. How many times do I have to tell you?" I told her with anger, but she didn't seem to care.

"You know, not long after you disappeared, only a few days after, be called me to meet him." She laughed.

I tried to hide that I nearly gasped for air.

"Probably be missed sex. He is like that, you know? A woman only worth him that much as much as she can give him in bed. I heard they're having a business meeting in his club right now, and his business partner, Amber, has a reputation. I think things might get intimate with them tonight. And no, he won't think of you while he is going to pound her from behind, because you meant nothing to him. You were only a young virgin hole, which he probably never had before."

She whispered into my ear, and I felt like I wouldn't be able to bear it. I was about to slap her when a deep male voice made me stop.

"Gemma, what the hell are you doing here? I told you, you can only come with me if you keep your distance from Alice."

Carlo held her arm roughly, palling her up.

"I'm sorry, Alice. I promise it won't happen again." He told me apologetically. I nodded.

"Carlo, just please keep her away from me."

He nodded, then he pulled her away with him. Later I could see Gemma apologised to him, and it wasn't hard to imagine what was the price of his forgiveness, as Carlo pulled her into a hidden small room

I felt like crying, but this time I couldn't hold my tears back. After running to the bathroom, I thanked God I found no one in there. I went into a cubicle, and 1 leaned against the wall. Clenching my fist, I closed my eyes, and I took a deep breath, forcing myself to hold myself back from crying. I thought about Riccardo and Alexandra. I couldn't ruin this event.

If they would notice that I felt crap, then they would try to make me calm instead of enjoying their celebration.

I needed a few minutes while I calmed down. I kept telling myself I would have plenty of time to cry after the evening had finished,

I thought about that a little and I thought I would wait after dinner, and as soon as the party would start, I would leave. will tell them I am tired. They will believe me, because they know how hard I am training every day. With these thoughts, I left the cubical, and I checked myself in the mirror. The tiredness was indeed visible on my face, but few people, maybe no one, knew that tiredness that I felt wasn't in my body, it was in my soul.

I strolled back into the room, then I asked for a soft drink again. I really wanted to get some alcohol, but I still needed to train tomorrow. Second, I was afraid of what I would do and say if I would be drunk

Finally, dinner came, and after the dessert, we all congratulated Riccardo and Alexandra for their anniversary. They cut the cake together, then they had a little speech. It was even harder for me to take the evening, so I was thrilled when it finally ended for me. They started the party, so I walked to them.

"Alice, how was dinner? Alexandra aed

"It was delicious. I think I ate a bit more than I should."

They both laughed.

"Sometimes you have to eat proper food" Riccardo commented with a smile.

1 smiled back, and I nodded.

"Yes, that is true, but not until the Olympic games are over. And therefore I'm afraid I have to leave you now guys. I'll have a long day tomorrow."

"Alice, there are many people who would enjoy your company. Why don't you stay at least for a little while?" Riccardo asked me with surprise. "I'm sorry, Riccardo, but I think I'm tired. And I

ly gotta do my training in the morning."

I saw the disappointment on his face, and I felt awful because of that, but I couldn't stay any longer.

"We can understand. Now that we have a knowledge of how the Olympians live, we can't be disappointed if she wants to have some rest."

Alexandra caressed Riccardo's arm, who smiled while moving his gaze to the ground.

"Okay, go. And we'll see you tomorrow. Have a good night."

He pulled me closer and gave me a kiss o on my forehead.

I nodded, and I gave a kiss on Alexandra's face.

"Congratulations to you both."

They smiled and nodded. Finally, I turned around, then I walked out of the building.

The same guy waited for me in a car, and he opened the door for me to get in. He took me home, and I exhaled finally when I closed the door behind me. I leaned against it. I tried to think of all my pain, and I hoped my tears would fall, but I waited for them to come in vain.

For a reason, I couldn't cry. I walked to my bed, then I sat on it. My brain couldn't stop. I knew that I've got too much to take today. There was only one thing that couldn't leave me at peace. That was what Gemma told me. I couldn't believe that I really meant nothing to him. He called her nearly straight after my disappearance to satisfy him, because he missed sex.

And what she said about now? She said I would have found him with a woman right now, who he was about to take home. I lowered my head. Then I was just about to cry when I had another thought.

Since when have 1 believed in Gemma? She treated me like shit, and she was always jealous of me. She lied to Gideon as well, and she betrayed the Sullivans by getting together with Carlo.

I held my head in disbelief. Actually, what I could lose if I would go to see that myself? Even if he didn't come for me, and he divorced me easily, I could give myself a chance to see him for the last time. And maybe Gemma just lied, and if I would go to the club, I wouldn't replace him there.

I closed my ou my eyes,

I thought that would be easy to escape now, as all the attention was on Matteo and on the celebrated couple. No one was around when I arrived back home, so why not? I thought. Riccardo said that Charles left L.A. so what could happen? Who would mess up with the Italians?

I stood up and grabbed my keys. I opened my door gently, and I stepped out. The corridor was empty, so I walked through it, then down the stairs, and soon I found myself at the door, which took me to the garage. I walked to my car, and I sat in it. I drove out, but when I reached the gate, a man in a suit stepped into the car.

"Signora D'angeli." He greeted me.

"I'll be out for a little while. I'll be back soon."
