Chapter 140 Three days only âShe will be around for sure, but Alice, I would never touch her. I love you.â
I held her closer.
âI have a lock on my bedroom door and I keep it locked all the time. She canât enter my room.â
She lowered her head again.
âI love you, Gideon.â
I kissed her forehead.
âI love you too. Only three days.â
She looked at me, frowned, d, but then it seemed like she understood something, and she nodded.
you come with me out?â I asked.
After I said bye to Alexandra and Matteo, we walked out. We stood next to my car for a long time, kissing, hugging. I think none of us wanted to let the other one go.
I felt heavy to leave h her, but I had to. I turned on the engine and I drove back home. Because I got to know the weight of the situation, I didnât want to anger them more. I parked my car near my house, and I walked to the secret door. I went back, and I ended up in the gym. From the window, I could see my fatherâs car was there as well.
Probably Amber called him to help her call me out. I took my top off, then I took a bottle of water and I poured it on my upper body and on my hair as well. After finding a towel, I put it on my shoulders and I walked out. I found them in the living room. My dad looked furious. When I appeared, both of them looked at me in surprise.
âGideon, where have you been?â
âI trained.â
âI was in the gym earlier. Donât say that you were there.â My dad said angrily.
âI also went out to run.â
Amber looked at my father, then she nodded. My father walked to me, then with a last furious look, he left.
âAre you happy?â I asked Amber, but she looked at me like she could kill me.
âMake that lock vanish from your bedroom door.â
âGideon, do you want me to tell your father how you treat me?â No, I really didnât want her to tell anything to my father anymore.
Even if I hated her, 1 needed to bear her for another three days. âOkay. Do you know what? We can spend time together in the cinema room, and then both of us go into a separate room to sleep,â
She was thinking for a few seconds, then she nodded.
âokayâ
I was about to leave when I heard her annoying voice.
âAt least for now. But Gideon, you must get used to me.â
I left without turning hack. I wanted to talk to Riccardo, asking him to let me avenge everything that she did to me before they would finish her.
Chapter 140 Tive days only I went for a shower, and I went to the kitchen to make dinner. I was nearly ready when I heard her voice again.
âWhat are you doing?â
I didnât even turn back to look at her âCooking.â
She walked closer.
âWhat is this?â
âGrilled meat and vegetables. Healthy.â
âWhere did you leam it?â
âMy ex wife taught me. She lives a very active and healthy lifestyle.â
She exhaled loudly, like she tried to calm herself down.
âYou should have a chef.â
I hughed.
âNo, I would need a normal woman who can cook.â
She laughed this time.
âWell, I canât cook, and Iâm not even interested in cooking. So you will have to âWho the hell said Iâll be with you?â
She smiled.
have to employ a chet.âI looked at her.
*You are with me already. Your parents, your family, want us to be together, and I donât think you should disappoint your father.
You just have to forget your exâwife, which I can help you with.â
I laughed this time.
âHow could you be so confident?â
âWell, you saw my body already. I have a lot of work and money in it. Nine men from ten would sell their soul to fuck me. You would do that too. I know you want me. You are just offended, because you donât want to admit that your parents and I know better what you need.âI laughed out loud.
âYou are so wrongâ
âI heard about her.â
I looked at her suddenly.
protect her. And now she is dead, or worse, she âYour father bought her for you, to defend another. Then you fell in love with her, and you failed to p might have ended up as a prostitute or a sex slave.â
I couldnât answer that. I didnât want to.
âStop telling yourself she is alive, accept the fact you lost her and get over it. I can help you forget her, but for that, work with me.â
She caressed my shoulder, and I watched her hand. That gave me an idea of how to keep keep her away fr away from me, so I looked at her.
âAmber, itâs so damn hard. I loved her madly. And I lost her. Just understand that I need time.â
She sighed.
Chapter 140 Three days only âI understand, Gideon, but stop acting like you hate me. Just work with me, okay?â
âFine, I wonât sleep with you soon.â
âI can wait. Okay?
I nodded.
âCan I have dinner with you?âFuck off, I thought, but I nodded.
âThank you. Just tell me when you are ready.â She caressed my face, and she left. I sighed. Even if I had to take her for another three days, this way she wouldnât force me to do things I didnât want, neither to have sex with her.
When I was ready, I told her to come. We sat down and she started to talk to me about Ava. She told me how much she likes her, and that she canât wait to see her at the gala.
âSpencer told me she would perform alone and in a group a group as well.â
âI donât know.â
âHow come?â She looke She looked at me in surprise. âShe is your niece.â
es, but Iâm not her father.â
âYes, âMaybe she will be an olympian.â
I laughed.
âI donât know, that takes an incredible hard work to get there.â
She laughed this time.
âOh. If she gets used to that, that shouldnât be that hard.â
I frowned. âDo you know what it takes to be a figure skater?â
âIâm having a guess, but donât pretend that you are so clear about that sport. Iâm guessing you have never been on the ice, maybe not even close to it.â
âThink what you want.â I said I finished eating, because I lost my appetite. She annoyed me. I stood up, and I took my plate to the kitchen. She followed me shortly.
âAre we watching a movie?â
I looked at her, then I nodded.
âI just tidy up first. Iâll be there shortly.â
âOkay.â
Then she left me alone. She didnât even ask me if she could help me, but actually 1 felt happier staying alone. The only thing that hurt was I used to lie in my cinema room with Alice. To think of that, knowing I was going to lie there with someone else, made me miss her more..
I took my phone.
miss you.â
And I sent it. Then I walked up. Amber laid on the sofa comfortably. I sat next to her. She chose a movie and didnât ever ask me what I wanted to watch. She just pressed the play button. My phone vibrated in a minute.
âI miss you too. What are you doing?â
âIâm watching a movie.â
Chapter 140 Three days only âIs she with you?â
âYes.â
My heart pounded faster when I got no answer. I was thinking. How could I make it easier for us?
âAlice, what time are you going to sleep?â
âEightish.â
âWill you be in your flat?â
âYes, why?â
âI will talk to you later. I love you.â
âI love you too.â
âWho are you talking to?â Amber looked at me with a frown
