Chapter 35 The pretending

“Calm down Gideon. We caught one of them.”

“Did he talk?”

“No. Unfortunately, he isn’t in that state.”

“Is he dead?”

I took a deep breath. I didn’t like that, as I could get some information out of him, but I knew if they killed him, that was probably because they had no

other choice.

I just sat in my living room, and I held my head. I just sat there for a little while, thinking of what to do. My plan came first, so I couldn’t comfort Alice yet, even though that was what I really wanted. I took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down, but when I heard some noise, I hold my gun immediately.

When I realised that the noise, footsteps approaching the living room came from high heels, I let my gun go. Even if I could scream in anger. The least that I wanted at that moment was to listen to Gemma, but it seemed like I couldn’t escape. In a few moments, she stood at the living room door, crossed her arms, and looked at me with anger.

“Where is she?”

I exhaled while I leaned back on the sofa.

“She is in her room.”

“What have you done to h

to her?

“I have done nothing yet, I have to think,”

She just stood there and watched me. I think she tried to read me, but it wasn’t the time yet to reveal my true feelings for her and for Alice.

She walked closer slowly.

“Is that so hard for you to harm her?”

I looked at her. I held myself back from shouting at

at her to leave.

“No, not at all, but I have to think about another solution.”

“Why?”

“Because if I harm her physically, that will be visible, and we don’t want that.”

I got all my strength to stand up and go to her. I pulled her close to me by holding her waist, and I slipped down my palms to hold her ass. Apparently, that movement put her at ease a little. She looked at me differently.

“But injuries can heal in a few days, and you can easily lock her up till then.”

I pretended I was thinking, but my thoughts weren’t on Alice, my thoughts were on my plan. I couldn’t let her think I couldn’t be cruel to Alice.

“Gemma, let me think,”

She didn’t say a word for a few moments. I was glad for that, because that gave me the opportunity to think about how I could get out of this situation to make her satisfied without harming Alice. But the quiet moments didn’t last long.

“Don’t forget that y

your family is still waiting for us.”

I looked at her suddenly, Knowing Alice’s state, I really didn’t want to leave her alone in the house, but I knew if I said no, she would NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Chapter 35. The pretending

“Let me see her first.”

“I’m going with you.”

“No, you stay here.”

“Gideon, she shamed me in front of your family. I want her to pay for that.”

“That is my role. You stay here.”

1 told her in a tone that she knew well. She knew that at this point she can’t argue with me. I could see she didn’t like that at all, but she had no choice but to accept it.

“I be back in a few minutes.”

She stayed motionless. Only her killer look told me what she was thinking, But I didn’t care. The only thing that I cared about was to make sure she never got close to Alice without my presence.

I walked up to her room slowly. I completely forgot about the lunch and I planned to stay home with her. Probably I was going to scare her more when she would see me enter her room, I thought.

I knocked on the door. There wasn’t an answer, as usual. The silence made me remember the conversation between her and Lilly. I remembered she said she was ready to

finish this herself if there was no other way out. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and I entered. My heart pounded faster when I found the room empty. I looked around and to see her out on the balcony, leaning on the rail, put me at ease a little. I walked there, and I stopped at the opened glass

door.

“You don’t plan to jump, don’t you?”

She turned around with a sudden move. The fear was written on her face. She breathed faster, and her teary eyes melted my heart, like never.

“Come in, Alice.”

She shook her head. I looked at the ground, not knowing what to do. To see her standing at the rail of the balcony having a firm grip on it made me scared. The balcony wasn’t high enough. If she had planned to jump, probably she would have had some injuries, maybe fractured bones, but that thought still didn’t put me at ease.

I quickly stepped to her. She didn’t even have time to turn around. I held her while she hysterically tried to get free from my embrace, while she shouted to let her

I led her into the room and I leaned against the wall, still keeping her tight. She bit my arm a few times. That was painful, but I endured it.

When she realised she wouldn’t get free, she finally calmed down. She was still gasping, but she accepted the fact that I was stronger than her.

She leaned her head on my chest. That felt so good. I wanted to continue holding her, but I had to leave to meet Gemma downstairs. So, I let her go after a few minutes.

“Better?”

She looked at the ground and nodded nervously.

I sat down on the sofa and I patted the place next to me. She hesitated for a few seconds, then she sat down.
