An Ice Queen for sale (Alice)

Chapter 25 Lucky me?

I waited a few minutes just to make sure no one was around, and 1 lifted her up into my arms. I left the station quickly. A few elder people's attention was on us, but I tried to ignore them. I only hoped no one was going to call the ambulance or the police. It wasn't really a problem, because we had our connections, but I didn't want to waste my time on explanations.

1 took her into my car, and I drove back to Gideon's with her. After taking her into the house, I put her into her bed. I watched her for a little while. I felt so sorry for her.

She was brave enough to make this step, and probably she would be frightened much more when she finally realises she hadn't succeeded

Probably Gideon was mistreating her. Alice couldn't contact anyone who was close to her, and she couldn't move freely. She didn't dare to speak, and no one spoke to her. She didn't deserve to live like this

When I made sure she was breathing and she'd be okay, I left the house. I couldn't say anything to Gideon about it. He would punish her for sure. I was going to come back tomorrow to speak to Alice. I wanted to let her know I was the one who found her, and this was the one and last time she could do this without consequences.

A bit later, the guys texted me. They were all safe. I wasn't in the mood to go to the club, so I decided I would go back home to Leah.

When I opened my eyes, I felt dizzy, but my vision went clear in a few seconds. I just remembered what happened. I was at the bus station, ready to leave. My heart beat faster, and 1 needed to force myself to look around, feeling terrified what I would see, but I frowned when I realised I was in my room. And I was alone. I sat up to see if there was really no one.

How could it happen? Who saw me? 1 didn't dare to go

put.

Maybe Gideon came back, I thought I was going to receive punishment. But what kind of punishment would that be? While I recalled Lilly and that what had happened to her, I started trembling.

They are cruel, really they are cruel. What if they would do the same to me?

I was about to cry when I heard some noise. I frowned again. Something broke. I left my bed, and I leaned on my door. The noise was like someone kept trying not to Cal

And then I heard laughing. The voices were familiar. It was Gemma and Gideon. They were drunk, for sure.

For an unknown reason, I felt pain. I thought they broke up. And unfortunately, not that I was afraid of what Gemma would do to me, but I also felt an unfamiliar sadness thinking of Gideon would treat me like he did before. "Stop it, Alice." I closed my eyes, then I shook my head and put my palms on my ears, hear everything.

They had sex, and they were loud. This time I could hear Gideon enjoying it as well. I slipped down on the carpet and leaned my back against the door. Tears fell from my eyes uncontrollably.

I could hear them for a long time. I think more than an hour passed, when finally they went quiet. After I calmed down. I went to my bed, and after turning around a hundred times, I could finally fall back asleep.

When I opened my eyes, it was already sunny. It was nine o'clock. I never slept that long, but I wasn't in the mood to get up. I just pulled the quilt on me, and I turned on my other side.

I just wanted to sleep and never wake up. I stayed like that for a long time. When I heard knocking on my door, my heart beat faster out of fear. I didn't want to open it. I wasn't ready to face my punishment. What could I do? I could try to fight, but they were stronger than

me.

When I saw the door to open, I gasped for air. I expected Gemma or Gideon to come, but I saw Seth coming into my rooms, which surprised me. He frowned when he looked at me. He walked to my bed.

"Alice, listen to me. I only tell you ones, next time I won't be that kind. Okay?"

I nodded. I felt hopeful. Maybe my punishment will be verbal only.

"What you have done yesterday, is unacceptable. My family does everything to keep you well. They bought you. Gideon owns you. I thought you got a Chapter 25 Lucky me?

list of rules before you came here."

I nodded.

"Alice, this is the one and last occasion I remind you nicely of the rules. Don't do this again. Understand?"Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I nodded.

"I will not tell Gideon and the family, but just to let you know, we watch every single step of you. Keep that in mind."

I nodded.

He turned his back to me, then he walked toward the door, but he turned back with a sudden move, and frowned.

"What the hell happened in the house?"

"They came home late." I told him in a hoarse tone.

""Who?"

"Gideon and Gemma,"

He looked up at the ceiling for a moment, then left the room while shaking his head. I felt shocked. Seth has never been nice t do this to me now?

In about an hour, I calmed down. I got back to myself a little. I knew that usually what helped me to calm my nerves completely. Training. I guessed that there was no one to take me to the ice rink, but Gideon had a gym in the house.

up.

I forced myself to get up, and I put on training clothes. I was sure they wouldn't wake up for a while, so I thought I was going to have time to train and eat something after. Facing them was the least that I wanted, so I hoped I could just hide in my room by the time they got After walking down, I found the gym easily. I put my earphones in, and I started. I trained for about three hours, practising the quads that I should have built in my free program.

I felt much better when I finished. I was sweating, so I put a towel around my neck, then I walked to the kitchen to get some water. Wish I wouldn't do that. Gemma stood there with a glass of water in her hand, completely naked. Her hair was messy and her hangover was apparent. She could kill me with her eyes. I lowered my head, and I was about to leave the kitchen when I heard her to laugh at first.

"Don't rush that much, bitch. She commanded
