An Ice Queen for sale (Alice)

Chapter 176 A stressful home

He bent a few times, which normally would have made me laugh, but this time I was nervous as well. If that officer were killed, and they removed his hands, that meant that the laptop contained something that they did not want us to know, "What an idiot!" Lstated after he left.

"Riccardo, do you want me to...

"No, not yet." I answered Carlo's question before he could finish it.

"We need to have the device here first."

"Do you think that information is related to that woman?"

"Not necessarily, but it doesn't matter what it is. If they keep it hidden, then it will be useful for us."

I sighed.

"Carlo, please go after him, and make sure the device will be here soon."

"Understand." He

te stood up, and he left.

I went back to my desk, then I took my phone.

"Ricardo?"

He hung up. I put my phone down. I had twenty people around Gideon's and Alice's house all the time, so I was sure nothing could happen to the Alexandra and Matteo were also safe in the house, and since the Sullivans joined my family, I made sure about their safety as well.

I took a cigar, then I lit it. I slowly exhaled the smoke. My mind could not stop. In about a half an hour, Carlo came back with the laptop, but his clothes were bloody. I looked at him and frowned.

He put the laptop at my desk, and he took some tissue to wipe the blood off of it

"As soon as he came out of his house, they shot him. Two people of the Devilles."

1 looked at the laptop.

"Did you hide their corps?"

"Yes. They won't End them for sure."

"Good. I don't want to deal with the Devilles right now."

I took the device, and I opened it. It was on, and it had a time limit, which meant our police officer friend also tried to log into it. That made me smile.

"Carlo, get someone who can log in. I need a quick job!

"Yes Riccardo."

"Make sure the person has no intention of giv

of giving the information away."

Then he took the device, and he left my office. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. I just finished when I heard a knock on the door, soutod,

Myalam woke me up early this morning, It was time to get back to the ice. Usually, I enjoyed training, but after spending those days in Paris with Gideon, I was not fancy coming back. I watched his sleeping figure next to me. I knew I would not watch him like this for a while, as he had to go back to do his business with Seth. He helped his brother a lot, and that made their relationship better than ever, I knew that made him happy, and Seth looked more cheerful and carefree as well.

I knew it was hard for Galeon to make sure he spends time with everyone, so even if I wanted him only for myself, I never told him a word.

I left the bed slowly, avoiding waking him up, and after I finished in the bathroom, I tiptoed out of the room. I did my morning routine, then I left.

It seemed like Beth was proud of me, as she did not torture me to death that day. I was grateful for that. However, Gareth was different. As I kept going to the gym, he just expected me to do my usual training.

I drove back home happily, I thought I could go to see Matteo, but Alexandra said they were out somewhere, and Riccardo was busy with his business, so postponed the visa for the next day.

When it stepped into the house, I wanted only one thing, I went upstairs. As Gideon was sleeping in our bedroom, I chose a guest room and I filled the bath with lukewarm water, I undressed, and I got into the bath. The water felt so nice. I bent my head back, resting it on the side soft pillow on the side of the bath, and I closed my eyes. I felt completely relaxed, but my eyes opened suddenly when I heard banging on the door.

"Who is it?" I shouted.

"It's Nora, Alice. When do you want your lunch?"

I rolled my eyes in disbelief.

"I am bathing first."

I shouted, but waited in vain for the answer. I closed my eyes, then I shook my head. Her behaviour angered me, especially because I could not relax for little in my home. Somehow, she was everywhere all the time.

I sighed, and I got out of the bath. I took a towel, and as I was not in my room, I put the towel around my body, and I left the room. After rushing to our bedroom I opened the door quietly, and I could not believe what I saw. She stood in the middle of the room with a dress of mine in her hand, looking at me, surprised, while Gideon slept soundly on the bed.

Her face changed in a second and showed anger. She came to me and she literal

literally pushed me out of the room.

"What the hell are you doing there, Nora?" I asked her quietly, but with anger.

get you clothes. So you can be down quicker, your food gets cold, and it will lose its good texture if I heat it up again."

"But Gideon is sleeping in there. You should stay out of this room when we are here."

"Alice, I'm doing everything to delight you." Her facial expression changed to a pitiful one, and 1 did not know what to say. I took the dress from her hands, and I just realised she got underwear as well.

I swallowed. She had nothing to do in my wardrobe. Before I would have exploded, I turned around, and I went back to that room to dress up.

at the table. She put some soup in front of me first. It was okay, but the main dish looked and smelled homible,

"What kind of dish is this?"

"Chicken offal. Very, very healthy."
