Cold Hearted Princess

Chapter 160 The offer "Do you remember when we sat here, just like this last time?" I needed to think, but finally I remembered.

"That was the night when you toldyou bought Alice for me, and I can do to her whatever I want." He nodded.

"Yes. And do you remember how you answered me?" "I was angry." I sighed...

"Yes. And do you know why?"I smiled.

"Because I was in love with her already.""Yes." He remained quiet for a few seconds. I did not know what he wanted to t to tell me, so I just awaited him.

"That was the night when I was finally sure you truly loved her. And I was happy about that, I will not lie to you, Gideon. I had no clue who she was, And you know I used my every power to find her. Not just because we got to like her, or because we treated her as our family member, but because you loved her, and seeing you like you were after her disappearance broke my heart. I never wanted to give up on finding her, but I got a visitor that time." He sighed.

"Adams" He remained quiet for a short tagain.

"I was always afraid of that day would come. Instead of being honest with my family, I was so proud and selfish. I wanted to keep my mistakes hidden. Neither you mum knew about it. As Alice disappeared, I really tried to put the good and the important together, and I hoped Amber will make you. forget Alice, and that will make you save our family as well. But I was so wrong." He sighed. "When I saw it will not work, I was angry. I knew I shouldn't be angry with you, and 1 knew I shouldn't force you to do this, but I couldn't see a way out. And that madego too far. I wanted to use my son, my blood." He lowered his head, and I saw something that I had never seen. I saw just then how hopeless and damaged he was.

did to you, and I hate "Gideon, I hate what I did to you, and I hate what I did to my family. But most of all, I hate you seelike this. I love you all, and I should have managed things better." I had no heart to hurt him more. I sighed.

"Dad, you did everything for us. I understand." "No Gideon, this is the main thing. I didn't do everything. You did." I frowned.

"What do you mean?" "You know that well. I served the Italians that tfor money. Secretly. I could go to Riccardo myself, and he would help me. Because even if we are against each other, he owedthat favour. But I let my pride won. I wanted our family to stay independent, like one family that rules." I swallowed. He was right, but fortunately, I had something in my mind. I always remembered this with a smile, and I wanted to make him understand something as well.

"Dad, do you remember when little wa helpedescape?" He nodded.

"I was invited for dinner by Alice. That was the first tI met Riccardo and Alexandra. Their son, Matteo, was there as well. I had a heavy conversation with Riccando, and for sure I wouldn't have taken that so easy if we didn't argue, but do you know what was on my mind during dinner?" Chapter 150 1 The offer He shook his head, obviously did not understand why I brought this up.

"I thought about my family. Who we were before. Believe that or not, but they were the same. A family enjoying each other's company, creating happy memories. Seeing that, I was thinking. We are so similar. Why we could not live next to each other without hatred? I love Alice, I want to be with her. Even if the two families are enemies, we would be so good together. So what I mean is, who cares if Riccardo has a bigger staff and territory? I mean, we all end up the sway." He remained quiet, obviously thinking. I sighed before I continued.

"I bought a new house." He looked atsuddenly, surprised.

"I bought it to have a new start with Alice, and do you know what? Riccardo wantsto spend on it, making it suitable for his daughter to live in. His concern is Alice's safety, like I would be a coward or something." "Didn't you tell him to fuck off?" He askedwhile he frowned. That madelaugh.

"No, and do you know why? Because I don't give a shit. I just want his daughter. If he wantsto change the entire house, I will do. I don't care what he thinks or what he says. I am tired of arguing with him, as I only want his daughter. Who cares if he wants to lead me? I don't fucking care who is the leader, unless we are happy." He smiled atsadly, and he lowered his head.

"Then I think you are more likethan Seth." I frowned.

"Why do you say that?" "Riccardo cto seethe other day. He made an offer to me." "What offert "What offer?" I asked him curiously,

"He askedto join them. He referred to you and Alice. That would Alies.

course." I was waiting for him to finish.

"We had a conversation about it with your mum, and she said the same. She is having enough of fighting. And after what what she went through that night when I told her to pack her necessary belongings as fast as she can, and I told her we all must leave the country, she also thinks that would be the right thing to do." I was honestly happy to hear that, but I realized he forgot to mention someone.

"And what about Seth?" I asked, "You know him too. He doesn't agree soon." ree with this, of course, but

he'll calm down. His family is worth everything to him, so he'll accept the situation I looked at him, and there was only one thing left that I still got to ask him, "Aren't you a angry with me?" X
