Cold-Hearted Princess Novel

Chapter 34 The forbidden performance.

I took a deep breath, and I went on the ice. I waved to the audience with a huge smile on my face. They all clapped and whistled. I could see and hear how happy they were to see me. I skated around the rink a few times and I did a few jumps

When I felt I was ready, I skated to the middle, and I took my starting position. I felt the fo heard the music.

I started. When I did my first jump, a quad flip, everyone clapped, and that always made me braver. The next jump was a triple Axel, followed by a triple loe loop. My spins were always fast and nicely kept, just like this time. My flexibility always amazed people, and the jury called me an incredibly sensual figure skater.

Landing a quad toe wasn’t a problem at all, and my combination of a triple Lutz and a triple Toe Loop couldn’t be more perfect. My layback spinnings and my cantilever amazed the audience just as much as my Salche quad, and my Camel spinnings were foot perfect as well. Before I finished the program, I did a combination of four Toe Loop, one Euler and a triple Salchow.

Everyone clapped and whistled, and I felt thrilled. 1 skated around and bowed at the audience. I was really proud of myself. The adrenalin still worked in my veins, as I couldn’t stop smiling and waving.

The first moment when I fell back to reality was when I arrived at the door of the paling, and I met Gideon’s killing gaze. I didn’t know him too well, but I knew he was fuming. The first wind of regret hit me just then.

As I left the ice, he held my arm. Probably it looked gentle, but I could feel it wasn’t gentle at all. He took me at the back, straight to the changing rooms, and he pushed me in.

“Get change. I’m waiting for you here.”

He said that coldly

coldly, still furious.

I did what he said.

While I was in the changing room, I tried to look around, hoping that I would find a window or a door that I could use to escape. I couldn’t find anything, of course. As I was looking for a way out of this, I felt the full weight of what I just did. Lilly’s story was on my mind. I remembered what she said, and recalling Gideon’s fuming face just made me feel terrified. I gasped, and I cried. I thought I might scream when we leave, then people might realize I was in trouble and they would help me. As I was thinking, I heard a knocking on the door.

“Alice, you have two minutes to come out.”

I couldn’t answer. I quickly changed, and I still tried to think about how I could get out of here.

“Alice, you have one minute, and I go in.” He shouted with obvious anger in his voice.

I felt my chest grow heavy. At that moment, everything came to my mind. Lilly, the list of rules, my dream about the Sullivans

I started shaking, and I sat on the floor, sobbing. I only jumped when the door opened up, and Gideon stepped in. He stopped for a second, then he moved closer. When he took my arm to pull me up from the floor, I lost control. I tried to free myself from his grip. I couldn’t, of course.

“Let me go.

He was like he didn’t hear me. He just held me tight and led me out. And the worst was, he used a corridor that was completely empty. I still tried to make his job harder, so he pushed me to the wall.

“Do you want me to make you quiet?”

I shook my head quickly.

“Than calm down for Ick’s sake.”

I felt lost when we stepped out of the street at the back of the building.

Gideon’s car arrived, and I recognised Sam, who took the car there. He gave Gideon

about fifteen minutes, and he literally took me out of the car. He led me into the house, straight into my room.

“Don’t dare to come out.”

He said that with anger, and he slammed the door before he left. I was still gasping. I didn’t know what was coming, and that made me more scared.

I was fuming. Really, I felt like I could break something, I needed to take deep breaths, not to lose my mind with her. It wasn’t just she was disobedient, and she didn’t give a shit about what I said, it was what she did to herself. When I heard her name, I didn’t know how I felt. First, I thought she disappeared, because they might took her, actually this came to my mind, when my dad told me that, everything was going as it was planned, but when I saw her on the ice, like never, skating happily with a huge smile on her face, I thought that was the end of the world

Watching her skate in a beautiful dress and confidently perform difficult moves made me love her even more. But the daze didn’t last long. I knew she had attention already, but I was sure her performance was just would give our enemies a perfect opportunity to take her away. And after they saw how much she was worth, that would be their goal.

As I looked around, I saw a few men who I was sure belonged to Riccardo’s team, and that just made me more scared.

Gemma couldn’t stop talking about her. She said she was a liar, and she’s done against the rules, so she wanted to make me promise that would chastise her hard. She suggested I should break her legs, so she never could skate again. I felt like she would be the one who would have a broken leg if she didn’t shut her mouth.

On the other side, my dad couldn’t stop clapping. And he looked so happy for her. He mentioned he knew she was something something special when he saw her the first time, and little Ava’s reaction didn’t help either. She looked at her performance, like she was looking at her biggest idol. Watching them, I quickly understood what happened. My father did that intentionally. And probably he showed little Ava a few videos about Alice that made her like Alice so much, and probably that gave her the idea that she wanted to be like Alice.

My dad likely saw this as a chance to introduce Alice to Riccardo and to consider the possibility of Ava becoming a skilled ice skater in the future.

Even if they didn’t let me concentrate, my eyes followed those men, and when I saw they parted from each other, I had enough. The only thing that I really wanted was to take Alice out of there as quickly as possible.

I stood

up, and my dad wanted to stop me, but somehow, he let me go. It was weird but I haven’t really got time to think about that. Gemma tried to run after me, but my dad held her back. I could hear that he told her to calm down, and let me get Alice, as I was her husband, and even if she was special, she couldn’t be disobedient with her owner. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

I ran down to the place where I knew she was going to leave the ice rink, and even if I saw the fear in her eyes, I didn’t care this time. I preferred to see her in fear than seeing her dead.

I wanted her to wear normal clothes, not the one that takes people’s attention, but we had to be quick. I called Sam to bring my car to the back entrance quickly, and I asked him to make sure our way out was going to be clear.

I felt nervous, so I couldn’t wait any longer. I got her. For a moment I froze when I saw her state. It was horrible to see her like this, but again, even if we both felt horrible, the main thing was to get her out of there as fast as possible, so I held her. I held her in my embrace. I held her tight with my one arm, my other hand held my gun under my shirt, and I was more than happy I didn’t need to use it in front of her.

She didn’t make it easy for me, though. When I had enough, I pushed her to the wall, and I couldn’t hide my anger. I knew I made her scared more, at least after that we could leave quickly and quietly.

I just put her in the car, and I only was at ease when we arrived back at home. I didn’t want to hurt her, but I wanted her to understand the consequences of her actions. When I ask her not to do something, she needs to follow my orders. I knew it wasn’t really fair, as she didn’t know doing this for her safety. She thought I was doing this because she was

is my property.
