Chapter 149 Game over
“Only one figure skater could do it yet. Did you know? Ava asked him in excitement.
“No, but now
I do.” Gideon laughed.
When the music ended, she stayed in her last position for a few seconds, and she went on her knees. She was panting a little, but that panting apparently resulted from her emotions. It seemed like she felt moved. It seemed like she couldn’t believe she finished her program like that.
The crowd stood up to applaud for her. The presents fell on the ice. Alice held her head for a few seconds, then she bent down and kissed the ice before she stood up. Then, like she was back to reality, she smiled widely while she waved to the crowd and bowed.
She skated to the gate, where her trainers waited for her. After putting her covers and jacket on, he hugged each of them, then she hugged Riccardo, who hugged her back tightly, just like Alexandra did after. Alice kissed Matteo, and then the moment came that I feared the most. Alice looked at Gideon, just like Riccardo and Alexandra.
Gideon nodded to them, and she helped Ava to get off of the box.
“Ava, I’ll see y
you later, I promise.”
“Gideon, can I go with you?”
“Not this time, but we’ll meet soon.
She nodded.
Only I heard the conversation, and I closed my eyes in disbelief. He straightened up and looked at me.
1 shook my head in disbelief.
“Gideon, please, don’t do that to me.”
“I’m sorry, father, but I am no longer can do this.”
I lowered my head. I felt like I would cry. However, after a moment, I looked at him, ready to beg him
“Gideon, we are one family…” “Yes, but I think you are the one who forgot about it. I have
e to go.”
I felt like someone stabbed me straight into my heart.
“What the hell are you talking about, Gideon?” Amber nearly screamed. When her eyes widened as she looked at someone behind Gideon’s back.
I looked in the direction to see Alice standing there.
“Mr. Sullivan.” She nodded to me as a greeting. I only lowered my head, Gideon looked at her before he held her into his embrace and hugged, then kissed her gently. Alice looked thrilled. I knew they were doing this to show Amber. She was never been in the winning position.
After the hug, she stepped to Ava, who hopefully heard nothing from the conversation earlier. She kissed her cheek,
“Alice, you were amazing.” She said with honest admiration.
“Thank you, Ava,” Alice smiled at her.
“When can I see you?”
“Soon.” she said, then she looked at me while Gideon held her hand and they took the first step away from us.
“Gideon, stop.” Amber shouted after him. He stopped and looked at him with hatred.
“You aren’t aware of the consequences of leaving now.” She fused, but Gideon and Alice only looked at her with indifference.
“No, you aren’t aware of the consequences of threatening my father, Game over, Amber.” Gideon stated.

o hear this was like a kick in my chest. What he just said, and the way he said that, told me he knew everything. He knew the truth that I wanted to ide so badly.
le had a last look at me, and he led Alice away, gently holding her waist.
only stood there. Watching my beloved son shaking hands with my biggest enemy, and kissing his wife on her cheeks. It clearly showed me that wasn’t he first time they met. The worst was I couldn’t imagine what he did to make Riccardo accept him.
My biggest enemy took my son. And he left us, because he was happier there.
Spencer, do something. You can’t let him leave me.” Amber screamed at me, but I couldn’t do anything
just remembered little Ava was there too, when the others came down as well. Seth told Ava to leave with Leah.
Spencer, would you explain how it is possible? Elaine questioned me,
‘Elaine, believe me, I didn’t know that.”
Mum, I think we should leave and talk about it at home.” Sloane stepped between us.
“Spencer, you can’t just let it be. Can you hear me?” Amber shouted at me, getting all the attention on her.
“You…” she sighed, obviously tried to calm herself. “You never been a part of this family, and you never will. I only let you be close to my son, because he was upset about losing his wife, Alice. Now you know she is back in his life, and he is happy with her. From now on, we dismiss you from the Sullivan family. Leave now!”
Listening to Elaine’s words and seeing Amber’s facial expression made my heart pound faster. I felt like I would collapse soon.
“Right. You know what that means, Spencer.”
She pushed Sloane away, who stood in her way, and she ran out of the building. I felt like I was lost. I held Elaine and Sloane and I walked out with them. Sloane noticed my state, so she didn’t let me drive.
When we got home, I went to the living room, and I opened a bottle of whiskey, I called all my people to be near the house, hoping that they would save us from the anger of the Devillet while I organise to leave the country.
“What the hell are you doing, Spencer?”
I looked at Elaine, and that was the point when I couldn’t deny the fact my family was
us in life–threatening trouble.
“We must leave as soon as possible, Elaine. I’ll get everyone together. Pack your most necessary stuff, and I hope we can leave in an hour.”
“Whatev
What the hell are you talking about?” Elaine yelled,
“Elaine, Amber wasn’t here because I wanted her to make Gideon forget Alice. She was here because she and her father threatened me.”
“What?” Elaine looked at me, appalled.
“Yes. I used to work with Adams, and I lost a lot of money, because of his stupidness, When I found out about him, it was too late. I was a young kid. The Italians got their people slaughtered by the Devilles. The Bianchi couple were Alice’s grandparents. After they finished them, the Italians put a price on the heads of the culprits. I used the opportunity to make some money, which Llacked back then. It took me a lot of effort, but I found out who did that and I gave the names to the Italians for a huge amount of money. I wanted to do that secretly, but he put the pieces together somehow. Years passed, but he lost all his money recently, so he came to me. I told him 1 would pay for him to leave us alone, but he said his daughter is into Gideon, and that gave him the idea of making them rich by forcing Gideon to marry Amber.”
I swallowed a shot of whiskey, My story apparently shocked Elaine. Her face showed she didn’t know what to say.
“Yes Elaine, now he is on his way to tell my secret to the Devilles, making the entire Sullivan family disappear.” I sighed. “We must leave, darling, and you have to know how much I am sorry, even if I know it doesn’t make any difference anymore. Even if you hate me now, your safety comes first, and 1 am going to make sure you will come out of this in one piece, like it or not.”
She sat down in front of me. This is how I never wanted to see her…
“But our beautiful house.” She cried. “What about Ava?” she e asked me while tears rolled down on her face.

“Seth is well organised. They will leave the country in about an hour. They will go to France. They have everything over there.”
“Tell me this isn’t happening. Please tell me. Spencer, tell me.”
And she broke down. She started sobbing. I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to hug her, but I was afraid that she would refuse me, as it was all my fault. Soon Sloane arrived as well, and after she got to know what happened, she just held her mother, but apparently she was in the same state as her.
All of us jumped when Lilly appeared with a message in her hand. I took the paper.
“A man wants to see you, Mr. Sullivan.”
1 swallowed while I looked at Elaine. I held my gun, then I looked at Lilly.
“Lilly, stay here. If you hear anything, just take them out through the garden.”
She nodded. As she knew us well, I taught her what to do and where to go if I say so.
“Don’t go, dad.”
