Cold-Hearted Princess Novel

Chapter 150 Finally at ease

Sloane held my hand, but I looked at her and I caressed her face, then I freed myself, and I walked to the door. I had a grip on my gun. I really wanted to be the first to shoot, but the man stood there with his hand in his pocket.

When he looked at me, I recognised him.

“Carlo?”

“Mr. Sullivan. Signore D’angeli sent me here to let you know the mission of eliminating James, and Amber Adams is complete.”

He took his phone out of his pocket and he showed pictures. They were dead.

“Signore D’angeli is grateful for you helped the D’angelis in the past, therefore he gives you and your family full protection in this case.”

I just stood there, and I couldn’t believe what he just said.

*Good night Mr. Sullivan. Sleep in peace.”

He nodded, and he opened the door himself to leave. I couldn’t hold my emotions back anymore. I sat on the floor and I sobbed. It took a while when Elaine and Sloane ran to me, followed by Lilly. They shouted at me to ask me what happened. I only could tell them three words: we are saved.

When I calmed down a little, I asked Sloane to call his brother to come here. He was hesitating, but finally he came with his family. He couldn’t say word either, but he looked more calm too.

The whole family spent the night together.

Gideon

After the gala, we all were invited to the D’angeli house to celebrate Alice. I had mixed feelings. To see my dad’s face, to see he broke when he watched me leave them, hurt me so badly.

I missed my family already, and the only thing that I could think of I made them disappointed in me. But even if I felt like that, knowing I wouldn’t see Amber again in this lifetime, and knowing I would have Alice next to me with no obstruction, made me feel happiness like 1 haven’t felt for a long time,

“Gideon, are you alright?” Alice asked me while she held my hand in the car that took us back to the D’angeli house.

I looked at her with a smile.

She sighed.

“Just give him time, Gideon. He might not be angry with you. He might be just shocked because of the happenings, but it might change after he calmed down.”

I smiled at her still.

“Yeah, we’ll see

She looked out of the window while she

caressed my hand with her thumb. She looked happy, and for me that was the most important.

We arrived soon, and we started with a welcome drink. I still couldn’t be at ease. I knew Amber was out somewhere, and if she and her dad have let the Devilles know about my father, my family was in trouble. A life–threatening trouble. Alice asked me a few times if I was okay, but each time I tried to smile at her and deny the fact that I wasn’t.

“Gideon, would you come with me for a few seconds? I want to talk to you.”

I looked at Riccardo, then I looked at Alice.

“Alice, would you excuse us?”

“Of course” She said while she looked at her lather with a frown.

“Everything is okay darling, I just need to have a word with him. I’ll bring him back soon.”

Alice smiled at him and nodded. Apparently, she trusted in her father.

I followed Riccardo, who walked outside the house. We reached the vast tent, and he invited me to sit down.

“I can see you worry,” he said. I lowered my

“Yes, honestly I do.” I sighed. “I’m just worried about my family.”

“I know. If I was you, I would feel the same.”

He took his phone out of his pocket, then he searched for something. Finally, he gave it to me.

“Have a look.” He said.

I took it, and what 1 saw made me shiver. It’s not like I have seen nothing like this before, but to see two corps in blood delightful, even if that meant I didn’t need to worry anymore.

I wasn’t something that was s

“Adams

was killed before the gala finished, just in case Amber would want to call him, and Amber died straight after she stepped out of the sports centre. Adams had many dodgy businesses, so the Devilles wouldn’t want to find out who it was. I’m well informed, so I know the Devilles do not know about your father’s betrayal. Your family is safe. You don’t have to worry about this anymore.”

I couldn’t believe how quickly he sorted out everything. I didn’t know what to say. Finally, I was at ease.

“Could I let my family know that…?”

“They know already. I sent Carlo to meet your father in person and show him the pictures as evidence.”

I looked at him in appalled. Alice was the last to perform. The gala finished not long after and they took us here. In this short time, Riccardo solved all the problems that my family should have dealt with.

“I.. Thank you Signore D’angeli. I appreciate that. I mean, I don’t even know how to thank you…”

“The only thing that you can do is to make my daughter happy.” He said.

“I promise, I will.” It was hard for me to talk from the emotions, but this was one thing that I could promise at ease.

“Great. I know you’ll be happy together.”

I nodded. Honestly, I didn’t know what else I could say. He stood up after a few seconds and looked at me.

“They are probably missing us. The dinner starts soon. We should go back.”

I stood up too, and I nodded. I followed him back. Even if I have probably lost my family, after this conversation, I could smile honestly. Alice noticed. that too, and somehow her smile was more honest as well.

We spent a delightful time with the family. They offered us to stay with them, but both me and Alice wanted to be alone, so we went back into her flat. I still didn’t want to let her know what that was all about. The only thing that I told her was that from now on we can live together happily.
