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.”
