Cold Hearted Princess

Chapter 42 Bittersweet moments

That was all that I could say, hoping that he would delay my punishment. I just felt like my sensitive soul couldn’t take any more torture today. He stood up and came to me. He sat down, not keeping his distance from me at all. His perfume hit my nose again, and it reminded me of earlier, when he kept me in his arms in the car. I thought the time spent here and all the happening took my common sense completely

“Alice, who really needs to apologise, is me.”

Hearing him, I raised my head with a sudden move, and I looked at him astonished, I couldn’t believe my ears. The last thing that I expected him to say was that. It made me frown. He looked at the ground while I stared at him, and he continued:

“Riccardo D’angell is the leader of the Italian mafia. His wife had a car accident, and the car that crashed into hers was the same make and type as mine. They suspected I had caused the accident intentionally. Signore D’angeli loves his young wife very much, and he wants revenge. Even if I told him many times, I wasn’t even close to the area where it happened, he still blaming me. Usually our kind, in this situation, takes revenge. He thinks I wanted to kill his wife, so he wants to take someone who is important to me.”

He took a deep breath while he looked at me.

“Gemma always showed up by my side, and even if I never was in love with her, I thought she didn’t deserve to be hurt because of my business, so I tried to find a solution. My dad had this idea of replacing her, to avoid her getting hurt. And this is the reason you are here.”

I couldn’t say anything for a few moments, but I didn’t want him to think I was that stupid. Knowing I was right made me terrified more.

“I knew that.”

He looked at me with a sudden move, and I could feel some kind of guilt in his eyes.

I nodded.

“I heard about these things. My stepfather used to do dodgy businesses. I mean, I didn’t know what you needed me exactly for.” I laughed nervously while my tears appeared again.

I felt surprised to feel his hand caressing my head. He pulled me closer into his embrace. It took time while 1 calmed down again. When I felt I could speak, I moved myself away, even if I really didn’t want to, and looked at him. One question was on my mind, which I was scared to ask, but my
