Cold Hearted Princess

Chapter 102 An honest conversation

“I don’t know. Actually, he never hurt me. He was cold to me at first, but he never mistreated me, and he gave me so much in the end. After we started our relationship, I never felt unloved.”

I sighed.

“Look, Alice, I really hate this connection between you two. Our families are enemies, and we never become friends with enemies, understand?”

I felt my heart pounding faster, and even if I felt I couldn’t hold my tears back, I nodded.

He remained motionless and quiet for a little while. He looked like he wants to speak, but something held him back. He exhaled, eventually.

“But.” I moved my gaze back to him. “We are not Capulets and Montagues either, and I just got you back. I don’t want to lose you because I forbid you to meet him. Know, I’ll never like him, and probably I’ll be the happiest person on Earth if you two won’t get on with each other. Finally, and I think this sis the most important you must know, If he’s going to hurt you again, I’m going to torture him to death. Understand?”

I smiled through my tears and that was the first time I leaned closer and I hugged him. He hugged me back, keeping me tight, like he waited for this too. He caressed my back. That was the first time I felt I had a real father.

When he let me go, he wiped my tears.

“And about what he said…”

I looked at him, waiting for him to finish.

“He told you the truth, Alice, but I was fuming. I tried to find you for a long time. And even when I found you, I had to face that you belonged to my enemies. The Sullivans were hurting you, and they couldn’t take care of you like they should, so I felt like they didn’t deserve to know anything about you. I know Gideon is still young, therefore he is reckless, but if he wants to be with my daughter, he must improve a lot.”

He stopped a bit.

“And about that woman. Just like he said, he wasn’t with her. After you left the club, he went back home alone. But just monitor her, because they are about to cooperate in business, and I know her family broke. So probably their intention is to marry into the Sullivan family. Seth is married. Sloane is a woman, but Gideon is divorced.”
