Cold Hearted Princess

Chapter 128 Break up number two

I shook my head and even if I didn’t want to; I freed myself from his hug. My chest hurt, and my entire body trembled, But even if that was definitely the hardest decision in my life, I didn’t want to share him with anyone, not even if that was about his family’s safety.

It took a few minutes for me to look at him. I wiped my tears, but I couldn’t stop them.

“I understand. You have your responsibilities toward your family, and you love them, but you have to understand me, too. I’m a human being with feelings and I won’t let anyone keep me as a second option or hidden. I won’t share you with anyone, Gideon.”

“Alice, don’t do this to me, please. We went through a lot and I love you. I need you. I just got you back…

He lowered his head and I could see how much it hurt him. I knew he suffered too, and I refused to be with him in his hardest times, but I couldn’t change my mind.

“I be your friend, but nothing more, Gideon. After your family matters have been sorted, I’m happy to meet you again and having a chat, but till then, there could be nothing between us. And now, I want to be alone.”

“Alice, you can’t be serious. After all that we have been through… I need you…”

“Just leave.” I turned my back to him. The silence hurt me already, and I felt like my heart had been tom in two when I heard him walk away and the door closed. The flat remained quiet and empty. I collapsed onto the bed and 1 sobbed. I laid there for hours until I finally stopped crying. Hugging my Inees, I just sat on my bed and I watched the wall.

My other problem was I didn’t know how to tell this to Riccardo. I only hoped that his anger wouldn’t be that bad to find him and make something that would break my heart more. I was sure I would have to make him understand how much his revenge would hurt me.

And about me? I decided to focus on skating only. Skating always made me feel better. That has always been my therapy, so I thought I would train maybe a bit more.

The next day I went to the sports centre earlier. The previous day’s torture was visible on my face, but I didn’t care. I knew I would be only with Beth that day, and probably she would be happy to hear that I broke up with my ex–husband. Again.

When she entered the ice, she skated to me, and she looked at me with a frown.

“Alice, what happened to you? You look like… you are not

looking well.”

I smiled

“I broke up with him yesterday. I’ll be fine.”

Her facial expression changed to a surprised one.

“But Alice, I hope it wasn’t because of yesterday. I didn’t mean to break up with him.”

“I know. It has nothing to do with yesterday.”

“Oh Alice, I bet you will find the one one day,”

“Certainly I will. But now I just want to focus on skating.”

“Well, that is a good thing, but if you need a break to pull y
