Cold Hearted Princess

Chapter 38 The second attempt 08:32 Alice I watched then leave, and I stood at the window for a while. He madeso confused. I was certain he would harmphysically, but he didn't do that. Actually, he was quite nice compared to his attitude. The worst was I could calm down completely in his arms. He becthe only one who comforted me, but I was scared of him and had feelings for him at the stime. He was my buyer and my prisoner, and still I was into him so much it hurtto see him leaving with her.

I sat down on the floor, then I lowered my head, crying quietly. I was sure he was going to banfrom ice skating, and probably I could forget about going out as well.

I regretted what I did, but I still hoped someone would have paid attention to me, and someone would helpget out of here.

When I've got no more tears to cry, I moved on the sofa. Hours passed, and it was dark outside already. It seemed like he would sleep in his parents" house. With Gemma. After he keptin his arms, somehow it hurtmore to think that she would sleep next to him, while she would try to make him hurt me. And she would be in his arms, and they would be together. She would satisfy him, "Stop it, Alice." I shook my head, and I tried to push these thoughts away.

He didn't say that I had to stay in my room, but probably he meant that, I felt hungry, but I didn't dare to go down. After a while I just laid down on the sofa, hugged myself and I just watched the walls.

at they were watching me.

I knew I couldn't leave the city. Last time, I thought I could, but I was wrong. Seth also madeaware that I slowly got up and went to the window, I looked around and I could see a car. That was Sam. He indeed watched the house, but I could see no one else.

I took a deep breath while I leaned against the wall. Actually, what I could lose? My life? My hopes or my dreams? I lost those already. And if I don't try, I don't give myself a chance at all. I thought. Homelessness is better than being a slave with a daily death wish. So I started to think.

I couldn't believe that a man like Gideon had no other hidden way out of the house. I clenched my fist, closed my eyes. Taking a lot of stuff would slowdown, so I only grabbed my money. I don't know how I got the guts, but I felt like it was a now or never situation.

I put my hair in a bun, and I put my hoodie on, then I left my room hurriedly. I rushed down the stairs. When I got to the kitchen, I slammed the storage room door, and I checked the walls by knocking on them in different places. They were solid, so I ran out, and I went to the living room. It tooka long time, but I couldn't find anything. I slipped down on the floor, leaning against the wall, breathing heavy. "Think, Alice." I told to myself then I remembered the gym in the basement. That was a hidden room. Probably, the last that people would find in the house. I ran down there. I looked around, and I literally crawled on the walls.

Soon I felt an incredible happiness, when I felt the wall was made my a light material. I looked around, and I took a weight, then I hit the wall, and the plasterboard broke instantly. I needed to smile when I saw a hidden door behind it. It was locked, but I didn't give up. I hit it with the weight. I sweated, and I felt like my muscles hurt, but finally, it opened.

There was a corridor. The torch on my phone wasn't enough to light it up completely. I was scared a lot, but I ran down on it, even if it was so dark and long. I didn't know what I would find in the end, if I ever would reach it, but I didn't want to give up. And finally, the corridor ended. I found steps to the ceiling. I climbed up. There was a lid, which madehappy even if I was in fear so much. It was locked by a latch opened it.

The fresh air hitlike the thought of my sweet freedom. When I was out, I happily realised that I was completely out of the land. I ran. I didn't know where, but I ran. Following the signs, I found myself in the busy town shortly.

I walked on the street like normal people, as I didn't want to get anyone's attention. Now, no one knew I left the house, so I could go to the train station. I searched the directions on my phone, so I thought I would get there easily. It was a long way, but I got here meeting no familiar face. The next train went to San Francisco again. I ran to the till, and I bought my ticket. I looked around nervously, and I kept my distance from the corners, learning from the last time.

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I saw a few men in suits watching me. I was scared and I started panting. I knew I had to get out of here as soon as possible. That was my only chance. I went out of the station and walked with the others, trying to disappear into the crowd. I looked back, and I noticed those men followed me. My heart wanted to jump out of my chest, and I increased my speed.

Feeling terrified, I just ran, when I felt strong arms pullinginto an alleyway between two buildings. I tried to get free desperately, and shouted, but I felt a hand on my mouth.

For a moment, I hoped it was Gideon or Seth, but there was nothing similar between them. This person was huge, more muscular, and I couldn't move, 17:57 PM Chapter 39 The second attempl nor shout. I cried, and I hysterically tried to get free, but he was so strong, I couldn't manage. I felt that was the end. And the worst was, I begged God to send Gideon or Seth here. But they were far away with their family. Happily.

Gideon

Gemma didn't stop talking toall the way to my parents' house. She annoyedlike never. I really wished I could just kick her out of my car, and of my life. I was grateful when we arrived. We left the car, and we walked into the house. Lilly greeted us kindly. Gemma didn't even look at her. She just lifted her chin and walked away.

I smiled and nodded at her. Noticing | that she kept watching around, I felt guilty again. Probably she expected Alice to come, and I could see the disappointment on her face when she realised Alice wasn't here. She motioned tothat the others had been out in the garden. I thanked her, and I walked away too. I folded my arm around Gemma's waist, and I walked out with her.

When they noticed us, they stared at us weirdly. I thought they expectedto take Alice with me. I got the answer soon, as little Ava cto me, and held my shirt sleeve. "Gideon, where is Alice?" X
