Cold-Hearted Princess Novel

Chapter 72 The unexpected meeting

“Probably he has some, but do your

think they would protect him against us?”

“Well, they know in well.”

“Exactly. This is what I meant.”

I was about to get out of the car when I felt my phone vibrating. Alice asked me what time I would get home, I tested her back quickly,

Seth looked at me questioningly.

“Alice. Asked me what time I would go home. Seth smiled and nodded. I knew what was on his mind. Since I had Alice, I have changed a lot, and he never thought that would happen to me

We walked to the door. There were a few young guys. They played music. They rapped about their fate, about their hard life. When we walked closer, they stripped and stared at us. I stepped forward.

“What do you want, mate?”

One of them asked moc: I pulled a picture out of my pocket and I showed it to him. He frowned first, then looked at mr.

“And what if I saw him?”

“pay you.”

“A hundred bucks.”

I laughed.

“Isn’t that a bit too much for that little information?”

“Do you want it or not?” He asked, which made me smile.

They might have called everyone on the street for help, and we couldn’t have fought back, so I gave him the money.

“Florine, flat renty four.”

I nodded, and we both moved into the building. There wasn’t a lock on the door, of course

“Gid, don’t you think we should call a few guys before we enter?

“Come on, Seth, it’s only an old anshule.”

“Am I right if I feel like it’s going to hurt him like hell?”

“Alice told

me about the life that this rat caused for her I promised her I would take revenge on him, and believe me, I will do that happily.”

He said

I walked to the stains, then we walked up. The building inside looked dreadful. It was damaged, smelly and dark, with a lot of trash. Even if I thought he belonged here, I also thought about the money that he accepted from my family for Alice,

If he’d had a brain, he could buy a decent sized house, and live in there quietly till the end of his life, without working or worrying about anything. But it seemed like he wanted more.

When we arrived at the door, we both held our guns, ready to use them, before Seth knocked on the door. He knocked a few times, but there was no answer, and we also couldn’t hear any moments inside.

Seth looked at me, and I took a step back. He kicked the door, and it slammed open. We held our guns forward, ready to shoot if necessary, and we slowly walked inside. The Bat was missy and full of trath. We slowly checked the rooms, and when we made sure there was no one in the Hat we both relaved

“Do you think he’ll come back?” I asked Seth

“I don’t know, Carles That depends on how much be hallows the happenings ”

Chapter 72 The unexpected meeting

“Do you think he’ll come back?” I asked Seth.

“I don’t know, Gideon. That depends on how much he follows the happenings.”

“Do you think he knows we are after him?”

“Probably, yes. “He moved to a chest of drawers and pulled the drawers out. When he saw its content, he moved to the wardrobe, but there was also nothing.

“I think we got the answer, then.” I sighed. That I found him made me happy, but to know he was one step ahead made me disappointed.

“But where is he getting the information from?” I asked.

Seth shrugged his shoulders.

“He is a traitor. How do you know he has no connection with Riccardo or the Devilles? Or both? I wouldn’t wonder if he’d appear one time in our house to say he is selling information about others.”

I sighed.

“Do w

you think someone has some information about him?”

“I think he knows that everyone in here would tell us about his whereabouts for a small amount of money.”

“True”

As soon as the world escaped my mouth, we both jumped behind the coach as someone broke in and shot toward us. I felt a sharp pain in my arm as a bullet entered my flesh, but I tried to ignore that, and we both pointed our guns toward them.

Five muscular men entered the flat. Carlo walked on the front, and behind the five men there was Riccardo. He looked at me and laughed..

“I would have never thought we would meet here, Gideon.”

“Don’t come closer if you want to stay alive.” I told him seriously, but he laughed again.

“What a fool and spoiled boy you are!”

He shook his head.

“But I’m thrilled to meet you here today, actually. Do you know why?”

1 stayed motionless.

“Because you have something that belongs to me. After the accident I wanted to take revenge, but now I have an offer for you. You give me hack what is mine and I forget about what you have done to my wife. And the two families can live next to each other like before.”

“Riccardo, listen to me. I have nothing to do with that accident. I wasn’t even near that time.”

I saw what was happening behind them while they focused on us, so I was braver

“And if you are talking

about Alice, you have to know I would never let you put your filthy hands on her in

in this lifetime.”

I could see the anger in his eyes, but I also knew the game was over, and this time, we won. He saw our gazes were looking behind them, so he turned around. About ten of our guys stood behind them, holding their guns pointing at them. We stood up, pointing our guns at them, too.

When Riccardo nodded, they put their guns down and turned over to leave, Riccardo looked into my eyes. He was fuming. After his killer look, he turned around and motioned his team to leave. We waited a bit, then we left the flat too.

“Gideon, are you alright? You are bleeding?” Seth noticed my bloody shirt.

*ll take you to the hospital, Sam said worriedly. The wound was painful indeed. I nodded. I knew the bullet only scoured my arm, so that was only the bleeding need to be stopped.

Chapter 72 The unexpected meeting

We sat in the car, and while Seth tried to treat my wound, I realised they came there without someone calling them. I frowned.

“Sam, how come you are here?”

“Your M

Mrs. was worried about you, and she asked me to check on you.”

To hear that felt really nice, but it also made me feel bad. She just lost her mother, and who knew what she thought about where I was?

I sighed, and I took my phone. She texted me, asking if I was okay, and also there was a missed call from her. I rang her back. My heart pounded faster when I called her for the third time, and she still didn’t answer.

“Sam, just take me home.”

“Gideon, get into the hospital. Get your wound treated.” Seth nearly shouted at me.

“Fuck that. I want to go home now.” I shouted back.

“Gideon…”

“Just call the doctor to come to my house. I don’t care, but Alice didn’t pick up her phone. She is alone. Sam and the guys are here. We must go back home now

Seth shook his head in disbelief, and he motioned to Sam to do what I asked him.

He turned around, and finally we were on the way back home.

I rang her a few times, but she still didn’t

didn’t answer. I felt nervous like never.

It seemed like ages passed when we arrived back. I got out of the car, and I ran into the house, followed by the others. I ran to the living room first to find her curled up on the sofa with teary eyes.

She looked at me first, then she looked at the others, and finally her gaze landed on my bloody shirt. Apparently, it shocked her. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
