An Ice Queen for sale (Alice)

Chapter 197 Epilogue

Alice's POV (Seven years later)

kneeled down to check Hannah's pads. I was super excited to see my daughter's first real training. I was one of her coaches. Even so, I knew exactly how hard the ice could be when you fall, and obviously I was more anxious when it came to my own child. Alice, she will be fine."

Gideon said, obviously tried to save her from my overcare.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

nodded nervously. I kissed her little check, and I let her go. We removed the protectors of our skates too, and both of us followed her on the ice. She was four years old, exactly the same age when my mum took me for my first lesson. Actually, she knew much more than I did that time. She was with ne many times while I trained, and of course she wanted to go on the ice all the time. We didn't push her, she just wanted to do what mummy could lo. I knew that was Gideon's encouragement, as he always showed her videos of me, and he never forgot to tell her how many gold medals 1 had, ncluding the Olympic one, which probably meant nothing to her yet.

After we got back from Beijing, I finished competing officially.

At that time I thought I was going to miss skating hadly, but I realised I was happy like this as well. I loved training new talents; I loved to encourage them and to see their success always made me proud and feel perfect.

I worked with Beth and Gareth. Since I got to know them as my colleagues, they w were completely different. I got to know that Beth had a heart, and later she apologised to me for being so mean sometimes while she was my trainer, but I told her not to. I told her how much I was grateful for her behaviour towards me, as it always pushed me to work harder, achieving my goals.

I married Gideon a year after I became an Olympic gold medalist, and we have lived happily since then. We had only a few arguments, and we both learned to value the time we could spend together.

His mum organised the wedding, of course, but this time I was involved as well. After what happened to Gideon, she was more caring about him. I could say she was clingy, but I didn't mind at all. After I became a mother myself, I got to understand her.

I think all that we were going through at that time taught us a lot, and the happenings brought all of us closer.

We didn't plan to have a child, it just happened, and even though I felt I wasn't completely ready yet to become a parent, I loved my little girl to the Moon and back since the first movement she made in my belly.

Gideon was a protective father. He reminded me of Seth. He adored his little one, and I loved to watch them. They always warmed my heart up, and it made me feel perfectly satisfied.

Riccardo and Alexandra lived happily too, but Matteo was attached to me. He spent a lot of time with us,

s, and he treated Hannah like his little sister.

After we got back from Beijing, I knew he wanted to discover who was responsible for the happenings there, but soon, he only told me from now on I don't have to worry about anything, as they sorted the problem with Mr. Sullivan

I asked Gideon a few times, and I knew he knew what happened, but he always said that I do not have to know about it, so soon I gave up.

The only thing that I accidentally heard once was that they found a laptop, The Laptop had some information about storages belonging to the Devilles, and that meant a huge amount of money for them.

The Sullivans were fine as well. Seth and Leah welcomed their son two years ago. Avn loved her brother, but sometimes she missed that had from her parents before their son arrived. I always tried to make her understand, even if a little baby needs more attention, that doesn't mean her parents would love her less.

at attention she

I did everything to push her through to compete, I didn't need to work hard, though. She was the most talented skater in the coach, and she could not wait to be fifteen, so she could compete in the famous competitions. I always tried to reassure her about her talent and success will get her there, but she always tried to fight harder, to make sure no one can beat her. That usually made me smile, as she reminded me of someone: Myself.

I skated to the middle, waving to the little ones to come closer to me. I introduced myself, and after I told them and their parents what the first training was about, I told them the first task to do. Others nearly fell, trying to find their balance, but Hannah skated confidently. Gideon told me after he skated behind me, holding my waist. I nodded.

"Do you think she will be like me?"

He laughed.

"Definitely. But she will stay as a solo figure skater, I guarantee that."

I laughed as well, and I kissed his face before he let me go, and skated back to Hannah.
