Chapter 76 Madness
Gideon
I sat in the bath, trying to calm down. My anger took the lead of me. I could not control my feelings and that made me mad at myself. I shouldn’t shout at her, and I shouldn’t behave like that
Being in a relationship, loving my partner, was new to me. The life that I lived before I got to know her wasn’t normal at all, and I was the one who told
her about it.
I remembered that guy from the funeral. I knew she loved me, and I didn’t think she’d cheat on me or she’d feel anything towards him, but still 1 wouldn’t have been at ease if they would have trained together. Probably, she felt the same.
And she indeed saw and heard a lot. I remembered when Gemma screamed just to let her know how much she enjoyed being with me in bed. I remembered her face when I saw her in the kitchen afterwards,
I shouldn’t have wondered why she was untrustful with me.
I got out of the bath, and after 1 dried myself and dressed, I went to bed. I knew I was going to apologise to her, but she needed to understand what kind of life I got to live. The morning could be the right time to have a conversation about it, I thought. Watching her space on the bed made me miss her from next to me. I tried to ignore my feelings, and I turned on my side. My wound hurt me a lot, but probably because I had a hard day, I fell asleep
Moon.
I had a bad dream. I dreamed about her. She left me for that boy. She told me she can’t live this life that I lived, so she was choosing the simple life with that guy.
I woke up confused. I looked around, and it took me a while to realise that it was only a dream. A dream was so intense I felt I needed to hug her. 1 needed to feel that she was really next to me. I tumed around to do that when I realised the place next to me was still empty.
I searched for the switch on the bedside lamp, which made my wound hurt a lot again. When I lit the lamp, I looked around. To realise I was still alone in the room made me feel heartbroken.
I pulled myself up. It made my arm ached a lot. The doctor gave me painkillers. Probably, the effect of them was gone by now.
I got up, then I left the room. First, I tried her old bedroom. I thought she would sleep there after our argument, but my heart sank to see her room empty. The next room I hoped to find her was the living room, but when I found no one in there, I felt the first whiff of panic.
“Alice.” I shouted.
I walked into the kitchen to find it empty as well. I punched the wall, then I checked the clock. It was three o’clock in the morning. She got up early to train recently, but not this early Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
A thought went through my mind, which made me tremble with fear. I ran to the gym, and I checked the door. It was open. I held my head while I screamed. I was angry with myself, how I could have been that stupid? And only God knew where she ended up.
I took my phone while my hands were shaking, and I called my father. He picked up the phone soon, but clearly I just woke him up.
“Gideon, what is wrong?” He asked in a sleepy, but excited voice.“Alice, Alice disappeared” My voice trembled. I was on the edge of going mad, and my
probably realized that as his voice cleared up immediately.

“What? Where did she go? Why?”
had an argument. She is out somewhere. For fuck’s sake, help me dad. We need to find her. Please,”
“Okay, son, don’t fall apart. I call Seth and the guys. We’ll find her. I’ll be there soon.”
Then he hung up. I slipped down against the wall, and an unfamiliar feeling made my eyes wet. If she will get harmed or killed, I would never forgive to myself, I thought.
It took about a half an hour for my dad to appear. My mum came with him. She hugged me and tried to calm me down. Sloane arrived shortly followed by Seth
When they were about to go after her, I was the one who moved first. Sloan and my mum tried to hold me back, telling me I wasn’t in that state, but I needed to find her. I argued with them, but finally they accepted the fact, I couldn’t stay and wait for our team to bring her back.

When we went out, Sam came to me to apologise, but I punched him as an answer. My dad and Seth held me back from harming him seriously.
Seth gave us ideas where to find her, but we completely lost her. She could catch a bus or a train to leave the city, or anyone was free to get her, as she was alone and vulnerable.
I slipped down on the ground of the bus station, and I held my head. My heart was broken into two for sure. It hurt so much; I felt like there was no meaning to anything anymore. Losing her made me feel like I was a pathetic example of a life being. I failed to protect her, and I couldn’t hate myself more for losing control of my feelings. For shouting at her. To make her leave me.
I don’t remember how long it took for them to pull me up from the ground. Probably the entire place looked at me when I cried her name. I shouted for her, but only Seth and my dad were present. They escorted me home and ensured my safety. Sloane and mum held me from both sides, and they tried to calm me down.
It was about an hour that I could spend with them, but I felt like I was going mad to just sit in there. I made them understand I couldn’t stay in my house, only waiting for the news. Riccardo wanted to kill her, and that rat was around as well. Finally, after they made sure I was mentally fine, they let me go
go with Seth to search for her.
Spencer
To see my son in that state made me sad, like I had never been before. It hurt to see one of my children suffer. I thought about Alice too. 1 liked her, just like Elaine did. Poor child. I didn’t know what their argument was about, but I knew she took it to heart.
I only hoped that she had just left somewhere, and we would find her soon. I worried about her really much, but I also worried about Gideon, Love found him finally, and that made all of us happy for him. He never focused on that, and therefore his life was empty, but Alice gave him the happiness that he never met before. She made him change. She led him to the right path, making him live a normal life.
Thinking of Alice also made me sad. Knowing her life and battles, she deserved a happy life without worries and problems. She was young and beautiful. I didn’t even want to think about what they would do to her if they kidnapped her.
My last idea was a little insane, but I didn’t want to waste more time. I had some guys working for the police. I rang one of them to help us. He took dog with him. We only needed to let one of Alice’s belongings to be sniffed by him, and he pulled us after him immediately. The dog stopped in a car park. I knew what that meant.
“Probably she got into a car, the officer said, I nodded. From then on, we could be sure they took her.
Before I rang Seth, I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. I hoped that whoever took her wanted to use her. I didn’t know how to tell Gideon if we ever received one of her parts in a box, or a picture of her dead body in one or in pieces.
Seth told me about the place where they knew Charles. We went there together, and we tried to get some information about him. The result was ten injured men and six with a bullet in their bodies, shot by Gideon. After seeing him pointing his gun at one guy’s head, a young boy came to us and handed a piece of paper to him. There was an address. It was on the other side of the city. We got into the car and we drove there. Gideon wanted to drive, but we didn’t let him do that, as we all wanted to stay alive.
When we arrived, Gideon was the same, but I let him beehive like that. It made everyone cooperate.
We finally found a boy who said Charles, and his son took a young girl with them. Shortly after, a group arrived at the flat and took the unconscious niel and Charles‘ son. He told us the young man was full of blood, probably shot, and no one saw Charles around.
“Have you heard them speak?”
