Seducing The Ice Queen

While Alice and Adam had the time of their lives, lost in each other and their own small world of friends, before returning to the country, two people had formed their own welcome for SKY. Lucas Ivy and Samual Faye had joined their hands and were now planning he downfall of Alice Faye and SKY.

Lucas Ivy smoked the thick cigar in his hand as he looked at the other mawho was detailing over his plan. He had to say, the scandal that Samual Faye had brought him was too explosive and he could hardly wait to see the look of defeat on their faces when this came out. He cursed his own spies for being fooled for so long. The thing that could bring about the downfall of SKY had been in front of their eyes for so long and yet everyone had been too blind to see it. K really was a man with high intelligence. He had hidden the most scintillating thing in plain sight. 

But once again Lucas Ivy could not help but frown at the plan. There were too many loopholes and things that could go wrong. And once K found out that they knew the secret then the man would just make it go away. He had that kind of a charm! This was also why Lucas was willing to wait for their return. Because only after they returned home in glory and were at the height of their fame would they fall thoroughly.

Smirking, Lucas Ivy questioned,"I can understand your hatred for Alice Faye and this not wanting her to be happy, but isn't your ultimate goal to get rid of Alice Faye from Faye Group? How is SKY being exposed going to help you?"

"It is very simple Mr. Ivy. Alice Faye is much like SKY's leader. Never exposing her weaker side and always cautious and meticulous. But ever since she has found K, she has been more worried about him and spending time with him than about the business. Oh, the people working for her are just as meticulous and careful but the directors are becoming more and more scared about her distraction. Once SKY starts to fumble Alice will be focused on them and loosen the reins over Faye Group. And with you adding fuel to the fire, the board of directors will finally be at the end of their patience and then the frespected Lady Ye will introduce to propose another CEO. The both of us will then have achieved our goals!"

Both the men, then smiled slyly and clinked their glasses waiting for their upcoming victory.

On the other side, Alice watched in amusement as the boys made enough noise to scare everyone. And they were just playing pool volleyball. But more than playing they were actually splashing water at each other and screaming their lungs out while she and Felix watched in unison.

As she went on to pick a piece of fruit in her enjoyment, her hand clashed with Felix who pulled it back with a hurtied frown. Seeing his reaction, Alice rolled her eyes and said,"Just because you are not interested in touching women does not meant that you have to treat us like untouchables and taboo."

The teasing statement made Felix freeze and he turned to look at K in horror. But Alice simply picked up the apple and popped it into her mouth before denying,"He is not the one who said it. You know him better than that."

Felix directed a look at Alice and said,"You are quite observant."

"Hmm..Maybe I am. And you are quite interesting."

Felix smiled a dimpled smile and said,"Thank you. You are quite interesting as well."

Alice threw a smile his way but then it was her turn to look shocked as Felix said,"You are hiding something from K and still claim to like him. There is no trust where there are lies or hidden secrets. And when there is no trust, there cannot be love.

Fixing her eyes intently on K, Alice smiled, "You are right. For K, I have been selfish. It is also the reason why I find you interesting. You have been selfless for love. I wish I could do that."

The two people looked at each other in silence. Each was aware of the others secret but chose not to share it.

Just then, K noticed the two people involved in conversation but the atmosphere around them seemed tense. Jumping out of the pool, he walked over to the loungers and took a bite of the crispy apple from Alice's hand before shaking his head like a wet dog and splattering it all over the two people sitting there.

Alice shrieked while Felix simply shook his head at the childishness but in the end both the people were dragged into the pool and another round of pool volley ball ensued. But much to the irritation of K- Felix, Apollo and Alice we're in one team while he, IM and Gyeom were in the other. And for the first time in his life, K was drowned in a sea of vinegar as Felix and Alice worked perfectly in a team getting cues without even speaking. EHa! He was going to beat Felix into a pulp, K decided when finally the game came to an end with his team losing horribly.

A long while later, Alice and Adam lay in bed talking quietly to each other as they discussed their plans to move back. All their families had organized a big welcome bash for them, followed by a fan meeting who were noelw eager to meet their idols. They would not be returning to the stage any time soon but SKY had rested and recovered well during this period and would now spend a little time with their families.

K was now planning to take Alice to his grandmother's resting place while Alice wanted him to meet her mother, grandfather and her still alive grandmother. But their plan was brought to a stop when this time Alice received the news that her grandmother was once again admitted to the hospital, this time with a severe condition.

As Adam tried to convince her to let him go along, she refused to change their plans and prepared to go alone while asking him to come with SKY. But a throbbing fear lived in

But their plan was brought to a stop when this time Alice received the news that her grandmother was once again admitted to the hospital, this time with a severe condition.

As Adam tried to convince her to let him go with her, Alice refused stubbornly insisting that she would go on her own. The reason for this was simple. The person who had informed her of her grandmother's condition was not just anyone but Mr. Adken himself. And he had said that he would be coming to pick her up. K would naturally question her about the man and Adken would also be offended at this. She had promised Adken that once she came back, she would answer solely to him..

On the other hand, Adam was re living the past. That time also they had simply spent a little while together when she had received the news of her mother's sickness. At that time also, she had insisted that she would have to go alone because she would need to talk to her parents about their relationship before they did anything else and with her mother's health, this would not be possible. But she had never remembered him after that time. Until they had met again so many years later. And the fact that she was hiding something from his was like a stone in his heart. He had thought that he had time to ask her about it. What made her stare into space so melancholically at times. She was here with him and yet not. But Adam could not ask her any of these things as Alice rushed with her packing. 

Finally, just as she was about to wheel her bag out, Adam caught her in a hug before taking her mouth in a hard possessive kiss. "Promise me. Alice. Promise me that you will never forget me."

He knew logically that it was not the case but his heart did not know that why it felt like a goodbye. Maybe it was the anxiety of separating from her that made him break out in a cold sweat. He did not think that if they separated this time, he would be able to bear it.

As Alice walked into the lounge, the tears that she had held in finally let loose. She has wanted to give him explanations for what she was about to do but she knew that she had no good excuse. There was a saying that one must hate carefully for they become what they hate the most. For she too had become like her father. For the company, she had made the biggest and the worst decision of her life. She had chosen her company and her revenge over love.. And all she wanted to say was Sorry.
