Seducing The Ice Queen - Chapter 108

Most of the netizens who were watching a live broadcast of the press conference seemed to agree with what the reported had to say. While in the past, mental health issues would have been considered a taboo, in the last couple of years the youth had slowly come to accept that such things could not be controlled by anyone.

An unexpected factor that no one had taken into account was the SKY’s biggest support base STARS had started to speak for Alice. From refusing to believe that Alice had any mental illness to offering unconditional support for Alice they had single handedly suppressed the news from getting out of hand, thus not affecting the share prices of Faye Group.

But in spite of the support, no one could have expected the incidents that happened after this. James Faye had expected Alice to barge into the press conference and already made preparations to handle the unwanted guests.  It what he did not expect was that instead of Alice the people who would come in uninvited would be the police and a lawyer. As the police entered the premised forcefully, all the cameras turned to click and many people who were broadcasting live could feel the ratings go through the sky. Whatever the gossip magazines had to say, and whatever anyone else would say, anyone who had interacted with Alice Faye knew that she never left any ends unopened. The doctor felt a bit nervous at the sight of the police and gulped before offering am explanation,”Officer. I have already filed a complaint regarding the investigation for the person who has leaked the information on chairwoman Faye. And whatever Mr. James Faye declares as the guardian of Alice Fayenis up to him and within his right..” But the policeman ignored this and turned to James Faye before saying,”Mr. Faye. Mr. Adam Perry has filed a case against you for defamation and wrongfully accessing legal records of his wife.”

Before James Faye could understand a word, the lawyer stepped forward and served a notice to Dr. Phil. “Mr. Phil. Your medical license has been suspended by the National Association for breaking doctor-patient confidentiality. There is also proof that you have tried to mistreat the patient Alice Faye and distorted the medical facts on her case. You are not allowed to see any patients or make any statements to diverge public opinion in your favor until the investigation for both crimes has been completed. You are requested to cooperate with us. Secondly, your insurance agency is also suing you for damaging your property to purposely claim the money so that too will be under investigation.”

After dropping this bomb, the police had then arrested James Faye and Dr. Phil. Samuel Faye could only shale his head at the trouble his fatherbhad created! He told him not to meddle! But then another point struck his head… They said ‘wife’.. That meant that Alice was married! How could this be? He had specially placed a spy by her side and never known that Alice had gotten married!

Before the people on the internet and in the room could gather their thoughts, their screens went blank for a moment. And then suddenly a blurry video came onto the screen. Someone had hacked into the system.. But as people squinted they realized that it was the footage of a cctv camera. And the girl on the screen looked remarkably like a younger version of Alice Faye. She seemed to be reading some sort of a book. The cameras that had been put down suddenly focused on the projector screen behind the stage. This was Alice Faye’s answer, they knew. Checking the date they realized that this was dated in the year 2014! It was a little time before Dr. Phil claimed that Alice used to have hallucinations of meeting a man. And the place was a small airport at Rocky Mountains!

A few minutes later, they saw a lanky man dressed in black pass by the camera and sit a little further away from the view. So that only his shows were visible. And then the video was forwarded a little before they saw Alice Faye get up to leave the lounge and then, the man who had been previously in the screen also appear. And then the two clashed and fell to the floor. And that is when the man’s face became clear! It was K from the boy band SKY! So Alice Faye and K really bad been acquainted to each other! Almost seven years ago! This was breaking news.

And then once again the screen turned blank before am older picture came onto the screen with a young girl and boy sitting in front of a snow structure. It was indeed Alice Faye and Adam Perry! Miss Faye did not have hallucinations but she really had met someone.. Once again the picture changed and this time it was the two of them at the New Year’s Eve. And then once again the screen turned blank..the reporters looked on waiting for more pictures to appear but then the screen remained blank.

Just as they were about to leave, however, the doors tot he conference room opened again and this time Adam Perry walked in. The reporters all jumped up from their seats, and France their necks looking for Alice Faye but I’m the end it was only Adam who had come inside surrounded by bulky bodyguards. Once on the stage he started,”Today’s press conference has been quite unexpected for everyone I guess. Well firstly I would like to apologize to my fans for having hidden the truth for so long. Most of you knew that I had already fallen for someone a while ago but never knew who. The reason for this is that the Alice and I reconnected, Alice had no memory of me. We had met at a time when my only family, my grandmother had passed away. To me, Alice had appeared in my life like an angel that I wanted to cherish however we had been too young to have anything more than that. And before we could met again, Alice had to face the news of her mother’s death and her father subsequent marriage which resulted her in getting into depression. I will kit reveal too much but I would like to satisfy everyone who is concerned about her right to lead the Faye Group. Alice Faye had only ever suffered from depression for which she was prescribed the wrong medicine which resulted in her having blurred her memory from that time only. At this day and age we have all come to accept that depression is real and something that can be cured. So after having provided basic proof, we would request everyone to please render us your support and put people like Dr. Phil who make wrong diagnosis and follow malpractice behind bars. Thank you for your unending support. Goodbye everyone.”

As Adam finished what he had to say and made to leave, however a reported had the presence of mind to ask,”Adam Perry, what gives you the authority to stand here on behalf of Alice Faye and make his announcement? And where is Alice Faye? It is only a matter of depression. What is the use of all this?”

Adam smiled, revealing his cunningness slightly. Ge had actually been waiting for this. “I stand here as her husband. Yes. Alice Faye and I. We are now a married couple. So Inask you all to give us your blessings. And some privacy because we are really newly married. It is why I had to leave my wife alone on our honeymoon to clear the mess here. And my wife is in shock. There is no love lost between James Faye and my wife but she did not expect that her father would collude with a stranger ot declare her mentally unstable. I personally feel she had suffered enough and don’t see the need for her to feel more pain. As her husband, my words should suffice. Don’t you all think so?”

With that Adam Perry walked out of the conference room. Slowly he drove out of the venue, his mind on how to handle the next problem facing him. He really needed to talk to Alice but she had fainted on the way back. As he called the doctor, an idea finally struck him. It would be a bit risky but he was willing to take any risks to keep her by his side. Even if that meant deceiving her and using her own feelings against her.

But Adam could not have predicted that it was these very feelings that Alice feared he would be able to manipulate and that was why she had closed herself to him! His next plan may just result in him actually losing a little more.. or gaining more. No one could guess. And Adam could simply hope that he would not lose all…
