I type frustrated on my keyboard, my mind raising, a headache in the distance but I try to ignore it; also my bleeding heart. Did Sebastian really broke up with me? I mean...We weren't really together so he technically didn't broke up but still. I thought we had something, something more than just...

I sigh, leaning against in my chair, hanging my head back. I hate him. I really hate him!

When he asked me, no more demanded, that we stopped seeing each other I saw red. I was so frustrated with him, with me, with the world, that I simply ran off, leaving Bella behind to deal with them. I still feel kind of guilty but she texted me that it was fine. I asked for a rain check and she agreed. Thank god. At least she's not cutting if off with me too.

Someone knocks on my door, startling me and I look at the clock; I don't have a meeting right now.

"Yes!" I yell and he door opens, revealing my brother's confused face.

"Olivia, what are you doing here?" he asks, his expression full of surprise. Right...Normally I would stay home, sleeping that hangover out but I wanted to be busy so I won't think about a certain person. A certain person I could kill right now.

"Felt like coming to work, hope you don't mind" I shrug, giving him my innocent face but he, of course, sees right through me.

"What's wrong?" he closes the door and makes his way towards my desk, sitting in the opposite chair, taking charge of the air in here. How in the world can he do that? He takes one step in a room full of lions and they all will bow for him like he's their now king. "Hm?" I blink back and remember what he asked but I can't tell him about Sebastian and me. He knows something has been going on between us but he ignores it mostly; as long that we do our work he doesn't mind and I wish our parents were like him. "Sebastian?" I nod and he sighs. "What is he doing now?"

"That's the problem." I reply, leaning my head on the desk. "He didn't do anything." he's quite for a moment and I look up to find him staring at me, but really staring at me. "What?"

"Why are you two still playing that game?" I arch a brow; what game? "You know, that game where you acted like you don't know each other when everyone is around but when you're alone, you two acted like hamsters" I roll my eyes at his explanation. "It's true, don't deny it"

"I'm not denying anything" I shake my head. "But you don't need to worry, me and him are over" this time it's for real and it stings deep inside me, ripping a piece somewhere.

"Maybe it's for the best." he says out of nowhere and I jerk my head in his direction; did he really say that? Usually he would say something like: Hookup with someone else and before you know he's crawling his way back in your bed. Well...That was the old him. Now that he found his happy ending with his wife, he changed. In a good way of course. "You heard me and don't get me wrong, Olivia, I respect you two being together but you need to admit that recently the air between you two isn't so clear anymore" he pauses. "And I'm scared it will interfere with your work and our families. Even I, the head of the El Ricci Family, can't just change the rules between us and the Lavadzza but I can only accept." Stupid rules we have with them if you ask me! Who made it up anyways? "But dad..." he shakes his head. "He won't and you know it. This break up you two have right now is maybe the best."

"I know." I reply, contemplating my next words. "But I don't want to lose him..."

"I know he means a lot to you but sometimes you need to let the people you care about go to protect them; maybe that's what he's doing."
