I leave the dining hall in a hurry, not sparing even a glance in his direction.
Anything that doesn't involve firing Alessandra. He refuses to leave her even when that woman poses a threat to his reputation, something the values more than his life.

That's how much he's in love with her.
He'd rather fuck up his image then leave her.

Tears start streaming down my face and before i even realize it, im bawling my eyes out on the bathroom floor.

He was everything I'd ever wanted. I'd loved this man since i was fucking 8. Since that day, he's changed so much, i wonder if he even recognizes himself anymore.

Where did that old Levi go? The one who I fell for?

I kept bawling my eyes out till my tears dried up, my heart now numb to the pain.

He hates me? He doesn't want me? It's a marriage of convenience? Fine. Two can play this game. I refuse to cry over someone who doesn't give a damn about me.

No one makes Lydia Quinn Vititello cry.

I wash my face and rush downstairs to find the demon lord sitting on the sofa typing away on his laptop.
"Vititello"
"Hm?" he says without looking up from the screen.
"I'd like to get my position of CEO back at Luxe Corp"

Luxe Corporation is a huge conglomerate that deals majorly in real estate. It was started by my grandfather and gradually expanded by my father. I came into the position of CEO at just 19 years of age and remained in that position for 5 years. The company skyrocketed and became a multi national conglomerate. I left because why the fuck not, and sinxe then, it has been under the Vititello group.

Demon lord looks up fron his laptop with interest and asks, "you sure?"
"yes"
"aren't you the one who quote on quote wanted to 'fuck this shitty ass office work and enjoy my youth'" I cringe at my own words, surprised that he still remembers them.
"Yes, I've thought this through and i would be very happy to return to the shitty ass office work."
I spot a ghost smile on his face, "Okay" he readjusts his tee "Be ready to get back to the position this Saturday. The party for you returning to your position will be on Monday. Email me the guest list."
I nod and leave the room while he goes back to working on his laptop.
Perfect. I am now a step closer to finally getting the freedom I deserve, or atleast I think I am.

The rest of the week passes in a daze. The board summoned Vititello where he somehow convinced them to not hold press and that we actually are a 'loving couple', Not to mention that he got spotted buying red roses for his wife. Everything was going according to plan.
Except the fact that Alessandra was never spotted with a man other than Vititello. I assumed it'd happen but frankly, I don't care anymore. Or atleast, I try not to.

I focused on finding myself suitable outfits for both the events and practicing lots of self care.

Saturday finally arrived and after a long while, I was really excited.
And nervous.
To be honest, I was a whirlwind of emotions. But one thing was for sure, I was really really really really happy to finally get back.

I wore a black blazer dress with stilletos and black see through stockings and kept my hair open. I went ahead and applied some light mascara and my signature bold red lipstick. I also grabbed my favourite black YSL handbag.
