Chapter 171

• Ellis arrived at the building chosen by Vittorio for the signing of the divorce papers. As she ascended to the penthouse, she reflected on the time that had passed since the last time she saw Vittorio, two months ago. Her gaze fell on the solitary black diamond on her finger, and she wondered how he was coping with it all.
• The elevator doors opened, and Ellis walked up to the reception desk, where she was promptly directed where to go. With determined steps, she entered the conference room and found Vittorio there, watching her through the glass. A contradictory feeling of love and sadness filled her heart as she saw him again.
• Sitting across from him, Ellis prepared herself to face the legal process that would seal the end of their marriage. The couple's lawyers discussed the details of the divorce, making some adjustments to the agreement. However, both seemed distant, ignoring the words exchanged by the lawyers, as their gazes met, lost in thoughts about how everything had culminated to that moment.
