A/N I don't own any of the characters featured in this fan fiction.
Mitchum Huntzberger drove his Bentley through the crowd of paparazzi and into the underground car park of the Huntzberger Publishing group building. There was something wrong he could feel it. Normally there were only a few paparazzi but today there was a swarm, like bees to honey.
He stepped out of the luxurious vehicle and waved to the doorman and made his way over to the stairs. He climbed a few flights and then stopped. He went back down the previous flight and stopped at a newspaper stand. There was one major thing that caught his eye.
Huntzberger Heiress and Colciago Heir end their engagement
A mix of emotions he picked up the newspaper and handed a hundred dollar bill to the cashier, who looked like he was about to cry, and ran to up the remaining 3 flights of stairs. When he reached the top he composed himself and stepped out into the busy corridor. He said hello to a few people but hurried to his office before slamming the door behind him. He pulled the newspaper out from under his arm and sat down at his desk and began to read. Knowing his luck it was probably just more tabloid lies.
Late last night Lori Huntzberger was seen exiting the apartment building where she and fiancé Alessandro Colciago live. The $300,000 tiffany's ring was missing from her finger and she was carrying two large suitcases. She left with two best friends Cally Cross and Jennifer Chen (see page 6 for more information
A short while later Alessandro was seen entering the building only to re-appear an hour later dressed in party wear. When asked to comment on the situation he said;
"Yes, Lori and I have broken up. There was no particular reason for this it just wasn't the right time, place or people we wanted to marry. Thank you"
2 hours later he was spotted kissing an Italian girl at a big party that was taking place in Venice.
Miss Huntzbergers whereabouts are unknown although she was spotted heading towards the private airport where one of the Huntzberger jets are kept.
Mitchum finished reading and leant back in his leather chair. He ran a hand through his greying hair and smiled. It was about time to. Lori was far too good for him and everyone in their circle knew it. He picked up the newspaper and looked at the pictures. The one with Lori leaving the hotel, she didn't look like Lori anymore. She didn't suit brown hair, even he could tell that, and her eyes didn't match her personality. The bright blue eyes used to reflect her vibrant personality but now they were dull and lifeless. Sighing he placed the newspaper into his briefcase and made his way back to his Bentley. Shira was going to cry at the thought of having her 'baby' back, The boys would crack open a bottle of champagne and Paige would go on a celebratory shopping trip while he would just try to get in contact with her.
Half an hour later Mitchum walked through the door to his vast house, having said hello to his youngest on her way to Chilton, he found his wife, Shira, in the parlour along with several DAR members and their husbands. Amongst theses were Emily and Richard Gilmore, Lorelai and Christopher Hayden, Lillian and James Stanton, Portia and Finnegan Rothschild, Katie and Harley Vanderbilt and many more high society parents.
Having seen her husband re-appear after only leaving for work an hour ago she set down her tea on the antique table in front of her.
"Mitchum darling, what are you doing back here? We were just planning the Christmas Eve party next Friday night" She said as she placed her hands in her lap and sat up straight
"I think we might have another guest joining us for that particular event" Mitchum added as he nodded at the men
"Well it's a bit late now Mitchum I mean everything is set in stone. Who Is it?" Shira asked looking at the other women for support who looked at Mitchum with disapproving glances. Mitchum was about to reply but then Shira interrupted.
"It's not anyone from work is it dear? Because you know I like your employees but they aren't exactly what one would call of a social status to be in attendance at such a function" Shira droned. Mitchum loved his wife more than anything and he was so glad she had agreed to marry him all those years ago but she wasn't half a snob but then again so was he.
"No Shira it isn't. It's someone that everyone in this room knows particularly well" Seeing the blank looks upon the guests faces he decided to put them out of their misery.
"It's Lori darling, I have a very good feeling she will be joining the rest of the family again this year" He admitted while taking a seat and asking the maid to bring him a glass of water.
"Oh darling" Shira sighed "Lori hasn't attended any time of party even Christmas with us ever since she met that boy and moved to Italy" Shira said sadly. She glanced over at a picture of Lori just before she left. She used to be the life of the party and the most liked Huntzberger but that Lori was gone and she had been replaced by an average Lori.
"As I was walking to my office this morning a newspaper headline caught my eye" He took the newspaper out of the case and dropped it onto the table for everyone to see. Shira picked it up and flicked through the pages until she found what she was looking for. After a few moments of silent reading she burst into a gleaming smile and ordered the maid to bring her the phone. She glanced up at the bewildered occupants and simply stated;
"Lori and Alessandro have ended their engagement" She uttered the words she had been dreaming about saying and immediately felt as if the world had been lifted off her shoulders. Everyone broke out into smiles and congratulations to the parents who politely thanked them. Anyone who witnesses the scene would have thought a baby had been born not a break up.
