“Lizzy and Brielle, meet my son, Mateo Caldwell” Davis said proudly “Unfortunately he's late as he didn't seem to honour my wishes to arrive on time” he quickly glared at Mateo “Im sorry father, I was caught up with work and traffic, at least I'm here now” He said as he sat do “It's very nice to meet you, you look so much like your father” Mom said And she was right, there was a striking resemblance between Mateo and his father, the shiny black hair, the strong jawline, and similar facial features. “It's a pleasure meeting you and….” his attention turned to me “Brielle, my name is Brielle” I quickly said before he gave away the fact that we knew each other My best friend is going to have a field day when I tell her about everything that's happened. “Brielle, nice to meet you” my name rolled off his tongue slowly and it instantly irritated me, I had no appetite for dinner again. I was so annoyed that I was going to get up and go outside but my mom told me that it was rude to get up from the dining table without eating and I had promised my mom that nothing would go wrong today and I was going to make sure to keep that promise. ******* Fortunately, dinner went well without any drama, we all talked and I avoided looking at Mateo the entire time, although I did catch him stealing a few glances at me. After a few hours of catching up, I decided to go outside to the patio to clear my head I thought I was alone until I could feel a presence right behind me, a very tall presence and I instantly knew who it was I turned around slowly and I finally brought myself to stare at him directly, that's when I realised just how tall he was. Despite me wearing a six inch heel as a tall girl, I still had to look up before I was finally able to look at his eyes. Those eyes, the same eyes that tortured me, the same eyes I looked at with tears in my eyes, the memories of over eight years ago flooded in my mind, I thought I had forgotten all about them, I thought I was better and would finally be able to live my life without dreading about those terrible days. Yet here I was, just one look into his eyes and I was falling apart. I had to look away from his eyes before I actually cried in front of him. “What do you want?” I finally spoke after minutes of staring at each other, my voice cracked. “It's really good to see you after all these years, Brielle” He said, I could see the sincerity in his eyes Why was he acting like we were friends? “Well it's not nice to see you” I said still not turning to face him “I know we were not the best of friends but i'm still glad you're here” He said My head ticked. I turned to face him. “Listen, don't think we're friends just because my moms engaged to your dad, we are still and always will be high school enemies and don't even think about telling my mom that we knew each other, don't even dare” I threatened him and walked off before I would say something worse. Honestly I felt cursed by the universe for making my mom have to go meet his dad of all people. ********* “Wait no way, is this a joke?” Ryan asked She was still finding it hard to believe everything I just told her She grabbed her phone and was searching for something before popping it in my face. “You mean this Caldwell? Your mom is engaged to the billionaire Davis” She stated She showed me the Forbes website where there was a picture of Davis in the top 30 billionaires in the USA list. “Yes Ryan” I said “Oh my freaking gosh. Your stepfather is a billionaire, you're about to make bank” She screamed jumping excitedly “You do know I don't care about the fact that he's wealthy right?” I mean it was good that he was rich, no doubt about that. My family were not billionaires, but at least we had a pretty decent livelihood. My mom had a business of her own and she had always provided everything I ever wanted,she raised me single handedly and we could afford the things we wanted. We bought designer things: perfumes, clothes, shoes. All I cared about was my mothers happiness, I just hoped she was making the right choice by getting married to him. “Don't worry Brielle, your mother is making the right choice, i'm not just saying it because he's rich. Your mom is an adult and she knows exactly what she wants, you have to trust her” Ryan said “I'm not worried about my mom, it's the family she's marrying into im worried about, davis son” I said “Why are you worried about his son? You already met him? Is he hot?” “His son is Mateo, Mateo caldwell, my ex bully” “Mateo? OMG” She said when the memory sinks in “The same mateo who caused me to go see a therapist for years” I said Ryan was my friend from college, she knew about how I struggled with confidence, social anxiety and so many other things that I had to go see a therapist, she was there with me through every step of the way. She is and will always be my best friend. “I'm so sorry” she hugged me when she was on the verge of tears. I stayed in her embrace for a few minutes before disengaging. “What are you going to do? Have you told your mom about it? Surely she wasn't happy about it” “I didn't. We both acted like we've never met before” “Is that the right decision to make?” “I don't know. I just don't want my mom finding out that he bullied me. She's about to get married into his family” “If you think that's right, I support you” “Thank you, enough talk about Mateo, tell me about you. How is Terry?” Terry is Ryan's fiance. They live together “Oh he's good, he's starting to talk about the wedding” She said, smiling. “Yes finally, i can't wait to be a bridesmaid” “I told him to hold on, there's no rush, we could do it next year” “No way you said that, are you crazy, My phone beeped, a notification entered. I read the message and I screamed excitedly “No. Freaking. Way”

BRIELLE POVI got up and walked to Mateos office. I knocked on his door and opened the door.His office was empty, I guess he hasn’t resumed work for the day.I was just about to sit on the couch when the door opened and he walked in“Hey, good morning” I said“What are you doing here?” He asked walking to his seatSuch an asshole.“You could have at least responded to my greetings” I said rolling my eyes at him“How about we proceed to why you’re here?” He asked“Well I brought evidence that something fishy happened with my project” I dropped my laptop on his table and showed him the video of the cctv footage “And what does this prove?” he asked nonchalantly, barely watching the footage“How about you look closer and pay attention to the time frames?” I askedHe looked angry and was sounding impatient, it was getting on my last nerves. All I wanted to do was clear my name.His eyes widened when he saw the time frame cut.“You’re right, someone messed with the cctv footage” he said“

BRIELLE POVI got home two hours ago and I haven’t been able to move one inch from my bed.The actions that took place today kept replaying in my head, how did that happen all of a sudden? Or was it a genuine technical error? A video can't just be deleted from my laptop due to an issue.Did someone really do it and How do I find out who did this?Could it really be Olivia? She wouldn’t stope so low, would she?I don't want to accuse her without evidence, it could be any other personI remember the disappointed and angry look in Mateo’s eyes and the shiver I felt in my body.I had never seen him so upset, and I want to fix this.I thought things were getting normal between us, I haven't even been upset with him like I was before.But yet it took just one little mistake and everything go spiraling down He couldn’t even look at me, couldn’t he have at least given me the benefit of the doubt? That just shows how he doesnt trust me at allHe knows I’ll never do something as terrible as t

BRIELLE POVThe cup fell on the floor and broke into pieces, everyone in the kitchen and nearby heard the noise and turned to me.I looked up and saw it was Olivia who had bumped into me.I was beginning to wonder where she was, I hadn’t seen her in a week.“Oh my goodness, I am so sorry” she said as she attempted to pick up the big pieces of glass from the ground.She signals the office cleaner who comes to clean up the mess“I’m sorry for bumping into you, I didn’t see you there” Olivia said, I could see a hidden smirk behind her apology.Right, as if I didn’t have enough drama going on in my life already.“As long as it was a mistake, it doesn’t matter” I said, I was sure it certainly wasn't a mistake.“What if it wasn’t?” She asked, smirking “I expected nothing less of you” I smiled.She grits her teethI planned to make another cup of coffee but decided against it. I was about to walk past Olivia to my office when she stopped me.“So you think you’re all that huh?” She asked, rh

BRIELLE POVI rose from the water and saw Mateo standing there staring at me“What the fuck? You scared me” I screamed“Do I look scary?” He asked standing there in a black shirt and casual shorts“Why were you sneaking around the house, I thought it was a robber” I said“And you kept swimming?” he asked, raising his eyebrow.“Yeah do you expect me to take a gun and go run after the robber?” I asked, deadpan.I heard him chuckle. I then realized this was the first time we were having a conversation without actually saying mean words to each other.“What are you even doing here? I was promised your absence in this house” I crossed my hands on my chest“Lizzy called me to come make sure the special guest of honor was comfortable in the house and I can see you've already gotten suited in” he said sarcasticallyMy mother was such a snitch sometimes.“Well now you've done your check in, you can leave” I said as I was about to go back to my swimming.I suddenly became aware of the way he wa

BRIELLE POVThe next morning, after I finished checking my bags to see if I had everything packed.I got dressed and put on a comfy outfit: grey flared joggers and a white short sleeve crop top, packing my hair in a slick ponytail.I opened my laptop as I was eating breakfast and checked my emails and I saw some big news.A huge beauty brand emailed me that they were interested in working with me. I replied to their email and they responded that they were willing to pay any rates and would send me products every month.I guess posting quality videos does have an advantage, I was about to start making money just from posting faceless aesthetic videos on social media.Ryan would be so happy for me as she was my number one fan and the only person who knew about my secret accounts.After eating breakfast and making sure the house was in order I took my bags and drove to Davis mansion.On arriving at the house, the butler informed me that they had left for their honeymoon very early in th

BRIELLE POVHearing Mom ask me to go dance with Mateo was beyond unexpected.I declined but no one could ever win an argument against my mom.His hands on my waist, warm and steady and I feel a subtle pull as he draws me closer. The music swirls around us, but all I can hear is the fast thrum of my heartbeat. His touch is light but grounding, sending a quiet shiver through me as I let my arms slide up to rest on his shoulders.We start to move together, our steps falling into a natural rhythm, and I can feel the tension and ease in the way his body leans into mine.I have to remind myself not to stiffen, not to pull away. I hate that he’s always so confident, always so sure of himself, like the world bends to his will. And yet here I am, letting him guide me, swaying to the rhythm of the music like I don’t have a choice.His breath grazes my ear as he speaks softly-words I barely caught on, and I ignore the way my heart trips over itself. I glance up at him, catching the way his eyes
