He Destroyed My Life Yet I Craved Him Chapter 15
FAMILIAR QUESTIONSBrielle“We’ve met before, haven’t we?”Every muscle in my body locked.For a split second, my mind completely emptied. The years of training came back into place.I frowned, looking confused. “Me?”Marcello stared. “No,” he said dryly. “The person standing behind you.”I blinked.His expression remained completely unamused. I looked over my shoulder again, The hallway was empty.When I turned back, Marcello was already walking away. “You coming?”For one glorious moment, I considered saying no. Unfortunately, I wasn’t stupid.Running away would only make me look suspicious and I'd rather not get lost in this house.The corridor stretched ahead of us and neither spoke for a while.Fine by me.If I never had another conversation with Marcello Hayes again, I could die happy.Or at least happier.The silence lasted almost three minutes.Then, “How long have you worked for Mario Incorporated?”There it was. I knew it.Resisting the urge to roll my eyes, “Not very long.”

RECOGNITIONBrielleThe De Ville estate was ridiculous.That was the first thought that entered my mind as the gates slowly opened.The second was that whoever designed the place had clearly never heard the phrase too much.Walls made of stone stretched across the land, and perfectly maintained gardens and fountains sat between rows of trimmed hedges.And somewhere in the distance, I wasn't sure if I saw horses.Carissa laughed softly as I stared through the car window.“You should’ve seen your face.”I looked away from the estate to her. “How big is this place?” I asked, genuinely interested.“Honestly? I stopped counting years ago.”The closer we got, the larger it seemed. It wasn’t a mansion, calling it a mansion felt insulting.This looked like something that belonged in history books.Old stone, tall windows, and other Victorian-era features. The kind of home built by people who never worried about money.Ever.The driver parked near the entrance. Before I could properly process

Unwanted FriendshipBrielleThe next morning, I spent ten full minutes staring at the temporary reassignment form before finally accepting that it wasn’t a joke.Unfortunately.By eight-thirty, I was standing outside one of the guest suites on the upper floor.Not carrying a mop or hauling trash bags through basement corridors.Apparently, I had been re-promoted to whatever this was.A member of staff hurried past me carrying garment bags.Another rolled a rack of dresses toward one of the suites.The entire floor looked more like a luxury hotel than a corporate building.I checked the room number again to be sure, Still correct? Great.A woman stepped out of the suite.“Miss Atwick?”“Yes.” I nodded.“Perfect. Miss De Ville is inside.” she disappeared before I could ask any questions. I stood there for a second. Then knocked.“Come in.” a sing-songy voice echoed from inside.I pushed the door open and holy, the suite was enormous. From where I stood, I could see the sitting area occu

REQUESTEDBrielleThomas had insisted on a video call rather than an in-person meeting.Probably because flying me back and forth across countries every time he wanted an update would bankrupt the department.He looked annoyed at the online meeting.That wasn’t unusual.The man spent most of his life looking annoyed that he had a permanent crease on his forehead.Still, the second I logged in, I knew this wasn’t going to be a pleasant meeting.He didn’t offer me a greeting and that was never a good sign.Instead, he held up a thin file, dropped it onto his desk and folded his arms.“Do you enjoy attracting attention?”I blinked. “Good morning to you too,” I said, with a wavering smile.His expression didn’t change.“That wasn’t an answer, Arwen.”I sighed.“No.”He opened the file.“Because according to reports I've been getting, you’ve managed to fall into an executive meeting, get reassigned, and become the subject of multiple complaints in less than two weeks, and there's a case of

THE INVITATIONBrielleBy seven o’clock, the reception hall was packed.The kind of pack that made my feet hurt just looking at it.Guests filled every corner of the room. Expensive suits. Designer dresses. Conversations floated through the air alongside soft music and the sound of champagne glasses.I moved between tables carrying a tray of empty glasses.At the centre of it all stood Marcello Hayes. Even in a crowded room, he was impossible to miss with his height.I looked away before my brain could start analysing him again.There were more important things to focus on.Like the De Villes. Mr and Mrs De Ville had separated shortly after arriving.Arlo was currently speaking with a group of men near the stage while Lorna stood with several women I recognised from society magazines.And Carissa…Carissa was surrounded by people, which wasn’t surprising.She seemed to attract attention without trying.I was collecting abandoned glasses from a nearby table when movement caught my eye.

THE PIECES CLICKEDBrielleThe executive floor looked nothing like it had a week ago. People were everywhere.Secretaries or people I assumed were secretaries hurried down hallways carrying folders.Security moved in groups. Fresh flowers lined several reception areas, even though the previous ones were still fresh.Even the cleaning staff had doubled.Apparently, rich people couldn’t attend an event unless every surface sparkled.I pushed my cart down the corridor and watched the chaos happen, nobody paid attention to me. Which was exactly how I liked it.Being invisible had advantages, people talked freely around invisible people.“Did you hear who’s coming?”“Everyone knows who’s coming.”I slowed slightly while wiping down a glass partition.“The De Villes.”A woman lowered her voice.“My boss has been losing sleep all week.”“Only your boss?”The other employee laughed.“The entire executive team looks terrified.”Their voices faded as they disappeared around a corner.I continue
