Chapter 1

Brielle“The boss is waiting you,” My colleague, Adrian tells me as soon as I come through the front door.“Shit!” I curse low under my breath, brushing my hair out of my face as I cast a look down my clothes, realizing that it was rumpled.“How long has he been waiting?” I asked as I tried my best to straighten it out.This is what fighting with Alesia gets me…fifteen minutes late, looking like I just came out of a fight with a wild animal.“Not long,” Adrian glanced at me. “Oh, you've got…um, a piece of fruit on your jacket.”My eyes widened as I hastily brushed it off, letting out a slew of curses. “Thanks!”When I got the email that my boss, Thomas Harrison, Head of Harrison Security, wanted to see me first thing this morning, I instantly jumped to the worst conclusion.Was he going to fire or demote me?I've been a stellar employee since I started working here two years ago and I tried my best not to go out of line.I hoped that he wasn't trying to fire me though. This was the on

8 years ago (When Brielle was 18 years old)BrielleI hate my birthday presents, was all I could think about as my parents sang a ‘Happy Birthday’ rendition in an offkey tone in front of the fireplace, wearing ugly Christmas sweaters.It was against the rules to unwrap your birthday present before everyone else but I had been hoping they got the new gadget that was trending around my peers.Sadly, all I got was this fancy cashmere sweater, a $100 gift card and a hand-knitted shawl that smelled of lavender.Being born in a holiday period wasn't so exciting as everyone tends to gloss over your birthday in favour of the festivities but not my parents.If anything, they went out of their way to make it extra special and every birthday a memorable one.“And we love you, Brieeellllleeee…” My mom stretched out the last part of the song, smiling widely at me. “Happy birthday to you…”“Quick! Blow out your cake and make a wish!” My dad prompted, pushing the cake closer to my face.In hindsight

Two years after The AttackBrielleI turn 20 today.And while it's good because in some countries I'm considered an adult and free to do what I like, I feel sad and miserable today because the only thing I would want to do is spend today with my parents but unfortunately, I can't.Because I'm with Marcello Hayes, the man that murdered my parents in cold blood.Actually, I'm lying in bed next to him. I've been awake for the past hour, staring at the sun rising in the distance as I shed tears, wondering how my life dwindled down to… this.Living for one man's purpose and nothing else.As if to drive that point home, Marcello stirred in the bed, turning around to face me as his full lashes fluttered open.His eyes darkened when he saw that I was already awake, with a thin white sheet covering my bosom. “You're awake.”I sniffed, blinking rapidly. “Yeah, I couldn't sleep…”“Why?” He murmured, that deep voice touching parts of me that I wanted to ignore.I starred at his face, that gorgeou

Present Day…Brielle“Here's your badge, Miss Atwick. Do you have your schedule?” The cleaning manager, Carlo Rossi asked me, handing over a badge that displayed my ID and granted me access throughout the building of Mario's Inc headquarters.It's the largest building I've seen in Italy and that's saying a lot considering the sizes of building around here.“Yeah, I do.” I smiled, pulling out a paper that contained a detailed layout of the building and the areas that I was supposed to clean.After the initial shock of seeing Marcello's face on the brief, I decided to go through with the mission and treat it like any other one.Since it was decided that an undercover op was needed, I decided to go through the cleaning section, hoping that I can hear or see things that would give me insight to what kind of illegal operations Marcello is running.I've learned that the best way to find out something is by being a fly on the wall. If you train yourself to become invisible, people around wil
