Once we have the results, we can discuss the next steps and potential treatments to alleviate your symptoms."As Carla left the room to make the necessary arrangements, Dr. Hernandez turned his attention back to me, his compassionate gaze unwavering. "Brielle, in the meantime, I recommend focusing on self-care. Rest as much as you can and ensure you stay hydrated. Small, frequent meals or snacks may also help manage the nausea. Additionally, there are some safe medications we can consider if the symptoms persist and significantly affect your well-being."Feeling a glimmer of hope and guidance, I nodded, appreciating his advice.

I'll refund you as soon as my store becomes fully operational," I expressed my gratitude."You're welcome, Brielle. You don't have to pay me back. Consider it a gesture of humanity, nothing significant," he assured me before ending the call.He didn't give me a chance to respond; I simply smiled and sent him a text message with my account details.A few minutes later, I received a reply from Cullen, informing me that his assistant had already completed the money transfer.

    Sitting on the edge of my bed, I picked up the bottle of lotion, its smooth texture cool against my fingertips. With deliberate care, I squeezed a dollop onto my palm and began to massage it gently onto my skin. The lotion's delicate fragrance enveloped me, leaving a subtle, comforting scent in its wake.As I rubbed the lotion into my skin, my mind involuntarily drifted to thoughts of Drew. Images of his face, his laughter, and the memories we had shared together flashed through my mind. But I quickly shook off those thoughts, reminding myself of the decision I had made. Dwelling on the past would only complicate the situation further, and I needed to stay focused on the path I had chosen.Once I had finished applying the lotion, I placed the bottle back on the dresser and turned my attention to my closet.

    The aroma that had initially filled me with anticipation now lingered as a potent reminder of my body's revolt. I took deep breaths, trying to regain my composure and steady my queasy stomach.The guest toilet, although not the most glamorous of places, provided a refuge in that moment. I rinsed my face with cold water from the sink, hoping to cleanse away the remnants of discomfort and restore some semblance of equilibrium. The sensation of the water on my skin brought a brief respite, soothing the unease that had settled within me.After washing my hands and splashing water on my face once more, I cleared the sink of any traces of my ordeal.

"This should help you feel much better.""I hope so," I replied, letting out a playful giggle."It will, trust me," she reassured me, her warmth radiating through her words.I nodded in agreement, bringing the glass of orange juice to my lips and taking a sip.

    He informed me that he had arrived and was patiently waiting outside.With a sense of relief, I rose from the cozy confines of the lounge and headed toward the exit. Getting in, I Informed Cullen's driver that I would prefer to return directly to the mansion. I explained that I wasn't feeling up to venturing out further that day. Then I settled into the backseat of the car, appreciating the comfort it offered."Of course, ma'am," he agreed, understanding my preference.

    Lying there, I stared blankly at the ceiling, lost in a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. I felt utterly helpless, grappling with the reality that the person I had truly fallen in love with might be slipping away from me, and there seemed to be nothing I could do to prevent it. The future appeared uncertain, would I face it alone or I'd have Drew with me? I didn't have answers to these questions..Tears threatened to spill from my eyes, an overwhelming surge of pain threatening to consume me. However, I resisted the urge to cry, knowing deep down that shedding tears wouldn't solve anything. It would only serve to amplify the anguish that had already taken root within my heart. Exhausted by the emotional turmoil, I found myself succumbing to the weariness, gradually dozing off into a fitful sleep.It was the gentle knock on my door that abruptly pulled me from the depths of slumber. Startled, I rubbed my eyes and blinked away the remnants of sleep, struggling to comprehend the

    "I know, I know it's not. But that's the least I could do to make it easier for you." Cullen said."Fine, alright then. For the safety of my son I'd do it." Drew said finally."Thank you, thank you so much." I said to Drew.Drew smiled."It's alright Brielle," Drew said."One more thing Drew," Cullen said."Oh come on cousin, what's it this time?" Drew asked, getting pissed at Cullen."C'mon relax," Cullen said, laughing."Okay I'm relaxed, what's it?" Drew "I'd have to will some of my Properties to your son," Cullen said "What? I don't get it" Drew said."I don't have an heir, I'm sterile Drew. You're the closest to a brother to me, your son is as well mine. Can't let the whole inheritance go to charity when there's someone who would have better use for it." Cullen said."This is too much Cullen, are you sure about this?"Drew asked, still uncertain about the complexity of the whole situation."I've thought about it thoroughly Drew, and that's my final decision.

    We fell asleep on the couch, and it was the gentle rays of sunlight streaming through the living room window that roused me from my deep slumber. Drew was still peacefully asleep, and as I gazed at him, I admired his handsome features. At that moment, I felt blessed to have him in my life, knowing that he had chosen to be with me despite my past mistakes.Careful not to disturb his rest, I quietly got up from the couch and made my way to the bathroom to take a refreshing shower.

His breath, hot and steamy, caressed my skin as he spoke playfully, "Having a bath without me?"I couldn't help but giggle at his playful comment and turned around to face him. "Not at all," I replied, standing on my toes to kiss him tenderly.In the cocoon of the warm, cascading water, Drew and I explored each other'

    "It's been a while Drew.." I said, raising my head to look up at him."What has been a while Brielle?" Drew asked, looking down."That we made out…" I said, my voice seductive as ever."So what are you suggesting..?" Drew asked, his tone sultry."What am I suggesting..?" I asked, my voice seductive as I went down on my knees and unzipped his trousers."Brielle…" he said, moaning. I moved my hand up and down continuously, before placing my mouth at the tip and then deep throating him slowly…He moaned my name, I continued.. this time faster. "Damn it Brielle," Drew said as my head game became more intense, he couldn't hold himself anymore, he pulled my head back and released in my mouth.I opened my mouth wide.. smiling seductively as he came all over my mouth.I rubbed his cum over my face and dived back into his dick, sucking him harder.This time around, he couldn't control himself, he lifted me up and carried me to the bedroom.

    My heart pounded in my chest as I waited for Drew to answer the door. Every second felt like an eternity, and I tried to steady my nerves.Finally, the door opened, and there stood Drew, looking both surprised and delighted to see me."Brielle?" he exclaimed, a mix of confusion and excitement in his eyes.

The familiarity of the place added to the intensity of the moment."I didn't expect to see you today," he said, his eyes searching mine for answers."I know, and I'm sorry for showing up unannounced, but there's something important we need to discuss," I said, trying to find the right words to convey my f

    "Carla, do you know if Cullen's mum stepped out?" I asked."Oh yes, she did a while ago. Hope no problem?" Carla inquired."Not at all, I just get tired of her talks most of the time, so I don't want to bump into her on my way out this evening," I said with a slight chuckle.Carla laughed too, understanding my sentiment. "I understand, ma'am. You're going out this evening?" she asked."Uh, yes. Why do you ask?" I replied, slightly curious."You actually need to pump for the baby; he finished his bottles earlier this afternoon," Carla informed me."Oh, alright. I'll do that before leaving," I said, reminding myself to take care of it."Okay, ma'am. Call if you need anything," Carla said politely before leaving the room.I finished styling my hair and took one last glance in the mirror, making sure everything looked perfect. With my hair styled, I felt a bit more confident about facing Drew. It was just my outfit that was left, I planned on doing that while I was done pumping for my ba

    I placed my son gently back into his crib, making sure he was comfortable, and quietly left the nursery. I wanted to avoid any unnecessary conversations with Cullen's mother, especially when I had so much on my mind.As I entered my room and dropped my bag on the bed, my phone suddenly began to ring. I glanced at the caller ID and was shocked to see Ignacio's name displayed."What does he want now?" I muttered to myself as I answered the call."Hello?" I said, trying to sound composed."Hi Brielle," Ignacio's voice came through the line."What do you want, Ignacio?" I asked, irritation evident in my voice."I just want to understand why you chose a contract marriage instead of giving our marriage another chance," Ignacio said.I scoffed at his question, "You got the money you wanted, right? So please stop calling me," I retorted and promptly hung up.Annoyed by his persistence, I tossed my phone onto the bed and decided to take a shower to calm my nerves. As I stood under the soothin

    I hesitated for a moment, still lost in thought. Then, I looked up at the waiter and said, "I'll have the same, thank you.""Great choice," Cullen said, giving me a playful wink.As the waiter left to place our orders, I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves."I'm really nervous about talking to Drew," I admitted, finally breaking the silence."I understand, Brielle. It won't be easy, but it's important to be honest with him," Cullen said, his voice reassuring."I know, I just don't want to hurt him any more than I already have," I said, my voice tinged with guilt."You didn't plan for any of this to happen," Cullen said. "And I truly believe Drew will understand that. Just be open and honest with him, like you were with me.""I hope you're right," I said, feeling a mix of anxiety and hope.Although I had planned for it, the only unexpected thing I didn't plan for was falling in love with Drew."I've known Drew for a long time, he's my cousin and I've seen how he cares about th

    "So, you said you told Drew something about me?" Cullen asked, his eyes searching mine for answers."Yes… I uhm.. I didn't tell him about Ignacio yet. See, the thing is, I really love Drew, and I don't want to lose him. I didn't know how he'd react if he knew I was married to Ignacio and still agreed to get married to you on a contract," I admitted, my voice tinged with apprehension."Hmm.. So what did you tell him?" Cullen inquired, his curiosity piqued."Well.. I kind of said you forced me into the contract marriage," I confessed.Cullen couldn't help but chuckle lightly, "Really, Brielle? Wow.. that's nice," he said with a hint of sarcasm."It's not what you think, Cullen. I just had to say something to protect both of us. And now he wants to confront you, but I couldn't let that happen because we haven't spoken yet. I needed you to understand the situation I was in when I said what I said about you," I explained earnestly."Listen, Brielle, I know my cousin. He's not a monster, an

    Just as we were deep in conversation, the front door opened, and Cullen walked in, looking slightly tired from a long day at work. His face lit up with surprise when he saw his mum sitting in the living room."Mum! What are you doing here?" Cullen asked, a mix of delight and curiosity in his voice.His mum beamed at him, "I thought I'd come for a surprise visit and spend some time with you and Brielle. I hope you don't mind, dear?"Cullen shook his head, a smile spreading across his face. "Of course not, Mum! It's great to see you."They shared a warm embrace, and I was glad to witness the bond between mother and son."I was just having tea with Brielle and catching up," his mum said, looking at me fondly.Cullen turned to me, "Did you know about this surprise visit?"I shrugged playfully, "Your mum kept it a secret from me too."Cullen chuckled and shook his head, "Well, I'm glad you're here, Mum."His mum patted his cheek affectionately, "I couldn't resist seeing my grandson .
