I descended the grand staircase, my steps light but filled with a sense of anticipation. As I entered the dining area, a room that exuded opulence and refinement, a sight unfolded before me that took my breath away. Carla, with her impeccable attention to detail, had meticulously prepared a breakfast table.The table itself had always been a masterpiece, crafted from the finest mahogany, its polished surface reflecting the ambient glow of the crystal chandelier suspended above. The dining chairs, upholstered in plush velvet, beckoned me to take a seat, offering a luxurious embrace. Delicate porcelain plates adorned with intricate golden patterns were carefully arranged in symmetrical precision, each one meticulously polished to perfection. The weight of the silverware in my hand hinted at its exceptional quality, the gleam of sterling silver casting a radiant shimmer.The centerpiece of the table demanded attention—a lavish floral arrangement, a riot of colors and scents interwov
Cullen's mother finished her breakfast, her elegant demeanor remaining intact throughout the meal. As the last morsel of food disappeared from her plate, she gently placed her silverware down, indicating the conclusion of the meal. Turning to Carla, she spoke with a tone of authority, "Carla, please prepare a room for me. I will be staying for a while."The weight of her words settled heavily upon me, a sinking feeling enveloping my heart. Although I appreciated her support and understanding, the idea of Cullen's mother staying for an extended period of time did not bring me the comfort that it should have. A sense of unease washed over me, and I felt a knot form in the pit of my stomach.Concealing my discontent behind a facade of politeness, I managed a forced smile. "Of course," I replied, my voice betraying a tinge of disappointment that I hoped went unnoticed.As Carla acknowledged her request and left to make the necessary arrangements, Cullen's mother turned her gaze towar
Dialing his number, I braced myself for the conversation. As the call connected, I spoke with a tone that conveyed my seriousness and determination."Hello, Cullen," I greeted him, my voice steady but tinged with an underlying seriousness."Hi, Brielle. I hope you're fine?" he responded, his voice filled with genuine concern.Taking a moment to gather my thoughts, I replied, my tone softened by a hint of vulnerability."I am fine, thank you," I assured him. "But there's something I need to discuss with you. Your mother... She arrived today and plans to stay with us for a while. Did you know about this?"There was a brief pause on the other end of the line, and I could sense a hint of surprise in his response."No, Brielle, I wasn't aware of her arrival," he admitted, his voice laced with a mix of curiosity and concern. "Is everything alright? What happened?"I took a deep breath, grounding myself before sharing the details of his mother's unexpected presence. I wanted to be honest w
I woke up, only to find myself surrounded by the dimness of evening. "That was quite a lengthy nap," I murmured to myself.A gentle ray of sunlight filtered through the window, casting its warm glow on the edge of my bed. I let out a tired yawn and stretched my body, feeling the need to awaken fully. With a deliberate movement, I shifted myself to the opposite side of the bed.Since becoming pregnant, my visits to the store had become increasingly infrequent. Even though I had a dedicated staff to manage the operations, I still longed to supervise and be present. I had been contemplating a trip there, but with Cullen's mother now staying with us, I questioned the feasibility of such an excursion.I let out a groan as I lay on the bed, feeling a mix of exhaustion and curiosity about the state of affairs at my store. I reached for my phone and dialed the number of my head of staff, eagerly anticipating her response.After a few rings, she finally answered, her voice filled with profe
The refreshing sensation permeated my skin, washing away any lingering fatigue and stress.Reaching for a soft, fluffy towel, I gently patted my face dry, relishing in the comfort it provided. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, observing the faint traces of tiredness that adorned my features. With renewed energy, I reached for a moisturizer, applying it to my skin in slow, circular motions. The delicate scent of the product enveloped my senses, adding a touch of serenity to the moment. I took a few deep breaths, allowing the calming aroma to calm my racing thoughts.As I stood before the mirror, I took a moment to appreciate the reflection staring back at me. Feeling revitalized, I turned off the faucet and left the bathroom.Feeling the need for comfort and relaxation, I decided to change into something more comfortable and make my way downstairs. I knew that waiting for Cullen to return would provide the perfect opportunity to discuss the matters weighing on my mind.
"Yes, Aunty. Cullen is one lucky man," Drew replied, his words tinged with a hint of playfulness.Cullen's mother laughed warmly, sharing in the sentiment. "You can say that again," she said with a light chuckle, creating a moment of ease and camaraderie between the three of us.As they engaged in conversation, I couldn't help but feel a sense of detachment, as if I were an invisible observer in the living room. My heart yearned to speak the unspoken, to express the feelings I had been suppressing for weeks now. However, the presence of Cullen's mother created an invisible barrier, making it difficult for me to confront the truth and acknowledge my emotions.Their conversation continued for a little while before Cullen's mother excused herself, making her way back to the kitchen to check on the meal Carla was preparing. It was a momentary reprieve, allowing me to finally confide in Drew about the challenges that lay ahead."That was close, Drew," I whispered, my voice barely above
Laughter filled the room as we relished the sweet conclusion to our meal.Cullen's mum expressed her gratitude to Drew for his presence and the enjoyable evening we had shared."I'm glad you could join us tonight Drew. It means a lot to have you here, I miss the old times" she said, her eyes filled with genuine appreciation.Drew smiled, feeling a sense of belonging in this moment. Drew expressed his gratitude for the warm hospitality.As we finished our meal, we lingered at the table, engaging in casual conversation and savoring the company. It didn't seem like a bad idea altogether having Cullen's mum around. We heard the grand doors of the mansion swing open, followed by the distinct sound of footsteps echoing through the hallway. It didn't take long for us to recognize the familiar male voice that accompanied the approaching steps."Hello everyone, sorry I'm late for dinner," Cullen announced as he made his way to the dining table, taking a seat opposite Drew."We understand,"
A moan escaped my lips, the sensations coursing through my body as I surrendered to the pleasure of his touch. The room filled with an intoxicating mix of passion and anticipation as he slid his hand behind my top, skillfully unhooking my bra. With a swift motion, he flung it across the room, the air charged with a sense of urgency.His lips found their way under my top, and the heat between us intensified as he took my nipples into his mouth, his tongue teasing and exploring with a skilled touch. Every movement was filled with desire, each sensation sending waves of pleasure through me.The room became a sanctuary of shared ecstasy as his other hand cupped my breast, his fingers expertly stimulating my sensitive nipples. The sensations were electrifying, leaving me yearning for more as my moans grew louder, echoing the depth of pleasure that consumed us both.I allowed myself to be swept away by the intoxicating moment, our bodies entangled in a dance of desire and longing. 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. After the hearing yo
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. The warm water cascaded down my body, enveloping me in a soothing embrace.Suddenly, I felt Drew's presence behind me as he wrapped his arms around my waist, drawing me close to his firm body. 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. He undressed me immediately and sucked my breasts a
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. "What are you doing here?""Hey, Drew," I replied, trying to sound calm despite the storm of emotions inside me."What are you doing here?" he asked, stepping aside to let me in."I needed to talk to you," I said, stepping into his home.Drew closed the door behind me, uncertainty hanging in the air.As I entered his apartment, memories of the time we spent together flooded my mind. 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 .
