The Secret Wife Chapter 150
Did he notice the subtle tension between Drew and me? Or was it all in my head?"So, Brielle, how did you and Cullen meet?" Evie asked again, breaking the momentary silence.I thought we were actually past this but it seemed Evie was determined to know so i decided to play along.Cullen paused mid-bite, his eyes meeting mine with a hint of anticipation. He was clearly interested in how I would respond."Well, it's quite a funny story, actually," I began, choosing my words carefully. "We met through mutual friends at a charity event. There was an instant connection, and we hit it off from there."Drew glanced at me, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. "And what was your first impression of each other?"Cullen chimed in before I could respond. "Oh, Brielle here thought I was just another arrogant billionaire. But little did she know, I had a few surprises up my sleeve."I smiled, playing along with Cullen's narrative. "Yes, he definitely had a way of breaking down my initial assumption

I entered my room, closing the door behind me with a sigh of mixed emotions. The air in the room felt heavy with the weight of unspoken words and unresolved feelings. I couldn't help but question the dynamic between Cullen and me.Was he avoiding me because he feared the possibility of falling in love? Or was there something else at play, something I couldn't quite grasp? The thought of his reluctance to face whatever was brewing between us only added to the complexity of my already tangled web of relationships.Ignacio, my Spanish husband, occupied a significant place in my life, and Drew had unknowingly captured my heart in ways I never expected. Adding Cullen to the mix would only complicate matters further. I needed to tread carefully, contemplating the consequences of every step I took.As I stood there, deep in thought, the familiar voice of Cullen's mother echoed in the hallway. "Is everything okay, dear? Where's Cullen? I thought you both went out together?" she asked, he

"It's for a period of one year," I answered. "I know it seems like a long time, but it's necessary for the growth of my business. Once the contract is fulfilled, I'll be able to make arrangements to return to Spain."Ignacio let out a deep sigh on the other end of the line. "One year is a considerable amount of time, Brielle. I miss having you by my side," he confessed, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness.I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt as his words resonated within me. "I miss you too, Ignacio," I replied softly, just enough to make him buy it. "But this opportunity is crucial for my career, and I hope you can support me in pursuing it."There was a brief silence as Ignacio processed my words. "Brielle, I've always supported your dreams and ambitions," he finally said, his voice filled with sincerity. "If this is what you truly want, then I will stand by you. Just promise me that we'll find a way to make it work despite the distance."His understanding and support touc

"Cullen, I…" I struggled to find the right words, torn between the love I had for Drew and the unexpected emotions that had bloomed between Cullen and me.He gently reached out and took my hands in his, his touch warm and comforting. "I don't expect you to have an answer right away, Brielle," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "But I need you to know how I feel, how much you mean to me."I looked into his eyes, seeing the depth of his emotions reflected back at me. It was a moment of profound vulnerability and connection."Cullen, I…" I began, my voice wavering with uncertainty.He nodded, his gaze unwavering. "I understand, Brielle," he said softly. "Take all the time you need. Just know that my feelings for you are real, and I'll be here, waiting, no matter what."Cullen said and took his leave..After Cullen's unexpected confession and subsequent departure, I found myself in a whirlwind of emotions. Confusion and longing battled within me, leaving me unsure of how to navig

"Brielle, wait," he pleaded softly, his eyes filled with longing.Confused, I looked at him, unsure of what he was about to do. But before I could react, Cullen closed the distance between us, pulling me into an unexpected kiss. His lips pressed against mine, a mix of passion and vulnerability in the touch.Caught off guard, I instinctively pushed him away, breaking the kiss. My heart raced as I tried to process the sudden intensity of the moment. I took a step back, my eyes meeting his with a mixture of surprise and caution."Cullen, I'm not in the mood for this," I said firmly, my voice trembling slightly. "We need to respect the boundaries and give ourselves the space we both need."Cullen's expression shifted, remorse flickering in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Brielle. I didn't mean to push you or make you uncomfortable. It's just... the emotions overwhelmed me for a moment."Taking a deep breath, I collected myself, searching for the right words to convey my feelings. "I appreciate

As we drove to my fashion store, a whirlwind of thoughts and concerns consumed my mind. I couldn't help but dwell on the predicament I found myself in, pondering over possible ways to navigate the unexpected feelings Cullen harbored for me.With each passing mile, my internal turmoil intensified. I knew I couldn't ignore the situation or let it fester unchecked. I needed to find a solution that would preserve the relationships I cherished and maintain the delicate balance of my life.However, as hard as I wracked my brain, no clear answer emerged. I was at a loss, grappling with the weight of a decision that seemed impossible to make. The uncertainty weighed heavily upon me, casting a shadow over my thoughts.Before I knew it, our car pulled up in front of my fashion store. I sighed, realizing that my respite from the inner turmoil would have to be put on hold for the moment. It was time to step back into the world of business, even if just temporarily, to focus on something famil

"I'll have the penne arrabbiata, please," I ordered, hoping the spicy flavors would add a little excitement to my day."Excellent choice, ma'am. And would you like any drinks or appetizers to accompany your meal?" she inquired.I pondered for a moment before responding, "I'll have a glass of your house fruit wine, no alcohol.. and for starters, I'll try the bruschetta."The waitress nodded and jotted down my order. "Very well, ma'am. Your food will be out shortly. Enjoy your meal," she said before walking away.As I waited for my food, I allowed myself to relax and absorb the pleasant ambiance of the restaurant. The soft glow of warm lighting, combined with the elegant decor, created an inviting space that invited me to unwind.My thoughts drifted back to the predicament I found myself in. Cullen's unexpected feelings for me and the tangled web of emotions it had woven were still fresh in my mind. I wondered how I could navigate this delicate situation without causing further harm o

Just then, the door swung open, revealing a kind-faced elderly man wearing a white lab coat. He appeared to be the doctor in charge of my care. His gentle demeanor and wise eyes exuded a sense of reassurance."How do you feel now?" he asked, his voice calm and soothing.I blinked, still trying to process the situation. "Who are you? And what am I doing here?" I blurted out, my voice laced with confusion and concern.The doctor introduced himself as Dr. Hernandez, my attending physician. He explained that I had fainted at the Italian restaurant, and it was Kate, the compassionate waitress, who had brought me to the hospital.His warm tone and reassuring presence helped alleviate some of my anxiety.I gathered my composure and offered an apology, realizing my outburst had been uncalled for."Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to burst out like that," I stammered, feeling a tinge of embarrassment.Dr. Hernandez smiled kindly, understanding my state of distress. "It's fine. How do you feel

"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 .
