The Secret Wife Chapter 172
I lay in the hospital bed, the weight of my choices and the consequences they bore settled heavily on my shoulders. The room felt suffocating, the walls closing in around me, mirroring the sense of unease and uncertainty that swirled within.Cullen and Ignacio's revelations had shattered the fragile illusion I had meticulously built. The truth, raw and unfiltered, hung in the air, lingering like a bitter taste. I had deceived them both, weaving a web of lies that now threatened to unravel completely.The door creaked open, and I turned my gaze to the figure entering the room. It was Cullen, his face etched with a mix of concern and confusion. He approached cautiously, his steps measured, as if unsure of his place in this shattered reality we now found ourselves in."Brielle," he said softly, his voice carrying a mixture of hurt and longing. "I don't even know where to begin. How could you keep such a monumental secret from me?"I struggled to find the words, my throat dry and my mi

I understood his pain and confusion, and a part of me welcomed the distance between us, for it spared me from witnessing the shattered remnants of our once-promising future.Ignacio's absence, on the other hand, pierced my heart with a different kind of ache. His wounded pride and the depths of betrayal he must have felt were immeasurable. I couldn't blame him for keeping his distance, knowing the magnitude of the deception I had woven into our lives. The guilt consumed me, As I cradled my son in my arms, the weight of my secrets bore down upon me. I knew deep within my soul that the truth couldn't remain buried forever. It was a ticking time bomb, ready to detonate at any moment and wreak havoc on the fragile threads of my existence.I watched my son's innocent face, his tiny fingers grasping mine, and I made a silent promise to protect him at all costs. He deserved a life built on honesty and integrity, free from the tangled web of lies I had spun.Yet, the fear of losing ever

Curiosity once again tinged with caution filled my heart as I gingerly unfolded it and began to read the contents."I hope you get comfortable in these. I didn't feel the need to include a sender's name, as it seemed unnecessary. Despite our current circumstances, remember that we are still bound by the terms of our contract. I will fulfill my duties until we return to New York.Cullen."Reading his words, a whirlwind of conflicting emotions swirled within me. Cullen's message served as a stark reminder of the fragile agreement that had brought us together, the façade we had carefully constructed to serve our own needs. But in the midst of it all, I couldn't deny the genuine concern and sense of responsibility hidden beneath his words. The realization that I had inadvertently dragged him into my tangled web of deceit weighed heavily on my conscience.With a mixture of regret and frustration, I crumpled the note and tossed it into the nearby trash can. I needed to focus on the pres

"Excuse me," I called softly. "I'm here to see my baby."The nurse turned towards me, her smile widening. "Oh, you must be Brielle. Congratulations on your little one. Let me show you where he is."My heart fluttered with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety as she led me to a crib nestled in a cozy corner. There, I saw my son, peacefully sleeping, his tiny chest rising and falling with each breath. I marveled at the beauty of this innocent life, the result of a complex journey that brought us all to this moment.Tears welled up in my eyes as I whispered, "Hello, my little angel."The nurse stepped back, giving me the space and privacy to bond with my baby. I reached out, carefully cradling him in my arms, feeling his warmth against my skin.

I turned to face her, a gentle smile on my lips. "Yes, I am. They said I can visit my baby whenever I want until he's discharged."Understanding crossed the nurse's face, and she nodded in acknowledgment. "Of course, it's important to spend time with your little one. Take care, and congratulations again."I managed a faint smile, grateful for her kindness. As I headed toward the hospital's exit, the nurse's words caught me by surprise. "Oh, by the way, your husband's driver is waiting outside to take you home."I paused, a mix of relief and uncertainty washing over me. I resisted the urge to ask which husband she was referring to, not wanting to reveal the tangled web of my life.I didn't want to reveal my confusion, unsure if she meant Cullen or Ignacio. I didn't want to divulge the tangled web I had woven around me, so I followed her lead without asking any further questions.When we reached the entrance, relief washed over me as I spotted the familiar face of Cullen's driver.

I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. "I'm... I'm fine. Just a little surprised, that's all."He nodded, understanding evident in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to be here so soon," he admitted. "I thought you might need some time to process everything.""Yeah but, the hospital air wasn't palpable.. so I ..uh.." I managed to say."It's alright, take your time." Cullen said and left the room.As he left the room, a mixture of relief and guilt washed over me. I knew I couldn't keep hiding the truth from him, yet the fear of losing everything held me back. I had come this far to want to go back now..Hours passed, and my thoughts swirled in a whirlwind of uncertainty. I wondered how I could regain Cullen's trust, how we could navigate the stormy waters ahead. The sound of a door closing interrupted my thoughts, and I turned to find Cullen re-entering the suite with a tray of refreshments. He had changed into a more casual outfit, but his face still carried traces of concer

Just as I was on the verge of revealing the truth, a knock echoed through the room, interrupting the weighty silence that had settled between Cullen and me."Who's that?" Cullen inquired, his brow furrowing with curiosity."It's me, sir," Cullen's driver's voice resonated from the other side of the door. "I wanted to inform you that Mr. Ignacio just arrived in the building."I felt a pang of anxiety shoot through me. Ignacio's unexpected presence added an extra layer of tension to an already precarious situation. We couldn't afford any missteps now."Oh, we'll be out in a minute," Cullen responded calmly. "He can wait at the lobby or the restaurant.""Alright, sir," the driver acknowledged before retreating from the door.Cullen turned his gaze back to me, his eyes searching mine for answers. "You were about to say something?" he probed, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and concern.My mind raced, torn between the urge to unburden myself and the fear of the consequences that

"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. 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 .
