"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

    As I strutted off my private jet at the airport, the cool New York breeze hit my face like a welcome slap in the face. I took a deep breath and looked around. Hmph, it's been a hot minute since I've been in this concrete jungle.I could feel the chill in the air. It was a stark contrast to the warm, sunny weather in Los Angeles. I grabbed my luggage and sauntered towards the exit, my boots clicking on the floor like a boss lady. The scent of coffee and fresh croissants tickled my nose, and I couldn't resist the temptation. I walked over to the nearest coffee shop and ordered a double shot of espresso and a chocolate croissant. Yum, it tasted like heaven.As I continued my walk towards the exit, I couldn't help but smile at the memories flooding my mind. I remember the last time I was in New York, I was young and wild, modeling and partying with my friends. Ah, those were the days.But now, I'm all grown up, running my own fashion line with Ignacio's money and taking the world by sto

    I rummaged through my luggage, searching for the perfect dress to wear tonight. I wanted something that would make heads turn, something that would catch the eye of everyone in the room. Even though I was broke, I refused to let anyone know. After all, a girl's gotta maintain her reputation, am I right?I pulled out a few dresses and tossed them aside, not feeling satisfied with any of them. But then, I saw it. A beautiful, black dress with just the right amount of sparkle. It was tight in all the right places and showed off my curves perfectly. I grinned to myself, knowing that this dress was the one.I slipped into the dress and twirled around in front of the mirror. My pigtails bounced as I spun, and I couldn't help but laugh at my reflection. I may not have a lot of money, but I had style, and that was worth more than any amount of cash.I grabbed my red and black high-heeled boots and slipped them on, feeling ready to take on the world. I topped off the look with some bright red

    As I signed my name on the contract, sealing my fate as Cullen's temporary wife, I couldn't help but smile. The promise of endless wealth and luxury had always been my heart's desire, and now, it was finally within my grasp.Cullen's grin only added to my excitement, and my heart raced as a waiter entered with our food. The aroma of the pasta made my mouth water, and I couldn't wait to indulge in its deliciousness.As I twirled my fork through the noodles, I couldn't help but think of Ignacio, my Spanish husband. He was a big-time wine baron in Spain with multiple wineries across the country and Los Angeles. We had met at a fashion runway in Los Angeles and somehow, we had connected. I couldn't deny that his deep pockets had drawn me to him. We've been married for 13 months.But now, everything had changed. Ignacio's company was running down, and the money wasn't flowing like it used to. I needed a way out, a way to secure my future. And that's when Cullen had come along.As the wai

    I stood in front of the mirror, admiring my reflection with a grin on my face. The name Mrs. Cullen had a nice ring to it, and it was a far cry from the name I used to go by. I twirled a strand of my long blonde hair around my finger, feeling a sense of satisfaction wash over me.I was getting ready for Cullen's party, feeling pretty darn excited. It was all for show, of course - our marriage was as fake as my blonde hair, but that didn't mean we couldn't have a little fun with it.I paced back and forth, debating what to wear. I wanted something that said "hot damn", but not "trying too hard". But then, a small frown creased my forehead.Cullen wanted an heir, and I needed to give him one. And then, there was my Spanish husband in Los Angeles. He didn't know what I was up to in New York, and Cullen didn't know I was married.I mean, sure, I wanted to secure my future and all, but the thought of carrying a child for him made me feel so uncomfortable. I had to find a way to handle th

    The party was over and it was time to head home.The sound of my Cullen's cousin's laughter echoed in my mind as I began to make my way towards the door. He was charming, young, and handsome, and I couldn't help but feel a spark of attraction towards him.Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought someone could trigger the spark Drew made me feel, could this be what I'm thinking? Or it's still too early to decide that?I knew I had to slow down with these thoughts.. I couldn't wait to get home and shower, the thought of his smile lingering in my mind as I stood in the shower reminiscing about the brief moments we shared at the party. Even though Evie kept cutting in, I couldn't help the way he made me feel just by taking a brief glance at me.I walked majestically towards Evie, swaying my hips from side to side just to get enough attention from Drew, my husband's cousin who was standing just beside Evie. "Evie ma chérie, c'est vraiment dommage mais je vais devoir partir mainte

    I opened my eyes to an empty bed, feeling the warmth of the morning sun on my skin. Cullen was gone, but that was of no concern to me. I wasn't attracted to Cullen's looks, just his wealth. I saw him as just a means to an end, a way to fulfill my desires without any emotional attachments.As I got up to take a shower, my mind wandered to Drew. He was unlike anyone I had ever met before. There was something about him that intrigued me, although I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. After my shower, I made my way downstairs for breakfast. Cullen was already there, enjoying his meal with a sense of satisfaction. "Bonjour beau," I said to him with a seductive smile."Bonjour belle," Cullen replied, his eyes fixated on me as if he couldn't get enough.We talked about his business meetings over breakfast, but my mind kept wandering back to Drew. Cullen was just a temporary distraction, but Drew had the potential to be something more, I could feel it. As he stood up to leave, he r

    I walked into Cullen's mansion with a few shopping bags in hand, feeling a little tired from the long day of shopping in the bustling New York City.As I made my way up to my room, Cullen's driver offered me a refreshing smoothie he had bought on our way back from the mall. I gladly took it, it was as if he could read my mind at the moment.I was still sipping my smoothie when my phone rang, and to my delight, it was my friend Evie on the other end. "Hey Evie, what's up?" I greeted her warmly."Oh Brielle, it's been such a stressful day at work," she exclaimed. "I could really use a break."I sympathized with her and told her about my day, how I had gone shopping at the biggest mall in the city. Evie was thrilled to hear about my adventure, and she couldn't help but express her envy. "Wow, you're so lucky to have met Cullen," she said. "I wish I could've gone with you."I chuckled and explained that it was a last-minute decision and that I didn't have time to invite anyone. "But don

    It was the next day and I was in my room, staring out the window, waiting for my friend Evie to arrive. I had invited her over to the mansion, and I couldn't wait to catch up with her. But as I gazed out the window, I saw Drew, leaving the house. I couldn't deny to myself that I was attracted to him, and I could sense that he felt the same way about me. But we had never acted on our feelings, on my own part it was partly because of my contract marriage to Cullen and I guessed the same reason went for Drew too. Only that he never knew my marriage to Drew was a contract.As Drew walked past the window, Evie had just pulled up the driveway. Evie had a crush on Drew ever since she met him at my wedding party, and I could tell she was going to be shamelessly flirting with him again.I got up and went down to welcome her regardless, as soon as she walked in, she couldn't help but admire the mansion."Wow, this is truly breathtaking. The scale and grandeur of this place are just beyond wo

    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 .
