As we stepped out of the airport, the warm Spanish sun hit our faces, and I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. We had finally made it to Spain.

"So, Brielle," Drew said, grinning mischievously at me. "I hope you're down for some fun while we're here."

I rolled my eyes. "Drew, this is a business trip. We're here to work, not play around."

He chuckled. "Come on, Brielle, lighten up a bit. We can still have some fun while we're working. And who knows, we might even get to sneak in some sightseeing."

I shook my head, smiling. "You're impossible, Drew. But I guess a little sightseeing won't hurt."

As we got into the car we rented, Drew couldn't help but comment on how stylish it looked.

"I don't know about you, Brielle, but I feel like a movie star driving this thing."

I laughed. "Well, let's hope it doesn't break down in the middle of the highway like one."

We drove through the streets of Madrid, admiring the stunning architecture and the vibrant colors of the city.

    The next morning, I woke up to the sound of Drew humming softly. I turned towards him and found him staring at me with a smile on his face. "Good morning, beautiful," he said, his voice rough with sleep. I couldn't help but blush at his words. "Good morning," I replied, returning the smile. Drew leaned in and brushed his lips against mine. The way he looked at me made me feel like the only woman in the world, and I never wanted this moment to end. But eventually, we had to get up and start our day. We got dressed and headed out for breakfast, eager to continue exploring the beautiful city of Madrid. As we walked through the streets, he took my hand and pulled me close to him. "Brielle," he said, "I know this might sound crazy, but I can't imagine going back to New York without you by my side. Will you stay in Spain with me?" I couldn't help but burst out laughing at Drew's proposal. "As much as I would love to stay with you in Spain, you know that's not possible," I said with a s

    As Drew spoke about his day, I couldn't help but get lost in his deep brown eyes. He was always so passionate about anything he did, and it was one of the things I admired most about him.As our dinner arrived, I savored the delicious flavors and listened intently as Drew continued to tell me about his day. But I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt for not telling him the whole truth about my day."Hey, Brielle," Drew interrupted my thoughts. "Is everything okay? You seem a little distant."I took a deep breath, knowing that I had to come clean about my day. "I'm sorry, Drew. I went to see an old friend while you were touring the hotel."Drew raised an eyebrow, looking at me curiously. "Oh really? Who did you go see?"I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how he would react if I told him about Ignacio. "I went to see Ignacio, my ex husband" I admitted.Drew's expression softened as he reached for my hand. "Brielle, you don't have to keep anything from me. I trust you."His words wa

    Drew stepped in, his tone calm and measured. "Can you tell us more about these changes?" he asked. "We need to understand what we're agreeing to before we can sign anything." Our partner nodded, relieved to have a chance to explain. He went over the changes in detail, outlining the new clauses and their implications. As he spoke, I felt my anxiety slowly start to dissipate. Drew and I exchanged a glance, silently communicating our resolve to see this through. After a few more minutes of discussion, we finally reached an agreement that everyone was happy with. We signed the documents and shook hands, feeling a sense of relief and accomplishment wash over us. As we walked out of the boardroom, I felt a sense of gratitude and admiration for Drew. He had remained calm and focused throughout the entire process, never losing sight of our goals or getting distracted by the challenges we faced. I leaned in resisting the urge to kiss him, "Thank you for always being there for me," I wh

    As we went towards the parking lot, I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was following us. Every time I turned around, I couldn't see anyone, but I could feel their presence. Drew must have noticed my unease because he put his arm around me and pulled me close. "Don't worry," he whispered in my ear. "I won't let anything happen to you." We made it to the car and quickly got in. As Drew started the engine, I looked around and saw a man standing in the shadows, watching us. "Drew, look!" I pointed towards the man, my heart racing with fear. Drew quickly looked in the direction I was pointing and stepped on the gas pedal, speeding away from the parking lot. I looked back and saw the man running after us, his face twisted in anger. I knew then that we were in trouble. Drew drove as fast as he could, but the man kept up, following us through the busy streets of the city. We turned onto a narrow alleyway, hoping to lose the man, but he was relentless. He pulled out a gun and fired

    We got to our room and I kept wondering to myself, who was that guy? Why did he want us dead?? I didn't have any enemies in Spain, or were they after Drew?The questions kept playing in my head over and over again, it was as if I was going crazy. Drew had stepped out of the room to request for a hot bath for me from the maintenance staff.As he got back I ran to him and hugged him, I couldn't stop shaking"I'm scared Drew" I said to him in a shaky voice"It's alright Brielle, it's over now" he said in a reassuring tone"But how do you know it's over? Who was that guy and why was he after us??" I asked with concern written all over my face."Honestly Brielle, I do not know" he said with sincerity in his eyes as he withdrew from the embrace and held me with his two hands on my shoulder,"But what I do know is that we've reported to the police and they would do something about it, we just have to be patient okay?"I nodded "yeah, yeah of course"He pulled me back into a tight hug and wh

    Drew took a deep breath, trying to organize his thoughts. "I think Dionne was the one who sent the hit man after us," he said, his voice steady and low.My eyes widened in shock. "What? How can you be sure?""Think about it. She knew you were going to Spain and remember, Cullen never told her he was married. She had a motive, Brielle. She wanted revenge on Cullen for leaving her and marrying you instead. What better way to hurt him than by killing you both?" Drew explained, I could tell his mind was racing with the pieces of the puzzle falling into place."But why would she go to such extremes? That's insane!" I exclaimed, my hands shaking slightly."Love can make people do crazy things, Brielle. And one thing I know for sure is that Dionne was never stable. She probably thought that by taking you out of the picture, Cullen would come back to her," he said, trying to keep his tone calm.I slumped back on the couch, to think that my marriage to Cullen was even a contract and not real y

    We got to the airport and boarded our flight, Cullen had arranged everything already. We had called him earlier before leaving the hotel to inform him about the latest turn of events. As we got on board, I decided to ask him about what Cullen's mum had to do with all these since he asked earlier if I had met her before. When I answered he said he'd tell me later, now seemed like the best time to ask again,"Hey.." I called out to him, my voice a little above a whisper "Yeah? Are you alright??" He asked, I could sense concern in his voice"I'm fine Drew, I just wanted to ask how Cullen's mum is related to all these?" I asked staring at him with eagerness"Hmm.." he took a deep breath as he responded " My Aunt sees Dionne as the perfect bride for my cousin and is blind to any wrong she does"I nodded waiting for him to go on,"My own conclusion is that, she might have seen you that night as you said and as she left, went straight to Dionne to tell her about you" he said looking at me

    As we laughed and talked, the door to the living room swung open, Cullen walked in. He rushed over to my side, concern etched on his face."Brielle, my love, are you okay? I wouldn't forgive myself if anything happened to you," he said, his voice laced with worry.I was taken aback by the way he showed so much concern, but I quickly composed myself and played along afterall we were real couples in the eyes of everyone. "Yes, Cullen, I'm fine. Drew here made sure of that," I said, nodding towards Drew.Cullen turned to Drew, his expression softening. "Thank you, Drew. I can't express how grateful I am for what you did."Drew nodded as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his eyes darting away from Cullen's gaze. As we chatted, I couldn't help but steal glances at Drew. Despite the awkwardness between us, I couldn't deny the chemistry that crackled between us. I didn't wonder if he felt it too cause I knew for a fact that he did, but I quickly pushed the thought away. Now wasn't 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. 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 .
