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 woke up the next morning with a sharp pain in my head. I didn't know why at first but then I remembered, I had hit my head on the pavement back in Spain when I and Drew were being chased by those unknown men.I knew I had to see the doctor, just to be sure I hadn't sustained any internal injury. There was no way I was going to get there by myself, I needed someone to go with me. No way did I want Cullen to know I wasn't feeling too good, not after the argument we had last night. I managed to get out of bed, brush my teeth and go downstairs to have a quick breakfast. I held my head with my left hand as I walked down the stairs, it was as if everything was spinning.Just as I got down to the last step, I felt dizzy and fainted. My eyes opened and I scanned the environment. I was in a hospital. What was I doing there?The last thing I remembered was that I slipped and fell down on my face, the rest was blank. I didn't think it could have been that serious to be rushed down to a hos

    "I have to go Drew" I said to him as I got up to leave the car but he held me back and my face to his"Tell me you don't feel the same way I do, tell me I'm just dreaming and you don't feel your heart beat faster anytime we're together" he said, his voice etching with emotions"I.. I… I don't what to say" I said stammering"It's alright if you don't feel the same way that I do but all you have to do is say it and I won't bother you any longer" he said waiting for me to respond"That's…" I was about to say before my phone rang, it was Evie. "I'm sorry I have to take this" I said as I picked Evie's call and came down from his car heading towards the Mansion,"Hello Evie" I said plainly"Hi, Cullen called me and said you fainted. Are you ok Brielle?" She asked with concern in her voice"Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing to worry about, just a little scratch on my head but I'll be fine" I said to her."Do you mind If I come over?" "Uh… okay, sure. I could do with a little company" I said not reall

    "Coming Evie, just give me a minute" I called out to her as I whispered to Drew to go hide in the closet while I opened the door for Evie.As he went to hide I stood up and went ahead and opened the door for Evie,"Sorry, I forgot you were coming over" I said "I saw Drew's car parked in the driveway, is he around?" She asked with curiosity in her eyes."Drew?" I said trying to sound confused "I thought he left already, he dropped me off from the hospital but I can swear I saw him drive off" "Maybe he forgot something" Evie said with her head faced down like she was trying to figure out something"Hey!" I called her name a bit loud "Did you come to see me or you came for Drew?" I asked rolling my eyes at her"C'mon Brielle, don't be like that" she said laughing."Let's go downstairs, being in this room makes me sick! It's so boring" I said trying to distract her from staying longer in the room because of Drew"You've got a beautiful room and you say it's boring? I can't deal with you

    I woke up feeling much better. Evie had already gone and it was just I and Carla in the mansion. As Drew hadn't called me yet, I decided to ask Carla some questions that could really be of help to me.I made my way down the grand staircase and headed towards the kitchen, where Carla was preparing dinner. The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air, and I felt my stomach growl in anticipation. Carla greeted me with a warm smile and offered me a slice of bread with jam spreaded on top, which I gladly accepted.As I took a bite of the warm, buttery bread with sweet jam, memories flooded my mind. The aroma of freshly baked bread was a familiar scent that reminded me of my childhood. I remembered how my father used to wake up early every Sunday morning to bake bread for I and my mum. He would mix the ingredients in a large bowl, knead the dough, and let it rise. Then, he would shape it into loaves and bake them in the oven until they were golden brown and perfectly crispy.The sme

    As I pulled up to the grand entrance of the Mansion, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me.We were safe in the mansion for all I knew, and I was determined to keep Drew protected there.I was sure Cullen wouldn't mind, he was his cousin after all.Once we were inside, I led Drew to the guest room and made sure he was comfortable. "I'll be back soon," I said, giving him a reassuring smile. "Just rest and try to relax."As I made my way down the hallway, my mind raced with questions. Who could be after Drew? Could it be the same guy who attacked us back in spain?I knew I needed answers, but how to get those answers was what I didn't know. I headed to Cullen's study to make a call to the PI we hired in Spain. It rang but he wasn't picking up, I tried one last time and he picked up"Hello detective" I said in a serious tone"Hello Ms Brielle, have you gone through the email I sent?" he responded"Yes, yes and so sorry I couldn't get back to you in time. I was waiting

    It was night time and we were to all have dinner together but Drew couldn't join us. He said he had something to do on his phone.I sat at the dining table as I waited for Carla to serve my dinner, shortly after Cullen came in to join me."Where's Drew?" He asked immediately"Said he can't join us, he's busy with something on his phone" I said casually"Carla" he called out "Yes sir" Carla came in rushing"When you're done serving us, take Drew's dinner to his room for him. He won't be joining us tonight""Alright sir" she said as she walked back to the kitchen.I wondered what Drew wanted to do that couldn't wait till after dinner. But my thoughts were quickly interrupted as Cullen spoke up."I know you hired a private investigator while you were in Spain," he said, his eyes fixed on me.I felt my heart skip a beat. How could he know that? I and Drew had been so careful to keep it a secret."How... how did you know?" I stammered, my mind racing.Cullen simply shrugged. "Let's just s

    I was making my way towards my room, lost in my thoughts, when I heard Drew's voice. He was speaking in a low tone, which piqued my curiosity. Who was he talking to, and why did he seem so hesitant? I couldn't help but wonder what he was hiding from me.As I reached my room, I tiptoed in, not wanting to draw any attention to myself. I closed the door softly and let out a sigh of relief. I needed some time to clear my head, so I decided to take a warm bath.The water flowed over my skin, and I could feel the tension start to melt away. The warmth of the water soothed my muscles, and I closed my eyes, letting myself drift off into a state of relaxation.After my bath, I wrapped myself in my soft robe and sat down in front of my dressing table to apply my face cream. I suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around me. The scent of Cullen filled the air, and I knew he was here for one reason and one reason only.We both knew what this was – a business transaction, nothing more. But that di

    "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 .
