"You know, the first time I met you I never thought you'd stoop so low" I said mockingly

"What do you mean by that?" She asked furrowing her brows

"Oh you don't know?" I asked

She rolled her eyes again and this time I felt a surge of anger rising inside of me. I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm and composed.

"Dionne, let's cut the small talk," I said firmly. "We both know why I'm here. You've been attacking me and Drew behind our backs, and I'm here to confront you about it."

Dionne raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing at the corner of her lips. "Attacking you? Please, Brielle. Why would I waste my time with something as petty as that."

I narrowed my eyes. "You know what, I thought so too? But maybe you aren't as smart as I thought you to be" I said to her in a harsh tone " Now don't play dumb with me, Dionne, I've had enough of it."

She leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms. "And what are you going to do about it, Brielle? You know I have the upper hand in this. You an

    The next morning came with a fresh air, I didn't know what it was but it smelt like success,I smiled contentedly as I rose from my bed and made my way to the bathroom to refresh myself for the day ahead. With a gentle splash of cool water on my face, I felt the sleepiness of the night fade away, replaced by a sense of rejuvenation.I took a moment to appreciate the soft towels and the clean, inviting environment of the bathroom.After a quick glance in the mirror to ensure I looked presentable. With a spring in my step, I walked out of the bathroom, eager to start my day on a positive note.Dionne had not known what was coming, that surge of excitement bubbled inside of me. Although, I didn't know how Cullen wanted to use the recording to silence her. That wasn't clear to me but I knew he'd have his way of handling things when it comes to things like this.I reached for my plush robe, slipping it on over my nightclothes, grateful for its warmth against the chill of the morning air.

    Cullen immediately responded,"The Project, I meant to say Drew. In as much as this project meant alot to my company I wouldn't want to see my wife get hurt in between" he said gesturing his hands towards meI didn't say a word, I was too shocked to say anything. "Oh, of course we don't want that and I think she understands that now, right Brielle?" Drew asked meI just nodded, still backing him"Well I'll have to head to the office now and Brielle about what we were to discuss earlier this morning, can you make it to my office instead?"I gave a nod of agreement. Cullen then left and I turned to face Drew. "Are you hungry?" I said out of nowhere to Drew"Ugh.. not really but if you are I can join you" he said looking at me confusinglyI held him and dragged him towards the kitchen where Carla was brewing a kettle of coffee."Carla, can you make us some bread and omelets with a cup of coffee?" I asked "Okay ma'am, right away" she said as she went ahead to prepare it.I turned to D

    "I uh.. have to get dressed, Cullen would be expecting me" I said to Drew as I leaned closer to him."I'm also expecting you," he said laughing as he placed a soft kiss on my lips.I stood up and headed for the door. Got to my room and I shut the door behind me, my heart was pounding.It was like what I feared the most had happened, I was falling in love with Drew. I mean who wouldn't? He was damn handsome and knew how to treat a lady!Why did I have to be in this contract marriage! Damn it!! I said to myself.As I started my day, it suddenly dawned on me that I had an important meeting with Cullen at his office to discuss our next move for Dionne. I immediately realized that I needed to get dressed, so I made my way to my closet to find something appropriate to wear.As my eyes scanned the shelves searching for the perfect outfit, nothing seemed to fit the bill. That's when I remembered the blue wrap skirt I had bought while I was in Spain. The memory flooded back to me, of walkin

    And not to long he admitted,"Brielle," he said softly, reaching to take my hand in his. "I wanted to apologize for the way I spoke to you earlier. It wasn't fair of me to say that I wanted to exclude you from the project."I looked up at him, my expression softening. "It's all right," I said with a small smile. "I didn't really keep it in mind. As long as you didn't mean it, that's all that matters."I could see he felt a wave of relief wash over him at my words. "Of course I didn't mean it," he said, his tone earnest. "I value your input and your contributions to the team. I was just frustrated with the way things were going, and I shouldn't have taken it out on you."I squeezed his hand gently, my eyes were warm and understanding. "It's okay, Cullen. We all have our moments of frustration. The important thing is that we move past it and work together as a team."He smiled at her, "You're right. And I promise to be more mindful of how I speak to you in the future."My smile grew wid

    Cullen asked his driver to drop me off at the mansion after dropping him off at the office."Get some rest Brielle, I know a guy who owns a building in a prime location in New York. It's a very popular spot for fashion stores," he explained. "I can arrange a meeting for you to view the space and discuss renting it."My heart swelled with gratitude. I couldn't believe that Cullen was willing to help me with something so important to me."Thank you so much, Cullen," I said, beaming with excitement. "This means a lot to me." "Don't mention" he said as he came down from the car and into his office."Sir Cullen is very kind and generous," Cullen's driver said as Cullen walked towards the office building."Yeah, he indeed is," I said with a warm smile.As Cullen's driver pulled at the Mansion, I saw Drew packing his stuff into his car. I came down almost immediately,"Drew? Are you going somewhere??""Yeah, my place" he said "Okay.. and you didn't think to tell me?" I asked confused"It's

    Cullen finally returned my calls and said he was in a board meeting and that was why he couldn't pick up, he said Drew had already informed him on what was going on and I should just remain calm."I should remain calm? Well it's easy for you to say when you weren't the one they called and threatened" I said in frustration"There's not much panicking would do and as it is, go downstairs and meet Carla" he said calmlyI was confused, I was in the middle of someone threatening my life and all he could say was that I should go meet his Maid?"I don't under.." before I could complete my statement, he hung up" I was furious.After Cullen hung up on me, I felt frustrated and angry at the situation. How could he be so calm when someone was threatening my life? But his words replayed in my mind, "there's not much panicking would do," and I knew he was right. I took a deep breath and went downstairs to meet Carla."Carla," I yelled"Yes ma'am, I'm coming" she responded coming out of the kitch

    Just as I felt myself on the verge of hysteria, a familiar voice called out. "Brielle, it's me, Drew," he said quietly, almost in a hushed tone.Startled, I jumped slightly at the sudden sound of his voice. "You startled me!" I exclaimed, my voice barely above a whisper.Looking apologetic, Drew responded, "I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. I just wanted to check and make sure you're okay."I took a deep breath to calm my nerves before responding. "I'm fine, just a little jumpy I guess," I said with a small smile.Drew's expression softened in relief. "Good, I'm glad to hear that. It's just that with everything going on, I wanted to make sure you were safe."I nodded in understanding. "Thank you for checking in on me. It means a lot."His lips tugged into a smile. "Of course. I care about you, Brielle. I always will."My heart skipped a beat at his words.Feeling emboldened, I took a step closer to him. "I care about you too, Drew. More than I ever thought possible."His eyes met mine, fil

    As I settled into the plush leather seats of Cullen's car, I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up. "Hello Cullen, how are you? I'm on my way to the building, could you kindly text me the exact location?" I spoke into the phone, trying to keep my tone composed."Of course, Brielle, I'll send it over now," he responded promptly, and I watched as a message from him popped up on my phone screen. "Thank you, I just received it," I replied before ending the call.I leaned back on the comfortable seats and took a deep breath, taking in the bustling environment of the wealthy area in New York. The streets were lined with tall skyscrapers, luxury cars, and impeccably dressed people, all going about their business.As I scrolled through my Instagram feed, I stumbled upon a post that caught my eye.It showcased a beautiful and unique interior design done by one of New York's top designers. Despite not having much on me, I was determined to make my fashion space stand out and look

    "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 .
