I woke up the next morning with a heavy yawn, my eyes still adjusting to the brightness of the new day. It was the start of a busy day for me, and I had to get ready for an appointment with Cullen's PA at the site for our latest project. I sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, and picked up my phone to call my interior designer."Hey, it's Brielle. Just wanted to confirm if you were still coming over today?" I asked, hoping for a positive response."Of course, Brielle. I wouldn't miss it for the world. What time should I be there?" my interior designer replied."10 am, sharp. We have a lot to do today," I said, feeling relieved that she was still on board.After the call, I made my way to the shower, taking my time to enjoy the warmth of the water on my skin. I let the water wash away the remaining drowsiness from my body, and I felt refreshed and rejuvenated.Once I was done showering, I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my body. I went to my closet and picked out an
I arrived at the supermarket and decided to purchase ingredients for a comforting bowl of chicken noodle soup. It was a classic dish frequently prepared for individuals on the mend. I perused the aisles, carefully selecting each ingredient necessary to prepare the perfect chicken noodle soup. I selected plump carrots, fresh celery, and flavorful onions, envisioning the perfect balance of aromas and flavors in my soup. Next, I carefully examined the dried pasta options, opting for the smooth and tender texture of chicken noodles. Finally, I made my way to the spices section, selecting just the right amount of fragrant thyme and bay leaves to add depth to my soup's flavor. With each ingredient carefully chosen, I was confident that my chicken noodle soup would be nothing short of perfection.In addition to the essential vegetables and spices, I picked up some fresh chicken and a jar of mayonnaise to use as a marinade.With a light chuckle, I acknowledged the challenge that lay ahead
"Well, it seems like you missed an ingredient," she said calmly, "but don't worry. I've already called the supermarket, and they'll have it delivered in just a few minutes."I let out a sigh of relief and gratitude. "Thank you so much, Carla. Your help means a lot," I replied, feeling grateful.I then went on ahead to make my chicken soup with the other ingredients that I had available before the other one arrived.I started by dicing the onions, careful not to cut too close to my fingers. The pungent aroma filled the air, and I teared up a little. Next, I peeled and chopped the carrots into small pieces, and sliced the celery into thin rounds. As I worked, I thought about how much I loved this process of chopping and preparing vegetables - there was something soothing and almost meditative about it.After the vegetables were prepped, I heated up some olive oil in a large pot, and added the onions, stirring them until they were translucent. I then added the carrots and celery and le
As I stepped out of the kitchen with Drew's soup, I saw Cullen's driver waiting by the door. With a reassuring smile, I approached him and said, "Don't worry, I'll drive myself to the hospital."He seemed hesitant and said, "But Miss, Mr. Cullen specifically instructed me to drive you there."I shook my head and replied, "I appreciate your concern, but I'll be fine. Tell Cullen I insisted."The driver nodded and stepped aside, allowing me to pass. With the soup in one hand and the car keys in the other, I made my way to the garage and drove off to the hospital. As I parked my car and stepped out, I noticed some individuals in the parking lot were staring at me. It seemed as though they were questioning my fit, giving me a disapproving "why are you dressed up like a gangsta" look. However, their gazes didn't bother me in the slightest. In fact, I welcomed the attention and was perfectly at ease with it, leaving them to deal with their own perceptions.As I made my way into the hospi
Drew's hospital room opened and a tall lady walked in with her head down looking inside her bag,"Hey Drew, I forgot my charger." She said as she looked up "Oh, so sorry. I didn't know you had a visitor" "It's, it's fine.. I was just about to leave" I said as I stood up but Drew held my hands."Uh.. I'm Drew's sister. Natasha," she said smiling and gesturing a hand towards me "I think we met the other day with that friend of yours, what's her name again.."I took her hand and replied "Evie, her name's Evie" I said. "Yeahh! Evie, how is she?" Drew's sister asked "Fine, she's fine" I said as I sat back on Drew's bedside."You don't have to go, I just came to pick up my charger. I was long gone and just realized I left my charger here l, so have fun… take care of him for me. He's all I got" she said smiling as she left the room.I turned to face Drew. He gave a funny look like he didn't do anything.I watched Drew's sister leave and turned back to him, feeling a bit uncomfortable with
As I approached the grand Mansion, a sense of familiarity washed over me. With a steady stride, I climbed up the stairs to my room and collapsed on my plush bed, taking a moment to catch my breath.Suddenly, Cullen's voice echoed from a dark corner in my room, causing my heart to skip a beat. I leapt from my bed in surprise, barely managing to stutter out, "Wha-what are you doing here?""I'm sorry to have startled you," Cullen replied, flicking on the light switch. "I've been waiting for you."As he scanned my appearance, his words trailed off for a moment before he finally said, "You look... different."I took a deep breath and explained, "I went to visit Drew at the hospital. I wanted to be comfortable, you know, just in case I had to sit there for hours. Plus, I've been wanting to try out this look for a while now."Cullen nodded understandingly, and I felt relieved. I was glad he wasn't judging me for my outfit choice.He came closer to me, a soft smile playing on his lips. "We
As we stepped into the shower, the water cascaded over us, drenching our bodies.With each passing moment, the heat between us intensified, and I felt my body responding to his touch. Our hands roamed over each other's bodies, exploring every inch of skin. The steamy air filled our lungs as we continued to explore each other, our bodies moving in perfect harmony.I felt a rush of pleasure course through me as he pressed his body against mine.As we stepped out of the shower, droplets of water still glistening on our skin,"You're gonna make me late for work, Brielle," he said with a smile.I couldn't resist teasing him. "Really? Coming from someone who was staring at me butt naked from his sleep," I replied with a grin.He chuckled, his eyes tracing over my curves. "C'mon, you did what you did on purpose," he said, his voice low and husky.I arched an eyebrow, pretending to be innocent. "Did I?" I asked, knowing full well that I had his attention.He smirked, his hand moving to my w
I emerged from the grand mansion, descending the staircase with grace. Adorned in my two piece outfit that exuded boss lady vibes, I felt empowered and confident, embodying the CEO role that I had always envisioned for myself. As I took in my surroundings, I realized that everything was finally falling into place.Just then, the driver of Cullen's vehicle opened the car door for me, acknowledging my presence with a polite greeting."Good morning, ma'am Brielle. You look stunning," he remarked, maintaining a professional demeanor."Thank you so much," I replied with a smile, settling into the luxurious G-wagon that Cullen had generously left for me to use in going around New York City.I reached out to my interior designer and informed her that I would be arriving at the site shortly. "Hello, it's me. Just wanted to let you know that I'm almost at the site," I said into my phone."Great, I'll be there shortly," she responded on the other end of the line."Perfect, thank you. See you
"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
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 .
