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

    As the meeting drew to a close, Cullen turned to me and requested that I stay behind while the other directors filtered out of the boardroom, leaving just the two of us, along with his PA."Could you excuse us?" Cullen directed to his assistant, to which she promptly replied with a warm smile, "Of course Mr. Cullen."With her exit, Cullen shifted his focus back to me, and I tried my best to maintain my composure, so as not to show any sign of intimidation under his gaze."So, that's a wrap?" I confidently asked."I suppose so, Brielle. Thank you for everything," he replied in a calm and relaxed tone, which caught me off guard, as I had expected a more stern response.I quickly changed the topic to avoid any awkwardness, "Wow, Drew would be so happy."Speaking of Drew, Cullen then informed me that he had been discharged from the hospital earlier that morning. "I thought I should let you know, since you both were quite close during the project," he said in a relaxed manner.Feeling cau

    After I finished my milkshake, I reclined to rest for a while. Upon awakening, I noticed that Carla had already begun arranging the dining table in preparation for dinner. The table was made of polished wood, with a glossy finish that glimmered in the dim light of the mansion's dining room.Each place setting was adorned with the finest of silverware, intricately crafted with a design that was almost too delicate to touch. The plates were made of delicate porcelain, adorned with intricate golden trimmings that sparkled under the light of the chandelier above.In the center of the table stood a grand candelabra, its many candles casting a warm glow over the entire room. The floral centerpiece was arranged with the utmost care, with a variety of vibrant blooms that added a touch of color and elegance to the setting.I could tell that every detail of the table setting had been carefully thought out and executed to perfection. The ambiance was one of sophistication and luxury, befitti

    As I prepared to make my way downstairs, my attention was suddenly drawn to my hair. With a touch, I realized that I had forgotten to style it. A wave of frustration washed over me, and I muttered a curse to myself in annoyance.I swiftly retreated back to my dressing table to tend to my hair. I deftly removed the ribbon that had previously held my silk black hair in place, allowing my luscious black silk straight hair to cascade down my shoulders in a smooth and elegant manner. Instead of packing my hair, I let it rest gracefully on my shoulders, framing my face in a flattering way. To achieve a sleek and polished look, I created a subtle side parting and carefully ran my straightener through each section of hair. As I worked, I took the time to ensure that each strand was perfectly straight, resulting in a smooth and sophisticated hairstyle that I was proud to wear.As I glanced over the array of heels before me, I made the decision to settle on a striking red pair. Despite th

    Drew chimed in, expressing his regret about not being able to see the project through to the end. But Cullen reassured him, Drew suddenly spoke up, "I really wish I could have seen that project through to the end." Cullen reached across the table to pat Drew's hand reassuringly. "Hey man, it wasn't your fault. Things happen that are out of our control. Don't beat yourself up about it." Drew let out a deep sigh, "I know, but it's hard not to feel like I let the team down." Cullen shook his head, "You didn't let anyone down. We all know how hard you worked on that project. Sometimes things just don't go according to plan." I chimed in, "Exactly, Drew. You didn't cause or plan for that accident to happen, the most important thing right now is that you're alive and safe." Drew looked up at me and smiled gratefully, "Thanks, Brielle. You guys are right. I just need to remember that and not beat myself up about it." Cullen nodded in agreement, "Exactly, Drew." Drew then turned his a

    I wanted to reciprocate his feelings, but the nagging thought of betraying Evie held me back once again. "I do have feelings for you, Drew," I wanted to say, but the fear of causing more harm to Evie kept haunting me."You don't love me, Brielle," Drew's voice was deep and firm."It's not that, Drew...I just..." I struggled to explain myself, my words faltering."It's okay, I understand," Drew replied, as he withdrew himself from me.He stood up and walked away, a wave of guilt washed over me. I knew I had hurt him, but I also knew that I couldn't simply disregard Evie's feelings.Days passed by and I couldn't stop thinking about Drew, Cullen had gone on his trip and I was left alone in the big mansion. I had already wrapped up Cullen's project like he instructed me the day he left for his trip and Cullen's PA had sent my five million dollars as agreed with Cullen, I also paid my interior designer and they were almost done with the whole design.I told Ignacio I'd meet with him next

    As I arrived at the park, It was a nearby park. I noticed the beautiful scenery around me. The trees were tall and the air was crisp, making for a perfect setting for our conversation. I told Cullen's driver to let me drive myself, one couldn't be careful enough. I didn't want him snooping around to Cullen when he got back so I decided to wade him off in time.I took a deep breath and walked towards our meeting spot, As I scanned the park, my eyes caught sight of Drew sitting on a bench at a distance. Although his back was facing towards me, his sturdy and well-built silhouette immediately caught my attention. I walked towards him and touched his shoulder, he was startled for a minute."Brielle" he said, breathing out in relief "you startled me.." "I'm, I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to" I said sincerely."It's alright, have a seat" he said gesturing towards the bench.I sat and looked at the scenery of the park, I remembered the last time we were here and how close he held me to him

    Today was not particularly eventful for me, as I had to monitor the final stage for my store. Although I didn't feel particularly motivated, I knew it was necessary. As I walked over to my dressing table, I felt my energy wane. However, I picked up my makeup kit and decided to do a full patch of make-up to conceal my Eyebags and pale face.Beginning with my brows, I meticulously groomed them to ensure they were perfectly shaped.After completing my brows, I moved on to apply foundation. I chose a shade that perfectly matched my skin tone and used a blending brush to apply it evenly all over my face. As I looked in the mirror, I noticed that the foundation had done a great job of covering up my Eyebags and pale face.Next, I applied concealer to my under-eye area and any other areas that needed extra coverage. I carefully blended it in with my fingers, ensuring that there were no harsh lines or creases.To add a pop of color to my face, I applied a rosy blush to the apples of my ch

    "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.

    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 .
