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.

"Oh Brielle, wasn't expecting you this early," she said."Yeah, I didn't either," I mumbled under my breath."Excuse me?" she asked, sensing my reluctance.I smiled at her, "how's it going? I can see it's really starting to come together nicely," I said, taking a closer look at the progress made on my building."Yeah, uhm... it's just the final cleanups that are remaining, and we'll be done.

    As I approached Drew, I felt a knot forming in my stomach. It's been days since we last spoke, I wasn't sure how to act around him. But I knew that avoiding him was not the answer.Drew looked at me with a mixture of surprise and relief. "Good to hear," he said, smiling back at me. "I was beginning to think you were avoiding me.""Not at all," I replied, trying to keep my tone composed. "May I ask why you're here?"Drew gave me a smirk before replying, "I don't think we should talk about that here. How about we go to my place?"I couldn't help but feel a bit taken aback by his suggestion. "Your place?" I repeated, unsure of what to make of his proposition.Drew picked up on my hesitation and asked, "Do you have a problem with that?" There was a hint of amusement in his voice, as if he found my discomfort amusing.I quickly shook my head. "No, of course not. I was just asking," I blurted out, avoiding his gaze.Drew seemed to sense my unease and reassured me, "I just want us to spend

    I was mesmerized by the golden chandeliers that hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire living area with their radiant light. Every detail in the interior was immaculate, from the elegant furniture to the intricate designs on the walls.The overall effect was nothing short of stunning, and I found myself lost in admiration of the exquisite beauty of the place.I gazed around Drew's place and couldn't help but admire its beauty.

"Are you kidding me? Your home is a masterpiece, and you don't find it worth mentioning? That's unbelievable," I said, surprised."Thanks for the compliment, beautiful," he said with a grin.Trying not to sound jealous, I inquired, "So how many other women have you brought here?"He thought for a m

    "Why not spend the night at my place?" I heard Drew's voice suggest, a friendly smile on his face. "Since Cullen isn't back yet, I could keep you company for the night."I chuckled at his offer. "Is this an official invite to spend the night over at your place?" I teased, my eyes sparkling.Drew laughed, clearly amused by my response. "Alright then, Brielle, would you love to spend the night at my place please?" he said with a grin.I joined in on the laughter. "You're so corny, Drew," I said, shaking my head but smiling nonetheless."So I guess that's a yes?" he asked, a hint of playfulness in his voice.I rolled my eyes, but couldn't deny the appeal of spending the night with Drew.

I asked, my curiosity piqued."Nope," he said with a laugh.I couldn't resist playfully hitting him. "You're such a jerk!" I said, grabbing a slice of pizza."Am I?" he asked, still grinni

    I woke up the next morning to the inviting scent of hot chocolate coffee and toast. As I slowly opened my eyes, I took in my surroundings and realized that I was in Drew's room. It was a luxurious master bedroom, with a touch of black, silver, and purple designs that exuded a regal feel. The curtains were a rich black color with intricate silver designs that added a touch of elegance to the room.The walls were painted in a pristine white color that complemented the black and silver furnishings beautifully. There was a silver chandelier hanging above the bed, it was an exquisite piece that caught my eye immediately. The bed itself was incredibly soft, and I couldn't resist sitting on it for a few moments before getting up.Next to the bed, there was a white bean bag that looked incredibly comfortable, and I made a mental note to try it out later.As I got up from the bed, I noticed Drew's black closet with silver drapings. It was a sleek and modern design that added to the overall

    Drew picked up a grape from the tray and delicately placed it in my mouth. I felt a flutter in my chest.

The grape burst in my mouth, filling my senses with a sweet and juicy flavor that made my taste buds dance with joy.As I swallowed, I gazed into Drew's eyes, and I felt a rush of emotions wash over me.

    I took a bite and savored the delicious flavors. "Wow, this is amazing, Drew! How did you learn to cook like this?" I asked, impressed.Drew chuckled softly, his lips curling into a small smile. "Let's just say I had ample time to hone my culinary skills during my college years," he explained, his tone light and casual. "Cooking has always been a passion of mine, and it's also a great stress-reliever for me. There's something therapeutic about chopping vegetables and creating something delicious out of simple ingredients."He paused for a moment, taking a deep breath before continuing. "I find that cooking allows me to escape from the stresses of everyday life and immerse myself in the moment. It's a form of meditation for me, really." He shrugged his shoulders, a slight grin still playing on his lips. "Plus, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of watching someone enjoy a meal that I've prepared with my own hands."As I listened to him talk about his love for cooking, I felt

    "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 .
