I was lying on the hospital bed when I heard the door open. I turned to see Cullen walking in, and from the look on his face, I knew he was pissed."What the hell happened, Brielle? Why didn't you call me when you fainted back at the mansion?" Cullen asked, his voice laced with anger."I'm sorry, Cullen. I didn't want to bother you," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper."Bother me? You're my fucking wife, Brielle. I need to know when something like this happens to you," he growled."By contract you mean! And besides I didn't think it was a big deal," I said firmly"Of course, it's a big deal, Brielle. You're my wife either by contract or whatsoever," he said, his anger slowly turning into concern.I could see the worry etched on his face, and it made me feel guilty for not calling him."I'm sorry, Cullen. I should have called you," I said, lowering my head.Cullen's face softened, and he came to sit beside me on the bed. He took my hand in his and stroked it gently."It's okay,
"No, no, no.. I'm carrying Drew's child!!!!" I screamed to myselfI couldn't believe what was happening, there was no way I was going to let Drew know though.I didn't want the thought of it to bother me so I just went to have my bath so I could sleep. It was the next morning, I got a text from Ignacio on the hotel we were to meet at. I was grateful Cullen always left early cause I wasn't ready to start explaining my outing.I stretched on my bed, feeling the softness of the sheets against my skin. The pain and discomfort from the hospital visit yesterday seemed like a distant memory. I took a deep breath and sat up, ready to start the day.As I got out of bed, I heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I called out. It was Carla, the housekeeper."Good morning, Miss Brielle. I hope you slept well," Carla greeted me with a smile."I did, thank you. And please, call me Brielle," I replied with a smile."Of course, Brielle. I just wanted to check if you needed anything for breakfast," C
Got downstairs and told Carla I was leaving already, she bade me goodbye and I opened the door of the mansion.Cullen's driver as usual was waiting for me but I told him I would prefer to take a cab. I couldn't let him drop me off at a hotel, he'd definitely inform Cullen and I didn't want that."But ma'am, sir Cullen gave me clear instructions to take you wherever you wanted to go to ma'am" he said to me calmly."I'm aware but I choose to use a cab and perhaps I'm going to my fashion store. It's no big deal trust me, just take the day off" as I said to him, my cab arrived."See? It's here already. Don't worry, I'll be fine.. it's just the pregnancy hormones " I said smiling as I strutted my way to the cab I ordered.Cullen's driver tried to convince me further but I didn't bulge.I gave the cab driver the address I was headed to. Then I sat back to relax.. I didn't know what to expect from Ignacio, I hoped he wouldn't ask questions I didn't have answers to.I took a deep breath and
"I'll be at the reception while I allow you to get dressed" Ignacio said as he left the room.I smiled as he left. I locked the door behind him and started to undress myself, I started with removing my black pants and then removed my silk top.I brought out the gown from the box to take a look at it to know if I would remove my bra or not.As I took the gown out of the box, my breath caught in my throat. It was absolutely stunning. The dress was made of a luxurious black silk material and was encrusted with tiny black stones that sparkled in the light. The back of the dress was a showstopper, with a deep V shape that was held together by delicate straps. The front of the dress had an opening that revealed a hint of my cleavage, but it was still elegant and not too revealing.I quickly removed my bra and slipped into the dress.I decided to go without a bra since the back was open and it wouldn't look good with any bra showing. I carefully slipped the dress over my head and let it f
The hall was abuzz with activity, and the sound of clinking glasses and chatter filled the air.As I settled into my chair, I noticed a young man staring at me from the table across the room. He was handsome, with chiseled features and bright blue eyes, but I pretended not to notice him, focusing on my drink instead.After a few minutes, I felt a presence approaching me and looked up to see the same young man standing in front of my table. He had a charming smile on his face as he introduced himself."Hi there, I'm James. I couldn't help but notice you from across the room. Would you mind if I joined you for a drink?"I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. Ignacio was still deep in conversation with some other guests and I didn't want to do anything to upset him, but I couldn't deny the attraction I felt towards this handsome stranger."Sure, why not," I said, trying to sound casual.James pulled up a chair and we started chatting, the conversation flowed effortlessly b
On getting back to the hotel, he tried to persuade me to stay the night with him but I had to come up with an excuse."I have work Ignacio, the store would be up and running very soon and I really do not want my partners thinking I'm not credible enough to handle it" I said, and hoped he bought it."Just this night Brielle?" He asked me again."Are you really trying to be inconsiderate mi amor?" I said stroking his beards."Not at all Mon bebe" he said as he smiled warmly."So let me go, I'll be back to Spain very soon" I said.He nodded as he gestured for me to come down. I smiled and got down and he followed, he smiled warmly at me then went into the hotel.I stood at the entrance of the hotel and flagged down a taxi. I got in and told the driver my destination.On returning to the hotel, Ignacio made one last attempt to persuade me to stay the night with him. He leaned in close, his voice filled with longing. But I had to stand my ground and come up with an excuse that he would b
With a mix of curiosity and trepidation, I reached the door of my room and turned the handle, stepping into the familiarity of my sanctuary. The soft scent of lavender filled the air, bringing a sense of solace and tranquility.As I entered, I caught a glimpse of something on the dresser—a handwritten note. I hurriedly made my way towards it, my hands trembling slightly as I picked it up. Unfolding the delicate paper, my eyes scanned the words, revealing a message from Cullen.The note spoke of his unexpected departure, explaining the urgent matters that had required his attention. He expressed how sorry it was for him to be leaving impromptu and promised to return as soon as possible. Sighing softly, I set the note down, realizing that I had a choice to make. I could let uncertainty and worry consume me, or I could embrace the solitude of the mansion, cherishing the moments of self-reflection and personal growth. With determination in my heart, I decided to make the most of this
As I closed my eyes, ready to drift off into a peaceful slumber, a soft breeze wafted through the open window, carrying with it the scent of blooming flowers. The moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow across the room.I let my mind wander, picturing the future I had envisioned for myself. The fashion line I had worked so hard to build, the store Cullen had generously provided me, and the upcoming launch that awaited me. Excitement and anticipation coursed through my veins.I mentally rehearsed my plans for the launch, visualizing the vibrant atmosphere, the guests mingling with excitement, and the stunning display of my creations. I felt a surge of confidence, knowing that this was my moment to shine.But amidst all the dreams and aspirations, I also reminded myself of the importance of balance. The need to nurture my relationships, to take moments of respite, and to cherish the simple joys that life had to offer.As I let go of my thoughts, my body relax
"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 .
