The Secret Wife Chapter 10
After hours of listening to Cullen's PA drone on and on about the project, I was exhausted. Drew, who had been sitting next to me the whole time, must have felt the same way because as soon as the PA left, he turned to me and said, "Do you want to go hang out and unwind?"I nodded, grateful for the invitation. We needed to take our minds off work and just relax for a little while. Drew was seemed like good company, and I felt comfortable around him, so I knew that hanging out with him would be the perfect way to destress.We made our way to a bar that Drew knew, and he ordered us both a drink. As we sipped on our cocktails, Drew asked me, "Where did you learn to speak French so fluently? I heard you speaking to Evie before leaving your party the first time we met."I smiled, remembering my wedding party with Cullen that had brought us together. "I love to explore and learn new things," I said. "French is just one of the many languages I've picked up over the years."Drew looked im

As the insistent knocking on the door continued, I found myself panicking. Drew had to hide in my closet as I faked a sleepy voice to mask the tumult of emotions raging within me."Who's there?" I managed to ask, feigning a yawn in hopes of sounding convincing."It's me, ma'am," came Carla's voice, the maid. "Sir Cullen asked me to call you to his study. He wants to discuss something with you."My heart raced as I considered the implications of being summoned by my husband, who was nothing more than a contractual obligation. I needed to buy some time to figure out how to deal with the situation."I'll be there in a few minutes," I replied coolly, still not opening the door for her. "Let me wash up first."Carla's footsteps faded away, and I breathed a sigh of relief. "Drew," I whispered urgently. "Come out, she's gone."He emerged from the closet, holding his shirt and trousers in his hands. "Damn, that was close," he said, rushing to dress up."I don't regret it, though," I said to

I hesitated for a moment before answering, unsure of what to say to Ignacio. I hadn't spoken to him in weeks, not since after the wedding party with Cullen."Hey.." I said, trying to sound casual."Brielle, mi amor, how are you?" he asked in his thick Spanish accent."I'm fine," I said, avoiding the question. "Seems like business ain't moving too busy today huh?" "Ofcourse it is, I just wanted to hear your voice," he said, his tone softening. "I miss you, Brielle. When are you coming back to Spain?""Oh.. mi amor, I miss you more than you can ever Imagine but as you know I've been working on my fashion line here, it's really hectic and time consuming" I said, my voice not sounding too convincing as my mind was racing. I couldn't tell my husband about the mess I'd gotten myself into. How could I explain that I was stuck in a contract marriage to a man I barely knew all because of money?"Brielle, is everything okay?" Ignacio asked, his voice tinged with concern.I hesitated for a mom

I had left for the office early in the afternoon, and I was surprised to see Cullen still at home when I returned. He greeted me with a smile and asked me how the project was going."How's the project coming up Brielle?" He asked, his eyes still fixated on his laptop."So far so good, nothing to worry about" I replied still trying to understand what was going on and why he wouldn't look at me. "About what we discussed yesterday," My heart skipped as I heard him bring up yesterday's discussion"Have you thought it it through?" He asked, finally pausing to look at me.I was about to respond when he cut me off, saying, "I understand if you don't want the paparazzi hounding us, especially when our marriage isn't even real." He went on, "I've decided to keep you off the paparazzi's radar. We'll only attend events that are private enough to let people think we're really married, feeding their thoughts." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. But at the same time, a part of me felt rel

I walked into the office, trying to keep my composure as I saw Drew already seated at the conference table. We had briefly greeted each other with our eyes, trying not to make it too obvious that we were both attracted to each other. But, the tension between us was palpable, and it was only a matter of time before it boiled over.The meeting was brief but practical. We were working on one of the biggest shoe stores in New York, and Cullen had brought me onboard not only because he trusted me but because he knew I was in the line of fashion and could contribute some ideas. It was a huge project and we had to meet with some investors who had shown some interest in the project and convince them to sign the contract as soon as possible.We had sent out the contract to them for over a week now, but we hadn't received any response. So Cullen's PA had suggested we go in person as that might put some pressure on them. Who knows? Before we got back, they might have signed and sent it back t

As I walked into the bar, my eyes widened as I took in the opulence around me. The golden lights glittered overhead, casting a warm glow over the sleek and modern decor. The dance floor was pristine, polished to a shine that seemed to rival the stars above."Drew, this place is incredible!" I exclaimed, turning to Drew with a grin.He smirked, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I thought you'd like it. It's one of my favorite spots in the city."I couldn't help but chuckle at the knowing look in his eyes. There was a spark between us, one that we both knew was dangerous but impossible to ignore.As we sat down at the bar, Drew ordered us each a drink. "I'll have a Manhattan," he said smoothly to the bartender. "And for the lady, a French 75."I raised an eyebrow, impressed by his knowledge of cocktails. "You, for sure know your drinks," I said, taking a sip of the delicious concoction he had ordered for me.Drew grinned, his gaze never leaving mine. "I like to think of myself as a b

As Evie appeared, I felt a sudden pang of jealousy. I knew she had a thing for Drew, but what I didn't know was if Drew was interested in her too. I wondered what she was doing here, and why she chose this exact moment to show up. "Hey Brielle!!" Evie said, her voice laced with excitement. "Hey Drew.. What are you guys doing here?" "We stepped out to unwind a bit, I don't know if I told you Evie, but I and Drew are working on a project for Cullen" I replied, trying to sound casual. "Oh wow, That's cool. Mind if I join you?" Evie asked, glancing at Drew. "Sure, why not," Drew said, shrugging his shoulders. I tried not to let it bother me, but I could feel Evie's eyes on Drew the entire time. She laughed at all of his jokes, and leaned in close to him whenever she got the chance. It was obvious she was trying to get his attention, and it made me feel uncomfortable. But I didn't say anything. As the night wore on, I found myself growing more and more frustrated. I couldn't believ

There was a brief moment of awkward silence as we both sized each other up. I could sense a hint of disapproval in her gaze, as if she were judging me for some reason. I wondered if it was because of our contract marriage but I doubted Cullen said anything to her about it, or was there something else that she disapproved of? I wondered to myself.. "Is something wrong?" I asked tentatively, breaking the silence. The woman hesitated for a moment before responding. "No, no. Nothing's wrong. I just wasn't expecting to see you here." I could sense that there was more to her words than what she was saying. "What do you mean?" I asked, trying to sound casual. She let out a small sigh. "I suppose it's just a bit of a shock, that's all. I wasn't aware that Cullen had gotten married so suddenly." I was right, Cullen had not told her anything about our Contract marriage. "Yes, it was a bit sudden," I admitted. "But we're making it work." The woman nodded, her expression softening slight

"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 .
