All Chapters of The Secret Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I woke up early that morning, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves as I prepared to leave for Spain. I was to meet Drew at the Airport but as I hurriedly finished my last minute packing, I didn't realize I dropped my purse behind. I was supposed to leave the mansion at 7am, and with our flight scheduled for 11am, I had plenty of time to make it to the airport.I grabbed my laptop and headed towards the door, but as soon as I stepped outside, I realized that I had forgotten something inside. "Oh no, I left my purse in the living room," I said, feeling a wave of panic wash over me."Go ahead, I'll wait for you outside," Drew said reassuringly.I ran back inside the mansion, and up to my room, my heart pounding in my chest as I hurriedly searched for my purse. As I was about to leave, I saw my purse on the counter and breathed a sigh of relief. But just as I picked it up and went downstairs and was about to leave, I collided with someone.It was Cullen's ex-wife, Jessica. I recogniz

The next morning, I woke up to the sound of Drew humming softly. I turned towards him and found him staring at me with a smile on his face. "Good morning, beautiful," he said, his voice rough with sleep. I couldn't help but blush at his words. "Good morning," I replied, returning the smile. Drew leaned in and brushed his lips against mine. The way he looked at me made me feel like the only woman in the world, and I never wanted this moment to end. But eventually, we had to get up and start our day. We got dressed and headed out for breakfast, eager to continue exploring the beautiful city of Madrid. As we walked through the streets, he took my hand and pulled me close to him. "Brielle," he said, "I know this might sound crazy, but I can't imagine going back to New York without you by my side. Will you stay in Spain with me?" I couldn't help but burst out laughing at Drew's proposal. "As much as I would love to stay with you in Spain, you know that's not possible," I said with a s

Drew stepped in, his tone calm and measured. "Can you tell us more about these changes?" he asked. "We need to understand what we're agreeing to before we can sign anything." Our partner nodded, relieved to have a chance to explain. He went over the changes in detail, outlining the new clauses and their implications. As he spoke, I felt my anxiety slowly start to dissipate. Drew and I exchanged a glance, silently communicating our resolve to see this through. After a few more minutes of discussion, we finally reached an agreement that everyone was happy with. We signed the documents and shook hands, feeling a sense of relief and accomplishment wash over us. As we walked out of the boardroom, I felt a sense of gratitude and admiration for Drew. He had remained calm and focused throughout the entire process, never losing sight of our goals or getting distracted by the challenges we faced. I leaned in resisting the urge to kiss him, "Thank you for always being there for me," I wh

We got to our room and I kept wondering to myself, who was that guy? Why did he want us dead?? I didn't have any enemies in Spain, or were they after Drew?The questions kept playing in my head over and over again, it was as if I was going crazy. Drew had stepped out of the room to request for a hot bath for me from the maintenance staff.As he got back I ran to him and hugged him, I couldn't stop shaking"I'm scared Drew" I said to him in a shaky voice"It's alright Brielle, it's over now" he said in a reassuring tone"But how do you know it's over? Who was that guy and why was he after us??" I asked with concern written all over my face."Honestly Brielle, I do not know" he said with sincerity in his eyes as he withdrew from the embrace and held me with his two hands on my shoulder,"But what I do know is that we've reported to the police and they would do something about it, we just have to be patient okay?"I nodded "yeah, yeah of course"He pulled me back into a tight hug and wh

We got to the airport and boarded our flight, Cullen had arranged everything already. We had called him earlier before leaving the hotel to inform him about the latest turn of events. As we got on board, I decided to ask him about what Cullen's mum had to do with all these since he asked earlier if I had met her before. When I answered he said he'd tell me later, now seemed like the best time to ask again,"Hey.." I called out to him, my voice a little above a whisper "Yeah? Are you alright??" He asked, I could sense concern in his voice"I'm fine Drew, I just wanted to ask how Cullen's mum is related to all these?" I asked staring at him with eagerness"Hmm.." he took a deep breath as he responded " My Aunt sees Dionne as the perfect bride for my cousin and is blind to any wrong she does"I nodded waiting for him to go on,"My own conclusion is that, she might have seen you that night as you said and as she left, went straight to Dionne to tell her about you" he said looking at me
