All Chapters of The Secret Wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I woke up the next morning with a sharp pain in my head. I didn't know why at first but then I remembered, I had hit my head on the pavement back in Spain when I and Drew were being chased by those unknown men.I knew I had to see the doctor, just to be sure I hadn't sustained any internal injury. There was no way I was going to get there by myself, I needed someone to go with me. No way did I want Cullen to know I wasn't feeling too good, not after the argument we had last night. I managed to get out of bed, brush my teeth and go downstairs to have a quick breakfast. I held my head with my left hand as I walked down the stairs, it was as if everything was spinning.Just as I got down to the last step, I felt dizzy and fainted. My eyes opened and I scanned the environment. I was in a hospital. What was I doing there?The last thing I remembered was that I slipped and fell down on my face, the rest was blank. I didn't think it could have been that serious to be rushed down to a hos

"Coming Evie, just give me a minute" I called out to her as I whispered to Drew to go hide in the closet while I opened the door for Evie.As he went to hide I stood up and went ahead and opened the door for Evie,"Sorry, I forgot you were coming over" I said "I saw Drew's car parked in the driveway, is he around?" She asked with curiosity in her eyes."Drew?" I said trying to sound confused "I thought he left already, he dropped me off from the hospital but I can swear I saw him drive off" "Maybe he forgot something" Evie said with her head faced down like she was trying to figure out something"Hey!" I called her name a bit loud "Did you come to see me or you came for Drew?" I asked rolling my eyes at her"C'mon Brielle, don't be like that" she said laughing."Let's go downstairs, being in this room makes me sick! It's so boring" I said trying to distract her from staying longer in the room because of Drew"You've got a beautiful room and you say it's boring? I can't deal with you

As I pulled up to the grand entrance of the Mansion, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me.We were safe in the mansion for all I knew, and I was determined to keep Drew protected there.I was sure Cullen wouldn't mind, he was his cousin after all.Once we were inside, I led Drew to the guest room and made sure he was comfortable. "I'll be back soon," I said, giving him a reassuring smile. "Just rest and try to relax."As I made my way down the hallway, my mind raced with questions. Who could be after Drew? Could it be the same guy who attacked us back in spain?I knew I needed answers, but how to get those answers was what I didn't know. I headed to Cullen's study to make a call to the PI we hired in Spain. It rang but he wasn't picking up, I tried one last time and he picked up"Hello detective" I said in a serious tone"Hello Ms Brielle, have you gone through the email I sent?" he responded"Yes, yes and so sorry I couldn't get back to you in time. I was waiting

I was making my way towards my room, lost in my thoughts, when I heard Drew's voice. He was speaking in a low tone, which piqued my curiosity. Who was he talking to, and why did he seem so hesitant? I couldn't help but wonder what he was hiding from me.As I reached my room, I tiptoed in, not wanting to draw any attention to myself. I closed the door softly and let out a sigh of relief. I needed some time to clear my head, so I decided to take a warm bath.The water flowed over my skin, and I could feel the tension start to melt away. The warmth of the water soothed my muscles, and I closed my eyes, letting myself drift off into a state of relaxation.After my bath, I wrapped myself in my soft robe and sat down in front of my dressing table to apply my face cream. I suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around me. The scent of Cullen filled the air, and I knew he was here for one reason and one reason only.We both knew what this was – a business transaction, nothing more. But that di

As I stood up to leave, Drew asked if everything was alright"Is everything okay?" "Yeah, yeah everything's fine" I said as I hurriedly got dressed and posed a smile at him before leaving to assure him I was fine.I got to the hallway and immediately dialed Ignacio's number, but he wasn't picking up. I got to my room and locked the door behind me.I paced back and forth in my room, unsure of what to come up with to stop Ignacio from coming to New York. The problem was, I didn't know what he was coming for exactly. If it were to just come see me then It'll be easy to wave him off but if it was a different case, maybe for a business meeting then that'll be very difficult. Ignacio never joked with his business. It'll be hard to convince him not to come to town if that was the case.Unsure of what to do as I kept pacing in my room my phone rang, was in a hurry to pick as I thought it'll be Ignacio returning my call but unfortunately it was Cullen."Hey" he called to me on the phone"Cu
