"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
As I strutted off my private jet at the airport, the cool New York breeze hit my face like a welcome slap in the face. I took a deep breath and looked around. Hmph, it's been a hot minute since I've been in this concrete jungle.I could feel the chill in the air. It was a stark contrast to the warm, sunny weather in Los Angeles. I grabbed my luggage and sauntered towards the exit, my boots clicking on the floor like a boss lady. The scent of coffee and fresh croissants tickled my nose, and I couldn't resist the temptation. I walked over to the nearest coffee shop and ordered a double shot of espresso and a chocolate croissant. Yum, it tasted like heaven.As I continued my walk towards the exit, I couldn't help but smile at the memories flooding my mind. I remember the last time I was in New York, I was young and wild, modeling and partying with my friends. Ah, those were the days.But now, I'm all grown up, running my own fashion line with Ignacio's money and taking the world by sto
I rummaged through my luggage, searching for the perfect dress to wear tonight. I wanted something that would make heads turn, something that would catch the eye of everyone in the room. Even though I was broke, I refused to let anyone know. After all, a girl's gotta maintain her reputation, am I right?I pulled out a few dresses and tossed them aside, not feeling satisfied with any of them. But then, I saw it. A beautiful, black dress with just the right amount of sparkle. It was tight in all the right places and showed off my curves perfectly. I grinned to myself, knowing that this dress was the one.I slipped into the dress and twirled around in front of the mirror. My pigtails bounced as I spun, and I couldn't help but laugh at my reflection. I may not have a lot of money, but I had style, and that was worth more than any amount of cash.I grabbed my red and black high-heeled boots and slipped them on, feeling ready to take on the world. I topped off the look with some bright red
As I signed my name on the contract, sealing my fate as Cullen's temporary wife, I couldn't help but smile. The promise of endless wealth and luxury had always been my heart's desire, and now, it was finally within my grasp.Cullen's grin only added to my excitement, and my heart raced as a waiter entered with our food. The aroma of the pasta made my mouth water, and I couldn't wait to indulge in its deliciousness.As I twirled my fork through the noodles, I couldn't help but think of Ignacio, my Spanish husband. He was a big-time wine baron in Spain with multiple wineries across the country and Los Angeles. We had met at a fashion runway in Los Angeles and somehow, we had connected. I couldn't deny that his deep pockets had drawn me to him. We've been married for 13 months.But now, everything had changed. Ignacio's company was running down, and the money wasn't flowing like it used to. I needed a way out, a way to secure my future. And that's when Cullen had come along.As the wai
I stood in front of the mirror, admiring my reflection with a grin on my face. The name Mrs. Cullen had a nice ring to it, and it was a far cry from the name I used to go by. I twirled a strand of my long blonde hair around my finger, feeling a sense of satisfaction wash over me.I was getting ready for Cullen's party, feeling pretty darn excited. It was all for show, of course - our marriage was as fake as my blonde hair, but that didn't mean we couldn't have a little fun with it.I paced back and forth, debating what to wear. I wanted something that said "hot damn", but not "trying too hard". But then, a small frown creased my forehead.Cullen wanted an heir, and I needed to give him one. And then, there was my Spanish husband in Los Angeles. He didn't know what I was up to in New York, and Cullen didn't know I was married.I mean, sure, I wanted to secure my future and all, but the thought of carrying a child for him made me feel so uncomfortable. I had to find a way to handle th
The party was over and it was time to head home.The sound of my Cullen's cousin's laughter echoed in my mind as I began to make my way towards the door. He was charming, young, and handsome, and I couldn't help but feel a spark of attraction towards him.Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought someone could trigger the spark Drew made me feel, could this be what I'm thinking? Or it's still too early to decide that?I knew I had to slow down with these thoughts.. I couldn't wait to get home and shower, the thought of his smile lingering in my mind as I stood in the shower reminiscing about the brief moments we shared at the party. Even though Evie kept cutting in, I couldn't help the way he made me feel just by taking a brief glance at me.I walked majestically towards Evie, swaying my hips from side to side just to get enough attention from Drew, my husband's cousin who was standing just beside Evie. "Evie ma chérie, c'est vraiment dommage mais je vais devoir partir mainte
I opened my eyes to an empty bed, feeling the warmth of the morning sun on my skin. Cullen was gone, but that was of no concern to me. I wasn't attracted to Cullen's looks, just his wealth. I saw him as just a means to an end, a way to fulfill my desires without any emotional attachments.As I got up to take a shower, my mind wandered to Drew. He was unlike anyone I had ever met before. There was something about him that intrigued me, although I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. After my shower, I made my way downstairs for breakfast. Cullen was already there, enjoying his meal with a sense of satisfaction. "Bonjour beau," I said to him with a seductive smile."Bonjour belle," Cullen replied, his eyes fixated on me as if he couldn't get enough.We talked about his business meetings over breakfast, but my mind kept wandering back to Drew. Cullen was just a temporary distraction, but Drew had the potential to be something more, I could feel it. As he stood up to leave, he r
I walked into Cullen's mansion with a few shopping bags in hand, feeling a little tired from the long day of shopping in the bustling New York City.As I made my way up to my room, Cullen's driver offered me a refreshing smoothie he had bought on our way back from the mall. I gladly took it, it was as if he could read my mind at the moment.I was still sipping my smoothie when my phone rang, and to my delight, it was my friend Evie on the other end. "Hey Evie, what's up?" I greeted her warmly."Oh Brielle, it's been such a stressful day at work," she exclaimed. "I could really use a break."I sympathized with her and told her about my day, how I had gone shopping at the biggest mall in the city. Evie was thrilled to hear about my adventure, and she couldn't help but express her envy. "Wow, you're so lucky to have met Cullen," she said. "I wish I could've gone with you."I chuckled and explained that it was a last-minute decision and that I didn't have time to invite anyone. "But don
