The Secret Wife Chapter 33
"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
The Secret Wife Chapter 34
I woke up feeling much better. Evie had already gone and it was just I and Carla in the mansion. As Drew hadn't called me yet, I decided to ask Carla some questions that could really be of help to me.I made my way down the grand staircase and headed towards the kitchen, where Carla was preparing dinner. The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air, and I felt my stomach growl in anticipation. Carla greeted me with a warm smile and offered me a slice of bread with jam spreaded on top, which I gladly accepted.As I took a bite of the warm, buttery bread with sweet jam, memories flooded my mind. The aroma of freshly baked bread was a familiar scent that reminded me of my childhood. I remembered how my father used to wake up early every Sunday morning to bake bread for I and my mum. He would mix the ingredients in a large bowl, knead the dough, and let it rise. Then, he would shape it into loaves and bake them in the oven until they were golden brown and perfectly crispy.The sme

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

It was night time and we were to all have dinner together but Drew couldn't join us. He said he had something to do on his phone.I sat at the dining table as I waited for Carla to serve my dinner, shortly after Cullen came in to join me."Where's Drew?" He asked immediately"Said he can't join us, he's busy with something on his phone" I said casually"Carla" he called out "Yes sir" Carla came in rushing"When you're done serving us, take Drew's dinner to his room for him. He won't be joining us tonight""Alright sir" she said as she walked back to the kitchen.I wondered what Drew wanted to do that couldn't wait till after dinner. But my thoughts were quickly interrupted as Cullen spoke up."I know you hired a private investigator while you were in Spain," he said, his eyes fixed on me.I felt my heart skip a beat. How could he know that? I and Drew had been so careful to keep it a secret."How... how did you know?" I stammered, my mind racing.Cullen simply shrugged. "Let's just s

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

"Why would you think I'd take a drastic action without talking to you about it first?" I asked with hurt in my voice "I thought we were a team Drew. What happened?" "I'm sorry, we're still a team Brielle." He said "I don't think so anymore" I said as I stood up to leaveHe rushed and blocked the door, stopping me from leaving his room. "Drew let me through.. " I said avoiding his gazeHe looked at me with a pained expression, and I could see the guilt in his eyes. "Please, Brielle. Just hear me out." He pleaded, moving aside to give me some space.I took a deep breath and reluctantly sat back down on the bed. He took a seat next to me and began to explain his actions. He had been under a lot of stress lately, and he didn't want to burden me with his problems. He thought he could handle it on his own, but it had all become too much."I should have talked to you about it, I know. I'm sorry." He said, reaching out to hold my hand. "But I promise, Brielle, we're still a team. I need
The Secret Wife Chapter 39
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

I walked into the salon with a sense of excitement, looking forward to a much-needed hair transformation. As I approached the reception desk, the stylist greeted me with a warm smile and asked how he could help."I was hoping to try something new today," I said, gesturing to my long hair. "Maybe something fun and trendy?"The stylist's eyes lit up. "I have just the thing," he said, leading me over to his chair.I settled into a comfortable chair and watched as the stylist got to work.He started by washing and conditioning my hair, working the products into my scalp with a relaxing massage. As he worked, we chatted about everything from our favorite Broadway shows to the latest celebrity gossip.Once my hair was clean and dry, the stylist began sectioning it off and working his magic. He started by teasing my hair at the crown to create volume, then carefully braiding two small sections at the back of my head.Next, he formed the braids into two low buns, securing them with bobby p
