As I approached the grand Mansion, a sense of familiarity washed over me. With a steady stride, I climbed up the stairs to my room and collapsed on my plush bed, taking a moment to catch my breath.Suddenly, Cullen's voice echoed from a dark corner in my room, causing my heart to skip a beat. I leapt from my bed in surprise, barely managing to stutter out, "Wha-what are you doing here?""I'm sorry to have startled you," Cullen replied, flicking on the light switch. "I've been waiting for you."As he scanned my appearance, his words trailed off for a moment before he finally said, "You look... different."I took a deep breath and explained, "I went to visit Drew at the hospital. I wanted to be comfortable, you know, just in case I had to sit there for hours. Plus, I've been wanting to try out this look for a while now."Cullen nodded understandingly, and I felt relieved. I was glad he wasn't judging me for my outfit choice.He came closer to me, a soft smile playing on his lips. "We

The steamy air filled our lungs as we continued to explore each other, our bodies moving in perfect harmony.I felt a rush of pleasure course through me as he pressed his body against mine.As we stepped out of the shower, droplets of water still glistening on our skin,"You're gonna make me late for work, Brielle," he said with a smile.I couldn't resist teasing him. "Really? Coming from someone who was staring at me butt naked from his sleep," I replied with a grin.He chuckled, his eyes tracing over my curves. "C'mon, you did what you did on purpose," he said, his voice low and husky.I arched an eyebrow, pretending to be innocent. "Did I?"

I emerged from the grand mansion, descending the staircase with grace. Adorned in my two piece outfit that exuded boss lady vibes, I felt empowered and confident, embodying the CEO role that I had always envisioned for myself. As I took in my surroundings, I realized that everything was finally falling into place.Just then, the driver of Cullen's vehicle opened the car door for me, acknowledging my presence with a polite greeting."Good morning, ma'am Brielle. You look stunning," he remarked, maintaining a professional demeanor."Thank you so much," I replied with a smile, settling into the luxurious G-wagon that Cullen had generously left for me to use in going around New York City.I reached out to my interior designer and informed her that I would be arriving at the site shortly. "Hello, it's me. Just wanted to let you know that I'm almost at the site," I said into my phone."Great, I'll be there shortly," she responded on the other end of the line."Perfect, thank you. See you

As the meeting drew to a close, Cullen turned to me and requested that I stay behind while the other directors filtered out of the boardroom, leaving just the two of us, along with his PA."Could you excuse us?" Cullen directed to his assistant, to which she promptly replied with a warm smile, "Of course Mr. Cullen."With her exit, Cullen shifted his focus back to me, and I tried my best to maintain my composure, so as not to show any sign of intimidation under his gaze."So, that's a wrap?" I confidently asked."I suppose so, Brielle. Thank you for everything," he replied in a calm and relaxed tone, which caught me off guard, as I had expected a more stern response.I quickly changed the topic to avoid any awkwardness, "Wow, Drew would be so happy."Speaking of Drew, Cullen then informed me that he had been discharged from the hospital earlier that morning. "I thought I should let you know, since you both were quite close during the project," he said in a relaxed manner.Feeling cau

The table was made of polished wood, with a glossy finish that glimmered in the dim light of the mansion's dining room.Each place setting was adorned with the finest of silverware, intricately crafted with a design that was almost too delicate to touch. The plates were made of delicate porcelain, adorned with intricate golden trimmings that sparkled under the light of the chandelier above.In the center of the table stood a grand candelabra, its many candles casting a warm glow over the entire room. The floral centerpiece was arranged with the utmost care, with a variety of vibrant blooms that added a touch of color and elegance to the setting.I could tell that every detail of the table setting had been carefully thought out and executed to perfection.

As I prepared to make my way downstairs, my attention was suddenly drawn to my hair. With a touch, I realized that I had forgotten to style it. A wave of frustration washed over me, and I muttered a curse to myself in annoyance.I swiftly retreated back to my dressing table to tend to my hair. I deftly removed the ribbon that had previously held my silk black hair in place, allowing my luscious black silk straight hair to cascade down my shoulders in a smooth and elegant manner. Instead of packing my hair, I let it rest gracefully on my shoulders, framing my face in a flattering way. To achieve a sleek and polished look, I created a subtle side parting and carefully ran my straightener through each section of hair. As I worked, I took the time to ensure that each strand was perfectly straight, resulting in a smooth and sophisticated hairstyle that I was proud to wear.As I glanced over the array of heels before me, I made the decision to settle on a striking red pair. Despite th

Drew chimed in, expressing his regret about not being able to see the project through to the end. But Cullen reassured him, Drew suddenly spoke up, "I really wish I could have seen that project through to the end." Cullen reached across the table to pat Drew's hand reassuringly. "Hey man, it wasn't your fault. Things happen that are out of our control. Don't beat yourself up about it." Drew let out a deep sigh, "I know, but it's hard not to feel like I let the team down." Cullen shook his head, "You didn't let anyone down. We all know how hard you worked on that project. Sometimes things just don't go according to plan." I chimed in, "Exactly, Drew. You didn't cause or plan for that accident to happen, the most important thing right now is that you're alive and safe." Drew looked up at me and smiled gratefully, "Thanks, Brielle. You guys are right. I just need to remember that and not beat myself up about it." Cullen nodded in agreement, "Exactly, Drew." Drew then turned his a

I wanted to reciprocate his feelings, but the nagging thought of betraying Evie held me back once again. "I do have feelings for you, Drew," I wanted to say, but the fear of causing more harm to Evie kept haunting me."You don't love me, Brielle," Drew's voice was deep and firm."It's not that, Drew...I just..." I struggled to explain myself, my words faltering."It's okay, I understand," Drew replied, as he withdrew himself from me.He stood up and walked away, a wave of guilt washed over me. I knew I had hurt him, but I also knew that I couldn't simply disregard Evie's feelings.Days passed by and I couldn't stop thinking about Drew, Cullen had gone on his trip and I was left alone in the big mansion.

As I arrived at the park, It was a nearby park. I noticed the beautiful scenery around me. The trees were tall and the air was crisp, making for a perfect setting for our conversation. I told Cullen's driver to let me drive myself, one couldn't be careful enough. I didn't want him snooping around to Cullen when he got back so I decided to wade him off in time.I took a deep breath and walked towards our meeting spot, As I scanned the park, my eyes caught sight of Drew sitting on a bench at a distance. Although his back was facing towards me, his sturdy and well-built silhouette immediately caught my attention. I walked towards him and touched his shoulder, he was startled for a minute."Brielle" he said, breathing out in relief "you startled me.." "I'm, I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to" I said sincerely."It's alright, have a seat" he said gesturing towards the bench.I sat and looked at the scenery of the park, I remembered the last time we were here and how close he held me to him
