After One Reckless Night; A Secret Binds Us

"Did you really think you could run from me forever.....after the way I touched you that night?" he growled, his hands pinning her wrists above her head, eyes dark with intensity as they drank her in. "You became mine from the second I touched you....and no amount of time or distance will change that. And you need to understand the consequences of crossing path with me."
Her breath hitched.
She hated the way her body remembered him—how his voice alone could shatter her defenses. His touch burned through the fabric of time, pulling at memories she’d fought to bury. Every word he spoke sent a shiver down her spine, curling heat in places she’d sworn had long gone numb.
But it wasn’t just desire.
It was fear.
Fear of what he made her feel. Fear of the truth she hadn’t told him. Fear that if she let him in again, she might never find the strength to walk away.
As the past and old enemies resurface and buried secrets begin to unravel, Kimberly is forced to confront the past she tried so hard to forget. But with every truth revealed, the danger grows—and so does the temptation to fall again.
Caught between betrayal, obsession, and a love that refuses to die, Kimberly must fight to protect the one thing she swore to keep safe.
Because some sins don't stay buried.
And some passions are impossible to escape.

Chapter: Chapter 114: Birthday GirlThe late afternoon sun swept through the tall windows of the Harrington family home, bathing every object with a soft golden glow over the sunroom that overlooked the sprawling rose garden. Three years had passed since that perfect spring wedding, and the estate had transformed in the most wonderful ways. A new swing set stood beneath the old oak tree, painted in soft pink and white. A small vegetable patch-Keira's proud project, bloomed with cherry tomatoes and colorful marigolds. And in the distance, a gentle white pony grazed lazily in the fenced paddock, its name (Sparkles) painted on a wooden sign in wobbly five-year-old handwriting.Inside, the air smelled of fresh vanilla cake and wildflowers.Kimberly stood at the kitchen island, carefully piping pale blush frosting onto a three-tiered birthday cake. Her hair was loosely tied back, a few strands escaping to frame her face, and she wore a simple sundress that hugged her gently rounded belly. At six months pregnant with their

Chapter: Chapter 113: To The Rest Of Our LivesA FEW WEEKS LATER ~~ THE WEDDINGThe late spring sun bathed the sprawling rose garden of Bryce’s countryside estate in a soft, glow. Fairy lights twinkled from the trees and along the elegant flower arch, were ivory garden roses, blush ranunculus, and delicate spirea intertwined with sage greenery. Rows of white chairs held their intimate circle of about a hundred guests—close friends, family, and a handful of trusted associates, who watched with warm smiles as the string quartet played a gentle, romantic melody.Keira, looking like an absolute princess in her blush-pink tulle gown with sparkling accents and a crown of tiny roses, walked ahead of Kimberly as the flower girl. She took her role very seriously, at first. With a small white basket in hand, she scattered rose petals mixed with gold confetti in dramatic handfuls, twirling once or twice for good measure. The guests chuckled softly at her theatrical flair.Then came Kimberly, radiant in her off-the-shoulder A-line gown. The

Chapter: Chapter 112Bryce hadn’t said anything right away when he heard it. He had simply frozen, his gaze snapping to Kimberly’s face, searching her expression to see if she had heard the same thing he had. He needed to be sure it wasn't a hallucination brought on by the stress of the afternoon.And now, a full hour later, it was still sinking in, slow and deep, like warm water you don’t realize is rising until it’s already up to your chest.Pregnant.His thumb kept moving in these slow, gentle circles over the back of her hand. Over and over again, the same little motion, like he needed that steady rhythm just to keep himself grounded in the moment.Kimberly caught him staring and the corners of her mouth lifted just a tiny bit, even after everything that had happened.“You’re staring again,” she whispered, her voice still a little soft and tired.Bryce didn’t even bother pretending he wasn’t.“Didn’t plan on stopping,” he said quietly, a small smile tugging at his lips. “I just found out my wife is ca

Chapter: Chapter 111: Going To Be Parents Again**********Bryce was in the middle of a high-stakes board meeting when his phone buzzed with a frantic text from Cindy. He didn't bother to read the whole thing, the first few words were enough to stir something in him. “Your wife is having a breakdown. Her dad showed up.”The instant he read that, he left the meeting without a word to his directors.In just few minutes, he was in the estate of his mansion. The sight that greeted him when he entered the house, stoped him dead in his tracks. Kimberly was huddled on the couch, looking nothing like the woman he saw this morning before leaving for work. Her mascara had left dark tracks down her pale cheeks. She looked so small and haunted.Bryce was across the room in just two strides, dropping to his knees in front of her. He didn’t care about his custom suit or the fact that she was trembling so hard he could feel it.“Kim,” he said, his voice a low, dangerous rumble. He took her

Chapter: Chapter 110: A Life That Doesn't Include YouThe boutique, which seconds ago felt like a sanctuary of lace and laughter, suddenly felt like a tomb. Kimberly didn’t move. She couldn't. Her reflection, once a vision of a “garden fairy,” now looked like a ghost. That couldn't be her dad, right?Someone tell her it wasn't her father she was staring at right now. But reality soon sank back into her, reminding her she was looking at exactly the man she thought she was hallucinating.He looked older, his hair was silvered now, and his posture slightly stooped, but the eyes were the same. The same eyes that had looked at her years ago, and had told her she was getting married, and had given her no room for protest. Raymond was holding a small, weathered envelope in his trembling hands, looking entirely out of place amidst the ivory silk and expensive champagne.“Kimberly,” he croaked. The sound of her name in his voice was like sandpaper on a raw wound.The spell broke

Chapter: Chapter 109: Saying Yes To The Dress~~ A FEW DAYS LATER ~~Cindy sat on a plush velvet chaise nearby, her legs crossed, with a glass of champagne in hand and a huge grin on her face as she sipped from her glass, her eyes never leaving her best friend who stood on the raised platform in front of a three-way mirror, her hands smoothing over the delicate fabric of the dress she currently had on. It was a romantic off-the-shoulder A-line gown with intricate lace appliqués that looked like delicate vines and wildflowers climbing up the bodice and cascading gently down the skirt. The lightweight chiffon flowed effortlessly, moving with her like a soft breeze, ideal for an outdoor ceremony at the countryside estate that she and her “fiance” had agreed on. A subtle blush undertone in the lace gave it that whimsical garden feel without being overly sweet.“Oh my God, Kim,” Cindy breathed, fanning herself dramatically. “That’s the one. I’m calling it. You look like a literal garden fairy who decided to become a queen. Bryce is

Chapter: Chapter 08: Try Me“You’ve always been like this, taking what isn’t yours just to prove you can.” Nathaniel spits, his calm finally cracking. “Stay the hell away from Meeka. I’m warning you, Slade. And I’m not going to repeat myself again.”“And you know I’m not in the habit of taking orders from you or anyone,” Slade replies, his voice smooth as ever. “So that works out nicely for both of us.”“Stay. Away. From. My. Fiancee.” Nathaniel warns, counting and meaning every word he lets out. “Touch her again and I’ll destroy you, Slade. Both financially, legally and publicly. I’ll ruin you so completely you won’t even recognize what’s left. I'll expose every little, dirty illegal shitty thing you do in secrets. And I'll make sure to ruin that clean reputation you think you're trying to build.”“I have everything I need to ruin you too,” Slade counters, his voice dropping into a deadly, quiet register. “And unlike you, I don't care if I burn the whole house and everyone down to do it. You’re playing a game y

Chapter: Chapter 081: When She Forgets Your Name ExistsMEEKA'S POV::I excuse myself as soon as I can without making it obvious I’m running. My legs feel unsteady as I push back from the table and murmur something about needing the restroom. Nathaniel gives me a quick, concerned glance, his hand brushing my wrist like he’s trying to anchor me there, but I slip away before he can say anything more. The guilt almost hits me right away, but it leaves before it can even form. Honestly, I'm still trying to understand his sudden attitude towards me lately. He suddenly seems to care, and even has time for me, unlike the ‘busy’ him I've known since I can remember.He’s been trying to be good to me, clearly trying to protect the future we’re supposed to have, and here I am, already halfway lost to his brother. Which I don't even give a damn about anymore.The second the restroom door clicks shut behind me, I finally breathe.Not the polite, measured breaths I’ve been forcing at the table, b

Chapter: Chapter 080: Future-Sister-In-LawI put the phone back down and try to listen to Mr. DeWitt. He’s talking about partnerships and numbers, and our upcoming wedding, ofcourse, but none of it sticks. Not when Slade is sitting right there.“So, Rebel—I mean, Meeka.”I freeze again. This time, he isn't being subtle. He cuts right through whatever his father was saying. Mr. DeWitt stops mid-sentence. His mother’s fork hovers in the air. Slade leans back in his chair, looking way too comfortable. “We haven’t heard much from you tonight,” he says. His tone is casual, but his eyes are intense. “You’ve been very quiet. Everything alright?”My chest feels tight, like it's being tied with a rope, as everyone turns to look at me.“I'm alright. I’ve just been listening,” I say, trying to stay composed. “Mm,” he hums. “You seem like someone who has a lot of opinions, though.”This is so dangerous. “I do,” I say carefully. “Then give us one,” he presses, leaning an elbow on the table. “What do you think about all this?”“All thi

Chapter: Chapter 079: Forget Where We AreMEEKA’S POV::Dinner starts exactly the way I knew it would. It's controlled, precise and suffocating the hell out of me.The clink of silver against china is way too loud in the silence. Everyone’s talking in these perfectly polished sentences, like they’ve been rehearsing their lines all day and I’m the only one who didn’t get the script. Nathaniel is right next to me, as steady as a rock, safe and predictable as always. Across from us, Mr. DeWitt is running the show, steering the conversation from business deals to family alliances like he’s conducting an orchestra.And me? I’m just playing my part. I nod when I’m supposed to. I smile on cue and only speak when someone asks me a direct question. I’m being the perfect fiancée—exactly what they want.For a second, I actually start to relax, realizing soon that there’s one person missing. One person whom they often say usually ruins everything. Slade.He’s not her

Chapter: Chapter 078: That Ridiculous Name AgainThe second text pops up right under the first one:**~ Sexy Devil: I can still taste you on my tongue, Rebel. That sweet little whimper you made when I finally took back control… Fuck, I’m hard just thinking about it. You’ve had your fun wrecking the devil. Now it’s my turn. When next I see you, make sure to wear something easy to rip off. ~**A sharp breath escapes me before I can stop it. Heat pools low in my belly, instant and traitorous, making my thighs clench together under the emerald dress. The silk suddenly feels too tight, and too warm against my skin. I can practically hear his low, rough voice dripping with that dangerous confidence that always manages to unravel me.God, that man is impossible.Even now, while trying to pick the perfect dress for a proper family dinner with my “fiancé” and his powerful family, all I can think about is Slade.He wants me badly.And you know the part that scares me most?

Chapter: Chapter 77: Especially The Filthy OnesMEEKA’S POV::My bedroom looks like a crime scene—except the victims are dresses. They're draped over the headboard, tossed across my unmade bed, and piled onto the vanity chair. Usually, I’m the organized one, but today, the stakes feel high enough to warrant a little domestic chaos. My own apartment, usually my sanctuary, smells like the heavy floral perfume I spritzed an hour ago and the frantic energy of a woman about to walk into a lion’s den.I’m standing in front of my floor-length gilded mirror in nothing but lace set, holding up two options like they might decide my fate tonight.“Which one screams ‘future daughter-in-law’ but also ‘don’t underestimate me’?” I ask, looking at Nora through the reflection. I hold up a sleek black number in my left hand and a deep emerald green in my right. I pivot, frowning at my reflection. "Tell me the truth. Does the black one say 'I'm mourning my freedom' or 'I'm a class act'?"Nora laughs fro
