The black ink bled onto the neat white page, her name forming in uneven strokes that betrayed just how much her hands shook.

Kimberly’s breath hitched as she lifted the pen, staring at the way her signature seemed so small beneath Bryce’s bold and confident one.

“Congratulations,” the lawyer said, shattering Kimberly's thoughts, her tone curt yet polite as she stacked the documents together. “From this moment forward, you are legally husband and wife.”

Husband and wife.

The words echoed inside Kimberly’s skull, too loud, and too final it made her stomach lurch.

She was married now. Just within the space of twenty four hours, her life had been rewritten.

It was almost laughable, how easily and quickly it had happened.. Too quickly even.

But was she the only one who didn't see this coming? The only who was thinking this happened too fast?

Because Bryce was so nonchalant about it. So calm and collected, like he had this all planned out a long time ago.

    Kimberly pulled up to Bryce's house after the heated moment with Cindy, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as she arrived at the penthouse.She was excited because she knew she wasn't going to be apart from her daughter anymore. And nervous because this whole new marriage thing was overwhelming.She gathered the little things she had gone to pick up, and stepped out of the car, with Nicholas the driver, helping her out.Yes. Bryce had sent his driver over to pick her up."Finally, Mommy's here!" Keira exclaimed, racing towards the front door. Ever since she was told her mom was on her way here, she had been by the door all the while, watching like a hawk.“Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?” Kimberly asked in a teasing voice.“I don't think I can sleep today, Mommy. Never. Not today.” Keira shock her head. That made Kimberly chuckle, then she followed the little girl inside, exchanging a warm greeting with Edna, as she and Keira fully entered the living room together."It

    “There's no damn way you just got married, Kim! What? I don’t believe you.”Cindy’s voice shot through the room like a firecracker, full of disbelief and betrayal, after Kimberly finally spilled what had happened.Kimberly had just gotten home, exhausted from the never-ending day at work and everything that happened today. She also hadn't been able to see Cindy all day at the agency, after they saw each other in the morning, then leaving with Bryce, and now here she was, facing her like a storm waiting to break.“I mean, you left yesterday and didn’t even come home, and now you’re telling me you’re married? Married!” Cindy’s arms flew dramatically in the air as she laughed bitterly. “This is insane, Kim. Absolutely insane.”Her laughter wasn’t joy, it was completely raw, disbelieving mockery. And underneath it all, hurt. Because it wasn’t just anyone Kimberly had married. It was Bryce Harrington. Her boss. No, their boss now.Cindy’s head spun with questions she couldn’t voice fast e

    ****“Good work today, Kimberly,” Vanessa said, sliding some notes back into her folder. “You kept everything on track. I’ll let you know when the next call is. For now, take a break.”“Thank you,” Kimberly replied, smoothing her hair back, though her shoulders still felt tight from holding poses too long.Kimberly had been pulled into one of Vanessa’s assignments since she arrived work and the woman had set eyes on her. She had been helping a handful of models with a small promotional shoot. She’d posed in two different outfits, held smiles for long hours, and even assisted the junior models who couldn’t get their timing right.This woman seemed to enjoy stressing her out every single day since she started modeling at the agency.Was she the only good model here?She wasn't complaining, though. Because as exhausting as Vanessa could be, moments with her always felt cool, even with her strictness and no-nonsense personality.She might not utter it out to her, but Kimberly knew deep d

    The next day morning, Bryce’s car pulled into the Agency's building and slid smoothly into his private parking spot.He didn’t step out right away. He simply sat in there for a little longer, the low hum of the engine being the only sound, before finally killing it and opening the door.Movements from some of the employees who were going through the lobby slowed the moment he stepped out of his car, because he didn't just step out alone, Kimberly did too.Yesterday, Kimberly had slept over at his place, and this morning, Bryce had insisted on driving her to work. She argued, refused to drive with him countless times. But it seemed Bryce's ears were malfunctioning. He didn't listen to her, and here they were.“Is that…?”“She came with him?”“No way did Kimberly just walk out of Mr. Harrington's car.”Whispers from the models around began instantly the moment they saw Kimberly step out from the passengers seat. Kimberly felt the stares prickle against her skin as she adjusted the stra

    Bryce didn’t know what to feel after Kimberly agreed to his proposal.All he knew was that he was happy. Happy because his daughter would no longer be apart from her mother. Happy because Keira would no longer be left wishing for her mom every now and then, but would finally have her right there, every day.Most of all, he was happy because he wouldn’t have to see that sad, gloomy look on Keira’s face anymore, a look that always made his chest tighten with helplessness.A few minutes later, he headed quietly down the hall to check on Nana Ellie. He hadn’t truly sat with her since he got back, and something inside him tugged to do it now.He hesitated at the door for a moment before pushing it open softly.He stepped inside to find her sitting propped against her pillows, her favorite knitted shawl draped over her shoulders, and her thin fingers slowly scrolling through her phone, likely watching some news.Bryce blinked, surprised. Edna had told him Nana was asleep. But here she was,
