《After One Reckless Night; A Secret Binds Us》全部章節：第 91 章 - 第 100 章

By the time Kimberly finished her bath and returned to the bedroom, she expected to find Bryce there, sipping his tea.Instead, the room was empty.“Bryce?” she called softly, tightening the towel around her body.Water droplets slid from the ends of her hair as she walked back into the living room. Her gaze drifted to the bedside table, where two cups sat neatly. Hers was already empty. Bryce’s, barely touched.“God have mercy on this man,” Kimberly sighed, shaking her head as she moved toward the dressing mirror. “Even drinking tea is hard for him.”She applied lotion to her skin, muttering to herself.“Looks like I’ll be forcing him to eat now… like a child. Is he really any different from his daughter? So now I have two humans to monitor.” She scoffed lightly. “And one of them is a full-grown adult.”The thought made her chuckle.Once she was done, she stood and walked to the closet. It didn’t surprise her to find her clothes already there—neatly arranged, separate from Bryce’s.O

Bryce didn’t even realize he’d said it out loud until Landon shot him a mocking look.“Wow,” Landon muttered. “Is this really the ice man I've always known?”Bryce ignored him completely and moved closer to Kimberly with such a slow move, like one wrong step might shatter whatever spell had settled over the room.“Kimberly,” he said quietly. “You look… fuck.” he ran his hand through his hair, eyes fixed on Kimberly body as he ravaged her completely.The urge to grab her right now, and kiss the hell out of her, knock every airhole she possessed, almost took control of him. But he held himself together, not wanting to look like a freak.But maybe he wouldn't stop himself from being a freak when they get home today.That dress woke something in he never knew existed within him.And damn anyone looking at him right now. He didn't care at all. As a matter of fact, there was no one else in the room except Kimberly. She was the only person he could see, everyone else was a complete blur.Kim

Clara didn’t speak to anyone after she stormed out of the rehearsal hall, fury radiating from her. Throughout the rest of the day, she refused to engage with anyone or even participate in rehearsals.In the dressing room, she slowly took off her heels, rubbing the faint red marks around her ankles. It was already dusk, yet the agency was still filled with laughter and other activities that hinted at what tomorrow would hold. But all of that felt distant to her, completely muted.She gazed at her reflection in the mirror, taking in her perfect hair, flawless posture, and overall polished image.A sigh escaped her lips as she looked away.By the time she left the building, night had settled over the city—a quiet, glowing night that made everything appear beautiful from the outside.The ride home in her car was silent.She rested her head against the window, watching streetlights blur past. Tomorrow was meant to be hers: the finale walk, the cameras, and the applause that should have bee

The city felt different that morning of the next day at the agency.Everywhere was loud, every activity moving quite faster than usual. Everything just felt alive in a way that hinted something big was about to happen.By the time Bryce’s car pulled into the agency grounds, the place was already buzzing seriously.The agency staff moved in coordinated chaos. Trucks lined the back entrance, unloading equipment. Assistants of different departments rushed past with headsets and clipboards, calling out instructions. While the security stood at every major point, scanning badges and controlling access, making sure no one entered without being authorized.This wasn’t just another show in the company, this was Harrington’s show, the biggest of the year.Bryce stepped out of the car, adjusting his cufflinks as his sharp gaze swept over everything in seconds.Nothing escaped him for a blink of an eye. From the slight delay at the loading bay, to the misaligned stage panel near the entrance. Ev

The second Kimberly’s heels hit the backstage carpet, the energy slammed into her.It was a wall of voices and hands back inside here.“You kîlled it, Kim!” Vivian rushed to her immediately, pulling her into a tight hug.“That was so insane!”“You're my literal idol, Kimberly Owens!”“Can I get a signature? Please?”“Did you hear that crowd?! They went mental!”It was a mix of her old die-hard fans and the new faces on the crew, all of them raining praises on her. Honestly? She felt like a damn celebrity. A real one.Cindy came charging through the crowd, grabbing Kimberly by the shoulders so hard she nearly tipped over. “Oh. My. God. kimberly! Ahh! Freaking hell!”Kimberly just laughed, her breath coming in short, jagged bursts as the adrenaline finally started to catch up with her blood. “I didn't fall,” she said, sounding like she couldn't quite believe it herself.Cindy stared at her like she was crazy. “Fall? Who said anyone was going to fall? Girl, you didn't just walk, you jus
