Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 616

The simmering rage in Bryce's eyes had been churning for far too long. Stomping back into the house, he snatched up the phone, squinting his sinister eyes, and dialed a number. "Audrey, are you asleep? If not, come over to my suite at the wedding hotel!"

"Bryce?!" came Audrey's excited squeak from the other end.

Today, at Bryce's wedding, Audrey's dream of marrying had been shattered. However, the wedding took a dramatic turn when a man caused a scene, and the bride was kidnapped.

This had become the talk of the town in Banyan City.

And now, in the middle of the night, Bryce was calling her, asking her to come over?

Surely he wasn't looking to discuss something serious. As a well-known socialite, she had been subtly trying to get close to Bryce under her family's matchmaking efforts. There was nothing serious for them to talk about... could it be

The thought that it was the dead of night filled her mind with dreams of romance.

Could it be that Bryce, in his rage and disappointment, had turned to her instead?

This could be the perfect opportunity to make her move.

"I've been worried about you, Bryce, I couldn't sleep. Please wait for me, I'll be right there."

Twenty minutes later, Audrey arrived at Bryce's suite, dressed in a sexy mini skirt. Standing in the center of the room, she looked at Bryce, who was coldly seated on the couch, his legs crossed. The usually gentle and refined look in his eyes was now ruthlessly cold in the darkness.

Audrey was startled by his appearance, but at the same time, her heart raced at his handsome, indifferent demeanor.

No matter what was going on with him, she impatiently whined, "Bryce, isn't the air conditioning on? It's so hot in here."

Audrey's voice was coquettish, as she slightly pushed her jacket open, revealing a glittery spaghetti strap dress underneath. The thin fabric almost became transparent under the light, revealing her curves.

Bryce slammed his glass down and stood up, his tall figure looming over her, and he abruptly lifted her chin.

"Audrey, haven't you always liked me?" he asked emotionlessly, a malicious charm flickering in the corner of his eye.

I do like you..." Audrey admitted with a flushed face. This man was mature and capable. Although he wasn't as prominent as the man who had disrupted the wedding earlier, his future in Emperor City was undoubtedly bright. Just a nod from him, and she would willingly climb into his bed, even
