Elodie staggered under Williams' weight as he leaned heavily against her. His breath reeked of alcohol, and she struggled to keep both of them from collapsing onto the sidewalk. Her heart pounded in her chest as she glanced around, searching for anyone who might help, but the streets were deserted. The evening had long since surrendered to the hush of the night, leaving only the distant hum of passing cars.

With sheer determination, she spotted a bench at the far end of the sidewalk and, step by painstaking step, led him toward it. By the time she lowered him onto the bench, her limbs trembled from the exertion. She bent over, hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath.

Her eyes darted to his pocket. His phone. Maybe she could call someone. She reached in and pulled it out, her fingers working quickly, but the screen lit up with a password prompt. A frustrated sigh escaped her lips.

“Great,” she muttered, shoving it back into his pocket.

Her gaze softened as she crouched in front

  • UNBREAKABLE BOND   74: Reunited

    Williams and Tobias, together with Grace, drove straight to the address where Elodie was being held captive. The journey felt endless despite Grace's directions cutting through back roads and shortcuts that would have been impossible to find without her guidance. Every mile that passed made Williams' anger and desperation build until his entire body was practically vibrating with the need to reach Elodie. His hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles had gone white, and Tobias could see the muscle ticking in his jaw as he drove with single-minded focus. This was a Williams that Tobias rarely saw—a man stripped of his usual controlled demeanor, driven purely by primal need to protect what was his. When they finally pulled up to the isolated house, Williams barely had the car in park before he was reaching for the door handle. But Grace's hand on his arm stopped him momentarily. "Please," Grace pleaded, her voice shaking with anxiety as she looked at Williams'

  • UNBREAKABLE BOND   73: Desperate Negotiations 2

    Williams Storm sat in one of the chairs facing Tobias's desk, his hair still bearing traces of the bandage that had been removed that morning. He looked up as she entered, and Grace felt her breath catch as she found herself face-to-face with the man she had come so far to find. "Williams," she breathed, her eyes widening with shock and recognition. Williams studied her face with the intense concentration of someone trying to place a half-remembered detail. "You look familiar," he said slowly. "Do I know you?" Before Grace could answer, Tobias leaned forward in his chair. "You wanted to see me about Elodie?" Grace turned to look at Tobias, then back at Williams, hardly believing her luck. "Actually, I was hoping you could take me to Williams. But since you're both here..." Tobias raised his eyebrows in surprise. "You came here looking for Williams specifically?" "About Elodie," Williams said, his voice taking on an urgent edge. "His assistant said you know where she really

  • UNBREAKABLE BOND   72: Desperate Negotiations

    Grace felt the shock of betrayal slam into her like a physical blow as she watched the two men drag Elodie's unconscious form back into the house. Her husband had played her perfectly, had allowed her to believe she was helping while orchestrating the entire failed escape as part of some larger, more sinister game. The rage that flooded through her was unlike anything she had ever experienced in their marriage. Grace pushed Griff hard, her hands striking his chest with enough force to make him take a step backward. "How can you be so cruel?" she demanded, her voice breaking with fury and disbelief. "How can you do this to an innocent woman? Have you forgotten that Elodie is pregnant? You're not just tormenting her—you're endangering an unborn child!" Griff looked down at his wife with an expression of mild annoyance, as though her emotional outburst was nothing more than a minor inconvenience. "So?" he said with a casual shrug that made Grace's blood run cold. The dismissive

  • UNBREAKABLE BOND   71: A Step Ahead

    Meanwhile, miles away, Grace Storm was making a decision that would change everything. She had spent the hours since showing Elodie the viral proposal video wrestling with her conscience, torn between loyalty to her dying husband and sympathy for the innocent woman caught in his desperate scheme. The sight of Elodie's devastation upon seeing Williams propose to another woman had been heartbreaking to witness. But more than that, Grace had begun to understand the fundamental flaw in Griff's plan. If Williams believed he was already with Elodie, if he thought he was engaged to her and building a life with her, then he would never come looking for the real Elodie because he wouldn't know she was missing. Which meant Griff's entire strategy was doomed to failure from the very beginning. Grace knocked softly on Elodie's door before entering, her expression resolute despite the fear she felt about betraying her husband. "Elodie," she said quietly, "I've made a decision. I'm going

  • UNBREAKABLE BOND   70: Unraveling Truths

    Williams' grip tightened around Mandy's throat as the terrible truth crystallized in his mind with perfect, devastating clarity. This woman—this impostor who had accepted his proposal, who had danced in his arms, who had just shared his bed—was not the woman he loved. She was not Elodie. Mandy's eyes were wide with terror as she clawed at his hands, her breathing becoming increasingly labored as his fingers pressed against her windpipe. The engagement ring he had placed on her finger just hours ago caught the light, a mockery of the love and commitment it was supposed to represent. "Please," she gasped, her voice barely audible through her constricted airway. "Williams, please, you're hurting me." But Williams seemed beyond hearing her pleas, his eyes blazing with a fury so intense it was frightening to witness. The gentle, confused man who had awakened in the hospital was gone, replaced by someone cold and dangerous and absolutely certain that he was facing an enemy. Mandy ev

  • UNBREAKABLE BOND   69: Shattered Disguise 11

    Miles away, Elodie kept pacing up and down the confines of her prison like a caged animal. She could not understand what had gone wrong with her phone call to Williams. After she had tried to call him and the call was disconnected, she had been unable to reach him again. Grace had left with her phone, saying that what she was doing was too risky, that Griff might discover what they had attempted and become furious. But Elodie couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly, fundamentally wrong. Williams would never ignore a call from her, especially not in circumstances like these. He would have answered back, would have demanded to know where she was, would have moved heaven and earth to reach her the moment he heard her voice. The fact that someone had answered the call and then immediately disconnected it suggested something far more sinister than technical difficulties or bad timing. While Elodie was pacing up and down, trying to make sense of what had happened, sh
