UNBREAKABLE BOND 027: Not Just Another Night
Elodie couldn’t concentrate. Her eyes flicked to the clock on her wall for what felt like the hundredth time. It was only 5:42 p.m., yet it felt like the day would never end. Her fingers hovered over her keyboard, unmoving. Work had long faded from her mind. All she could think about was the dinner. Eight p.m. Williams. The thought sent a current of electricity through her. Meanwhile, across town, Williams lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He’d told himself he would nap—but his eyes had remained wide open. Every few minutes, he turned his head to check the time on his phone. 5:47. He muttered under his breath and sat up. By six, Elodie had left the office. She stopped by a boutique, browsing through racks of dresses until she found the one that felt just right—a deep emerald green satin dress, soft and body-skimming, with a low back and delicate straps that kissed her shoulders. She picked a new perfume too—light, floral, with just enough warmth to linger. From there,
UNBREAKABLE BOND 026: The Lies We Carry
Elodie walked into the company’s building with quiet purpose. Her heels clicked against the floor, her white jumpsuit crisp, her red stilettos firm beneath her. She passed the familiar hallway with the old shared office and was finally led into her new workspace—a room of her own. The moment she stepped inside, her eyes lit up. It was spacious, filled with natural light streaming through tall glass windows. A modern desk sat at the center, sleek and organized. A velvet couch adorned one corner, beside a bookshelf lined with company portfolios. The air smelled of fresh paint and new beginnings. She exhaled. It felt like progress. Across the hallway, Mandy leaned against the wall with a knowing smirk, watching Elodie settle in. She strutted forward, flipping her hair back as she walked, the expensive necklace from yesterday dancing on her chest like a trophy. “Nice little office,” she said, her voice sweet and venomous. Then she yawned. “Oh, I'm so exhausted. My fiance Wil

The soft beeping of a monitor was the first sound Williams heard as his eyes fluttered open. The sterile scent of antiseptic lingered in the air, and the muted hum of distant voices told him where he was—the hospital. His head throbbed dully, and his body felt heavier than usual. He blinked against the brightness of the room and shifted his gaze around. Then he saw her. Elodie. She was asleep on a chair beside his bed, her body curled slightly as she leaned against the wall. Her face, even in slumber, was so breathtakingly peaceful that he forgot to breathe for a moment. The soft pink nightgown she wore clung gently to her frame, modest but elegant, and over it, he recognized—his jacket. Draped over her shoulders like a shield. As though it still meant something. He smiled as he realized she must have taken off his jacket and covered herself with it. The pendant—his ring—rested just above her chest, still shining faintly in the light. His eyes lingered on her. How was i
UNBREAKABLE BOND 024: What Was Left Unsaid
Elodie stepped back into the bar, trying to hide the tremble in her hands. Her face was composed but pale. Tiana spotted her immediately. Her smile faded. “Elodie…” Tiana stood up, eyes narrowing as she took in the change in her friend’s expression. “What happened?” Elodie didn’t answer right away. She sat down heavily, running a hand through her hair. Her lower lip was slightly bruised—visible under the bar’s warm lighting. Tiana noticed it instantly and leaned in, her voice low but urgent. “What’s going on? Who did this to you?” Elodie offered a weak smile. “It’s nothing. I just need to go home. I’m sorry.” Tiana reached for her hand. “Don’t tell me it’s nothing when your face says otherwise.” Elodie sighed. “Can we maybe reschedule our outing? I just need to rest. This weekend, maybe?” Tiana didn’t let go. “Elodie, are you sure you don't want to talk about it?” “I promise. This weekend. You, me, and... maybe Henry could come along?” Tiana looked surprised. “You
UNBREAKABLE BOND 023: What's Wrong With Me?
Just as Elodie lifted her glass for another sip, her phone began to ring. She glanced at the screen—Bryce. With a sigh, she ended the call without hesitation. It rang again. She groaned and downed the rest of her drink in one go. If it weren’t for the government project tying them together, she would have blocked his number. Almost immediately, a message popped up. "Please pick your call. I need to tell you something important about the project." Elodie rolled her eyes. When the phone rang for the third time, she forced a smile and turned to Tiana. “I’ll step outside to answer. Too much noise in here.” Tiana gave her a teasing grin. “Ooooh. Is it your boyfriend?” Elodie scoffed. “Not in a million years.” She made her way out of the bar and picked up the call, her voice flat. “What do you want, Bryce?” Bryce’s tone was annoyingly calm. “Why so hostile? I’m not the enemy here.” “I’m still waiting to hear why you called,” she replied coolly. Inside the bar, Willia
UNBREAKABLE BOND 022: A Shadow In the Crowd
Bryce noticed the way Elodie’s expression shifted. Her jaw was clenched, her eyes welled with tears she was clearly trying to hide, and her nails dug painfully into her palm. Just moments ago, she had looked so composed. Now… she looked like she was barely holding herself together. Beside them, Mandy brushed past Elodie without so much as a glance, humming under her breath as she made her way toward her office, her entire body glowing with self-satisfaction. Her mood had clearly improved. And Elodie’s had clearly crumbled. Bryce opened his mouth to speak, but Elodie cut him off, her voice low and tight. “Please excuse me.” She didn’t wait for a reply. She turned and walked briskly away, disappearing down the hall and into the restroom. Inside, she stood in front of the mirror, gripping the edge of the sink, staring at her own reflection like she didn’t recognize the woman looking back. 'You have no right to cry,' she told herself silently. 'You have no right to feel
UNBREAKABLE BOND 021: Gifted Lies
Mandy had been watching from above with so much fury in her eyes. Her chest burned with rage as she saw Williams and Elodie together. But the moment she spotted Bryce, everything changed. A wide smile spread across her face, and without wasting another second, she rushed down. Elodie had just turned toward Williams to say something when she heard footsteps hurrying behind her. She turned to see Mandy, almost breathless, her face glowing with excitement as she ran straight to Williams like a woman claiming her prize. “I’m so happy you came to see me!” Mandy exclaimed, beaming as she stood directly in front of him. Williams barely looked at her. His eyes were still fixed on Elodie, his jaw clenched, frustration tightening the muscles in his face. He was about to push Mandy out of his line of sight when Elodie turned to him. “Do have a nice day, Williams,” she said quietly. Then she pulled her hand from Bryce’s grasp and walked away. Her pace was quick, her shoulders straight, a
UNBREAKABLE BOND 020: Wifey
Elodie could barely hear the sound of cars in the distance or the chatter from people passing behind them. All she could focus on was Williams... standing there with that same gentle intensity in his eyes as he watched her. And she was watching him too. For a moment, it felt like the world had slowed down. Neither of them moved. Neither of them blinked. Then, finally, Williams exhaled and smiled. “You’re probably wondering what I’m hiding behind my back,” he said softly. He brought his hand forward from behind his back, and when Elodie saw what he held, her lips parted slightly in surprise. It was a box—small, square, and elegant. The kind used by luxury jewelers. “I watched your presentation,” he continued. “From start to finish. And I was blown away, Elodie. You were calm, brilliant, graceful. I was so proud of you… and I just wanted to say congratulations.” He opened the box, revealing a gold necklace with a tiny oval pendant in the center. It was simple and delicat
UNBREAKABLE BOND 019: The Look in His Eyes
Mandy could not believe Elodie Richards had won. Despite all her planning, all her effort, and the months of quiet preparation to present for the bid… she had still lost. And the worst part? Elodie had done it without a single document in her hand. No visuals. No proposal file. Just her voice, her confidence, and her mind. Mandy looked away from Elodie and clenched her fists. She had watched the other companies present. Deep down, she knew, even if Elodie hadn’t spoken, she would have lost. Elodie was simply better, but that was something she could not accept. Tristan couldn’t stop smiling. He walked up to the judges to thank them personally, proud of the company’s success. And while he was distracted, Bryce approached Elodie with a wide smile on his face, looking far too pleased. “Congratulations,” he said, standing too close for comfort. “I had no doubt that you’d make me proud.” Elodie pulled her hand away from him as he tried to hold it and gave a polite but cold “Thank
