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
UNBREAKABLE BOND 68: Shattered Disguise 1
Mandy was so excited she could barely contain herself, but she tried desperately to hide it as Williams emerged from the bathroom. Her heart was racing with anticipation, knowing that something special was about to happen based on the way he had been acting all evening. The mysterious phone call, his insistence on taking her somewhere special, the careful way he had selected his clothes—everything pointed to this being the moment she had dreamed of so many times. Williams looked absolutely magnificent as he came out of the bathroom, every inch the powerful, sophisticated man she had fallen in love with. His hair was perfectly styled despite the white bandage wrapped around his head from his injury, and he moved with that natural confidence that had always set him apart from other men. Even injured, even confused about portions of his recent past, he was devastatingly handsome in a way that made her breath catch in her throat. "You look incredible," she said softly, moving to help
UNBREAKABLE BOND 67: Dangerous Deception
"Williams," Mandy continued, her voice gentle. "The doctor explained that you might not remember things clearly for a while. So if you are confused about anything, just let me know, okay?" Tobias felt his blood run cold. How did she even know about Williams' amnesia? The had been very specific about patient confidentiality—she had only discussed Williams' condition with Tobias because he was listed as the emergency contact. No one else should know the details of Williams' memory loss. Unless Mandy had been listening to private conversations. Unless she had been watching and waiting for exactly the right moment to make her move. The realization that Mandy might have been spying on them, gathering information to use in her deception, made Tobias feel sick with rage and helplessness. "The doctors told you about my memory problems?" Williams asked. "They explained that you might be confused for a while," Mandy said smoothly. "That some things might seem different until your brain
UNBREAKABLE BOND 66: Broken Chains And False Hopes
The revelation hit Elodie like a physical blow. This woman—this compassionate woman who was clearly struggling with her conscience—was married to the man who was holding her prisoner. "Why?" Elodie asked, her voice barely audible. "Why are you and Griff doing this to us? If you're really going to be family, if Williams is really going to be your brother-in-law, then why are you keeping me away from him?" Grace moved to the door and turned the lock, then came back to sit in the chair across from Elodie's bed. Her movements were deliberate, resigned, like someone who had made a difficult decision and was committed to seeing it through. "Eat your food," she said softly. "And I'll tell you a story. A story about two brothers and the tragedy that ruined them." Elodie picked up the spoon with trembling hands, forcing herself to take small sips of the soup while Grace gathered her thoughts. The food was delicious—clearly homemade with love and care—but it tasted like ash in her mouth.
UNBREAKABLE BOND 65: Reflections And Revelations
Griff looked like a man in his late forties, maybe early fifties. Everything about him screamed wealth and danger in equal measure. "Williams and I had what you might call a complicated relationship." "I want to see Williams," Elodie insisted, her voice growing stronger despite her fear. "I need to be with him." "That's not going to happen." Griff leaned back in his chair, completely relaxed despite her obvious agitation. "But perhaps we should get better acquainted first, since you're going to be staying here for a while." The casual way he spoke about holding her prisoner made Elodie's blood run cold. This man—this stranger who claimed to be Williams' brother—was talking about her captivity like it was a social visit. "I'm not staying anywhere," she said, desperation making her voice sharp. "You can't keep me here. Williams will be looking for me. He'll find me." "Will he? That remains to be seen." Griff's confident tone suggested he knew something she didn't, and that
UNBREAKABLE BOND 64: Fractured
The silence after the explosion was more terrifying than the blast itself. Where moments before had been the hum of conversation and clinking glasses, now there was only the groaning of damaged steel, the tinkle of falling glass, and the low moans of the injured. Emergency sirens wailed in the distance, growing closer with each passing second. Red and blue lights strobed through the smoke-filled air as first responders converged on the Meridian Hotel, their radios crackling with urgent communications. FBI Agent Sarah Martinez coughed, wiping dust from her eyes as she surveyed the devastation. Her team had been positioned strategically throughout the room, ready to arrest Greg Richards the moment Elodie Richards revealed her hand. They had anticipated corporate drama, legal battles, perhaps even some physical resistance. They had not anticipated domestic terrorism. "Martinez!" Agent Collins stumbled through the debris, his suit torn and bloodied. "Richards is secure. We got him
