After unpacking, Elodie said she’d handle the rest on her own. William, of course, ignored that and stayed beside her, folding, arranging, making space in drawers as if he’d been living there with her all along.

Later, she showered, letting the hot water run over her until the weight of the day loosened from her shoulders. Dinner followed...simple, and the conversation flowed easily. She felt lighter, her body uncoiling with each passing minute.

Later in the bedroom, Williams settled into the chair beside the bed, laptop open. Elodie lay back against the pillows, watching the faint blue glow spill over the angles of his face.

The quiet was broken by the sharp buzz of his phone. He glanced at the screen, answered without hesitation.

“Thunderbyte? Really? Okay. Of course. He’s struggling now. He’ll need investors… I’m coming.”

Something flickered in his expression, not just interest, but something predatory. He closed the call, leaned over to brush a kiss against her cheek,

  • UNBREAKABLE BOND   43: An Unexpected Visitor

    The cameras were still flashing when the CEO stepped out of the glass doors. His usually composed face was sharp with authority, his voice cutting through the noisy crowd like a blade. “Ladies and gentlemen of the press,” he began, adjusting his tie as the microphones shot forward, “there’s been a lot of speculation today, and I think it’s time you heard the truth from me directly.” The murmurs hushed. A few reporters leaned in closer. “Yes, there was an incident within Titan Tech. A deliberate attempt to destroy the reputation of this company from within.” He paused just long enough for the tension to thicken. “We have identified the individual responsible. We have irrefutable proof of their actions, and as of this moment, they are in police custody.” Gasps rippled through the crowd. A few cameras clicked in rapid succession. He raised his chin slightly. “Let me make this clear... Miss Elodie Richards has done nothing wrong. She has not plagiarized. She has worked with hone

    The moment the press conference ended, Elodie walked straight into the CEO’s office, Williams right at her side. The CEO was already there, along with the legal team. His eyes narrowed when he saw her. “Elodie,” he said slowly, “tell me the truth...everything you gave me earlier… is it real?” “Why don’t you watch the video yourself?” she replied calmly, her voice steady but carrying weight. Williams stepped in behind her, and the CEO this time, who had realized who he was, gestured for him to sit. “Please, Mr. Storm.” Elodie placed her laptop on the table, clicking through to the same evidence she had shown Williams earlier. The room was silent except for the sound of the video playing. Every detail, every timestamp, every incriminating second of Mandy’s scheme filled the screen. By the time it ended, the CEO was leaning back in his chair, stunned. “This… this is unbelievable.” “It’s not the first time she’s tried to destroy me,” Elodie said evenly. “Do you remember w

    Williams’s arms locked around Elodie, steady as a wall while the crowd surged. Flashes burst like lightning. Microphones grazed her shoulder. Somewhere to the left, a voice shouted “plagiarism” with the kind of delight that only comes from borrowed outrage. Elodie’s head tipped back just enough to meet his eyes. “I’m fine,” she said softly. He frowned. “You’re shaking.” “I am not.” Her voice was calm enough that he blinked. Then he felt it...the even breath, the anchored posture, the way her fingers, instead of clutching at him, smoothed the crease of his lapel as if she had all the time in the world. A reporter lunged; another flash exploded. Williams slid an arm across her shoulders and cut a path toward the lobby doors. Security finally woke up and pushed the mob back; the glass swallowed the noise and left it pantomiming on the other side like a silent film. The CEO barreled out from the inner corridor, jaw tight, legal trailing him with a stack of folders and the look o

    The morning sun spilled gently over the city, painting soft golden hues across the windshield of Williams' sleek black car. He sat in the driver’s seat, watching Elodie pull her hair into a ponytail, her face glowing from the morning light. She looked peaceful, and composed, yet he knew she had a mountain to climb today. He reached for her hand, brushing his lips over her knuckles. "You’ve got this," he whispered, his voice a quiet anchor. She smiled, eyes soft. "You always say that." "Because it's always true," he said, leaning forward and capturing her lips in a kiss that wasn't rushed. It lingered...slow, deliberate, full of emotion. The kind of kiss that carried promises. When she finally pulled away, she touched his face. "Thank you... for believing in me." "Always." She stepped out of the car, turning back for a moment to wave at him. Williams waved back, a boyish grin stretched across his face, the kind of grin that only she could pull from him. Neither of them no

    Elodie’s sobs slowed until they were nothing more than shaky breaths. She stayed in Williams' arms a moment longer before leaning back, her head still heavy, her thoughts tangled. She had no words that could match the weight of what he had just given her. Williams' hand came up, rougher than silk but warmer than anything she knew, brushing the wetness from her cheeks. His eyes didn’t waver. “I want you to move in with me, Elodie.” Her heart skipped, then started beating too fast. She opened her mouth, but before a single sound could escape, he added calmly. “You can’t say no. You absolutely cannot say no, Elodie. Please… move in with me.” She stared at him, searching his face. He wasn’t joking. He wasn’t bargaining. He was asking her to step into his life completely, and she didn’t know if she was ready for that. He must have read the hesitation in her eyes because his jaw tightened, then he said, “You know what? Wait here. I’ll go to your house and bring all your things.”
