UNBREAKABLE BOND 57: Back From the Dead
The air was cool when Williams guided Elodie through the wide front doors of his house. The familiar scent of polished oak and leather washed over her, warm and grounding after hours of choking fear. For a moment, she just stood there, drinking it in—the quiet hum of the security system, the faint crackle of the fireplace he must have left burning, the way the space seemed to breathe safety. Her throat tightened. “This,” she whispered, her voice raw but steady, “this is where I was happiest. I didn’t realize it until I was dragged away. But it’s here. With you. It’s all thanks to you, Williams.” He didn’t answer. He only pulled her into his chest, his arms wrapping around her like he was afraid she might dissolve into smoke if he let go. She smiled faintly against his chest, her cheek pressed to the steady thrum of his heartbeat. When he finally loosened his hold, Williams reached into his jacket and pressed something into her palm. “Here. This belongs to you.” Her brows
UNBREAKABLE BOND 56: Ashes Of The Night
The house which smelled of smoke, sweat, and fear, was soon crawling with too many people . Williams pulled Elodie gently toward the waiting vehicles, shielding her from the flashes of police lights. Officers moved briskly around them, loading the arrested men into vans, documenting the scene with sharp efficiency. Yet through it all, Williams’ hand stayed firmly clasped around Elodie's as if letting go for even a second would risk losing her again. Exhaustion weighed Elodie down. Every muscle in her body ached from the chase, the struggle, and the fear. She leaned into Williams’ side without a word, and he caught her instantly, sliding an arm around her shoulders. “We’re going home,” he murmured, pressing a kiss to her temple. But when they reached the car, he paused. One look at her pale face, her trembling hands, and he knew she wasn’t ready for home yet. Instead, he gave the driver a new instruction: a hotel. Somewhere clean, quiet, and untouched by Bryce’s shadow. By th
UNBREAKABLE BOND 55: No Mercy Left
Williams crouched in the shadows, his chest heaving, his knuckles raw from the fight. Dust still hung in the air from the shattered gate, the acrid tang of gunpowder stinging his nostrils. Through the haze, his eyes locked on the sight that set his blood on fire—Bryce, dragging Elodie by the wrist, her face pale but her gaze still clinging to him as though he were the only lifeline she had left in the world. “Elodie!” The name tore from Williams’ throat before he could stop it. Bryce didn’t flinch. He yanked her harder, pulling her toward the staircase that led deeper into the house. She fought against his hold, but his grip was iron. Williams pushed forward, charging through the chaos of the fight like a bull breaking from its pen. A hulking figure suddenly stepped from the corner, a guard, broad-shouldered, his face twisted with malice. He planted himself between Williams and Bryce like a wall of muscle, swinging a heavy fist. Williams didn’t slow. He ducked under the swi
UNBREAKABLE BOND 54: The Storm Breaks
The men dragged Elodie back toward the house, her body thrashing like a wildcat in their grip. Her fingers clawed desperately at the guard’s pocket, just brushing the edge of the phone again, when a shadow fell across the doorway. “Enough.” The single word froze them all. Bryce stood leaning against the frame of the door, arms folded, a smile tugging at his lips as though he were watching a child’s tantrum rather than a desperate escape attempt. His eyes glittered with quiet amusement as they shoved Elodie forward. “You never change,” he drawled, stepping down toward them. “Always running, always fighting. But this time, Elodie, you won’t get away.” Her chest heaved as she glared at him. “I will never be yours,” she spat, her voice ragged. Bryce only smiled wider. “We’ll see about that.” The guards tightened their grip, preparing to drag her inside. Elodie twisted violently, her heel slamming down on one man’s shin. He cursed, but Bryce raised a hand lazily. “Don’t hur
UNBREAKABLE BOND 53: The Gilded Cage
The room was a cage disguised as paradise. Silk curtains swayed gently in the air-conditioned draft, the chandelier above casting a golden glow over walls dressed in ivory. The bed in the center was draped with rose petals, the sheets pristine and perfumed. To anyone else, it might have looked like a suite designed for romance. To Elodie, it was nothing but a gilded trap. The door opened, and Bryce stepped in. He looked almost casual—shirt unbuttoned at the throat, sleeves rolled up—as though this were a simple evening between husband and wife. His smile, though, carried something darker. “Elodie,” he said softly, as if the name itself belonged to him. He gestured to the bed, his voice low with intent. “We don’t need a grand ceremony. We’ve been married before. Tomorrow, we’ll make it official again, just the two of us. But tonight…” His eyes lingered on the petals, on the arrangements he had laid out. “Tonight is ours. I’ve prepared everything for us. Our wedding night.” Her en
UNBREAKABLE BOND 52: Shadows In The Wreckage
The news broke like wildfire. Every channel, every scrolling headline carried the same grim story: Elodie Williams, involved in a fatal crash. Her car collided with a truck, sending her over the bridge. No body recovered. Mandy stared at the screen, her heart hammering. The footage of the twisted wreckage seared itself into her mind. Her mouth went dry, her breath caught in her throat, and before she realized what she was doing, she was already running down the hallway toward her father’s study. “Dad!” she burst in, her voice shrill, panicked. “Did you do this?” Greg looked up from behind his mahogany desk, his expression maddeningly calm. He folded his hands, leaning back in his chair like a king fielding the cries of a servant. “Mandy,” he said smoothly, “sit down.” She shook her head, trembling. “No, I need to hear it from you. Did you...” her voice cracked, “did you arrange that accident?” He let out a low chuckle, though his eyes carried a flicker of annoyance. “Do you
