Williams checked his watch as their car navigated the traffic toward the Meridian Hotel. Everything was proceeding according to plan, but his instincts...honed by high-stakes business deals, were screaming that something was off.

"You're tense," Elodie observed, her hand finding his. "What's wrong?"

"Probably nothing. Just... stay close to me tonight. Don't go anywhere alone." His eyes scanned the streets around them, noting the cars, the pedestrians, anything that seemed out of place.

"Williams, you're being paranoid."

"Paranoid keeps you alive." His voice was grim. "Greg and Mandy aren't going to just accept defeat. Cornered animals are the most dangerous."

As if summoned by his words, Williams caught sight of a black sedan in his rearview mirror. It had been following them for the past six blocks, maintaining a careful distance but never falling back or changing lanes.

"Hold on," Williams said quietly, his hands tightening on the steering wheel.

"What....."

    "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

    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.

    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

    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

    Elodie stood before the full-length mirror in Williams' bedroom, her hands smoothing down the crimson fabric of her dress. The red silk hugged her curves perfectly, professional yet striking, the kind of outfit that commanded attention and respect. She had chosen it specifically for this moment—the day she would reclaim her birthright. Two hours. In two hours, she would walk into that party and watch Greg's face as his world crumbled around him. The thought sent a thrill of satisfaction through her veins, and she couldn't suppress the smile that curved her lips. Williams emerged from the closet, adjusting his black shirt. The deep red tie around his neck matched her dress perfectly—a coordinated statement that they were a united front. When he caught sight of her in the mirror, he stopped dead in his tracks. "Elodie." His voice was rough with appreciation. "You look..." "Professional?" she suggested, turning to face him. "Devastating." His eyes traveled over her with an int
