Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

Mistaking the interruption for mere coincidence, Henley gave Alexis one final look of contempt before deciding to walk away.

Gasping for air on the ground, Alexis was haunted by the fear of having nearly met his end.

As Henley started to leave, Alexis, driven by desperation, reached out and clutched at his ankle.

“It’s not as it seems, not as it seems, my son…”

The earnestness in Alexis’ plea, his eyes bloodshot and beseeching, conveyed his panic.

“I haven’t forsaken you.

But without my actions, we stood to lose everything!”

Noticing a slight easing in Henley’s fury, Alexis seized the moment to add.

“Just trust me.

Give me some time, and all will be set right.

”

Henley, his expression one of derision, questioned, “What could that old man possibly have said to render you so utterly spineless?”

Standing up and brushing himself off, Alexis glanced around nervously before leaning in to whisper a secret into Henley’s ear.

Henley’s face hardened at the revelation, his hands balling into fists once more.

“I was forced to make a temporary concession.

Or risk losing the fortune I’ve dedicated my life to amassing.

How could I allow that to happen?” Alexis admitted, his voice tight with frustration.

Their tense conversation was abruptly interrupted by a loud “Bang!”

Alexis was startled, his body tensed in alarm.

In a fit of fury, Henley lashed out, his fist connecting with the car window and leaving it spider-webbed with cracks.

His hand immediately swelled, the skin turning a painful shade of purple and red.

“Son!” Alexis’ voice was laced with concern, his heart sinking at the sight.

But Henley, consumed by a tempest of anger, barked back, “Get out of my sight!”

With that, Henley yanked open the car door and drove away, pushing the vehicle to its limits, a clear reflection of his inner turmoil.

Questions and comparisons swirled in Henley’s mind, particularly about Alexis and their seemingly parallel paths, only to realize that fate, it seemed, had always been against him.

Elsewhere, Raegan was attending an event when her phone rang.

On the other line, Mitchel informed her, “The situation at the company has been resolved.

”

A wave of relief washed over Raegan, prompting her to inquire, “Did they give you any trouble?”

Mitchel, understanding precisely who Raegan was alluding to, reassured her with a simple, “No.

”

Their conversation was brief yet comforting, ending with Raegan mentioning she needed to return to her commitments at the event.

“Alright, I’ll see you tonight,” Mitchel replied, their exchange a subtle reminder of the support they found in each other amidst the chaos.

Raegan, feeling the weight of her commitments, replied, “The director wants to discuss something with me after the event, so I might be late tonight.

”

Mitchel, ever protective, offered, “If it’s too late, I’ll come and get you.

”
