Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

After a torrent of emotions, Katie’s expression settled into one that was as gray and lifeless as ashes.

Exhausted, Katie slumped against the wall, repeating under her breath, “Mitchel, you are absolutely insane!”

“Katie, this is the price you have to pay,” Mitchel taunted her without mercy.

Katie felt as though her world had crumbled.

Everything was finished, completely finished.

She wasn’t ready to die, yet the idea that she wouldn’t be alone in death brought her a strange comfort.

“Mitchel, do you really think you’ve won?”

Katie scoffed.

“You haven’t.

You’ve shown everyone that I’m the woman you love most.

You’ve completely shattered Raegan’s heart!”

Her words transformed Mitchel’s usually expressionless face into a frosty visage.

His face turned stone-cold as he declared, “You might want to think about what’s coming for you!”

“I don’t care anymore,” Katie said faintly.

Just moments ago, she was trembling with fear.

Her sudden shift in demeanor seemed fishy.

“Having you die with me makes it all less scary.

Even if we die, being known as tragic lovers isn’t the worst fate, is it?” Katie taunted.

Disgust washed over Mitchel, his lips curling in disdain.

“Katie, who said I was letting you die?”

Confusion crossed Katie’s face.

“Whoosh!” A syringe clattered to the ground near Katie’s feet.

Mitchel announced, “You could try to give yourself an escape.

”

Katie, confused, began to ask, “Why would you…”

Then it hit her.

“Mitchel, you don’t actually want me dead!”

Katie quickly connected the dot and grasped Mitchel’s intention, her astuteness shown in her capabilities in plotting numerous schemes.

“You want me to kill Lorenzo, and then live the rest of my days like a fugitive, always terrified, pursued by the entire Maxwell family, right?”

A fierce look sparked in Mitchel’s eyes.

“I’m merely delaying your end.

Do you really think you can evade the entire Maxwell family indefinitely?”

Just thinking about the Maxwell family chasing her made Katie shiver from head to toe.

The Maxwells wouldn’t chase her indefinitely.

If they decided to finish her, they would swiftly accomplish their task.

If the target didn’t die quickly, the full might of the Maxwell family would ensure success.

By then, she’d be scared out of her wits until the very end, and then she’d have to deal with being caught and put through forty-eight awful tortures.

The Maxwell family was notorious for their merciless methods, torturing their victims up until the very end.

The mere prospect of such a dreadful life made Katie wish for death.

How could she possibly cope with that?

“You are truly heartless.

” Katie felt like she plunged into an icy hole, her face turning pale as a ghost.
