Betrayed Before the Vows Chapter 96
“William, don’t move closer—there’s an unstable current in the outer line!”The shout came too late.A sharp burst of energy crackled through the relay junction, lighting up the control panel in a sudden flash of blue-white light.William staggered back, one hand gripping the metal frame to steady himself.“I’m fine,” he said quickly. “Shut down the secondary feed—now!”Camelia was already at the console.“Doing it!”Her fingers moved fast, rerouting the flow through a backup channel. The system groaned—low, deep, like something resisting correction.Then, slowly, the lights stabilized.The humming reduced to a steady tone.Silence followed.Only the wind outside filled the gap.One technician exhaled shakily.“That was close…”William didn’t respond immediately. His eyes stayed locked on the diagnostic screen.“The distortion pattern changed,” he said.Camelia looked up.“What do you mean changed?”William zoomed in on the data stream.“It adapted.”That single word made the room col

“William, the northern relay station just lost partial output.”The voice from the communications line crackled through the speaker.William straightened immediately, one hand already reaching for the tablet on the desk.“Which section?” he asked sharply.“Sector 3. It’s fluctuating between forty and sixty percent capacity.”“I’ll check it now.”He ended the call and stood up.Camelia, who had been reviewing reports across the table, looked up.“Another instability issue?”“Yeah,” William replied, already pulling on his jacket. “Same region we reinforced last week.”“I’m coming with you,” she said.William paused.“You don’t have to—”“I know,” she cut in calmly, standing as well. “But I want to.”He didn’t argue further.That in itself felt different.Not long ago, he would have questioned her decision. Or worried about her safety. Or overanalyzed the meaning behind it.Now, he simply nodded.“Alright.”They left the building together, stepping into the cold air outside. Snow fell in

“Are you going to tell her?”The question came without warning.Adrian didn’t look away from the valley below as he spoke. The wind on the balcony was sharper today, cutting through the quiet between them.William frowned slightly.“Tell her what?”“That I used to love her.”William exhaled slowly.“She already knows enough.”Adrian gave a faint nod, as if that answer didn’t surprise him.“I suppose she does.”A pause settled between them again. Not uncomfortable this time—just heavy with things neither of them needed to say aloud.Far behind them, inside the building, voices echoed faintly. Life continued as usual inside the People’s Grid headquarters, but out here it felt like another world entirely.William finally spoke.“Why are you telling me this?”Adrian leaned back slightly against the railing.“Because I think you’ve been waiting for a reason to hate me that doesn’t exist.”William didn’t answer immediately.The truth in that statement was too accurate to dismiss.“I don’t h

"Dad, aren't you coming to bed?"Ethan's small voice broke the silence inside the laboratory.William flinched slightly. He quickly turned off his monitor and looked toward the doorway.An eight-year-old boy stood there in blue pajamas, clutching a small wolf plush against his chest. His hair was messy, and his sleepy eyes struggled to stay open.William smiled faintly."What are you still doing awake?"Ethan rubbed his eyes."I was looking for you."William knelt until they were at eye level."You should be sleeping.""I woke up, and you weren't there."The little boy wrapped his arms tightly around William's neck."I got scared."The innocent embrace made William's chest tighten.He hugged his son just as tightly."I'm here.""You're not leaving, are you?"William closed his eyes for a brief moment."No.""Promise?""I promise."Ethan finally smiled.William lifted him into his arms and carried him out of the laboratory.The hallways of the People's Grid headquarters were quiet. Dim

"I turned it down."The room fell silent.Camelia slowly lowered the report she had been reading and looked across the conference table at Adrian."You... what?"Adrian offered a small smile, though there was exhaustion behind it."I declined the position in Zurich."Marko nearly dropped the mug in his hand."Are you serious? That's one of the biggest energy companies in Europe.""I know.""They offered you enough money to retire before you're fifty.""I know that too."Camelia frowned."Then why?"Adrian leaned back in his chair, folding his hands calmly."Because People's Grid isn't finished."His answer was simple, yet it carried undeniable conviction."I promised I'd help stabilize the network," he continued. "Walking away now would make everything we've built meaningless."Stefan looked genuinely impressed."Most people would have packed their bags before the offer letter finished printing."Adrian laughed quietly."I've never been 'most people.'"Camelia nodded politely."We app

"William... he's crying again."Camelia's exhausted voice barely rose above a whisper as another sharp cry echoed through their room.Waaah...Waaah...The sound cut through the silence of midnight.William immediately pushed aside his blanket and sat up."I'll get him.""No."Camelia was already climbing out of bed, her movements slow and heavy. Dark circles shadowed her eyes after nearly two weeks of sleepless nights."I'll do it."She walked to Elyan's crib and gently lifted him into her arms."It's okay, sweetheart," she whispered. "Mama's here."But Elyan only cried harder.Camelia rocked him carefully, humming the lullaby she had sung every night since he was born.Nothing changed.His tiny body continued to tremble with loud, desperate sobs.William quietly stood beside her."Maybe let me—""I said I've got him."Her reply came more sharply than she intended.William fell silent.Camelia instantly regretted her tone, but she was too tired to apologize.She tried walking around

“You’re in love with her.”The accusation came out cold and sharp the moment William stepped into the lower garage.Adrian, who had been checking supply crates near the transport vehicles, slowly looked up.Snow blew through the half-open steel doors behind them, carrying freezing wind into the und

“What are you looking for?”Camelia looked up from the storage cabinet as Elena entered the archive room carrying a stack of medical reports.“Bandages,” Camelia answered. “William somehow managed to use half the station’s supplies on one shoulder wound.”Elena smiled faintly.“That sounds like him

“You don’t have to treat me like I’m fragile all the time.”Camelia’s voice echoed sharply through the room.William looked up from the weapons table near the door, exhaustion already visible beneath his eyes. He had barely slept for days, throwing himself into patrols and security operations with

“Careful, little man. You’re going to fall.”Adrian laughed softly as Elyan stumbled unsteadily across the carpet toward him.The baby squealed happily, tiny hands reaching upward without hesitation.Camelia smiled faintly from the couch nearby while organizing medical files across her lap. Sunligh
