Alexanders Last Resort This ends tonight.
Alexanders voice is as cold as the steel of the gun hes loading.
His fingers are steady, methodical, as he checks each chamber, making sure everything is in place.
He knows what needs to be done.
Theres no room for hesitation anymore.
Elenas life is on the line, and its time for him to take action.
The last few days have been a blurnights spent pacing, planning, and preparing for this exact moment.
Hes tried every other option, every other plan to get her out of Rafaels grip.
But nothing worked.
Rafael is too powerful, too relentless.
The only thing left is to end it all, once and for all.
Alexanders thoughts flicker to Elena, trapped in that estate, far from anyone who could help her.
Her face flashes in his mind, her eyes full of fear, but still with that spark of defiance.
Thats what kept him going all this timethe fact that she hasnt given up, even when shes been broken down again and again.
He clenches his jaw, a tight anger building up inside him.
Im coming for you, Elena, he mutters under his breath, gripping the gun tightly in his hand.
His phone buzzes on the table beside him.
He picks it up, his eyes scanning the screen.
Its a message from Nolan, one of his trusted allies.
Its done.
The men are in position.
Are you ready? Alexanders reply is quick, his fingers barely pausing as he types.
It has to be tonight.
Theres no more time.
He slips the phone into his pocket and stands, his eyes hardening with determination.
His every move is calculated, methodical.
The plan is simple.
Hes going to take Rafael down, and with him, Elenas chains.
But Alexander knows something else, too.
This isnt just about saving Elena anymore.
Its personal.
Rafael has crossed too many lines.
Hes not just the man who took Elena away from himhes the man whos destroyed everything.
Tonight, Alexander is going to make sure Rafael never hurts anyone again.
But theres a catch.
A catch that Alexander hates, but knows he has no choice but to accept.
He needs inside help.
Rafael is too guarded, too protected, for him to take down on his own.
Theres one person who can help himand that person is one of Rafaels most trusted men.
His phone rings, cutting through the silence of the room.
The name on the screen is familiar, and his heart skips a beat.
Is it done? Alexander asks immediately, his voice tense, his mind already in the next step of the plan.
Almost, the voice on the other end replies.
Its low and raspy, a man whos been through more than his share of dirty jobs.
But you need to make a deal with me first.
Im not going in there without something in return.
Alexanders teeth grind together.
He knows who this isVictor, one of Rafaels right-hand men.
A man who knows the ins and outs of Rafaels operations like the back of his hand.
But Victor is no fool.
He knows whats at stake.
What do you want? Alexander asks, his patience thinning.
I want out.
Rafaels been too much, too dangerous.
I cant stay in his world anymore.
I want a clean slate.
No one comes after me.
No one touches my family.
And in return, Ill help you get Elena out.
Ill give you the opening you need to take him down.
Alexanders mind races as he processes the offer.
Its risky.
Its dangerous.
But its the only way.
If he doesnt take this chance, he might never get another one.
You think Im just going to trust you? Alexander asks, his voice low, barely a whisper.
Im giving you a choice, Alexander.
Betray Rafael, or die with him.
Its that simple.
I dont care about anything else.
You want to save her? This is your only shot.
The silence on the other end of the line stretches on for a few seconds.
Alexander can hear the faint sound of Victor breathing, the tension thick in the air.
You have 10 minutes, Alexander says finally.
Get ready.
Ill meet you where we planned.
Without waiting for a response, he hangs up, the weight of the decision settling in his chest.
He hates this.
He doesnt like making deals with traitors.
But he has no other choice.
Elenas life is worth any price.
He straps the gun to his waist, pulls on his jacket, and heads out the door.
The night is dark, the air thick with the scent of rain.
The streets are empty, but Alexanders mind is fullof plans, of thoughts, of everything thats led up to this moment.
As he walks, he keeps his eyes sharp, scanning the shadows, ready for anything.
He knows this wont be easy.
Victor might betray him at any moment.
But right now, theres no turning back.
His phone buzzes again, this time a message from Nolan.
All set.
Were ready when you are.
Alexander glances at the message and then shoves the phone back into his pocket.
Hes ready.
He has to be.

The alley where hes meeting Victor is quiet, the sound of distant cars and the soft patter of rain the only noises breaking the silence.
He steps into the shadows, his eyes narrowing as he waits for Victor to appear.
The minutes feel like hours.
Every second drags, every thought swirling in his mind.
And then, from the darkness, Victor steps forward, his face partially hidden in the shadows.
Lets get this over with, Alexander says, his voice low, but filled with the authority hes always carried.
Victor nods, and without another word, they both disappear into the night, the weight of the plan hanging between them.
Its now or never.
