The Fake Death Plan Are you ready to die, Elena? Rafaels voice slides through the air like a knife, smooth but lethal.
He tilts his head, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips as he studies her, amusement dancing in his dark eyes.
Elena freezes, her heart skipping a beat.
For a split second, she thinks he might be serious.
But then she catches the glint of that twisted amusement in his eyes, and she knows its a game to him.
Always a game.
She meets his gaze, her spine straightening, her fingers tightening around the edges of the desk in front of her.
Not yet, she replies, her voice steady even though her mind is racing.
Shes playing a dangerous game, and she knows it.
But she doesnt have a choice.
Rafael laughs softly, the sound echoing through the empty room, his voice rich with dark pleasure.
Youve been running from me for so long, mi amor.
But you cant hide forever.
He steps closer, and Elena feels her breath catch in her throat.
Shes been so close to breaking free, to escaping this nightmare.
But every time she thinks she has a way out, Rafael is right there, one step ahead of her.
He reaches out, his hand hovering near her face, his fingers lightly brushing her cheek.
Its not tender, not loving.
Its possessive, like hes marking her, reminding her that shes his.
Elena fights the urge to flinch, keeping her body still even as her pulse races.
She knows better than to show any weakness in front of him.
But inside, everything is screaming.
Youll never escape me, he murmurs, his lips dangerously close to her ear.
Not now.
Not ever.
But Elena has a plan.
A dangerous, risky plan that could either be her salvation or her final mistake.
Shes spent weeks gathering intel, carefully laying the groundwork for this moment.
Shes been biding her time, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
And now, with Rafael so convinced that hes broken her, she has a chance.
A chance to make him think shes dead.
A chance to escape.
A chance to end this.
She doesnt answer him, doesnt give him the satisfaction of seeing her fear.
Instead, she smiles softly, pretending to give in.
Youre right, she says, her voice sweet with false sincerity.
I cant run anymore.
Ill never escape you.
Rafaels smirk widens, clearly pleased with her submission.
Good, he purrs.
Youre finally starting to understand.
As he steps back, Elena watches him carefully, her mind already working.
Shes gathered everything she needsthe documents, the evidence, the secrets that will bring his entire empire crashing down.

Her secret ally, a contact shes been working with for months, is waiting for her in the shadows.
Hes a hacker, someone Rafael trusts but never suspects.
And with his help, shes managed to get her hands on the files that could destroy everything Rafaels worked for.
All she needs to do now is send them to Alexander.
She takes a slow, steadying breath, reaching for the folder hidden in the drawer of her desk.
Her fingers tremble, but only slightly.
She cant afford to make a mistake.
Not now.
Not when shes so close.
Elena opens the folder, her eyes scanning the documents quickly.
There are blueprints, financial records, illegal transactionseverything Rafael has ever done to build his empire, to control everyone around him.
Her heart pounds as she snaps a photo of the most incriminating pages with her phone.
She makes sure the images are clear, the details sharp.
Then, with a practiced hand, she sends them to Alexander.
Its done.
But just as the message is sent, Elena hears footsteps.
She freezes.
Her blood runs cold.
Rafael.
She turns around slowly, her heart pounding in her chest as she locks eyes with him.
His gaze is calculating, sharp.
Hes been watching her.
Always watching.
Getting a little too comfortable, arent we? Rafaels voice is soft, like hes savoring the moment.
Elena doesnt speak, doesnt move.
Her mind is racing, her plan unraveling before her eyes.
She tries to keep her expression neutral, but she knows hes already suspected something.
Ive been letting you play your little game, he continues, his voice dark with amusement.
But youre not as clever as you think, Elena.
Ive always known what you were doing.
Her heart sinks.
Shes been caught.
And now, theres no way out.
