Chapter 53 - The Cavalry
The mercenaries moved cautiously into the living room, realizing their target was not a helpless socialite. They flanked the fireplace, moving toward the hallway where Elena had retreated.
Elena raised her gun, preparing to fire around the corner, knowing she was heavily outgunned.

The doors flew open. Alejandro stepped out into the chaos, an assault rifle in his hands, his eyes blazing with absolute, lethal fury.
He didn't hesitate. He opened fire, moving with terrifying speed and precision. In less than ten seconds, the remaining mercenaries were down, completely neutralized by a man protecting his family.
"Elena!"
Alejandro shouted, dropping his rifle and running into the hallway.
