Alex.
There was absolutely no way I was leaving this place without Ella.
I had come here with a purpose, and I intended to accomplish it.
My gaze drifted toward her briefly before returning to the triplets standing between us.
A cold determination settled inside me.
Even if it meant causing bloodshed, I wasn't walking away empty-handed.
The thought didn't frighten me, If anything, it strengthened my resolve.
They all seemed to believe I had arrived with only six men and that would be their mistake.
I had originally planned to take Ella home peacefully…trust me, I had really wanted this to be simple—a conversation or rather a reconciliation.
But if they insisted on turning this into a battle, I wasn't unprepared.
One call.
That was all it would take.
My backup men were already on standby, waiting and ready to move at a moment's notice.
The thought brought a faint smile to my lips.
I slowly stepped forward.
