The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate

But Carlos held firm, his grip unyielding.

Cristina continued to plead through her tears.

“Carlos, how can you be so heartless? She’s being mistreated, and instead of helping, you attack her because Caleb told you to?”

With his hand stuck and now pulled by Cristina, Carlos winced in pain but maintained his hold.

Trying to calm Cristina, Carlos said, breathing heavily, “Aunt, please stay out of this.

You don’t know the extent of the foolish things Neal and Alexandria have done.

It’s only right they face the consequences.

If you interfere, you’ll only get dragged down too.

”

Cristina ignored him, her gaze fixed on Alexandria’s reddening face.

Panic and fear overtaking her, she shouted, “Carlos, how can you be so ungrateful? After everything I’ve done for you, is this how you repay me?”

The expression on Carlos’ face grew grim as he sighed, his tone icy.

“That’s different.

I acknowledge your past help and I intend to repay it, but not at this moment.

You can’t stop me now.

”

Cristina, frantic and undeterred, struggled to pull his hand from Alexandria’s throat.

Despite her efforts, she couldn’t budge his arm.

On the brink of despair, Cristina pleaded through her tears.

“Carlos… Alexandria is my only daughter, my sole reason to live.

Please, let her go.

If she dies by your hand, I’ll take my own life right here, and you’ll have to live with that guilt forever!”

Carlos paused, then glanced over at Caleb, seeking some form of guidance.

Caleb, observing Alexandria’s pale and desperate state, signaled to Carlos to ease his grip.

Understanding Caleb’s gesture, Carlos slightly loosened his hold, allowing Alexandria just enough air to breathe shallowly.

As Alexandria gasped for air, her fiery anger was momentarily overshadowed by her urgent need to survive.

Caleb’s POV:

Seeing Alexandria momentarily subdued, I seized the chance to negotiate.

“Alexandria, contact Cory and have him return Dylan.

Otherwise, you won’t make it through the day.

”

I was confident Alexandria understood the gravity of her situation.

However, just as I finished, Cristina began to plead desperately, her head shaking vehemently.

“No Please, let Alexandria go… She made a mistake, but her intentions were good.

Please let her live.

.

” Tears streamed down Cristina’s face, muddling her words.

I met their pleas with a cold gaze and stated firmly, “My position is clear.

”

Cristina, grasping the severity of the moment, urgently said to Alexandria, “Just give up.

Let it go…”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Alexandria remained silent, her expression empty and unyielding.

Cristina, growing increasingly agitated, continued, “Let’s end this madness, okay? Money and power are illusions.

If you lose your life, nothing else matters.
