Guns pointed at Elliot as he was surrounded; the shock was relentless. Rose and Maxwell walked forward with their guns in hand. "Hello, Elliot, surprise," Rose said triumphantly. It was noticeable that Elliot was trying to comprehend what was happening, and the sight made her proud. "Surprised that you were found? Well, it was all thanks to you."

"H-H-How is this possible?" Elliot's shock was overcome with rage. "How did you find us!?"

"As I always said, even the most arrogant and prideful people always have their flaws. When you ran away, we thoroughly looked throughout your house and found the safe that contained important  documents. Recpiets were also found especially your purchases from the dark web."

Maxwell said, "I am an expert in the dark web since that is how we find criminals like yourself. You were foolish enough to fall for the website I created. It was pure luck that you chose it. However, you were slightly clever in constantly changing your username, but you changed it into something that represented on what you used to do."

Elliot couldn't believe he had been caught and outsmarted. His desperation to escape overwhelmed him, so he didn't carefully examine the website he had purchased for his new identity. Meanwhile, Alexandria fully opened her eyes and saw everyone around her. Seeing Rose and Richard made her overjoyed, and she wanted to scream with relief and happiness. The pain and fear she felt disappeared. "R-Richard!?"

Richard stood behind Maxwell and Rose, and he walked beside Rose, who motioned not to get too close. "Alexandria! We're here!"

Seeing Alexandria having hope that someone was going to take him from his grasp made him enraged even more. Her strong will returned, and she would no longer fear. The chance to overpower and destroy the strength she thought she had was coming to an end. Looking at Richard, he couldn't believe how handsome he was. Elliot always considered himself handsome and perfect; women flocked toward him. His looks weren't even enough to get Alexandria's attention. 

He then remembered that Alexandria stayed with Richard; if that was true, then the thought of them touching each other made him even more enraged than he already was. Elliot felt that he should have been the one to have Alexandria and be on top and in power. What outraged him the most was that she would have willingly let another man have power and control over her. Something he couldn't achieve. Noticing that law enforcement was closing on him, it would be only a matter of time before the world would see him in cuffs.

All the people he destroyed would see him destroyed. 

Elliot bit his lower lip. He looked at Rose, who looked triumphant. A woman was going to take all the glory. The image of his wife, Amanda, appeared before him, causing his eyes to widen. "A-Amanda, how is this possible??" Everyone, including Alexandria, looked confused. 

The image of Amanda smiled, but it was not a soft smile she would give him whenever he returned to work; it was a sadistic smile. "Look at you, Elliot. Look at what you have become. I can't believe I blinded myself from seeing who you truly were. I can't believe I was willing to sacrifice more of myself for a weak man like you."

"Weak? Weak!? You whore! You left everything and everyone for me because you were stupid enough to believe me!" Elliot smirked sadistically. "Look at what your stupidity got you. Your parents will always know that they will never see their daughter again. That their daughter was nothing more than a whore who broke her marriage for a man like me! It only goes to show how easily you were manipulated!"

"Yet, look at you now. People will never know how and who I truly was. Yet, people will know who Elliot Landon is and always was; a coward. A coward who killed his wife and people who were not at fault due to his pride and obsession. A coward who spied and desired to control a woman who never wanted him no matter how much good looks and money he had." The image of Amanda looked at Richard, and her sadistic smile widened as she looked at her husband. "A coward who couldn't accept the fact that there was another man who his obsession desired. Look around you and where you have fallen, a fitting end for a dog."

Her words echoed in his mind; Elliot felt he lost his mind. He didn't want to live knowing about his tarnished reputation nor that he was never to regain his power in Alexandria. Without warning, he grabbed Alexandria, making everyone stop around him. Elliot got his gun while holding a frightened Alexandria, who tried to move away from him. The gun was put on her head, making her stop. 

"Elliot, put the weapon down. You-" Rose was interrupted as Elliot laughed.

His laughs echoed throughout the building, concerning everyone. Richard watched helplessly as he couldn't do anything to save Alexandria. 

"YOU ALL THINK YOU HAVE WON! NO! I AM ELLIOT LANDON AND I ALWAYS WILL WIN!" Elliot then put his face next to Alexandria's; their faces touched. Alexandria looked at him with widened eyes as he glared at her. "You haven't won, Alexandria. If I can't have you in this life then I will in death." He put the gun onto the side of his head.

"NO! DON'T!"  Richard screamed as he went to run toward them.

It was too late; the gun was fired.

Everyone watched in horror at the scene before them. Richard fell to his knees as he saw the pool of blood. "ALEXANDRIA!"
