The threat had been made.
Titan Holdings wasn't just trying to destroy Isabella and Alexander's careers anymore.
They wanted them gone. Permanently.
The Decision to Fight Back
Isabella's hands tightened around her phone as she replayed the chilling voice in her head.
"If you don't back down, we will end you."
Alexander stood close, his gaze locked onto her. "We knew this would happen." His voice was calm, but there was an edge of fury beneath it. "They don't scare us."
Damian, sitting at the edge of Alexander's desk, let out a low whistle. "They went straight for the death threats. That means they're running out of moves."
Claire, arms crossed, shook her head. "This isn't just a power struggle anymore. They've crossed a line."
Isabella exhaled sharply. "Then we take the fight to them before they try again."
She turned to Alexander. "No more waiting. We expose everything."
Unleashing the Truth
Damian smirked. "Already ahead of you." He tossed his phone onto the table, where a full dossier on Titan Holdings' illegal activities was displayed.
Offshore accounts. Bribes. Covert surveillance. Assassination rumors.
Claire scanned the documents, her expression grim. "This is enough to bring them down."
Alexander studied the files, then met Isabella's gaze. "We leak it all."
She nodded. "And not just anonymously." Her voice was steady. "We attach our names to it. We go public."
Damian's eyes widened. "You realize that'll make you the biggest targets in the country?"
Isabella's heart pounded, but she lifted her chin. "Good. Let them come."
Alexander's smirk turned razor-sharp. "They threatened the wrong people."
The First Strike
An hour later, the news broke.
Headline: CORPORATE TITAN EXPOSED – WHISTLEBLOWERS ALEXANDER BLACKWOOD & ISABELLA CARTER SPEAK OUT.
The media storm was instant.
Titan Holdings tried to deny the claims. But the evidence was overwhelming.
Bank records. Leaked emails. Witness testimony.
And at the center of it all?
Alexander and Isabella—once enemies, now unstoppable together.
Titan's Response
Then—Titan Holdings finally made their move.
Alexander's phone buzzed. A new message.
Unknown Number: You should have stayed quiet. Now, you'll regret it.
A second later—Claire's phone rang. She answered, listened for a few seconds, then went pale.
She looked up, voice shaking. "Someone just put a bounty on both of you."
Silence.
Then Alexander exhaled slowly. His eyes met Isabella's, and for the first time, she saw something new in them.
Not just anger. Not just determination.
But the certainty that neither of them would ever walk away from this fight.
He reached for her hand. "We end them. Now."
And Isabella?
She squeezed his hand back.
"Together."
