Rafaela's POV
I was trembling with a mix of fear and frustration. The pressure from Rigo was immense, and the stakes had never been higher. Our situation was dire, and the walls were closing in. We had to act quickly or risk everything we had worked for being destroyed.
Rigo's threats were unyielding. He made it clear that if I didn't fix this, he would make me suffer in ways I couldn't even imagine. His focus now was on Liezel, the CBI agent who had been a persistent thorn in our side. Her actions had put us all in jeopardy, and Rigo's insistence on eliminating her was both a threat and an ultimatum.
I sat in my dimly lit office, the shadows flickering across the walls as the late evening settled in. My mind was racing as I tried to formulate a plan that would satisfy Rigo and ensure our survival. The prospect of killing Liezel was both a relief and a burden. It was a drastic measure, but it was one we had to consider to remove her as an obstacle.
Rafaela: (muttering to herself) "This is insane. How did it come to this?"
My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. I turned to see one of my trusted associates entering the room, a look of urgency on his face.
Associate: "Rafaela, we need to discuss the plan. Time is running out, and we have to act swiftly."
I nodded, trying to compose myself. I could feel the weight of the situation pressing down on me.
Rafaela: "Alright. What's the latest?"
Associate: "We've been monitoring Liezel's movements. She's more cautious than we anticipated, which means we need to be strategic. We have to hit her where she least expects it."
I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves.
Rafaela: "What are our options?"
Associate: "We've identified a few potential opportunities. Liezel's routine suggests she often takes specific routes or frequents certain places. We could use this to our advantage. The key is to strike when she is most vulnerable."
I thought about the details. Liezel had been diligent in her efforts, and her vigilance was making it difficult to find a suitable opportunity. But Rigo's demands were clear, and I had no choice but to find a way.
Rafaela: "What about her personal life? Is there anything we can exploit there?"
The associate nodded, pulling up a file on his tablet.
Associate: "We've learned that Liezel has a few close connections and frequents certain places outside of work. We could leverage these to our advantage. If we can get close to her through these connections or lure her into a trap, we might have a chance."
I felt a chill run down my spine as the gravity of the situation sank in. This was no longer just about me and Rigo; this was about ensuring our survival at any cost. The thought of killing Liezel was distasteful, but the alternative was far worse.
Rafaela: "Alright, let's proceed with the plan. We need to be meticulous. If we fail, we could lose everything."
Associate: "Understood. I'll ensure the team is ready and that we have everything in place for the operation."
As the associate left the room, I was left alone with my thoughts. The decision to kill Liezel was something I never wanted to make, but the circumstances left me with no other choice. I had to protect myself and my interests, even if it meant betraying my own conscience.
The plan was set into motion, and I could only hope that it would be enough to satisfy Rigo and ensure our survival. As I prepared for the inevitable confrontation, I couldn't shake the feeling of dread that had settled over me. The cost of survival was high, and I feared what it would mean for all of us in the end.
