"You don't know what you're messing with," Vanessa said, her voice dropping to something dangerous. "That compound—the one you STOLE from my apartment—it's not a toy. It's not a love potion. It's a neuropharmaceutical weapon that can cause permanent brain damage if used incorrectly."Victor's smug expression flickered. "I don't know what—""YES YOU DO!" Vanessa interrupted. "Stop lying! I can SEE what you did to Katarina! I can see the overdose symptoms! You used too much! You don't understand dosage, delivery, suggestion techniques—NOTHING!"She stepped closer, her corporate negotiator facade replaced by genuine fury. "So here's what's going to happen: You're going to give Katarina back. Right now. And you're going to hand over ALL the spray canisters you stole. Every single one. And maybe—MAYBE—I won't destroy you."Victor's smugness vanished completely, replaced by something mean, something vicious. "Or what? You'll call the cops with your illegal compound? You'll explain to them h

Alexander's hand moved faster.He caught the punch mid-strike. Not blocked. Not deflected. Caught. His fingers closed around the trainer's fist like a steel trap.The trainer's eyes went wide. "What the—"Alexander twisted. Not brutally. Not unnecessarily. Just precisely—using leverage and pressure points to send waves of pain up the trainer's arm.The trainer gasped, tried to pull back. Alexander didn't let go. Instead, he stepped forward, using the grip on the trainer's fist to control his entire body."I said," Alexander repeated quietly, "I'm getting there whether you like it or not."He shoved. Not hard. Just enough.The trainer stumbled backward, crashed into the wall, slid down to a sitting position. His face cycled through shock, confusion, and something that might have been fear."How are you—you shouldn't be—" the trainer stammered.But Alexander was already walking past him, climbing the stairs, leaving the trainer sitting there in complete disbelief.That technique, the tr

Vanessa drove home in silence, her mind working through the problem of Victor Chen and the stolen Mesmerizer. How had he even known about it? How had he found her apartment? How had he gotten past her security?Inside information, Vanessa concluded grimly. Someone told him. Someone who knew I had the compound. Someone who knew where I kept it.She made a mental list of people who might have that knowledge. The list was disturbingly short—which meant the betrayal had come from someone close.But that was a problem for later. Right now, she needed to focus on helping Katarina.The Mesmerizer had an antidote—a counter-compound that broke the neurological hold and restored normal brain function. Vanessa had prepared some months ago as a safety measure, stored it in her home laboratory alongside the other canisters.If I can get the antidote to Katarina, Vanessa thought, if I can dose her when Victor's not looking, she'll snap out of the control. She'll remember what he did. And then we ca

The crowd murmured excitedly. This was it. The opportunity everyone had been hoping for."Tomorrow," Viktor continued, "we hold tournament. Single elimination. All trainees may enter. Winner becomes my disciple. Learns EVERYTHING I can teach. Everything.""How will the tournament work?" someone called out."Simple bracket," Viktor replied. "Random pairings. Standard MMA rules. Fight until submission or knockout. Winner advances. Loser goes home."Coach Dmitri stepped forward with a clipboard. "We'll set up the roster now. All interested trainees, give me your names."Hands shot up throughout the crowd. At least forty trainees eager to compete. Dmitri started writing names, organizing them into a bracket structure.Alexander moved forward through the crowd, trying to reach Dmitri.But the senior trainer—the one Alexander had left sitting in the basement—spotted him first."WHAT is HE doing here?" the trainer shouted, pointing at Alexander. "Howard shouldn't even BE in this hall! I sent

The crowd was still processing Viktor Konstantin's decision to allow Alexander into the tournament when a booming voice cut through the murmurs."THIS IS A JOKE!"Everyone turned.A massive figure strode toward the center mat—Trevor "The Hammer" Morrison, one of Fit Titans' most notorious third-tier fighters. Six-foot-six, two hundred eighty pounds of muscle and ego, his chest covered with tattoos documenting his various championship wins.Trevor was everything Alexander wasn't: wealthy background, years of professional training, a reputation built on actual victories. He'd won regional MMA tournaments, kickboxing championships, even an underground bare-knuckle competition that had left three opponents hospitalized.He was also known for something else: brutality. Trevor didn't just win fights—he destroyed opponents. Used techniques that skirted the edge of legal, inflicted maximum damage, sent people to the medical wing regularly even during supposedly light sparring.The coaches tol

Vanessa tried calling Alexander three more times in rapid succession. Each call went straight to voicemail—his phone must have been on silent for the ceremony.Damn it, Vanessa thought. He needs to know about this. Needs to know Victor has everything now.She knew the plan had been to avoid being seen together publicly—to maintain Alexander's cover as a struggling nobody without wealthy connections. But this was too important. Too urgent.Vanessa drove to Fit Titans, parking in the visitor lot and rushing to the main entrance.The same security guards from before blocked her path. "Sorry, ma'am. Private event in progress. No visitors.""I need to speak with Alexander Howard," Vanessa insisted. "It's an emergency. A personal emergency.""Can't help you," the first guard said. "Viktor Konstantin is addressing the trainees. Nobody gets in or out until he's finished.""You don't understand—" Vanessa started."WE understand that you're not getting in," the second guard interrupted. "So you

Alexander stood at the edge of the mat, watching medics tend to Brian Carver who was finally regaining his breath. Two third-tier fighters defeated in seconds. The crowd dispersing in shocked whispers. Viktor Konstantin watching with calculating intensity.But Alexander's mind was elsewhere.Katarina. Drugged. Controlled. In Victor Chen's penthouse right now, losing herself to repeated doses of the Mesmerizer. Every hour that passed was another hour of potential permanent damage. Another hour where Victor could be doing irreversible harm.And this tournament—this elaborate bracket system with forty-two competitors—would take days to complete. First round tomorrow. Second round the day after. Quarter-finals. Semi-finals. Finals. By the time a winner emerged and earned Viktor Konstantin's training, it might be too late for Katarina.I don't have days, Alexander realized with cold clarity. I have hours. Maybe less.A third fighter was stepping forward now—Marcus Bennett, the same one who
CHAPTER 143 PART 2
Through it all, Alexander stood perfectly still. Waiting. Watching Viktor Konstantin. Letting the founder see past the shabby appearance, past the janitor history, past everything superficial.See me, Alexander thought. Really see me. See what I am. What I was. What I'm becoming again.Viktor's eyes narrowed slightly. He tilted his head, studying Alexander from a new angle. The protests and insults faded to background noise as Viktor seemed to enter a space where only he and Alexander existed.Then, slowly, Viktor raised one hand.Silence didn't come immediately. The coaches were too worked up. The trainees too shocked by Alexander's audacity.Viktor reached for the ceremonial gavel on the nearby table—a symbolic item used to open and close official proceedings. He raised it.And brought it down with a sharp, definitive bang that echoed through the entire hall.CRACK.Instant silence. The kind of silence that comes when absolute authority makes itself known."I have heard Howard's pro
CHAPTER 144 PART 1
Vanessa sat in her car outside Fit Titans for another twenty minutes, trying repeatedly to reach Alexander. When it became clear the facility wasn't going to let her inside and Alexander wasn't answering his phone, she made a decision.The founder must be in there right now, Vanessa reasoned. That's why security is so tight. That's why Alexander can't answer. This is exactly what he's been working toward for weeks.She couldn't interrupt that. Couldn't risk ruining Alexander's one chance to get Viktor Konstantin's help by showing up and revealing their connection.He trusted me with Katarina's safety, Vanessa thought, her hands tightening on the steering wheel. And I failed. Victor broke into my apartment, stole everything, and now has complete control over her. I can't fail again.She pulled out her phone and started making calls. First to her head of security. "Marcus, I need a tactical team. Discreet. Professional. People who can breach a high-security residence without leaving evi
CHAPTER 144 PART 2
If he ignored this, his father would lose the contract. Would blame Victor. Would potentially cut him off financially—something his father had threatened before when Victor's "romantic pursuits" had interfered with business.But if he left Katarina here alone, even for a few hours, the Mesmerizer dose might wear off completely. She might escape. Might call for help. Might remember what he'd done.Unless I dose her again, Victor thought. Heavily. Enough that she'll stay compliant for hours. Maybe even days."I'll be there," Victor told his father. "Just need to handle something first."He hung up and turned back to Katarina, raising the canister again. "Sorry, my love. But this is going to be a bit more than usual. Just to make sure you're safe while I'm gone."He pressed the trigger. Held it down. Spraying far more than the recommended dose. Watching Katarina's eyes glaze over completely, watching the resistance in her expression vanish, watching her become a perfect, compliant puppet
