"You're so modest," Mariya purred, settling onto the sofa in a position that required her to lean toward him.

"Most men would be bragging about their heroic rescue for weeks."

"I'm not most men," Sebastian said with growing discomfort at her obvious advances.

"No, you're certainly not," Mariya agreed with sultry appreciation.

"You're strong, dangerous, mysterious—everything a woman finds irresistible."

She's making a move on Sebastian Sterling while her husband is out of the house, Sebastian thought with growing alarm. This situation is spiraling out of control.

"Mrs. Romano," Sebastian said with warning edge to his voice, "I think you're misunderstanding the nature of this conversation."

"Am I?" Mariya asked with bold confidence, moving to perch on the arm of his chair.

"Because I think we both know there's attraction between us."

"What I know," Sebastian replied with sudden harshness, his demeanor shifting from polite to dangerous, "is that you're married to my boss."

    The Romano estate's front entrance became an impromptu war council as Leo's paranoid revelations about his mysterious enemy hung in the air like smoke from a battlefield.Sebastian maintained his expression of loyal concern while internally savoring the irony of Leo seeking his help to hunt down himself."Boss, you've convinced me that this enemy is incredibly dangerous," Sebastian said with apparent dedication. "But how exactly do we find someone who's been hiding successfully for years?""That's where strategic thinking comes into play," Leo replied with manic confidence, his eyes blazing with the fervor of someone who believed he'd finally identified his tormentor."We don't need to find him directly—we just need to follow the trail he's left behind.""What kind of trail?" Sebastian pressed with professional curiosity."Karvel Cross," Leo declared with triumphant certainty."That worthless parasite is the key to everything."Here we go, Sebastian thought with anticipation.Time to

    Sebastian was halfway to his vehicle when the unmistakable roar of Leo's Bentley announced his return to the estate.The car screeched to a halt in the circular driveway with enough force to spray gravel across the manicured lawn, revealing Leo's deteriorating mental state through his increasingly reckless driving.Perfect timing, Sebastian thought with dark satisfaction as he watched Leo emerge from the vehicle like a man possessed.He's exactly as unhinged as I need him to be.Leo slammed his car door with enough violence to rattle the windows, his expensive suit wrinkled and his usually perfect hair disheveled from running his hands through it repeatedly.Dark circles under his eyes suggested he hadn't slept properly in days."STERLING!" Leo roared as he spotted Sebastian near the front entrance."WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?""Mr. Romano," Sebastian replied with apparent surprise at Leo's aggressive tone."I was waiting for you to return so I could deliver my report on the casino

    The transformation from Karvel Cross back to Sebastian Sterling took place in the estate's hidden chamber as dawn broke over Carson City.The prosthetic features, contact lenses, and carefully applied makeup restored the criminal persona that Leo Romano trusted implicitly.From solving ancient plagues to playing the role of a ruthless thug, Sebastian thought with dark amusement as he adjusted his expensive suit. The duality continues to serve its purpose perfectly.His phone buzzed with a message from Leo's security team requesting his presence at the Romano estate for an update on the casino investigation.Sebastian smiled coldly as he prepared to deliver his fabricated report about the "mysterious enemy" who was systematically attacking Leo's empire.The Romano estate buzzed with nervous energy as Sebastian's convoy approached the main entrance.Staff members moved with obvious tension while security personnel maintained heightened alertness throughout the grounds."Mr. Sterling," T

    "I'm finished with my examination," Karvel replied calmly. "Please open the chamber.""ARE YOU INSANE?" screamed Antonio Ricci, one of the uninfected passengers who had been monitoring the situation."HE'S BEEN IN THERE FOR THREE HOURS! HE'S INFECTED!""If we let him out, he'll kill us all!" added Marco Torretti with obvious terror."He needs to be quarantined for at least two weeks!""Dr. Yale," Karvel said with quiet authority, "you brought me here to solve this problem. Either you trust my judgment, or you don't.""But the contamination protocols—" Dr. Yale protested weakly."Are irrelevant in this case," Karvel interrupted with certainty."Open the chamber."With obvious reluctance, Dr. Yale activated the release mechanism, allowing Karvel to exit the isolation chamber while the other passengers backed away in terror."You've doomed us all!" Antonio screamed with hysteria."We're all going to die because of your recklessness!""Actually," Karvel said with calm satisfaction, "you'r

    The yacht's medical bay was a state-of-the-art facility that rivaled most major hospitals, equipped with isolation chambers, advanced monitoring systems.And every piece of diagnostic equipment money could buy.Dr. Yale led Karvel through the sterile corridors with obvious trepidation."Before we proceed," Karvel said with clinical directness, "I need to know who patient zero is. The source of any outbreak is crucial for understanding transmission patterns.""That's... that's part of why this situation requires such discretion," Dr. Yale replied with obvious discomfort."Patient zero is an exotic dancer named Valentina Rossi who was flown in from Eastern Europe specifically for this party.""Flown in by whom?" Karvel pressed with professional intensity."The yacht's owner, Marcus Benedetti," Dr. Yale admitted reluctantly."He's been a close personal friend for over twenty years, which is why he called me instead of going through official medical channels.""Dr. Yale," Karvel said with
