The atmosphere inside the Katherine residence was tense and suffocating. Katherine sat stiffly on the couch, her jaw clenched, an ice pack pressed to her still-swollen cheek. How dare he humiliate me like this, she thought, the memory of the restaurant scene replaying in her mind like a nightmare on loop. James paced back and forth like a caged animal.

"I can't believe that bastard," he growled, throwing his arms up. "Everything we built—gone, just like that!"

"Because of him," Katherine spat, the word like venom on her tongue. "That worthless roach of a man—Yemin."

James turned sharply. "And the worst part? Everyone at the restaurant… they saw. They all saw us getting slapped, dragged out like trash. How the hell do we come back from that?Our reputation in tatters in front of the exact people we needed to impress.”

Before Katherine could answer, her phone buzzed. It was her mother. Within seconds, her entire family had gathered in the living room after the call. Faces were pale, vo

    While this conversation played out at the front of the mansion, Yemin had already scaled the estate's rear wall and was making his way through the manicured gardens toward the main building.Perfect, he thought as he watched the security team's attention focused entirely on the police at the front entrance. They never expect someone to be bold enough to infiltrate while they're dealing with official visitors.Back at the front gate, Chief Morrison was growing increasingly frustrated with the stone wall of legal protection surrounding Joseph Ultra."We have reason to believe a kidnapping victim may be on this property!""That's a very serious accusation, Chief. I hope you have evidence to support such a claim.""We have a missing person report and credible witness testimony!""Then I suggest you present that evidence to a judge and obtain proper legal authorization. Until then, this conversation is over.""This is obstruction of justice!""This is protection of private property rights.

    Yemin stared at Chief Morrison with a mixture of disbelief and rage, his hands clenching into fists as the full implications of what he had just heard sank in."Are you seriously telling me that there are people in this city who can kidnap innocent women in broad daylight and face absolutely no consequences?""That's exactly what I'm telling you, Yemin. People like Joseph Ultra operate above the law.""Above the law? This is America, not some third-world dictatorship!""Wake up, Yemin! Money talks, and when you have enough of it, it drowns out everything else - including justice.""So Faye is just supposed to disappear? Become another missing person case that gets buried in paperwork?""I'm sorry, but that's the reality of the situation. Joseph Ultra is untouchable."This is the true power of Sphinx, Yemin realized with growing fury. Not just criminal operations, but complete immunity from legal consequences. No wonder they've been operating for decades."Chief, this only strengthens

    "Now then, beautiful, let me ask you one more time," Joseph continued, moving uncomfortably close to her restrained form. "Will you be mine willingly? Will you submit to everything I want to do to you?""Never! I'll never submit to a disgusting monster like you!"Joseph's massive hand connected with Faye's face in a slap that made her ears ring and brought tears to her eyes."Wrong answer, sweetheart. Very wrong answer.""Go to hell!""You'll rot in this dungeon before I'm finished with you," Joseph snarled. "But don't worry - you won't be bored. I have so many stories to tell you about all the other beautiful women who thought they were too good for Joseph Ultra."He began securing additional restraints around her wrists and ankles, making her position even more helpless."Let me tell you about Sarah," Joseph continued conversationally. "She was a lawyer, very successful, very proud. She lasted three weeks before she begged me to kill her.""You're lying!""And then there was Michell

    Despite Faye's desperate struggles and attempts to break free, Joseph Ultra's men dragged her through the museum's service exit and forced her into a black limousine waiting in the shadows. Her screams were muffled by one of the thugs' massive hands as they shoved her into the backseat."Please! Someone help me!" Faye cried as the car doors slammed shut, trapping her between two enormous bodyguards."Save your breath, sweetheart," one of the men said with cruel amusement. "No one's coming to rescue you now.""Where are you taking me? What does that monster want with me?""You'll find out soon enough. Mr. Ultra has very specific plans for beautiful women like you."The limousine drove through the city's winding streets for nearly an hour before reaching the old money district, where massive estates hid behind iron gates and towering walls. They passed through an imposing entrance and up a long driveway to a Gothic mansion that looked like something from a horror movie."Welcome to your

    Faye stood up from her table at the museum, her patience finally exhausted after an hour of unanswered calls and growing humiliation. The elegant evening she had anticipated had turned into a nightmare of abandonment and embarrassment."That's it," she announced to herself, gathering her purse and wrap. "I'm done waiting for someone who clearly doesn't give a damn about basic human decency."As she turned toward the museum's exit, a massive figure stepped directly into her path. The man was enormously fat, easily over three hundred pounds, with greasy hair and small, predatory eyes that made her skin crawl."Well, hello there, beautiful," the man said in a voice that sounded like gravel mixed with honey. "I've been watching you all evening, and I have to say, you're absolutely stunning.""Excuse me, I need to get past," Faye replied curtly, trying to step around the enormous obstacle."Now, now, don't be in such a hurry," he continued, moving to block her path again. "I'm Joseph Ultra

    Back at the Special Museum of Zoology, Faye sat alone on an ornate bench in the main exhibition hall, her elegant evening dress now feeling like a costume for a cruel joke.She had spent the last two hours searching every corner of the museum for Yemin, growing increasingly worried and frustrated with each passing minute.Where could he have gone? she wondered desperately as she pulled out her phone and dialed his number for the dozenth time that evening.The call went straight to voicemail again, just like all the others. Faye's worry was rapidly transforming into burning anger as the reality of her situation became clear."He just left me here," she muttered to herself, her voice echoing in the empty hallway. "He actually asked me out on a date and then disappeared without a word."She tried calling again, holding the phone to her ear as it rang endlessly before going to his generic voicemail message. "This is unbelievable! What kind of person does this?"An elderly security guard n
