Faye sat stiffly in the luxurious office, her project proposal folder resting lightly on her lap. Every corner of the room exuded wealth and power—pristine glass walls, polished mahogany accents, sleek black furniture with gold trim.

This was Morgan Group.

The best, the biggest, and most elite business conglomerate in the city.

She had prepared herself mentally for a grueling interrogation, a detailed vetting of her struggling company’s past, maybe even subtle humiliation meant to weed out weak applicants.

But instead—

Chairman Hargrove, the formidable CEO of Group A, stood from his desk with a warm smile and extended his hand toward her.

“Miss Langford,” he greeted, “It’s a pleasure to meet you. Please, have a seat.”

Faye blinked in surprise but quickly recovered, shaking his hand. “Thank you. I appreciate you making time to see me so soon.”

Chairman Hargrove nodded. “I’ve already reviewed your proposal. It’s promising.”

She hesitated. “You have?”

He smiled faintly. “Chairman Morgan’

    Yemin turned to Maria with the same calm expression he'd maintained throughout the entire confrontation."Don't worry, Maria. You're not in any danger at all."Francesco's face contorted with rage at Yemin's casual dismissal of the threat."NOT IN DANGER?! Are you fucking insane? Look around you, ninth place! You're outnumbered three to one in a basement with no witnesses!""I can see that," Yemin replied matter-of-factly."Then how can you stand there and tell this bitch she's safe?" Francesco roared, his massive frame trembling with fury. "You're about to get your ass kicked by a real soldier!""You still have the nerve to underestimate me," Francesco continued, his voice rising to a crescendo."Despite the fact that you're inferior to me in every possible way! Rank, training, experience, size - I'm better than you at everything!"Giuseppe and Vincenzo flanked their leader, cracking their knuckles in anticipation of the violence to come."Look at him, Francesco," Giuseppe sneered."

    Francesco Moretti stood in the villa's wine cellar, his massive frame casting long shadows in the dim light.At six-foot-four and built like a tank, he had earned his fourth-ranked position through sheer brutality and unwavering loyalty to Marco.Tonight, he intended to prove to his superiors that he deserved to be counted among the elite."Bring her down here," Francesco commanded his two subordinates, both lower-ranked guards eager to curry favor with their superior.Maria struggled against their grip as they dragged her down the stone steps, her eyes wide with terror."Please, what do you want with me? I haven't done anything wrong!""Shut up, bitch," snarled Giuseppe, one of Francesco's lackeys."You'll find out soon enough.""Yeah, keep your mouth closed unless you want us to find other uses for it," added Vincenzo, the other guard, his laughter echoing off the cellar walls.Francesco grabbed Maria by the throat, his massive hand nearly encircling her neck entirely. "Listen caref

    Back at Marco's villa, the personal guards' frustration with Yemin had reached a boiling point. They gathered in Salvatore's room, their voices low but their anger palpable."This is bullshit," Salvatore said, pacing back and forth like a caged animal. "Three days of harassment and the bastard hasn't even raised his voice.""It's like he doesn't even care," Antonio added, his fists clenched. "What kind of man takes that kind of disrespect without fighting back?""A coward," Luca spat. "A pathetic coward who doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as real men."Francesco leaned against the window, his expression thoughtful. "Maybe he's not a coward. Maybe he's just smart enough to know he can't take all four of us.""Smart?" Salvatore laughed harshly. "There's nothing smart about being a doormat. Real men stand up for themselves.""Well, he's obviously not going to give us the satisfaction of fighting back," Antonio said with frustration. "So what do we do now?""We escalate," Francesc

    The Group A corporate retreat was held at an exclusive mountain resort, complete with panoramic views and luxury accommodations that screamed wealth and prestige.Contractors and executives mingled in the grand lobby, their conversations a careful blend of business networking and social posturing.Faye stood near the floor-to-ceiling windows, admiring the mountain scenery when Katherine approached with an unusually bright smile."Faye! There you are!" Katherine exclaimed, her voice dripping with false warmth."Isn't this place absolutely gorgeous? We're so lucky to be here!"Faye turned, immediately struck by Katherine's overly friendly demeanor."Yes, it's beautiful. The company certainly knows how to treat its contractors.""Oh, we deserve it after all our hard work," Katherine said, linking her arm through Faye's as if they were old friends."Come on, let's grab some champagne and mingle with the executives."As they walked toward the bar, Faye couldn't shake her confusion. This is

    "Let's see how handy he is with his other belongings," Antonio suggested with a wicked grin.Yemin moved to the walk-in closet to inspect his gear.When he opened the door, the full extent of their sabotage became apparent.His spare uniforms had been shredded with knives, his boots had been punctured with dozens of small holes, and his personal items were scattered across the floor in deliberate disarray.The four guards crowded behind him, their laughter filling the small space."Oops," Luca said with mock innocence."Looks like someone had a little accident with your stuff.""What a shame," Francesco added sarcastically."Must have been rats. This old villa has a real pest problem."Yemin picked up one of his boots, examining the neat holes that had been drilled through the leather. Someone had taken considerable time and effort to destroy his belongings."Those holes give your boots character," Salvatore said with a cruel chuckle."Now they'll breathe better. You should thank us f

    The personal guard wing was a stark contrast to the regular barracks.Located on the villa's second floor, it featured private rooms with mahogany furniture, marble bathrooms, and windows overlooking Marco's private gardens.The hallways were lined with expensive artwork and the floors were polished to a mirror shine.Carmine led Yemin down the corridor, his expression neutral but his tone carrying an undertone of warning. "This is where the elite guards stay. Room twelve is yours."As they approached the room, the sounds of conversation and laughter echoed from behind several doors. Carmine stopped at a heavy oak door marked with a brass number twelve."Your belongings have already been moved here," Carmine said, unlocking the door."Dinner is at seven sharp in the dining hall. Don't be late."The door swung open to reveal a spacious room with a four-poster bed, an antique dresser, and a walk-in closet. Yemin stepped inside, and Carmine left without another word.The moment Yemin sat
