Chapter 149
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
CHAPTER 148 PART 2
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
CHAPTER 148 PART 1
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
CHAPTER 147 PART 1
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
CHAPTER 146 PART 2
"But there's something you need to understand," Yemin interrupted, his voice taking on a menacing edge. "This treatment needs to be reapplied weekly, or the effects will return permanently."Sophia's eyes snapped open in horror. "What do you mean?""I mean you'll need me to give you the antidote every seven days, or your face will sag even worse than tonight. And next time, it won't be reversible.""You bastard!" Sophia snarled. "You're blackmailing me!""I'm ensuring your cooperation," Yemin corrected. "As long as you keep your mouth shut about tonight and continue being helpful when I need it, you'll stay beautiful. Try to betray me, and you'll spend the rest of your life looking like a withered corpse."Sophia's hands clenched into fists, but she knew she was trapped. "I hate you.""I don't care. Just remember our arrangement."The next morning, Marco gathered his guards in the villa's main courtyard. The men stood in formation, their faces showing varying degrees of curiosity and
