In the weeks leading up to the trial, an invisible wall had formed between Yemin and Faye. Neither reached out to the other—Yemin didn't want to drag her deeper into the scandal that was consuming his life, while Faye remained conflicted, unwilling to risk her reputation by publicly supporting him despite her private belief in his innocence.

The day of the trial arrived with massive media attention. The courthouse was surrounded by news vans and protesters holding signs both condemning and supporting Yemin. Inside the packed courtroom, tension filled the air as everyone waited for the proceedings to begin.

When Judge Patricia Williams called the court to order, she addressed Yemin directly. "Mr. Morgan, I understand you wish to represent yourself in this matter?"

Yemin rose from his seat, looking impeccably dressed and completely composed. "Yes, Your Honor. I will be representing myself with the assistance of counsel."

A collective gasp rippled through the courtroom. The prosecution t

    But even as he asked the question, he knew the answer. Yemin Morgan's reach was apparently far more extensive than anyone had realized.While Justin rotted in his cell, Agent Collins was busy implementing his emergency protocol. The first stop was a rundown apartment building on the east side, where he found Marcus Webb, a low-level drug dealer who had witnessed one of the Sphinx's operations."Please, man, I don't want any trouble," Marcus pleaded as Agent Collins kicked down his door."You testified against my boss," Agent Collins said coldly, pulling out a silenced pistol. "That was a mistake.""I didn't have a choice! The cops said they'd put me away for twenty years if I didn't cooperate!""And now you're going away permanently."The gunshot was barely audible through the silencer, but Marcus Webb's body hit the floor with a definitive thud.Agent Collins's next stop was the office of forensic accountant Sarah Mitchell, who had been instrumental in tracking the Sphinx's financial

    The chaos outside Justin Castellanos's building was unlike anything the city had seen in years.Camera flashes erupted like fireworks as reporters pressed against the police barriers, their voices creating a deafening cacophony of questions and accusations."Mr. Castellanos! How do you respond to allegations linking your company to multiple unsolved murders?""Is it true that you ordered the assassination of key city officials?""What about the bribes to judges and politicians?"Justin's face was a mask of barely controlled fury as he was led through the gauntlet of media attention. The handcuffs bit into his wrists, but the humiliation cut far deeper than any physical discomfort."This is a fucking witch hunt!" he snarled at the nearest reporter. "You vultures don't know what you're talking about!"A reporter from Channel 9 pushed her microphone closer. "Mr. Castellanos, sources say you've been operating a criminal empire for over two decades. Do you deny these charges?""I deny ever

    "Sir, maybe we should lay low for a while," Vincent suggested cautiously. "Yemin is starting to look more dangerous than we initially thought. Maybe even more dangerous than his mother was."The mention of Elena Ashford only fueled Justin's anger further. "Don't you dare compare that upstart to her. Elena Ashford was a formidable opponent, but she was predictable. This... this is something else entirely."Before Vincent could respond, another subordinate burst through the office doors, his face pale with panic."Sir! Sir, we have a problem!""What now?" Justin snapped."The police are here looking for you, sir. They're asking questions and demanding to speak with you personally."Justin scoffed in disbelief, his anger momentarily replaced by incredulous laughter. "The police? Here? Do they have any idea who they're dealing with?""Sir, they seem very serious," the subordinate continued nervously. "They're not taking no for an answer.""Then go out there and remind them who signs their

    Faye stood in the doorway, her hands trembling slightly as she met Yemin's gaze.The weight of her guilt was evident in every line of her posture, and when she spoke, her voice was barely above a whisper."Yemin, I came to apologize," she began, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "I know I have no right to be here after what I did."Yemin stepped aside, allowing her to enter. Marcus Chen gathered up some of the sensitive documents from the desk, giving them privacy while remaining close enough to intervene if needed."Faye, you don't need to—""No, please let me finish," she interrupted, her voice growing stronger. "You warned me that things would get dangerous and bad. You told me that being close to you would put me at risk, and I promised I would stand by you. I said I would be with you no matter what happened."Yemin watched her carefully, noting the pain in her expression. "Faye—""But when the time came, when you actually needed me, I froze up," she continued, her voice brea

    Agent Collins stood frozen in the courthouse hallway, his fists clenched as he watched Yemin's triumphant exit through the glass doors.The fury burning in his chest was almost unbearable.What was this man not good at?They had poured weeks of planning, countless resources, and significant money into fabricating that evidence, and Yemin had dismantled it like it was nothing more than a house of cards.Inside the courtroom, Rebecca Martinez sat trembling in the witness chair, tears streaming down her face as the reality of her situation crashed down on her.The courtroom buzzed with whispers and murmurs as reporters frantically scribbled notes and spectators processed what they had just witnessed.Yemin approached the witness stand with calculated steps, his voice cutting through the noise like a blade."Ms. Martinez, you have exactly ten seconds to tell this court who put you up to this charade, or I will personally ensure you're bankrupted to the seventh generation."Rebecca's eyes

    The tension in the courtroom was palpable as Rebecca Martinez sat frozen on the witness stand, unable to answer Yemin's simple question about what was on his torso."Objection!" Prosecutor Alex Morrison shouted desperately, jumping to his feet. "This line of questioning is irrelevant to the charges!""Overruled," Judge Patricia Williams replied firmly. "The witness has testified extensively about intimate knowledge of the defendant's body. This question is directly relevant to her credibility.""It's a very simple question, Ms. Martinez," Yemin said calmly, his voice carrying clearly through the silent courtroom. "If you've seen me naked a hundred times over several months, surely you can describe what's on my chest and torso?"Rebecca's eyes darted desperately toward the prosecution table, silently pleading for help, but Morrison and his team had no way to assist her without revealing their knowledge of the fabricated evidence.Realizing she had to say something, Rebecca decided to t
