Six months after the collapse of Thomas Morgan's criminal empire, Yemin stood in the witness box of the federal courthouse, his testimony serving as the final nail in the coffin of one of the largest human trafficking operations in the country's history."Mr. Ashford," the prosecutor said, "can you tell the court what happened when you finally confronted Thomas Morgan?"Yemin looked across the courtroom to where Thomas sat in shackles, his once-immaculate appearance now reduced to a standard orange jumpsuit. The man who had terrorized so many looked small and defeated."Thomas was cornered," Yemin replied calmly. "His organization was destroyed, his assets frozen, and federal agents were closing in. In his desperation, he tried to use my sister as leverage one final time.""And how did that confrontation end?""Thomas surrendered when he realized he had no remaining options," Yemin said. "The evidence against him was overwhelming, and even his most loyal subordinates had turned agains

Everyone turned as Yemin emerged from the shadows near the room's entrance, moving with the fluid grace of someone whose abilities had fully returned.Isabella followed close behind, her posture transformed from the broken captive to the proud daughter of Elena Ashford."My mind wasn't the only thing that was free," Yemin continued, his eyes locked on Thomas. "My anger was free too. And it's been growing every day since you killed our mother."Thomas stared at Isabella in shock. "How is she... you can't be here. You're secure. You're controlled.""I was never controlled," Isabella said, her voice carrying fifteen years of suppressed rage. "I was surviving. Waiting. Learning everything about you and your operation so that when this day came, I could help destroy you completely.""No," Thomas whispered. "No, this isn't how this was supposed to go. I won. I defeated you, Alexander. I broke your spirit.""You broke nothing," Yemin replied, stepping closer. "You gave me time to plan, resou
CHAPTER 312 PART 1
The secure communication room on the top floor of Thomas Morgan's facility had become a war room filled with panic and desperation. Banks of monitors displayed feeds from various locations across the city, and every single screen told the same story: Thomas's empire was burning."Sir, the waterfront facility is gone," reported a trembling communications officer. "Complete loss. Thirty million in assets, destroyed.""What about the pharmaceutical front?" Thomas demanded, his voice tight with barely controlled fury."Overrun twenty minutes ago. The attackers knew exactly where to find the hidden laboratories."Thomas slammed his fist on the control panel, causing several monitors to flicker. "How is this possible? How do they know everything?"Vincent Caruso, his wounded shoulder bandaged but still functional, looked up from his position at a tactical display. "Because they've been planning this for months, Thomas. While you were playing with your prisoners, they were dismantling your o

"You loved that music box," Yemin continued, watching her carefully. "You would wind it up every night before bed and make the ballerina dance while you hummed along. You said the ballerina was lonely and needed someone to sing with her.""Stop it," Isabella said, but her voice was weaker now. "You're trying to plant false memories.""You had a stuffed elephant named Patches," Yemin pressed gently. "Gray felt with a pink ribbon around his neck. You carried him everywhere, even though you pretended you were too old for stuffed animals."Isabella backed away from him, her carefully controlled mask beginning to slip. "These are just... these are just good guesses. Anyone could—""You were afraid of thunderstorms," Yemin interrupted. "When the lightning flashed, you would run to my room and hide under my blankets until the storm passed. You said the thunder was angry giants fighting in the sky.""No," Isabella whispered, pressing her hands to her temples. "No, that's not... I don't rememb
CHAPTER 311 PART 1
The chaos from the tactical team's assault had provided the perfect cover for Vincent Caruso's final act of defiance.Despite his wounded shoulder, he had managed to trigger a controlled power surge that temporarily disabled the electromagnetic dampeners throughout the facility.In that brief window, Yemin had broken free from his restraints and escaped through emergency corridors that Vincent had mapped weeks earlier.Now, three levels above his former prison, Yemin moved silently through the shadows of the facility's upper sections.His enhanced abilities were slowly returning, but years of conditioning and psychological preparation had taught him that stealth and intelligence were more valuable than brute force.The secure wing where Isabella was being held was a stark contrast to his own brutal cell.The corridors were carpeted, the walls painted in soothing colors, and classical music played softly from hidden speakers.It was a gilded cage, designed to make captivity feel like l
CHAPTER 310 PART 2
The taunting was interrupted by the sound of explosions echoing through the facility. Emergency alarms began blaring, and Thomas's radio crackled with panicked voices."Sir, we're under attack!" came a frantic report. "Multiple breach points, professional assault team. They're moving toward the upper levels!"Thomas grabbed his radio. "Lock down everything! I want every security protocol activated!""Sir, they seem to know our defensive positions," the voice continued. "They're avoiding our kill zones and hitting our blind spots.""Impossible," Thomas snarled. "No one outside my inner circle knows those details."Thomas looked at Yemin with renewed suspicion, but before he could speak, Vincent Caruso burst back into the cell."Boss, we need to evacuate you now," Vincent said urgently. "This isn't a random attack – they're coming specifically for this level.""Who?" Thomas demanded. "Who's attacking us?""Unknown, but they're well-equipped and they know the layout perfectly," Vincent r
