2025-04-29 17:38:37Katherine paced across her luxury apartment, the clicking of her heels against marble echoing her mounting fury. She paused before a large mirror, her reflection revealing not just her flawless appearance but the cold calculation in her eyes—eyes that had once looked upon the Yemin with love, now blazing with hatred.
"I can't believe that bastard showed up at my party," she seethed, gripping her phone tightly. "Of all people, my ex-husband decides to ruin the most important night of the year."
James lounged on her designer sofa, scrolling through his phone with casual indifference. "Babe, why are you so worked up? We've got Peter hosting an even better party now."
If only James knew who the Yemin really was to me, Katherine thought, careful to keep her past marriage secret. The humiliation of him seeing me with someone like James...
"It's the principle," she snapped, turning to face James. "Those two nobodies waltzed in and disrupted everything. They need to learn their place."
James set his phone down, a smug smile spreading across his face. "Listen, if I can get someone like Peter to back off with just a phone call to my father, dealing with those losers will be child's play."
"You really think so?" Katherine asked, her voice deliberately vulnerable, playing to his ego.
"Absolutely," James declared, standing up and wrapping his arms around her waist. "Think about it. Peter, one of the most feared men in the city, practically apologized to us because of my connections. What chance do a nobody like the Yemin and that plain little girlfriend of his stand?"
Katherine smiled against his chest, concealing her contempt. This fool actually believes he scared Peter off. If he knew what I know about the Yemin...
"You're right," she cooed, pulling back to look up at him adoringly. "I just want tomorrow to be perfect."
"And it will be," James assured her. "I've already texted Tommy. He's arranging a little welcome committee for our unwanted guests before they even reach the hotel."
Across town, the Yemin stood by Faye's window, watching the city lights flicker in the distance. His posture was relaxed, but his eyes remained vigilant, scanning the street below with practiced precision.
"You shouldn't go tomorrow," he said quietly, turning to face Faye who was nervously trying on her simple black dress. "Katherine is more dangerous than you realize."
Faye paused, meeting his gaze in the mirror. "What do you mean? Do you know her from somewhere?"
The Yemin's expression remained impassive. "Let's just say we have history."
"Even so," Faye replied, smoothing down the fabric of her dress, "I'm more worried about Peter. You saw how his men reacted to him. If we don't show up to his party..."
She doesn't understand the real danger, the Yemin thought. Katherine's vengeance is what we should fear, not Peter's.
"Peter won't bother us," he assured her. "Trust me on that."
Faye sighed, sitting on the edge of her bed. "I have to go. I can't risk making enemies with someone like him. Besides, part of me wants to see Katherine's face when we walk in looking like we belong."
The Yemin's phone buzzed with a message. He glanced at it, his expression hardening slightly.
"What is it?" Faye asked, noticing the change.
"Just confirming my suspicions," he replied cryptically. "If you insist on going, then we go together. No exceptions."
The following evening, Faye emerged from her apartment building where the Yemin waited beside a sleek black car. She wore her simple black dress with a borrowed necklace that caught the streetlights with surprising elegance.
"You look beautiful," the Yemin said simply, opening the door for her.
I wish I could talk her out of this, he thought, scanning the street with practiced eyes. Katherine hasn't changed at all.
As they drove through the city toward the Crystal Palace Hotel, the Yemin took an unexpected turn down a narrow side street.
"This isn't the way to the hotel," Faye observed, glancing around at the unfamiliar surroundings.
"No," the Yemin agreed, his hands tightening slightly on the steering wheel. "But it's the way we need to go."

The sleek black Chevrolet glided through the evening traffic, its polished exterior reflecting the city lights. Inside, Yemin sat calmly behind the wheel while Faye fidgeted nervously with the hem of her dress."I still think this is a mistake," Yemin said, his voice measured. "Katherine's invitation isn't genuine. She wants revenge."Faye sighed, looking out at the passing buildings. "I know, but what choice do we have? Peter's hosting it personally. After what happened with Tommy, we can't risk offending him again."Yemin's lips tightened slightly. He knew more than he was letting on, but explaining would accomplish nothing at this point. Some lessons had to be learned through experience."That's a nice car for someone who was supposedly broke just weeks ago," Faye remarked, changing the subject. "I remember giving you rides because you didn't have transportation."A faint smile crossed Yemin's face. "People see what they expect to see."The flash of blue and red lights cut through

The flashing red and blue lights painted the street like a bad omen as Yemin quietly stepped out of the Chevrolet, his hands raised lazily in the air. The officers swarmed around him, barking orders as if he were some common criminal."Hands where I can see 'em, you piece of trash!" one of the officers, a round-bellied sergeant, sneered, jabbing his baton toward Yemin’s chest.Faye, on the other hand, wasn't having any of it. She slapped the officer's hand away as he reached for her."Get your filthy hands off me! Do you even know who you're messing with?!" she shrieked, her voice slicing through the night air like a whip."Yeah, yeah," another cop said, rolling his eyes. "Another broke pretty girl thinking she's a princess.""You idiots must be blind!" Faye snapped. "I'm about to sign a partnership with Group A! Do you want to lose your badges?!"The moment the words ‘Group A’ fell from her lips, the atmosphere shifted. The cops glanced at each other, hesitating. Even the smug sergea

The news traveled fast—faster than wildfire in a dry forest.Inside the Shaw mansion, Katherine shrieked with laughter as she tossed a glass of champagne into the air, uncaring when it splashed onto the marble floor.“He’s finally where he belongs!” Katherine squealed, spinning around to hug her mother tightly. "Locked up like the filthy street rat he is!"Mrs. Shaw clapped her hands together, her diamond bracelets jangling with excitement. "Oh, darling, you’ve outdone yourself this time! That pathetic househusband finally learned his place."James lounged lazily on the sofa, a satisfied smirk playing across his lips as he scrolled through his phone."Didn't I tell you?" James said, puffing out his chest. "Give me one night, and I’ll turn him into a broken dog.""You’re amazing, James!" Katherine gushed, her eyes practically glittering. "You actually did it."James winked at her, then made a casual call, tapping his phone screen with a smugness that reeked of victory."Yeah. He's in h

Why didn’t he stop them?A part of her felt sick for leaving him there. Another part whispered—he told me not to worry. But still, guilt gnawed at her.What kind of woman abandons someone who just got arrested trying to protect her?She sighed and hailed a cab, forcing herself toward the party.

Katherine Shaw was glowing.

"Yemin's in jail. Faye's been publicly embarrassed. And I am the star tonight, as I should be."James chuckled, though his smile twitched.

Yemin Ravollor stood motionless in his living room, the evening sun casting long shadows across the imported marble floors of their penthouse. Spread across the mahogany coffee table, evidence of his wife's betrayal lay in stark detail – surveillance photos, hotel receipts, and a record of calls that painted an undeniable picture of infidelity.Katherine strode in, still wearing her tailored Chanel suit from the office, her Louboutin heels clicking against the floor with practiced authority. "Well, well," she drawled, regarding him with disgust,manicured fingers trailing across the photos. "So you've been crawling around gathering intel like a little roach, have you? How fitting for someone of your... position."The photos showed her entering the Grand Plaza Hotel with James Franx, her arm wrapped intimately around his waist, her smile more genuine than any she'd given Yemin in months. "I deserve an explanation, Katherine."A sharp pain twisted in Yemin’s chest, but he forced his

The leather seat cradled Yemin as the Rolls-Royce glided through the evening traffic. His phone buzzed – Samuel Lee, CEO of the Ravol Company Group."Chairman Ravol," Marcus's voice carried a note of concern. "I've just been informed about the... situation with Mrs. Ravollor. Should I cancel the collaboration with her company?""No need. Just let it proceed as planned." As the call ended, he leaned back, closing his eyes. The city lights outside blurred, and suddenly he was thirteen years younger, lying in a filthy alley, the metallic taste of blood in his mouth.He could still feel the boot prints on his ribs from where the thugs had kicked him. The Ravol family’s golden boy, reduced to street garbage after the power struggle that had torn his family apart. He'd left with nothing but his mother's matching rings – ancient family heirlooms that even in his darkest moments, he couldn't bear to sell.The pain had been excruciating that night.

Outside the private room, the Yemin and Faye stood in the dimly lit corridor as the sounds of Katherine's excited chatter faded behind them.The Yemin's face remained impassive, his dark eyes reflecting the muted overhead lights as he regarded Faye with quiet contemplation."Aren't you going to tell them the truth about Peter?" Faye asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "They're completely delusional about what just happened."The Yemin shook his head slightly, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Some truths are better revealed through experience," he replied, his voice calm and measured. "Tomorrow will be... educational for them."They'll learn soon enough what kind of man Peter really is, he thought, picturing Katherine's inevitable disappointment when reality collided with her fantasy.As they walked toward the exit, Katherine and her entourage emerged from the private room. Katherine's eyes narrowed when she spotted them, her previous fear replaced by con

The tension in the room remained palpable, with everyone still processing Peter's dramatic change in attitude. Peter stood nervously before the Yemin, his earlier aggression completely dissolved into deference. He cleared his throat and glanced around the room, his eyes landing on the "Happy Birthday" banner hanging limply from one wall."Wait, is this a birthday celebration?" Peter asked, his voice unnaturally cordial. His gaze settled on Katherine, who was still clutching James's arm.Katherine nodded hesitantly. "Yes... it's mine," she stammered, utterly confused by the shift in dynamics.Peter's face brightened with an artificial smile. Perfect excuse to get out of here with some dignity intact, he thought, mentally calculating how to extract himself from this humiliating situation without losing more face."Well, this is unfortunate timing," Peter said, spreading his hands apologetically. "To make amends for my subordinate's disgraceful behavior, I insist on hosting a proper cele
