Katherine 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."

    Maria looked between Yemin and Marcus, her mind struggling to process the situation. "You're not just a guard, are you?""No," Yemin admitted. "I'm not.""Then who—""It's time to go," Marcus interrupted gently. "The plane is waiting."As Marcus's assistants led Maria toward the car, she turned back one last time."Will I ever see you again?" she asked."Maybe someday," Yemin replied. "When it's safe."Maria nodded, clutching the envelope containing her new life. "Thank you, Yemin. For everything."As the car disappeared into the distance, Marcus turned to Yemin with a concerned expression."Are you sure about this?" Marcus asked. "She could be a liability.""She's innocent," Yemin replied firmly. "And she deserves a chance at a normal life."Three days later, Yemin returned to his modest apartment in the city, resuming his carefully constructed mundane existence. He had just finished unpacking when his phone rang."Yemin!" Faye's excited voice filled the room. "You're back! I was so

    The motorcycle roared through the countryside as Yemin and Maria put distance between themselves and Marco's villa.The early morning sun cast long shadows across the winding roads, and the cool air whipped through their hair as they rode toward the city.After two hours of driving, Yemin pulled into a rest stop far from any surveillance cameras.Maria climbed off the bike, her legs shaky from the long ride and the adrenaline still coursing through her system."Yemin," she said, her voice trembling with confusion and fear."Why are we running? What happened back there?""We couldn't stay there anymore," Yemin replied simply, removing his helmet and scanning the area for any signs of pursuit."But why?" Maria pressed, tears beginning to form in her eyes."That job was everything to me. I'm an orphan, Yemin. I have no family, no other skills. Apart from that job, I had nothing else.""Maria—""Because of you, I'm now broke and jobless!" she continued, her voice rising with panic."I don

    "Justin Castellanos?" Yemin's eyes sharpened with interest."The Supreme Leader himself," Marco said with vicious satisfaction. "And when Domenico Vitale and Matteo Rossi get involved, you'll wish you were never born."Yemin's expression remained unchanged throughout Marco's threats. When the crime boss finished his tirade, Yemin delivered a resounding slap across his face that snapped his head to the side with explosive force.The blow was so powerful that Marco's vision went white for several seconds. When his sight returned, he found himself staring at Yemin in stunned silence, his cheek burning with pain."Let me introduce myself properly," Yemin said, his voice taking on a deadly edge. "My name is Alexander Ashford. You and your organization killed my mother fifteen years ago."Marco's eyes widened in recognition and terror. The name Alexander Ashford was legendary within the Sphinx - the heir who had disappeared, the one they'd been hunting for years."No," Marco whispered, his

    Yemin moved through Marco's private wing with the silence of a predator, his footsteps making no sound on the marble floors.The sedative he'd used was a military-grade compound that could drop an elephant for twenty-four hours - his three obstacles would remain unconscious well into the next evening.Marco's bedroom was at the end of a long corridor lined with priceless artwork.Yemin pushed open the heavy oak door and stepped inside, taking in the opulent surroundings.The room was larger than most apartments, with a king-sized bed positioned beneath a crystal chandelier and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the villa's gardens.Marco Benedetti lay sleeping peacefully, completely unaware that death had entered his sanctuary.Yemin approached the bed calmly and sat down on the edge of the mattress, the slight depression in the bed causing Marco to stir slightly."Marco," Yemin said softly, gently shaking the crime boss's shoulder."Time to wake up."Marco's eyes fluttered open, his

    Once alone in a storage room, Yemin carefully uncorked the wine and added a measured amount of colorless powder from a small vial.The sedative was tasteless and odorless, but potent enough to drop a grown man within minutes.More importantly, Yemin had built up an immunity to it through years of careful exposure.He recorked the bottle and made his way to the guards' station outside Marco's wing.The three men looked up suspiciously as he approached, their hands instinctively moving toward their weapons."What do you want, ninth place?" Salvatore demanded harshly."I brought you something," Yemin said humbly, holding up the wine bottle."A peace offering.""Peace offering?" Antonio laughed mockingly."What makes you think we want peace with you?""I know you think I had something to do with Francesco's accident," Yemin said, his voice carefully submissive. "I want to prove that I'm not your enemy.""You're right about one thing," Luca sneered."We do think you're responsible for what

    Yemin sat in his quarters, methodically cleaning his gear as he contemplated his next move.The villa had been buzzing with whispered conversations since Francesco's "accident" the previous night.The official story was that the fourth-ranked guard had fallen down the cellar stairs while drunk, but the severity of his injuries suggested something far more sinister.Time is running out, Yemin thought as he checked his watch.If I wait any longer, Marco will start asking too many questions. Tonight is the night.The challenge was getting past the three remaining personal guards who maintained constant vigil outside Marco's private wing.Salvatore, Antonio, and Luca had grown even more paranoid since Francesco's hospitalization, and they never left their posts unattended.Down the hall, the three guards huddled together in Salvatore's room, their voices low but their anger palpable."This is bullshit," Salvatore hissed, pacing like a caged animal."Francesco is lying in a hospital bed wi
