The youngest thug's grimy hand reached toward Alessia's silk blouse, his eyes gleaming with malicious intent. But before he could make contact, something unexpected happened.

Alessia Wrenford stood up with fluid grace, her initial terror replaced by an icy composure that seemed to radiate authority. The thug's hand froze mid-air as she fixed him with a withering stare that could have cut glass.

"Do you have any idea who you're touching?" Alessia's voice carried the unmistakable tone of someone accustomed to command, her earlier fear completely evaporated.

The thug blinked, momentarily taken aback by her sudden transformation. "I-I don't care who you think you are, princess."

"Princess?" Alessia laughed, but there was no humor in the sound. "You pathetic fool. I am Alessia Wrenford, daughter of Richard Wrenford, CEO of Wrenford Pharmaceuticals. Do you understand what that means?"

The color drained from the young thug's face as the name registered. Wrenford Pharmaceuticals was one of th

    Yemin spent the next three hours methodically checking for surveillance, using every counter-intelligence technique he had learned during his years in hiding. He doubled back through alleyways, used reflective surfaces to check for tails, and made sudden directional changes to flush out any potential watchers.Agent Collins is good, but not good enough to track me when I'm actively evading surveillance, Yemin thought as he completed his final security sweep from the roof of a downtown parking garage.Satisfied that he was truly alone, Yemin pulled out a secure satellite phone and dialed a number he hadn't used in months."Good evening, sir," came the immediate response. "We've been waiting for your call.""I need a pickup. Corner of Fifth and Madison, discreet approach.""Of course, sir. The car will be there in seven minutes."Within the promised timeframe, a sleek black limousine with tinted windows glided silently to the curb. The rear door opened automatically, revealing luxurious

    Satisfied that he had successfully turned Thomas into his inside source within Sphinx, Yemin made his way back to the city as dawn broke over the horizon.The modest three-star hotel where he had been staying under his false identity seemed like a sanctuary compared to the dangerous games he had been playing at the Ashford estate.Now I wait, Yemin thought as he approached the hotel's entrance. Let Thomas gather intelligence while I plan my next moves from the shadows.As he walked through the lobby, the front desk clerk looked up with obvious relief. "Mr. Morgan! Thank goodness you're back. There's been someone asking about you.""What kind of someone?""A very well-dressed gentleman. He seemed quite... insistent about knowing when you would return. He left his contact information and asked me to call him the moment I saw you."That can't be good, Yemin realized, but before he could ask for more details, his phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number: "Welcome home, loser. Ch

    Yemin stared down at Sarah's lifeless body, his rage threatening to consume him completely. But even in his fury, his tactical mind remained sharp. He knew that confronting Agent Collins directly would expose his true identity, and that could destroy everything he had worked to build.Collins saw me as the manservant earlier tonight, Yemin realized. If he recognizes me now, it will blow my entire cover.His eyes swept across Sarah's apartment until they landed on a colorful silk scarf draped over her desk chair. Without hesitation, he grabbed the fabric and quickly wrapped it around the lower half of his face, creating an improvised mask that would conceal his identity.This will have to do, he thought grimly as he checked his reflection in Sarah's bedroom mirror. Collins will know someone is after him, but he won't know it's the same 'servant' from the company.Yemin burst back into the stairwell and began his descent, his enhanced hearing picking up the sound of rapid footsteps seve

    Sarah opened her apartment door with trembling hands, relief flooding her face when she saw the familiar figure of the man who had saved her earlier that evening."Thank God it's you," she gasped, stepping aside to let Yemin enter. "I was terrified it might be someone else.""Going somewhere?" Yemin asked, noticing the packed duffel bag and the scattered documents on her coffee table."Yes, I'm getting out of the city tonight. I'm driving to my grandmother's cabin upstate - it's remote, off the grid, perfect for laying low until I can figure out what to do with all this evidence.""Running away already? I thought you were an investigative journalist. Don't you want to expose what you've discovered?"Sarah ran her hands through her hair anxiously. "I thought I did, but this is so much bigger than anything I've ever dealt with. These people... they kill anyone who threatens them. I'm in way over my head here.""Calm down," Yemin said firmly, settling into a chair across from her. "Take

    Yemin stood outside the conference room, his ear pressed against the heavy oak door as he strained to catch fragments of the conversation taking place inside. The voices were muffled, but he could make out the serious tone and occasional mention of terms like "consolidation" and "final phase."Are they trying to recruit Thomas into Sphinx? Yemin wondered, his mind racing with possibilities. Or are they planning to eliminate him now that he's proven he's not the real Alexander?The conversation inside grew more animated, with multiple voices speaking over each other in urgent tones. Yemin was about to attempt finding another way to eavesdrop when he heard familiar footsteps approaching from down the hallway.His blood ran cold as he recognized the measured pace of someone he had hoped never to see again - the tall man in the baseball cap who had been surveillance him for weeks. The watcher appeared around the corner, moving with the predatory grace of a trained operative.Stay calm, Ye

    As Yemin made his way back through the building's corridors toward the conference room, he encountered three more security teams who had been dispatched to hunt down the mysterious intruder. Each encounter followed the same pattern - swift, silent, and devastating.The first pair of guards rounded a corner just as Yemin reached the stairwell. "Hey, you! Have you seen anyone suspicious in this area?""No, sir," Yemin replied meekly, keeping his head down. "Just finishing my cleaning duties.""Wait a minute," one guard said, studying Yemin's build more carefully. "You're about the right height and weight. Turn around slowly."Instead of complying, Yemin moved with lightning speed, striking pressure points that dropped both men unconscious before they could draw their weapons or call for backup.The second team was patrolling the hallway outside the executive offices when Yemin approached carrying his cleaning supplies. "Stop right there! We need to check your identification!""Of course
