Chapter 106
Katherine stared down at James's motionless form, her mind struggling to process what she had just witnessed.The man she had divorced for being weak and pathetic had just demonstrated a level of skill and power that seemed impossible.Her heart raced with a confusing mixture of terror and something that felt disturbingly like arousal.How is this possible? she thought, her eyes fixed on Yemin's calm expression. Where did this dangerous edge come from? And why is it so... intoxicating?Mrs. Shaw, however, felt no such conflicted emotions. Her voice rose to a shriek that echoed throughout the ballroom. "You savage! You absolute barbarian! How dare you attack an innocent man at my daughter's party!""Mother, please—" Katherine began, but Mrs. Shaw was just getting started."This is exactly what I expected from gutter trash like you! You've always been nothing but a violent thug hiding behind a pathetic facade!""Interesting theory," Yemin replied with unsettling calm, not taking his eye
Chapter 105
Katherine stared at Yemin with a mixture of shock and confusion. In all their years of marriage and the bitter aftermath of their divorce, she had never seen this side of him. His grip on her arm was firm but controlled, and there was something dangerous in his eyes that made her suddenly aware of how little she actually knew about her ex-husband."Yemin, what's gotten into you? You're acting like a complete lunatic!""I need that card, Katherine. This isn't a game.""You're hurting my arm! And why are you so obsessed with some random businessman's card? What's so special about that stupid pattern?""What does the pattern mean to you? Why did you think to connect it to the ring?"Katherine tried to pull away from his grip, but found herself unable to break free. "I don't know what it means! That's why I'm asking you! You're the one acting like it's a matter of life and death!""Because it might be exactly that. Where is the card?""You're scaring me, Yemin. This isn't like you at all.
CHAPTER 104 PART 2
Two weeks later, Yemin found an elegant invitation in his mail delivery. The heavy cardstock and gold embossing proclaimed Katherine and James's housewarming celebration at their new estate, complete with dress code requirements and valet parking.Pathetic, Yemin thought, tossing the invitation into the trash without a second glance.When Katherine received no RSVP after several days, she escalated her approach. Yemin's email inbox chimed with a message that made his blood run cold."Dearest Yemin," the email began, "I noticed you haven't responded to my party invitation. How terribly rude of you! But I suppose that's to be expected from someone of your... diminished circumstances. However, I feel I should mention that if you don't attend my little gathering, I might be compelled to contact that nice gentleman who gave me his business card. You remember - the one with the interesting pattern that looked so similar to that ring you gave to poor Faye? I'm sure he'd be fascinated to know
CHAPTER 104 PART 1
Over the following weeks, Faye launched what could only be described as a relentless romantic campaign. Her calls came at all hours, her text messages grew increasingly creative, and she seemed to appear wherever Yemin happened to be conducting his business."Yemin, I brought you coffee," Faye announced brightly as she intercepted him outside a downtown office building. "Your favorite - black, no sugar.""Faye, you need to stop this.""Stop what? Being a good friend? I also picked up some of those pastries from the French bakery you mentioned liking.""I never mentioned liking any pastries.""Well, I thought you might like them. Everyone likes French pastries."Yemin continued walking, but Faye fell into step beside him with determined cheerfulness. "I was thinking we could catch that new action movie tonight. You know, just as friends?""No.""How about dinner then? There's this amazing Italian place that just opened—""Faye, the answer will always be no. Please stop asking.""But wh
Chapter 103
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
Chapter 102
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.
