MasukEvelyn's POV
The image in front of me made every muscle in my body freeze. I could not move, could not talk, and could not make myself believe in what was going on."Who's this, Evelyn?" Sebastian asked, his face filled with worry."My father knows him," I answered through trembling lips.As soon as Damien approached the screen, he gasped. "This is impossible."The man in the video recording turned towards the camera, and I saw Alexander Hart – my father's co-worker who evSebastian’s POVAfter all that took place with Genesis, I found out there was one thing I wished for more than any other. I wanted Evelyn to have a life where she didn't wake up asking who would come after her; where she could sleep without worry; and where tomorrow didn’t always seem like another fight waiting to occur.That was the reason, three days after we got back to a safe house, I began searching for a home. I didn’t tell Evelyn right away because I wanted to give her a surprise but my secret lasted not more than twenty-four hours.“What are you seeing?” Evelyn asked one day as she came into the living room. She stood behind me and bent over my shoulder, gazing at the photos of homes spread out on my laptop.I shut the screen fast but it was too late. Evelyn lifted a brow and folded her arms while looking at me with a funny look. “Nothing.”"Sebastian, you just shut your laptop like someone saw you watching something wro
Evelyn’s POVAfter the collapse of the Genesis facilities, I remembered only one thing – the grip of Sebastian's hand. Even amid crumbling walls, screeching alarms and choking dust, he did not release me from his clutches.Upon returning to the safe house, while my body felt exhausted, my mind remained restless. Every time I tried to close my eyes, the laboratory images appeared in my memory together with my father's files, Victor, Alexander Hart, and finally the last piece of information regarding Project Eve.Sebastian noticed my silence but asked no questions. He gave me a glass of water and then sat next to me with a calm look while observing my gaze resting on the table."You don't have to talk about all this tonight," he spoke softly. "You've had a tough day.""I just don't know how to think about nothing else anymore," I confessed. "I feel like as soon as I close my eyes, I end up there again."Sebastian took my hand in his and pressed it lightly.

Sebastian asked, his face filled with worry."My father knows him," I answered through trembling lips.As soon as Damien approached the screen, he gasped. "This is impossible."The man in the video recording turned towards the camera, and I saw Alexander Hart – my father's co-worker who everyone thought had died in the lab fire fifteen years ago.The man, whose name no one mentioned ever again since then. The man whose name had been erased from every Genesis record. The man whom my father always called the one who risked his life in order to end the project."Hart died," I whispered. "My father said he died."Daniel shook his head. "He didn't."The truth began to sink into my mind. Alexander Hart had survived the fire, he just stopped appearing anywhere and starte
Sebastian's POVThe sentence in her father's journal changed everything.[If you are reading this, Evelyn, the final subject has already awakened.]I could not understand anything, staring at the page for several seconds. Evelyn stood next to me, her face turning pale while rereading the sentence. It was as though she expected that the meaning of the words would change."The final subject," she whispered. "Her father knew he would awaken."I nodded. "If he wrote this before his death, he must have known the location of the person."Evelyn looked at the rest of the pages."Then we need to find the location."In the following hour, we analyzed every symbol, number, and reference written in her father's journal. At first, they seemed to be meaningless, but Sebastian and Damien managed to realize that several numbers referred to old laboratory coordinates.There was only one location mentioned.Remote research facility that was officially deserted
Evelyn's POV Victor's last words continued echoing in my head even after the message was over. He created you for it. I was unable to move for several seconds and could hardly hear Sebastian calling my name. It was as if the whole world around me ceased to exist while staring at the empty screen, trying to understand what Victor just said. My father created me for Project Genesis. At least, this is what Victor wanted me to believe. Nevertheless, I still did not want to accept his claims. "Maybe he was never protecting me," I said in a low voice. "Maybe all of his actions were part of the experiment." However, Sebastian shook his head right away. "Do not make any conclusions based on Victor's words." "And if he told the truth?" "Then we will find evidence." Looking into his eyes, I needed to know something definite. "How?" Sebastian pointed towards the files lying around the room. "You
Evelyn's POVI was unable to move from the spot. Security cameras had stopped working, but her image kept playing in my head over and over again.It seemed so familiar that when I tried to focus, I felt that I'm looking at myself in a mirror. The more I considered her, the more frightened I got."Sebastian, Who is she?" I asked quietly."He didn't say anything and was concentrating on trying to restore connection to the security cameras and figure out who the woman was."I don't know yet." He eventually answered. "But we are going to find out who she is."Shaking my head, I said:"No. I have an idea of who she might be."Turning towards me, Sebastian immediately became worried:"Why are you saying that? ""My father."The words sounded heavy as they left my mouth. When that woman looked almost exactly like me, there was only one possible explanation.My father had used me. Maybe my childhood wasn't as ordinary as I thought. Maybe all the medical
Evelyn’s POV I do not remember how I got home that night. The only things I remembered were the rain, Damien’s voice calling my name from behind, and the numbness spreading through my chest during the entire drive. The moment I arrived at the Sinclair mansion, I locked myself inside my room. A r
