Sebastian’s POV

“Are you really going to continue?” I looked at Evelyn, who was standing beside the window with her arms crossed.

Morning sunlight touched her face, but the expression in her eyes told me that she was still thinking about the file we had discovered the previous night. “Yes,” I said.

Her eyebrows lifted slightly. “Even after what we found?” I closed the laptop and stood from the chair.

“Especially after what we found.” The words from the hidden document were sti

    Sebastian's POV “I don't know how to stop being afraid of that.” I admitted.“You don't have to stop being afraid.” I looked at her.Her words stayed with me. “You just have to trust me enough to let me stand beside you.”I reached for her hand, but she didn't immediately take it. “I don't want to be protected from my own life,” she said.“I know.” I nodded.“I want to choose what happens to me.” Her fingers slowly moved toward mine.“And if Project Eve is connected to me, then I need to know the truth.” I nodded slowly.“You're right.” I finally said it.She looked surprised. “I am?”“Yes.” I took a breath.“I was trying to protect my wife, but I forgot something.” She waited for me to continue.“What?” she asked.“You're not someone I need to protect from every decision.” I gently took her hand.“You're someone I need to stand beside.” Her fingers slowly tightened around mine.“I don't want you standing behind me,”

    Sebastian’s POV“Are you really going to continue?” I looked at Evelyn, who was standing beside the window with her arms crossed.Morning sunlight touched her face, but the expression in her eyes told me that she was still thinking about the file we had discovered the previous night. “Yes,” I said.Her eyebrows lifted slightly. “Even after what we found?” I closed the laptop and stood from the chair.“Especially after what we found.” The words from the hidden document were still inside my head.Eve was never the subject. She was the beginning. I didn't know what they meant yet, but I knew one thing for certain.Someone had deliberately hidden the truth from Evelyn. Someone had created a project using her name, and I wasn't going to sit quietly while we remained ignorant of its purpose.But there was another thought I couldn't ignore. Every time we followed another clue, Evelyn was pulled deeper into the world we had just escaped.Genesis had already t

    Evelyn's POV I looked back at the screen. “I thought I was finally done being afraid of my past.”“You are.” I frowned.“How can you say that when we're sitting here looking at another secret?” Sebastian turned his chair toward me.“Because your past can explain where you came from, Evelyn.” He paused before continuing.“But it doesn't get to decide where you're going.” I remained silent.He continued holding my hand. “You're not a project.”My eyes began to sting. “You're not an experiment.”His voice became softer. “And you're not someone's unfinished plan.”I looked at him, and for the first time since opening the file, the pressure inside my chest eased. “Then what am I?”Sebastian smiled. “My wife.”A small laugh escaped me despite everything. “That was an easy answer.”“It's the most important one.” I shook my head, but I couldn't stop smiling.We returned our attention to the documents. I knew Sebastian was watching me care

    Evelyn’s POV“Are you sure you want to open it?” I looked at Sebastian across the desk and nodded slowly.The computer screen between us displayed the encrypted file Daniel had received after our wedding, and the words PROJECT EVE remained at the center of the screen like a warning. “I need to know what it contains,” I said.Sebastian studied my face for several seconds before reaching for the mouse. He didn't look afraid for himself, but I could see the tension in his shoulders.“If anything feels wrong, we stop.” I nodded again.“Together.” He gave me a faint smile.“Together.” The word felt heavier than it should have.Daniel had managed to break through the first layer of encryption, but the remaining security had required several hours of work. Now the file was finally open, and hundreds of documents appeared on the screen.There were medical reports, laboratory records, photographs, financial transactions, and encrypted research notes. Some of t

    Sebastian's POV Evelyn faced me. There was something different in her face. “I used to think that home was a place where one can hide.” My heart tightened."But now?" I asked. “Now I think it is a place where one can be who he/she is and not be afraid to do so.” She smiled. I didn't know how to respond. Evelyn had been thinking about her true identity for many years now.Genesis had made an attempt to use her identity against her. She had never chosen anything herself in her past.Now she is here. Free."I don't think I'm afraid of my past anymore," said Evelyn.I gazed at her. "Are you sure?"Evelyn slowly nodded her head. "I can't change the past."Her tone was steady. "I can't change the decisions of my father.""I can't change Genesis, Victor, and everything else that they have taken away from me." I listened carefully."But they will no longer be able to choose who I am." For some reason, I felt proud of that."You will ma

    Sebastian’s POV"Are you awake?" Evelyn’s voice dragged me out of my dreams slowly but surely.I opened my eyes and saw her lying beside me, watching me with such an expression that I couldn't help but smile."Unfortunately," I mumbled.She raised an eyebrow. "Unfortunately?""I was having a peaceful dream." I turned towards her and drew her closer under the covers.Evelyn giggled when she tried to slip away from me. "And waking up next to your wife is not peaceful?""I never said that." I smiled when she put her head on my chest."You implied it." Her smile broadened."I absolutely did not." We fell silent for several seconds.I realized how much I had learned to enjoy silence since the days when silence meant imminent danger.Silence used to mean the presence of an attacker hiding somewhere in the darkness, ready to make his move. And now silence meant something else.It meant sunlight coming through the curtains in the morning. It m

    Evelyn’s POV“Dad?”My voice trembled badly as I took his phone from the bed.The hue had fully gone from my dad's face. His breath got shaky as his shaking eyes stayed on the pics shown on the screen.“Dad, look at me,” Worry shot up in my chest, “Pl

    Evelyn's POV I stared at Sebastian for a moment without moving. The rain was coming down hard on the empty road at night. The black Rolls-Royce parked beside me looked weird. Sebastian Sinclair sat inside calm as always. His black suit looked perfect. He was sitting up straight. His sharp eyes w
