Evelyn's POV

I didn’t expect him to come looking for me.

Not after everything that happened earlier, not after the way he looked at me like I was already guilty before I even spoke.

But Damien always had that habit coming back when he couldn’t fully silence his own doubts.

He found me in a quiet corridor, away from the noise of the building. The air felt colder here, or maybe it was just the absence of people that made everything feel sharper. I didn’t turn immediately when

    The tattoo refused to leave my mind. Ever since Marcus showed me the surveillance footage, the faded black symbol had continued to haunt every quiet moment.I had seen it before. I just couldn't remember where.I sat alone in my office after everyone else had gone home. The laboratory had grown unusually quiet, leaving only the soft hum of the ventilation system filling the silence.The photograph from the surveillance camera remained open on my computer screen. I stared at the man's wrist again, hoping another detail would trigger my memory.Instead, I closed my eyes. Fragments of my childhood slowly surfaced.They were incomplete and scattered, like pieces of a broken photograph. I remembered walking through a brightly lit laboratory while holding my father's hand.I couldn't have been more than six years old, and everything around me had seemed enormous. Researchers hurried past us carrying files and medical equipment.Everyone looked frightened. My fa

    Sebastian's POV The missing page from Richard Hart's journal changed everything. Victor wasn't just searching for Project Genesis anymore.He was searching for the only thing capable of destroying it. I stood in the conference room as Marcus projected the latest intelligence reports onto the screen.Every member of my special task force had been called in for an emergency meeting. No one spoke while I looked around the room."No one outside this room knows the final page is missing," I said. "And that's exactly how it's going to stay."Marcus nodded. "You already have a plan.""I do." The room fell silent as I walked toward the digital map.A red marker appeared over one of our older research facilities on the outskirts of the city. I pointed toward the location."We're going to give Victor exactly what he wants." Marcus frowned slightly."A fake location." "Yes."I looked around the room. "We'll spread information that Richard Hart's complet

    Evelyn's POVThe hospital was really quiet when I got there that morning. My father was still unconscious. I was left with a lot of unanswered questions and the old journal I had taken home the night before.I took the leather notebook to my office at the research center. The cover had faded from years of use. Every page had a piece of my fathers past that he had kept hidden from me.A minute later Sebastian came in with two cups of coffee. He put one down beside me. Then I noticed the journal open on my desk."You got here early," he said quietly. I nodded without looking up at him."I could not stop thinking about this journal. If my father risked everything to keep it safe there must be something in it."Sebastian pulled out a chair. Sat down across from me. "Then let us find out what it is."I turned another page carefully. Most of the writing was about research notes that I had seen before. My fathers handwriting go

    Sebastian's POV I was reviewing the latest security reports when Marcus entered my office without knocking. One look at his face told me something important had happened."Damien just called," he said as he placed a folder on my desk. "He found one of the surviving researchers from Project Genesis."I immediately looked up. "Is the man alive?"Marcus hesitated before answering. "Barely. Their hideout was attacked before Damien could finish questioning him."I opened the folder and quickly skimmed through the photographs taken by Damien. The elderly researcher looked exhausted, but there was something else that caught my attention.A handwritten note was attached to the last page. Victor isn't the only one behind Genesis.I read the sentence twice before closing the file. "So we've been chasing only half the enemy."Marcus nodded slowly. "It appears so."A few minutes later, Damien arrived at headquarters under heavy security. His clothes were sta

    Damien's POV The location had been in my pad since yesterday morning. It came from a past friend who once did work in the drug field, and he said there was just one living researcher from Project Genesis that was still here.I parked a few roads away from a calm neighborhood. The tiny house at the end of the road looked normal, but I knew looks did not matter anymore.I went to the gate and tapped two times. A few moments went by before an old man opened the door very slowly."Mr. Daniel Reeves?" I asked.He studied my face cautiously. "Who are you?""My name is Damien Sinclair." I kept my voice calm."I need to ask you about Project Genesis."The hue quickly went away from his face. His shaking hand gripped the side of the door."You should not have come here." His voice was kind of quiet."I've taken weeks trying to find you." I looked him in the eye."Please. Just give me a few minutes.

    Evelyn's POVI could not sleep anymore. Every time I closed my eyes I saw the photograph that came in the package.The words written in red would not go away. Phase Three Begins was always on my mind reminding me that Victor Hale was one step ahead of me.In the morning I went to the laboratory before the sun came up. The security people said hello to me. I knew they were watching my every move.Sebastian had added security people overnight. Now I had to show my identity just to get into my own laboratory.Marcus was waiting for me at the door with a tablet. He looked very serious."Good morning, Dr. Hart." "Good Morning." He looked around. Then spoke quietly. "I want to show you something before you start work."I was a little confused. "What is it?""It is the video from the city cameras." I followed him to the security office.There were screens on the wall showing videos from diffe

    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.

    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.
