All Chapters of The Wife He Threw Away: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Sebastian's POV Sleep never came that night. Every passing hour only strengthened my determination to find Evelyn.The city was still dark when I arrived at the temporary command center. Every available member of my security division had already gathered.Large monitors covered one wall of the room. They displayed traffic cameras, surveillance footage, and live location reports.No one spoke unless it was necessary. Everyone understood how serious the situation had become.I stood before the screens. My eyes moved from one image to another."Status."One of my investigators stepped forward. "We've collected footage from more than two hundred cameras."I nodded once. "Show me everything."The recordings began playing one after another. Every route leading away from Evelyn's neighborhood appeared on the monitors.The black van entered the first intersection at 8:47 p.m. It disappeared several minutes later.Another camera found it again. Th

Sebastian's POV Morning arrived without bringing any answers. The command center remained as busy as it had been throughout the night. Every screen displayed new reports. Every investigator continued following a different lead. I stood before the largest monitor. My attention never left the evidence collected over the past twelve hours. "Start from the beginning." The room immediately fell silent. Every investigator turned toward the central table. "I want every person who had a motive to target Evelyn." One investigator nodded. He projected a list onto the screen. "It includes business competitors, former clients, dismissed employees, and companies affected by Dr. Evelyn's recent investigations." I studied every name carefully. None of them could be ignored. "Separate them by financial motive." "Yes, Mr. Cross."

Sebastian's POVThe moment I saw the gun pointed at Evelyn, everything else just faded away. The only thing that mattered to me was getting her out of there alive."Drop the weapon." one of my security guys shouted. Nobody backed down.The kidnapper just laughed, his finger resting on the trigger."Back!" I ignored him. I kept my eyes fixed on Evelyn.She was pale. Could barely stand. The ropes had left marks on her wrists."Evelyn." She looked at me. She did not say a word. Now she was calmer than anyone else."I will get you out." The kidnapper sneered. "You think you have a choice?" I raised one hand signaling my team to hold their positions. Every second counted.The guy with the gun was focused entirely on me. That was what I wanted.Out of the corner of my eye I noticed two security guys quietly moving around the warehouse. They stayed hidden behind cont

Evelyn's POVThe phone rang before the sun was up. I had just fallen asleep when the sound woke me up.I reached for my phone that was next to my bed. The caller ID said it was Sebastian."Evelyn."His voice was calm. I could tell something was wrong."The laboratory servers were attacked at night."I sat up in bed even though my body was still sore. My mind was wide awake now."Were they successful?""No."He stopped talking for a second."Our cybersecurity team stopped the attack. Someone tried to get into my research files using my login."I frowned."That's impossible.""I thought of something.""We need to check everything.""I'll be there."The call ended. Then an hour later I was at the laboratory with Sebastian.There were a lot more security guards than usual. They were standing at every door.Every employee had to

Sebastian's POV The investigation had reached a point where every new answer created two more questions. Every lead seemed connected to another hidden layer.I stood inside the command center, studying the evidence collected over the past several days. Maps, financial records, and surveillance photos covered the large screen before me."Give me the latest report." One of my investigators stepped forward and placed a new folder on the table."We traced another payment linked to the kidnapping." I opened the file.The transfer had passed through three shell companies before disappearing into another offshore account. "They're still hiding their tracks.""They are." The investigator nodded."But they're becoming less careful." Another analyst projected several names onto the screen.One immediately caught my attention. Victor Hale.I had seen that name before. Not in connection with Evelyn, but with Damien."Run a complete background check." "It
