Evelyns POV

“Evelyn.’’

I looked down from the hallway window. Saw Damien standing outside the building.

Rain was falling hard around him. His clothes were all wet. He did not seem to care.

For a moment I just stood there. Stared at him.

Three years ago if I saw him waiting for me like that my heart would have been racing.

Now I just feel tired.

My phone rang a minute later. It was Damien calling me. I almost did not answer it.

    Sebastian's POV The laboratory was different the morning Evelyn came back to work. Everything looked the same. It did not feel the same.I got to the laboratory an hour before everyone else. I checked every door every hallway and every security camera myself before I let the research team start their day.After what happened to Evelyn I could not just trust the security reports. I had to see everything for myself.When Evelyn finally walked into the laboratory everything stopped for a moment. Some of the researchers said hello to her. Others just smiled because they were relieved to see her.Evelyn was her calm self but I could see that she was still a little scared. She would hesitate for a second whenever a door closed behind her.She was still thinking about what happened in that warehouse.No one was mad at her about it.I walked up to her while she was looking at the day's schedule. She looked a little bet

    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

    Damien's POVThe news reached me before the sun came up. I had barely slept when my phone started ringing over and again.At first I ignored it. I thought it was another reporter trying to ask about Evelyn.When I finally answered, the voice on the end belonged to one of my investigators. His tone was really tense."Mr. Sinclair, we know what happened at the warehouse."I closed my eyes for a second. My hand got tight around the phone."What happened?""There was a shootout. Dr. Evelyn was almost killed."For a second I could not say anything. The words just kept repeating in my mind.Almost killed. Those two words would not leave me alone.I sat down in the chair behind my desk. Suddenly the office felt really quiet.Every memory from the past few months came back to me all at once.The accusations. The arguments.The hospital. The stalking.The threats. The

    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 POVI walked into the interrogation room. It was completely silent. There was a table between me and the kidnapper who had been caught.His hands were tied to a metal chair with cuffs. He had bruises on one side of his face from the fight at the warehouse.The detective was standing by the door. Two officers were waiting outside the room.The detective told me that the kidnapper had asked to speak with me The detective stepped back.The kidnapper slowly lifted his head. He looked very tired. "So you're Sebastian Cross." "I am."The kidnapper let out a laugh. It was not funny. "I did not think you would find us quickly."I pulled out a chair. Sat down across from him. I kept looking at his face. "You wanted to tell me something."He nodded slowly. "I do not know who your enemy is I only know what we were hired to do."I did not

    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
