Evelyn's POV

I sat there quietly as the conference room doors opened and three police officers walked in. The room that was already tense became more serious.

Even Tiffany, who had been yelling a minute before, became quiet. Fear showed up on her face as she looked at the officers.

    Sebastian's POV The explosion echoed through the emergency radio before the transmission went dead. For one brief second, the control room fell completely silent.Every pair of eyes turned toward me. No one needed to ask what my next order would be."Prepare the vehicles."I was already walking toward the exit."Notify the police and emergency response team. No one enters the laboratory until the area is secured.""Yes, Mr. Cross."The drive to Laboratory Three felt endless. The flashing lights of emergency vehicles became visible long before we reached the facility.Smoke drifted into the night sky. It wasn't a massive fire, but it was enough to tell me this hadn't been an accident.Firefighters had already extinguished the flames. Police officers surrounded the building with yellow tape.One of the commanders approached me immediately."Mr. Cross.""Report.""The explosion was contained inside one research wing."He handed m

    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.

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.
