Chapter 16 – Shattered Truths (Single POV) The silence in the safe house was suffocating. Evelyne stared at the file in her hands, the words on the pages blurring as her mind struggled to process what she had just read. "This wasn’t just a cover-up. It was an order." "By who?" "My father." The weight of those words crushed her. It wasn’t just William Carter who had buried the truth. It was her own blood. She felt like the air had been stolen from her lungs. Like the very foundation of her life had just collapsed beneath her feet. Across the room, Adrian sat stiffly in the chair, watching her. He hadn’t said anything since she spoke those words. He didn’t need to. Because they both knew what this meant. This wasn’t just about his family anymore. It was about hers too. ---
