Chapter 15: The Dead Woman's Passport
Jonathan survived surgery but remained in a coma.
While police searched for the shooter, Evelyn entered the hidden archive beneath Cross Capital.
Inside she found classified government files.
One passport stopped her heart.
It carried her mother's photograph.
Different name.
Different nationality.
Issued only three years earlier.
Impossible.
According to every legal document...
Her mother had already returned home before then.
Someone else had been using her identity.
Or...
Someone living with Evelyn wasn't the woman she believed.
That night Evelyn quietly entered her mother's bedroom.
She searched the closet.
Hidden beneath old clothes...
She found another passport.
Exactly the same face.
A different birthday.
Footsteps echoed behind her.
"Evelyn."
Her mother's voice.
Soft.
May you like
Calm.
"Looking for something?"
