Chapter 15 - THE DOUBLE AGENT
The European man chuckled softly, taking a long drag from his cigar before tapping a button on his console. A large projection screen descended from the ceiling, flickering to life with a high-definition video feed.
The screen displayed a luxurious office located inside a chalet in the Swiss Alps. Sitting in a leather armchair was an elderly man holding a crystal glass of whiskey—a man whose face Evelyn recognized instantly from her childhood.

Arthur Montgomery, her father's younger brother, smiled warmly through the screen, looking at her with cold, calculating eyes.

"You ordered the crash on the bridge!" Evelyn shouted, tears of rage springing to her eyes. "You tried to destroy my life and my daughter's future!"
"I needed the master biometric key that your father foolishly locked inside your DNA," Arthur explained calmly. "Five years ago, the memory wipe failed because your love for that child created an unbreakable neurological bypass. But tonight, I don't need your memory—I just need your blood."
