The Discovery That Changed Everything..

Eve Lancaster had always believed in logic. In facts. In tangible truths that could be traced, studied, dissected.

But Damian Cross?

He wasn’t something that could be explained.

And that terrified her.

Her obsession with finding answers had started slowly—a restless curiosity, a need to regain control after their encounters left her breathless and disoriented. But now, after being forced into his game, after realizing that running had never been an option, that curiosity had transformed into something else.

She had to know.

Because the more she searched, the more she realized—Damian didn’t just want her.

He had planned for her.

The Man Who Didn’t Exist..

Eve sat in her apartment, her laptop screen glowing in the dim light, filled with pages of desperate searches.

"Damian Cross."

She had scoured government databases, hacked into restricted archives, searched places that weren’t supposed to be accessible. But no matter how deep she went, no matter how many layers she uncovered—he was a ghost.

There was no birth certificate. No records. No legal identity attached to him.

But then, she found it.

"One file."

Redacted, classified, buried so deep in encrypted networks that finding it should have been impossible.

Her fingers trembled as she opened it.

And that’s when she realized—

Damian Cross wasn’t just dangerous.

He had been manufactured to be.

The Truth Behind His Name..

The file revealed fragments of something far darker than she ever imagined.

A program.
A secret initiative, built for control, built for dominance.

Damian Cross was not just a man.

"He was created."

Trained. Modified. Conditioned to be something more.

A weapon.
A ghost that operated beyond the laws of reality.
A force that didn’t exist in the world unless he chose to.

Her breath hitched as she read further.

Every mission he had undertaken.
Every disappearance linked to his name.
Every woman who had vanished after encountering him.

And suddenly—it clicked.

She wasn’t just another target.

She is the final one.

The Twist That Changed Everything..

Eve’s pulse roared, hands shaking as she sat back, staring at the screen like it was a gateway to hell itself.

Damian Cross had never just been a man lurking in the shadows.

He had been assigned to her.

Her existence wasn’t accidental.
Her survival wasn’t guaranteed.

And now that she had uncovered this truth—

"She was officially marked for destruction."

A sharp knock at her door shattered her thoughts.

She froze.

Her breath caught in her throat.

She already knew who it was.

Because Damian Cross always knew when she was ready for the next step.

And this time—he wasn’t going to let her walk away.
