Emily's legs weakened.
"This... this isn't possible..."
Alexander's expression turned dangerous.
"This is obsession."
No.
It was worse.
Control.
---
At the center of the room -
A single file.
Different from the others.
New.
Untouched.
Alexander picked it up.
Emily's heart pounded.
"What's inside?"
He opened it.
Then froze.
For the second time -
He had no words.
Emily grabbed it.
Her eyes scanned the page.
And then -
Her world shattered.
Because written clearly at the top was:
Subject Name: Emily Carter
Status: Active Asset
Her breath stopped.
"What does that mean...?"
Alexander's voice was low.
"It means..."
He looked at her.
"You were never just a victim."
Silence.
Heavy.
Terrifying.
"Emily..."
His voice dropped.
"You were part of this."
