"The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!"

Avyanna's POV:

"His name is Ezequiel Markov."

Golden streak of scintillating sun reflected through the large building glasses, the cars speeded away, looking comically small from the 82nd floor. I found the animated scenery in front of me far more captivating than the conversation.

I tilted my head, twirling the paperweight between my fingers. I was mindless, because at this point, fighting off an invisible enemy for project black seemed far more unattainable than it already was.

Lighting a cigar and taking a large drag of it, I simply asked, "Tell me how he managed to get under the radar for so long. The discovery was abrupt. A blur. A panicked scream of an employee who opened her computer and found all of her data to be gone. If he has a hidden son, it would explain a lot."

Just like that, her months of hard work and reports. All vanished.

Luckily, her phone had a backup cloud which had two important files saved, including her outline for project black. Other than that, everything was deleted.

Only a small message remained, "Hope you liked your present- EM"

"No, not a hidden son," Our security chief shook his head, "According to the database, he is the nephew of Carlos Markov. The Markov fortune belongs to his mother and he is the one who plays Carlos."

"You didn't answer my question," I took another drag of the cigar.

"Well, as per your request, we ran a background check on Carlos. His very last interaction with Ezequiel Markov was recorded in Greece. That is where his son, Percy Markov resided for three years."

"Interesting," I leaned towards the iPad that held the information of Ezequiel Markov, "So he stayed with his cousin in Greece?"

"Just not that," He pointed to a photo that was taken with Percy Markov and uploaded on his Instagram, "He had no digital trace up until three or four months ago. This is him by the way."
