Chapter 15 - The Unseen Boss
That night, a storm raged over the coast.
I sat in the nursery holding my newborn.
Little baby Clara slept peacefully in my arms.
My mobile phone chimed with an encrypted text.
An unknown video file was attached to message.
I opened the file with my trembling thumb.
The video showed a live satellite camera feed.
A camera pointing directly down at my nursery window.
Whoever sent the file was watching me right now.
A floorboard creaked softly in the hallway outside.
Slow, heavy, deliberate footsteps approached my door.
The electronic deadbolt lock chimed with soft beep.
The keycard reader flashed green on door frame.
Whoever was outside held a master digital keycard.
The heavy wooden door swung open slowly inside.
A tall man stepped into the dimly lit room.
He wore an immaculate, expensive dark tailored suit.
His silver hair was styled neatly, eyes cold.
His face matched my father's features down exactly.
It was my father's identical twin brother, Thomas.
The uncle we believed died twenty years ago.
He looked at my sleeping baby and smiled warmly.
A chilling, terrifying smile of pure dark triumph.

"Hello, Claire," Thomas whispered in a soft voice.
"The most shocking part is yet to come. Comment 'yes' so I can drop Part Two immediately!"
