You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: THE SISTER WHO BETRAYED ME
"You're lying."The words left my mouth before I could process them.Claire stood motionless, two clean tracks of tears cutting through the dust on her cheeks. "I wish I were."I raised my sidearm, pressing the barrel an inch closer to her chest. "Explain yourself."She looked past me at Lily, then back into my eyes. "I didn't know he would come for her. I swear to God, I didn't.""Then why in God's name did you give him her coordinates?!"Claire pressed trembling fingers against the flashing silver bracelet on her wrist. "Because he promised he would release our mother."I stared at her, the room spinning. "Our mother?""Yes."I shook my head, my grip tightening on the gun. "You're going to have to explain that right now."Claire took a ragged, desperate breath. "After Gabriel captured me six years ago, he told me our mother was dead. He said I would never see her again unless I cooperated with his research. But three days ago... he showed me a live feed."She looked at t
You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: THE TRUTH BEHIND SUBJECT THREE
"Open the door."My voice sounded foreign, even to my own ears—stripped of hesitation, hardened into something lethal.Miller immediately stepped sideways, blocking my path. "Clara, we don't know who she is. We can't let her inside."I looked up at him, my gaze unyielding. "She knows about my father. She knows about Lily. And she knows what's waiting in that laboratory.""That doesn't mean we can trust her."From the other side of the heavy reinforced glass, the woman spoke, her voice muffled but clear:"He's right. You shouldn't trust me."I frowned, tightening my grip on my sidearm. "Then why should I open it?""Because you have less than twenty minutes before Gabriel's strike teams hit this perimeter."Jonah whipped his tablet around, his face draining of color. "Commander, she's right. I'm picking up a heavy convoy signature breaking through the northern tree line."Miller cursed under his breath, turning to the guards. "Lock down the western wing! Nobody enters without
You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: THE WOMAN WITH MY FACE
I couldn't move.The woman standing outside the shelter glass carried my face. My eyes. My nose. Even the faint, jagged scar beneath my lower lip—a mark I had earned falling off a wooden fence when I was seven years old.It was as if someone had reached into a mirror, ripped my reflection out, and given it a breathing, walking body of its own.Only she looked older. Not by decades, perhaps five or six years, but enough to stretch the familiar lines of my own visage into something hardened by years of surviving in the dark."Mommy?"Lily's small, trembling voice pulled me back from the edge of panic.I turned, dropping to my knees and gripping her shoulders. "Listen to me, sweetheart. I want you to stay behind this desk. Do not open the door for anyone unless you hear my voice. Do you understand?"She nodded frantically, fear wide in her dark eyes. "Are you going to fight her?"I swallowed hard. "I don't know yet."I kissed her forehead, stood up, and ripped my radio off my belt. "Mill
You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: THE CHILD IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
"Because that person is not Anna."My mother's warning lingered in the cold room like smoke, slowly settling over the hum of the dying fluorescent lights.I stared at the black display screen, waiting for her voice to cut through the static again. Nothing. Only the low, mechanical whine of an overheating server rack.Miller stepped up beside me, thumbing off the safety of his shotgun. "Clara, the secondary blast doors are starting to cycle. We have to move out now."I barely heard him.My gaze remained locked on the worn photograph in my hand. Two little girls standing in the sunlight. One carried my dark hair and my posture. The other carried Anna's soft, guarded smile.Subject Two.If the second silver tracking bracelet belonged to me, then why had Daniel handed it over as if it were a dead girl's heirloom? And who was the woman currently walking through my settlement wearing the matching set?"Jonah," I said, my voice dead calm."Yeah?""Pull the raw audio logs off that
You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: THE WOMAN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
I stared at the security photograph on the tablet screen.The woman was wearing a standard medical scrub uniform, her face obscured behind a sterile white mask. Her body was turned slightly toward the lens, but the tarnished silver chain resting against her left wrist was unmistakable—the exact heirloom Daniel claimed had been buried inside Anna's primary vault twenty years ago.I turned slowly to face Daniel. "Who is she?"Daniel shook his head frantically, his face pale under the fluorescent lights. "I don't know.""You expect me to believe that?""I'm telling you the truth, Clara!" he rasped, his voice cracking with desperation. "That bracelet was an internal tracking serial—an Asterion identification key! They used it to distinguish the original baseline subjects from their reconstructed digital profiles!"Jonah stepped into the light of the medical bay doorway, his scanner clutched tightly in his hand. "That doesn't add up. The original hardware keys were destroyed when th
You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: THE TRUTH HE CARRIED
The silver bracelet sat on my bedside table like an accusation.I had stared at its tiny engraved initials—A.W.—for nearly an hour while the settlement slept. Seven words on a scrap of paper had upended everything I thought I knew about my childhood.Your mother did not give birth to one girl.I remembered my mother's hands brushing my hair when I was little. I remembered her voice humming lullabies when nightmares woke me. I had grown up believing I was her only child, wondering why I never had a sister to share the weight of our quiet, sterile home.Had she lied to me every single day?A sharp knock broke the silence."Come in," I said, not turning from the table.Miller stepped into the room, his jaw set tight. "Daniel is conscious."I picked up the bracelet and slipped it into my tactical pocket. "Did he ask for me?""Repeatedly.""Good. Bring him to the subterranean holding cell."Miller studied my face in the dim light. "Clara, you need to sleep. You're running on fu
