You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: THE DOOR BENEATH MY FEET
The three knocks came again.Slow.Deliberate.Almost patient.I stood completely still, my sidearm trained on the floorboards beneath my desk.Jonah had stopped breathing beside me, his knuckles white around his frequency scanner. "Clara," he whispered, his voice barely audible over the hum of the emergency lanterns. "We need to clear the room."I snatched the radio off my belt without taking my eyes off the metal hatch. "Miller, seal every entrance to the command building. Nobody comes in or goes out without my personal sign-off.""Already done," Miller’s voice crackled back instantly. "Security teams are setting a perimeter around the block. What's happening in there?""Keep everyone away from the western shelter," I commanded, my jaw tight. "Lily stays under heavy guard. Do not move her.""Understood."I dropped the radio back into its holster. Another knock echoed from below—metal scraping against metal.Jonah stepped carefully toward the corner of my office, hauling
You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER THIRTY: A BETRAYAL BENEATH MY ROOF
I didn't sleep that night.Every time I closed my eyes, the same harrowing sequence replayed behind my eyelids: the cold, rusted shelter gates; the snarling horde of infected closing in; Lily weeping against my chest; and Elias Voss standing silently behind Marcus, watching us like specimens under glass.But the memory wasn't the worst part.The worst part was knowing that someone living inside my fortress, breathing my air, eating my food, had watched it all happen—and had brought the nightmare back into our home.I stood by the tall glass window of my command office, watching the settlement wake beneath a pale, frosty sunrise. Down in the courtyard, children carried steaming buckets from the water station, and scouts repaired the outer wooden barricades. It looked peaceful. It looked safe.It looked like a lie.A light knock snapped me out of my trance."Come in," I said, without turning.Miller stepped into the room, his heavy boots sounding muffled against the rug. He hel
You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: THE MAN AT THE GATE
For several seconds, nobody moved.The man stood outside the medical bay doorway as if he had been waiting for us all along.His old military jacket was faded and torn at the shoulders. A jagged, pale scar crossed his left cheek, disappearing beneath his collar. He carried no visible weapon, but something about the quiet, balanced way he stood made my guards tighten their fingers around their triggers.I knew that face.Not because I had ever spoken to him. Because I had seen it on the worst day of my first life.He had stood in the shadows behind Marcus at the shelter gates. He had whispered into my husband's ear before the locks dropped. And moments later, the infected had turned away from the other vehicles and driven straight for Lily and me.I had spent five years wondering what he had said to Marcus in those final seconds. Now he was standing ten feet from my daughter."Move Lily behind me," I whispered.Miller stepped forward, raising his shotgun. "Identify yourself! H
You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: I REFUSE TO CHOOSE
"PURGE PROTOCOL: FIVE SECONDS."The digital readout pulsed a toxic, blinding red against the subterranean darkness.My hands shook so violently I nearly dropped my sidearm. Behind me, Gabriel struggled against Miller's iron grip, his low, breathy laughter echoing off the damp concrete. My mother was shouting, her words swallowed by the deafening roar of the facility's emergency sirens.On the junction box screen, Anna was crying—digital tears fracturing into pixelated lines of white noise."Clara, please," her child’s voice cracked over the speaker. "You have to choose. If you don't execute the purge, the system resets the whole timeline!"I stared at her small face. She had my eyes. My mother's soft, curved smile. And a lifetime of stolen memories I would never get to share with her.I had spent my entire life believing I was an only child. I had grown up without a sister to whisper secrets to beneath the blankets, without a sister to share the weight of a shattered family. I
You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: THE VOICE THAT SOUNDED LIKE ME
“Don't trust your mother.”The warning came through the dark, cold and sharp.I stopped breathing.For a heartbeat, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. Red emergency strobes flashed against the subterranean walls, server stacks shrieked, and alarms continued their deafening wail.But I knew that voice. It was mine.Not similar. Not an imitation. It was the exact pitch and cadence of my own voice.I turned toward my mother, my rifle barrel lowering an inch. "Did you hear that?"She didn't answer, her hands trembling as she backed away from the console."Mother?""Clara... step away from the terminal," she pleaded, her voice cracking with sudden, overwhelming desperation. "Please."Gabriel stood near the smoking server racks, watching us with a look of cold, calculating amusement. "You see, Clara? This is why I needed you brought down here."I snapped my sidearm up, centering the red dot on Gabriel's forehead. "Explain the voice.""Ask your mother," Gabriel replied
You Chose Her I Chose Revenge CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: THE WOMAN I USED TO BE
The darkness swallowed everything.For three terrifying seconds, the emergency lighting dropped entirely, leaving me blind in the heart of my father's machine.Then the auxiliary reds kicked on, bathing the subterranean lab in a violent, pulsed glow."Clara, wait!"Miller’s voice cracked through the emergency comms unit on my tactical belt.I whipped around, bringing my rifle up. Miller stood at the mouth of the stairwell, chest heaving, his boots sliding against the dust. He wasn't alone—two armed guards flanked him, weapons raised."I told you to hold the surface," I said, my voice dangerously sharp."I couldn't hold the surface, Clara," Miller panted, stepping past the threshold. "The seismic telemetry isn't just shifting beneath us—the whole mountain is opening up. The infected aren't waiting at the perimeter anymore. They're breaking themselves against our outer gates."I looked past him into the gloom of the corridor. "Where is Jonah?""Holding the western bunker with
