All Chapters of 30 days to save my enemy: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

CHAPTER ONE: THE MAN WHO KILLED MY FATHERI watched Commander Kael Draven put a bullet through my father’s head.The sound was smaller than I expected. One sharp crack, a burst of smoke, and my father dropped to his knees on the execution platform. For one impossible second, he looked almost surprised. Then he fell forward, and the world I knew ended with him.“Your father betrayed the city,” Kael announced to the crowd. “His actions endangered every survivor under our protection.”My father had spent twenty years trying to protect those survivors. He had warned the council that the containment project was unstable. He had begged them to shut it down. They called him a traitor, and Kael believed them.I screamed until my throat tore. Soldiers dragged me away before I could reach my father’s body. Kael watched without blinking.I swore I would make him pay.Three days later, the infected broke through the city gates. The council fled, the military abandoned the outer districts, and the

CHAPTER THREE: THE WOMAN WHO KNOWS TOMORROWKael cancelled the briefing, but he didn’t believe me completely. He moved it to a secure conference room and filled the corridor with armed guards. If I was lying, I would be exposed. If I was telling the truth, he would catch whoever was behind the attack.I had no intention of waiting around to see which outcome he preferred.While Rowan reviewed the security logs, I used my temporary access to pull the warehouse manifests. The first address contained bottled water and canned food. The second held antibiotics, bandages, and portable generators. The third stored batteries, radios, and fuel canisters.I memorised the quantities and saved copies to my phone. Then I found a fourth shipment listed under an industrial cleaning company. It contained protective suits, respirators, and sealed laboratory containers. The delivery had been authorised by Dr. Mara Voss.My stomach tightened. Mara had testified against my father. She had told the counci

CHAPTER FIVE: THE FIRST MONSTERThe north research facility was already under lockdown when we arrived. Kael had brought a small tactical team, while I carried the access records my father had recovered. The front doors were sealed, and alarms flashed red across the glass.A scientist stumbled out of a side entrance, blood running down his face.“Don’t let them open the containment wing!” he shouted. “The subject is changing!”A crash shook the building. Something slammed against the inside of the laboratory door.Kael raised his weapon. “Everyone behind me.”I moved beside him instead. “The emergency controls are on the second floor. If the power fails, the containment doors will unlock.”“You know that how?”“I read the facility plans.”He looked as if he wanted to argue, but another crash silenced him. We entered through the side door and ran up the stairwell. A technician lay unconscious on the landing. I checked his pulse, then kept moving. There was no time to waste.At the cont
