Apocalypse: My Husband’s Stepbrother Is the 001 Commander
My husband betrayed me with my best friend, stole my father's company, and left me with nothing.
Then the apocalypse came.
While the world burned around us, I saved an injured stranger without knowing who he was. He was cold, ruthless, and terrifying, but he was also the only person who could keep my daughter and me alive.
Ten years later, I have become the head of the Underworld's Defense System, while the man I saved has become 001, the most feared commander in the Underworld.
For ten years, he has protected me under a contract that is finally coming to an end.
I thought I was ready to walk away from him.
Until my past came crawling back.
My former husband appeared before me on his knees, begging me to save his family. Then he told me something that shattered everything I thought I knew.
His brother is 001.
The man who has protected me for ten years.
The man I can no longer walk away from and neither of us knows the greatest secret of all.
The little girl he has protected all these years is his daughter.

Chapter: Came BeggingChapter FourVeyra’s POVWhen I returned home, the first thing I heard was Zuri’s laughter coming from the sitting room, and for the first time since I had seen Orien again, I felt a small sense of peace because I knew my daughter was waiting for me at home.I walked toward the sitting room, but before I could enter, I heard Cairos’s familiar voice.“You are getting better"“I’m tired,” Zuri complained.“You can rest when you are tired, Zuu”I smiled faintly as I stood outside the room.For the past five years, Zuri had become incredibly close to Cairos, and their bond had grown into something I never expected when I first came to the Underworld with her. Whenever Cairos left for a mission, she waited for him to return, and whenever he came home, she would run toward him before anyone else could greet him.Cairos had taught her how to recognize danger, how to use the emergency signals, how to stay calm during attacks, and how to protect herself when there was no one around to help her

Chapter: The 001 CommanderChapter Three The 001 CommanderVeryra’s POV “Provide the automated defense system to Sector Seven before sunset.”“Yes, ma’am.”“And increase the shield strength around the eastern border by twenty percent, because the last breach damaged three of our outer stations and I will not have another settlement blaming the Defense Network for failing to protect them.”The officer quickly lowered his head. “Understood, Head Veyra.”He turned and hurried out of my office, leaving me alone with the endless reports covering my desk and the large screen displaying hundreds of defense points across the Underworld.I leaned back in my chair and slowly rubbed my forehead.This was how my life had been for the past Five years.Five years ago, I had been a woman standing in her husband's office with her daughter in her arms, watching the two people she trusted most destroy everything she believed about love, family, and trust.Five years ago, I had believed losing Orien and my father's company was t

Chapter: The Injured ManChapter TwoThe first thing I noticed was that the sky was wrong.It was no longer the familiar blue I had known all my life, but a dark, burning orange that seemed to stretch endlessly above us, with thick clouds of smoke covering whatever remained of the city.I pushed myself off the ground, my ears ringing so badly that I could barely hear anything around me..“Zuri?”“Mom!”I turned immediately and found her several feet away, sitting on the ground with dust covering her pink dress and tears running down her face.I rushed to her and pulled her into my arms, searching her face and body for any sign of injury.“Are you hurt?”She shook her head quickly and buried her face against my chest.“I don't know where we are.”Neither did I. I slowly looked around, and the sight before me made my stomach twist.This was not the street outside my father's company.The buildings were different, the roads were cracked open in several places, cars were scattered across the streets as though someon

Chapter: BetrayalChapter One“Finally, we are going to Daddy's office.”I laughed at Zuri's excitement and tightened my hold on her little hand.“Yes, we are.”She skipped beside me, her pink bag bouncing against her back as we crossed the lobby of my father's company.“Do you think Daddy will be surprised?”“Very.”She giggled.“Because we didn't tell him?”“Exactly.”I smiled down at her, but my gaze drifted across the familiar building.It had been years since I had walked through these doors without feeling something heavy settle in my chest.This place had belonged to my father long before it belonged to me.I had grown up here, running through the hallways, hiding behind the reception desk whenever my father pretended to be angry with me for disturbing his employees.Then he died.And suddenly, everything he had built became mine.I wasn't ready for it.I couldn't even walk into his office without feeling like I was losing him all over again.That was when Orien stepped in.He had been there thr
