APOCALYPSE DIVORCE: The Billionaire Begs at my Fortress Gate Chapter Eight
VeldanaI pushed my mother's silver emblem to the back of my mind. I had no time to chase ghosts. Lincoln was trying to steal the ground where my son's life would be saved.Thinking about her would only slow me down. Leo was still counting on me.Every morning the news showed more sick people and more empty streets.I called Julian back before the office clock hit noon.Julian had worked for me for years. He never wasted words, and I liked that about him."Have you locked down the meetings for this afternoon?" I asked."Everything is set," Julian replied. "The landowners are ready to sign as soon as we put the cash on the table. The mining company director agreed to a closed-door talk at three o'clock.""Make sure our escrow accounts are fully loaded," I instructed. "We are walking out of those meetings with every deed signed and filed."Everything would run through the new holding company. That way, my name stayed off the paperwork.I didn't want any loose ends. Every missing signatu

VeldanaI stared at the audit on my tablet, watching the numbers flash. Lincoln was betting every dollar Gibson Enterprises had on one desperate bluff.The numbers didn't lie, and they didn't care how tired I was.He thought he was racing me for a valuable piece of real estate. He had no idea he was walking right into a trap that would leave him broke.Lincoln always thought money could fix everything. He was about to find out it couldn't.We had been bumping heads for years. Every time we chased the same land, he showed up with more money and less sense.He always rushed. That was his problem.I couldn't let his greed ruin my plans for Aegis Prime. Blackwood Ridge was the only place safe enough to protect Leo when the sky turned into a furnace.Most people still thought the news was exaggerated. I knew better, and I had the data to prove it.Without that mountain, Aegis Prime was just a fancy idea on paper. I needed it real, and I needed it fast.This wasn't a normal business deal an

VeldanaI didn't panic when Julian told me Lincoln was trying to buy Blackwood Ridge.Of course Lincoln wanted the mountain. He never chased anything unless it made him richer or put him above someone else.I knew him too well. I had spent years married to him, and I had watched how he treated anyone who stood in his way. Winning was the only thing that mattered to him."How long has he been after it?" I asked, keeping my voice flat as I stared out the dark window."Gibson's people made their first move three days ago," Julian said through the phone. "They went straight to the mining company with an offer that was way too generous. They're trying to grab the biggest piece of land in the basin first, before anyone else can get close.""Who is his contact at the mining company?" I asked."Their finance director. Gibson's lawyer has been calling him every day," Julian said. "He's pushing hard, and he's pushing fast."That told me what I needed to know. A man who calls every day is a man

Veldana“[SECURE BLACKWOOD RIDGE WITHIN FOURTEEN DAYS]” the glowing blue screen said. “[FULL LEGAL OWNERSHIP EARNS THE TERRAIN TRANSMUTATION CORE]”I stared at the interface which was floating near the wall of my home office. The reward was a core that could turn a normal mountain rock into a strong foundation for Aegis Prime.“[DO YOU ACCEPT THIS MISSION?]” the system asked."Yes," I said, and tapped the screen.A soft chime rang in my head and then a green timer blinked into the corner of my vision.Fourteen days."Let's get to work," I muttered to the empty room.I pulled up the fortress blueprint again. Walls, barracks, generator rooms, and a water tower filled the screen. Every room would cost money that I didn't have yet.The blueprint said construction would cost about $450 million, but I knew that was just the start. Concrete, steel beams, geothermal generators, and hydro-seeding machines would drain my money fast. I also needed people who would not panic when the power went o

VeldanaBy two o'clock that afternoon, the front hall of the Crestview estate looked like a shipping dock.Four guards from Vanguard Security stood by the marble pillars with their arms folded.Fourteen suitcases, garment bags, and trunks were stacked along the stairs. They held every suit, watch, and cufflink Lincoln owned in this house.I sat in the sitting room sipping black tea while Julian Vance's paralegal checked the divorce papers on the glass table. Leo was across town with his nanny at a play center I had rented for the whole afternoon.The front doors banged open.Lincoln marched in with his jaw tight, his tie loose and his collar open. His mother and Jenny Hall followed him like a pair of buzzards.He had expected to find me in tears, ready to beg. Instead he saw four guards, two lawyers, and all his clothes packed by the door. He stared at the luggage, then at me."What is the meaning of this circus, Veldana?" he demanded. "You put guards at my gates? Do you know how this

VeldanaThe glowing blue screen floated in front of my face. I didn't touch it. I shrank back against the bedpost, my heart pounding in my ears.'Hallucination,' I thought, wiping my cold forehead. A dying mind could make up all kinds of things. Maybe my body was still lying on the frozen ground outside the bunker while the horde chewed on my bones.[ALERT: HOST MENTAL STATE STABILIZING.][REMINDER: THIS IS NOT A HALLUCINATION.]The chime sounded again inside my skull. It felt smooth and cold, nothing like my racing heart."What are you?" I whispered, glancing at the bed. Leo was still asleep under the duvet.[DESIGNATION: CELESTIAL SYSTEM.][FUNCTION: SURVIVAL PROTOCOL AND DOMAIN CONVERSION.][MISSION STATUS: TEMPORAL REGRESSION PHASE ONE DONE.]"Can anyone else see you?" I asked.[NO. ONLY THE HOST CAN SEE THE SYSTEM.]"Good."Blueprints flashed across the panel: underground forts, air filters, defense grids, medicine labs.[THE SYSTEM GIVES ACCESS TO HIGH-TIER ASSETS: COMBAT UPGRAD
