Apocalypse Rebirth: Ex Husband Regrets CHAPTER 6
Chapter 6: Playing the Innocent HelperThe front door slammed open with a violent bang, the heavy wooden frame rattling against the wall."Aria!" Ethan roared, his voice hoarse, his face twisted in a mixture of blind rage and panic. He tore off his suit jacket and threw it onto the floor, his eyes wild as he marched into the living room.Behind him, Beatrice and Anna rushed into the house. Beatrice was trembling so hard she could barely keep her balance, while Anna’s mascara smeared down her cheeks from crying all the way home.I stepped out of the kitchen holding a damp towel, my eyes wide with fake terror. I shrank back against the wall, trembling like a frightened bird."Ethan... what happened?" I squeaked out, my voice high and full of panic. "Why are you screaming? You scared me!""What happened?!" Ethan yelled, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me roughly. "The bank froze everything! My business accounts, my personal credit cards, even Mother's villa! They said a private holding

Chapter 5: The First Silent SlapThe crystal chandeliers of the Grand Palace Restaurant cast a warm, blinding glow over the long banquet table. The air smelled of roasted lamb, fine red wine, and expensive perfume.Ethan sat at the head of the table, his silk shirt unbuttoned at the collar, holding a crystal wine glass high in the air. Sitting right beside him, Anna wore a sparkling silver dress, her laughter loud and clear as she showed off a new diamond bracelet to the six wealthy investors seated around them."To the future!" Ethan shouted, his cheeks flushed red from champagne. "To expanding our logistics firm across the entire continent! By next week, our capital base will triple!""We couldn't have done it without Ethan's brilliant leadership," Anna said sweetly, leaning her head on Ethan’s shoulder and smiling at the guests. "When you have real vision, the money always follows."At the other end of the table, Ethan’s mother, Beatrice, took a delicate sip of her wine and chuckle
Apocalypse Rebirth: Ex Husband Regrets CHAPTER 4
Chapter 4: The Poisoned GiftThe heavy oak front door clicked shut, and Ethan walked into the living room, loosening his tie with a long, exhausted sigh. His face was pale, his eyes bloodshot, and his phone hadn't stopped buzzing in his pocket since he stepped into the house."Aria!" Ethan called out, his voice sharp and tight with tension. "Where are you?"I stepped out of the kitchen, wearing a simple apron and carrying a silver tray with a steaming mug of hot chamomile tea. I kept my posture small, my head slightly bowed, looking like the same obedient, fearful wife I had been for five agonizing years."I'm right here, Ethan," I said softly, setting the mug down on the glass table. "You look so stressed. Is everything alright at the office?"Ethan collapsed onto the leather sofa, burying his face in his hands. "It's a disaster, Aria. The offshore logistics firm locked up our primary line of credit. If I don't pay five hundred thousand dollars in short-term interest penalties by noo

Chapter 3: The Lawyer and the Hidden ClauseThe morning sun hit the tall glass windows of Harrison & Associates Law Firm, burning away the early autumn chill. I sat in a high-backed leather chair, clutching a soft blue blanket against my chest like an anxious, devoted mother.Mr. Harrison, a silver-haired man who had managed my late mother’s affairs for twenty years, pushed a hot mug of tea across the polished mahogany desk. His eyes were kind, but full of deep concern."Aria, child, you look exhausted," Mr. Harrison said softly, leaning his arms on the desk. "When you called me at seven this morning saying it was an absolute emergency, I thought something terrible had happened.""I am tired, Mr. Harrison," I murmured, staring into the dark tea. I let my voice sound small, timid, and burdened. "It’s Leo. His health is getting worse again. Ethan’s family says we need to transfer my mother’s entire estate into Ethan’s business account today to pay for a private clinic in Zurich."Mr. Ha
Apocalypse Rebirth: Ex Husband Regrets CHAPTER 2
Chapter 2: The Meek Daughter-in-LawThe blue screen hovered right in my line of sight, its pale light glowing silently over the three people standing in my warm living room.[Document Scanned: Evelyn Family Estate Transfer Agreement][Forgery Detected: Land Valuation Underreported by 80%]Biological Scan: Target Subject 'Leo'—0% Genetic Match]A cold lump settled in my throat, but it wasn't from the blizzard that killed me in my past life. It was the absolute, icy clarity of knowing every single word out of their mouths was a calculated lie."Well? Are you going to sign it or just stare at it all day?" Beatrice barked, her heel tapping a sharp, impatient rhythm on the hardwood floor. "The clinic in Zurich needs the wire transfer confirmed by five o'clock! Every second you waste sitting there like an idiot, your son's lungs are failing!"Anna leaned closer, her eyes wet with fresh, practiced tears. She squeezed my wrist, her fingers surprisingly strong for someone pretending to be weak
Apocalypse Rebirth: Ex Husband Regrets CHAPTER 1
Chapter 1: The Frost & The LieThe wind screamed through the dead trees, whipping snow into my face like shattered glass. I hugged the canvas bag of canned stew and bread tight against my chest.To get this food, I had walked four long miles through a -40⁰C blizzard to the last open supply depot, spending the very last bill in my wallet. Inside my thin gloves, my hands were black, stiff, and completely numb. Every single step felt like stepping on sharp nails, but I kept going. I kept thinking of my family, my husband Ethan, my sick five-year-old boy Leo, and my widowed sister-in-law Anna, who had lived with us since her husband passed away three years ago.When I finally reached the porch of our villa, I banged my frozen elbow against the heavy wooden door."Ethan! Anna! Please, open up!" I cried out. "I brought the food!"The door creaked open. Ethan stood in the warm entryway, heat pouring out around him. Behind him, Anna wrapped a thick fur blanket over her shoulders."Give me tha
