Apocalypse Rebirth: My fortress, His Regret PERHAPS THE SYSTEM GAVE THE HOST TOO MUCH CREDIT.
Chapter 35Yet, looking across the table at Arthur Wilson’s enthusiastic, supportive face, Evelyn felt an unexpected tightness in her chest.For four agonizing years in the Vance household, Nora had called her a useless, barren parasite. Lucas had treated her intelligence like an inconvenience, taking credit for her quiet work while sneering that she wouldn't survive a week without his corporate paycheck. Amber had mocked her clothes, her background, and her gentle nature. Even today, Harrison Alex had looked at her like a cornered rabbit waiting to be skinned, and Delilah had only signed that contract because she thought she was robbing a desperate fool.Arthur Wilson was the first person—aside from Mr. Henderson—who looked at her and simply saw a brilliant, capable woman worthy of respect. He wasn't trying to sleep with her. He wasn't trying to steal her house. He was offering her a seat at his table because he admired her mind.
Apocalypse Rebirth: My fortress, His Regret Chapter 34: Arthur Wilson
She shifted her gaze toward the private executive lounge area just off the main lobby.Standing near a tall indoor palm was a distinguished man in his late fifties. He wore a classic, charcoal-gray three-piece suit cut from fine English wool, a silver pocket watch chain glinting faintly against his vest. His thick hair was neatly combed back, streaked with silver at the temples, and his posture carried the steady, unhurried dignity of old-school industry leadership. He was speaking quietly to two younger associates holding architectural tubes, gesturing with a pair of reading glasses in his hand.Arthur Wilson.Evelyn had met him when she first set up the refurbishment shell contract for Villa No. 1. Unlike almost every other man she had interacted with since coming back, Arthur Wilson hadn't looked at her with greed, lust, or condescending superiority. He had treated her like a serious client from the first handshake.As if sensing
Apocalypse Rebirth: My fortress, His Regret Chapter 33: Opportunity detected
"Did you want me to pour the vintage, Madam, or return it to the cellar?"The waiter stood nervously beside the velvet booth, holding the unopened bottle of 2010 Dom Pérignon cradled in a white linen cloth, while a second server hovered behind him with the chilled silver tin of Beluga caviar resting on a bed of crushed ice.Evelyn lowered her empty sparkling water glass to the marble table. She looked at the dark green glass of the champagne bottle, then glanced toward the heavy glass doors of the Azure Club where Amber and Beau had just fled in humiliation.A slow, dry smile touched the corner of her mouth."Neither," Evelyn said smoothly, sliding her sunglasses back down over the bridge of her nose as she picked up her leather handbag. "I already paid for it. Pack both the bottle and the caviar into a sealed thermal bag. I'll take them with me."The waiter blinked in surprise, then bowed his head quickly. "Right away, Madam."Leave five thousand dollars' worth of high-calorie luxury
Apocalypse Rebirth: My fortress, His Regret Chapter 32: Is something wrong
Amber’s hands curled into tight, shaking fists. She was completely enraged by the brutal, pinpoint accuracy of Evelyn's words, her chest heaving with silent fury.Evelyn smoothly shifted her freezing gaze to Beau, not giving them a second to recover. "And you. Tristan Vance’s little pet. Did he get tired of you whining about the dresses you couldn't afford at the boutique? Is that why you're here looking for a new sponsor? I must say, your current catch at the bar looks like a severe downgrade. Though, given your cheap status, I suppose beggars can't be choosers.""You bitch!" Beau hissed, her face contorting in ugly, uncontrollable fury. "You're nothing! You're just a hooker spending some old man's money! You don't have anything of your own!""I have something neither of you will ever possess," Evelyn replied, her voice ringing out with cold, absolute authority. "Dignity. Now get out of my sight before I call security and have you both escorted out for disturbing the peace."Amber le
Apocalypse Rebirth: My fortress, His Regret Chapter 31: Charity case
The Azure Club was a masterpiece of modern architecture, suspended high above the city skyline on the fiftieth floor of the obsidian-glass Zenith Tower. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic, dizzying view of the bustling metropolis below, while the interior dripped in quiet, old-world money. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm, golden glow over plush, crescent-shaped velvet booths. The air was thick with the scent of expensive Tom Ford perfumes, imported truffles, and vintage champagne. It was the kind of place where multi-million-dollar corporate mergers were struck over appetizers, and reputations were casually destroyed over dessert.Evelyn walked through the heavy, gold-trimmed glass doors, her heels sinking slightly into the thick, cream-colored carpet. She wore a tailored, midnight-blue pantsuit that hugged her figure perfectly, paired with a simple silk blouse and a pair of dark sunglasses she casually pushed to the top of her head.As she moved through the room, a few hea

"Well, well," The ugly man murmured, his voice dripping with arrogance as he leaned his shoulder against the concrete pillar, making no move to return to his crew. "Nice setup you got down here, Miss Sterling. Big, lonely house on a hill. A fancy water system."He took a step closer, invading her personal space. He looked around the empty alcove, his smile turning darker. "A beautiful woman like you, living all alone in a massive beautiful house like this... must get pretty lonely at night, huh? You look like the kind of high-class lady who could use a strong sugar boy to keep things running smooth around here. I charge a very reasonable hourly rate for... maintenance."Evelyn didn't back away. She didn't cross her arms defensively. She simply stood her ground, turning her dark, freezing eyes onto the fool. The sheer, lethal stillness in her gaze was so heavy it made the air between them feel instantly suffocating."Take one more step toward me," Evelyn said, her voice dropping into
