"You came back."

Marcos stood in the doorway of his office, his expression caught between irritation and something else that looked almost like hope. Katie smiled. It was a careful smile—small, fragile, designed to make him feel needed.

"I did. We weren't finished."

The Starlight Hotel was quiet at this hour.

The lobby lights were dimmed. The reception desk was empty. Everyone had gone home except for the night manager—Marcos—who worked late every evening, reviewing paperwork, checking security

  • Apocalypse Reborn: My Family Begged But I Shut The Gates   Lost Hope

    Her knees weakened. She caught the edge of the table, then sank into a chair and began sobbing harder.“God, why? Why is this happening to me? Why me?” She cried.She pressed both hands against her chest as though she could physically hold herself together.“I haven't even recovered fully! I just came back from the hospital. I was in so much pain that I thought I was going to lose my baby. I thought I would die!”Raymond crouched in front of her. “Amanda, look at me.”She shook her head violently. “I can't do this anymore. I can't keep fighting every single day. I can't!”“Yes, you can,” he said gently. “But you don't have to do everything this minute.”“They have taken everything! They damaged everything and broken my security system! How do I start all over? What am I supposed to do?”Her voice cracked on the last word. “What am I supposed to do?”Raymond took her hands carefully, avoiding the cuts and broken glass around them. “We'll find out what's missing. We'll see what can be r

  • Apocalypse Reborn: My Family Begged But I Shut The Gates   Everything She Built

    The rain had almost stopped by the time Raymond turned into the road leading to Amanda's fortress.Amanda sat quietly in the passenger seat, one hand resting over her stomach and the other holding the hospital discharge papers inside her bag. Her body felt weak, and every bump in the road reminded her that she needed rest.All she wanted was to get home, take her medication, lie down, and forget about the frightening hours she had just endured.“Almost there,” Raymond said, glancing at her.She nodded faintly. “I can't wait to lie down.”“You're going to do exactly that when we arrive. No work, no lifting anything and no running around.”Despite her exhaustion, Amanda managed a weak smile. “You're beginning to sound like the doctor.”“Good. Maybe you'll listen to me if I sound like one.”She almost laughed. For a few seconds, the tension in her chest eased. She imagined walking into her bedroom, changing into something comfortable, and lying beneath her blanket. Perhaps she would fina

  • Apocalypse Reborn: My Family Begged But I Shut The Gates   I Was Afraid

    “I had no choice.” She lowered her voice. “I was already planning to divorce him anyways. I knew our marriage was over, but I didn't know how to leave safely or how to protect myself. Then I discovered the baby, and everything became more complicated.”Raymond stared at her, struggling to absorb everything she had revealed.“Eric is the father,” Amanda continued quickly. “I know that but I don't want to stay married to him. I don't want to raise this child in a home where I am constantly mistreated. I kept the pregnancy from him because I needed time to find a way out and prepare myself.”Raymond's expression softened, though concern still filled his eyes. “You should have told someone.”“I was afraid.” She wiped away a tear. “I was afraid no one would understand. I was afraid you would think I had deceived you, or that you would see me differently because the baby belongs to Eric.”Raymond reached for her hands. “I don't see you differently.”“You should.” Amanda sobbed.“No.” His vo

  • Apocalypse Reborn: My Family Begged But I Shut The Gates   Reason She Kept Him Away

    Later that evening, after the treatment had eased her symptoms and the hospital had completed its checks, Amanda was allowed to leave. She kept the prescription and follow-up instructions safely in her bag. Raymond helped her out of bed and supported her as they walked toward the waiting area. The moment they reached the chairs, he turned and wrapped his arms around her. Amanda stiffened in surprise before slowly holding him back. “You scared me,” he whispered against her hair. “I thought something terrible had happened.” “I'm sorry.” “Don't apologise. I'm just glad you're standing here.” He pulled back to look at her face. “Are you sure you can go home?” “The doctor says I can, as long as I take the medicine and come back for the follow-up tests.” “Then we'll make sure you do.” Amanda looked at him, and the words stirred something painful inside her. We'll. He said it as though he had a place in her future, as though he hadn't heard his father's objections or understood the r

    At the next turn, the hospital sign appeared through the rain. Raymond took the corner too quickly, corrected the wheel, and kept his eyes on the entrance ahead.“Hold on, Amanda,” he whispered.She didn't answer. Her hand slipped from her stomach and fell against the seat. Raymond looked over, saw her still breathing, and pressed harder on the accelerator as the hospital lights grew nearer.When he finally reached the emergency entrance, he braked hard and jumped out before the car had fully settled. He ran around to Amanda's side, pulled open the door, and called desperately for help."Please! Somebody help me!”Two hospital workers hurried toward him with a wheelchair. Raymond tried to explain that Amanda was in terrible pain, but he had no answers when they asked what had happened.They helped her out of the car, and Amanda cried out again, grabbing Raymond's hand so tightly that her nails dug into his skin.“Don't leave me,” she begged.“I won't,” he answered immediately.A nurse

  • Apocalypse Reborn: My Family Begged But I Shut The Gates   Damages

    “Wait.”Everyone turned toward him.“What now?” Butcher demanded.Ghost looked at the bags, then toward the fortress. Rain hammered the vehicle’s roof.“I just remembered something. The man who gave us this job told us to destroy some of her things, didn't he?”Darius frowned. “What are you talking about?”“We were supposed to steal what we could and damage the property. We took the supplies, but barely touched anything else.”“Damn it,” Butcher muttered. “He's right.”Viper looked through the windshield. “We've ransacked the place and taken major supplies. Isn't that enough?”“No,” Darius said. “If our employer wanted us to steal a few boxes, he could have sent anybody. He paid us to make a mess, too.”Tank glanced at the bags. “So we're going back?”“We finish the job, then we leave.”Viper sighed and turned the vehicle around.When they reached the fortress again, the rain had grown heavier. Wind drove water across the grounds, and the gate swung on its damaged hinges with a deep m
