My Apocalyptic survival: Reborn to make my ex beg! Chapter 9: The Last Days
The headline appeared while I was checking the list of supplies on my tablet.BREAKING NEWS: LOS ANGELES TO ENTER EMERGENCY LOCKDOWN ON MONDAY FOLLOWING REPORTS OF MUTANT HUMANS.I read it twice before setting the tablet down.The authorities had finally decided to act.According to the news report, several patients infected with the mysterious virus had displayed unusual aggression and alarming physical changes. Hospitals were struggling to manage the increasing number of cases, while emergency services investigated reports of violent attacks in public places.Officials were urging residents to remain indoors and avoid unnecessary travel once the lockdown began.The presenter maintained a professional expression, but the concern in her voice was unmistakable.“Authorities emphasize that the situation remains under investigation. Residents are advised to follow official instructions and avoid spreading unverified reports concerning the infected.” I switched off the sound.There was no

“Again, Elliot.” I exhaled sharply.The rifle rested against my shoulder, its weight unfamiliar but no longer unbearable. I stood on the designated firing line at the private training facility Mr. Bennett had arranged, wearing a fitted black shirt, cargo trousers, and sturdy boots.My instructor, Marcus, stood several feet away, watching me with the patience of a man who had already regretted agreeing to train a wealthy woman on such short notice.“You're thinking too much,” he said.“I'm thinking about the fact that the world might end in a few days, and I'm standing here trying to learn something I should have learned years ago.”“Panic won't help you.”“Neither will repeating the obvious.” He raised an eyebrow as I almost smiled.The old Elliot would have apologized for her tone. She would have worried about offending him, about appearing difficult, about what people might think of a woman who didn't know how to handle a weapon.I didn't have the luxury of worrying about any of th
My Apocalyptic survival: Reborn to make my ex beg! Chapter 7: He Wants My Daughter
“Your husband is suing for full custody of Lily.”For a moment, I thought I had heard Mr. Bennett incorrectly.I lowered the document I was reading and stared at him across my office desk.“What did you just say?”Mr. Bennett adjusted his glasses. “Edward has instructed his lawyers to initiate custody proceedings. He intends to petition the court for full custody of your daughter.” A cold laugh escaped me.Edward wanted Lily?The same man who barely spent ten minutes with his daughter unless someone was watching? The man who considered her an inconvenience whenever she interrupted his meetings with Claire?Now he wanted full custody.How convenient.“On what grounds?” I asked.“He intends to argue that your recent behavior has been erratic, that your excessive spending demonstrates poor judgment and that your decisions have made you an unsuitable parent.” I slowly placed the document on the desk.My preparations for the apocalypse.Apparently, Edward had decided that if he couldn't co

Elliot’s POVThe first truck arrived at six in the morning.By seven, four more had followed, their cargo filling the entrance to the mountain base. I stood near the entrance, watching them work with a checklist in my hand.For the first time since my rebirth, I was making progress.The place that had once been an abandoned military bunker was finally beginning to look like somewhere my daughter and I could survive.“Mrs. Elliot, everything on your list has arrived,” Mr. Bennett said as he approached me. “The workers are arranging the supplies according to your instructions.”“Good. Make sure they check every item before signing the delivery documents. I don't want to discover missing supplies when it's too late to replace them.”“I'll handle that.”I glanced toward the storage chamber. The shelves were filling quickly, the freezers had already been installed. The water filtration equipment was undergoing its initial inspection, while technicians worked on the backup generators.It wa
My Apocalyptic survival: Reborn to make my ex beg! Chapter Five: The Mountain Base
The drive to Mount San Antonio, the base took nearly three hours.We left Los Angeles before sunrise, winding through mountain roads that grew narrower and steeper with each mile. Mr. Bennett sat in the passenger seat, a folder of ownership documents on his lap, while I drove in silence.The city disappeared behind us, replaced by pine forests and rocky cliffs. The air grew thinner, cleaner. I rolled down the window and breathed deeply.In my previous life, I had never made it this far. The roads had been blocked by then, choked with abandoned cars and desperate survivors."Mrs. Elliot," Mr. Bennett said, breaking the silence. "I've reviewed the documents thoroughly. Everything is in order. The transfer is complete.""I know.""Then why are we driving three hours to sign papers that could have been signed in your office?"I glanced at him. "Because I need to see it." He nodded and said nothing more.We turned onto an unmarked gravel road, climbing higher into the mountains. The trees
My Apocalyptic survival: Reborn to make my ex beg! Chapter Four: The Last Normal Day
The morning after Edward's eviction notice, I woke before dawn with a single thought burning in my mind: eleven days.I dressed quickly, pulled my hair back, and headed downstairs. The mansion felt different now quieter, emptier. Edward had taken Claire and his grandmother to a hotel the previous evening, spewing threats about lawyers and revenge. I hadn't bothered responding. Their words meant nothing compared to what was coming.Mrs. Adler, my housekeeper met me in the kitchen with a cup of coffee."You're up early, ma'am.""I have a long day ahead. Is the car ready?""Yes, ma'am."I took the coffee and headed outside. The driver already had the engine running. I slid into the back seat and opened my tablet, reviewing the supply list I had compiled the night before.Dry foods, Medications, Water purification tablets, Sanitizer. Batteries, Flashlights, Radios, Generators, Fuel, Solar panels, Weapons, Ammunition and vaccines.That last item was the most difficult. In my previous life,
