REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 102: The Recording
POV: ALEXThe device should have been destroyed in the fight. Instead, it kept listening.The small matte-black cylinder sat in the center of the metal briefing table inside the subterranean comms room, its tiny red LED pulsing like a slow, artificial heartbeat. It was scuffed and smeared with dried mud from the lower drainage junction, but the casing was reinforced with military-grade titanium. It hadn't just survived the hand-to-hand fight in the dark, it had actively digitized every sound, every breath, and every frequency emitted within fifty yards of the assassin.Marcus plugged the unit into an isolated diagnostic tablet, bypassing the primary network to prevent any accidental signal leakage."The audio buffer is encrypted with an adaptive rolling cipher," Marcus said quietly, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the green waveform expanding across the tablet screen. "I'm running a local decryption pass now. Giving us playback over the internal speaker."Phina stood near the corner of th
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 101: After The Smoke
POV: PHINAThe attackers were gone, but the manor no longer felt like a fortress. It felt like a place that had already been marked.Gray dawn broke over the high ridge, casting a cold, pale light across the devastation of Highland Crest Manor. The howling blizzard had finally settled into a slow, rhythmic fall of heavy snow, dusting the pulverized stone of the eastern wall like ash over a grave. Smoke still drifted lazy and black from the blackened ceiling of the north service corridor, carrying the acrid stench of burnt insulation and chemical fire deep into the living quarters.One of our security guards was dead. Three more lay in the sub-basement medical bay under Edwin’s frantic care, their blood staining the emergency surgical cots.Alex spent the first hours of daylight down with the medical team, his face streaked with soot and dried blood, helping carry heavy equipment and securing the lower bulkheads. I left him to his work and walked the compromised perimeter accompanied b
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 100: What They Know
POV: ALEXI had the man pinned, but the look in his eyes told me the real damage had already been done.His breath came in wet, rattling hitches beneath my forearm. Even with his jaw fractured, his collarbone crushed, and my knee grinding his chest into the freezing concrete, the assassin didn't look like a defeated asset. He looked like a man who had successfully delivered a signal."Get Marcus down here," I growled over my shoulder, not lifting an inch of pressure from his windpipe. "Tell him to bring zip-ties and the heavy medical restraints."Phina stood five feet away, leaning heavily against the damp stone pillar. One arm was wrapped tightly around her midsection, her face ghostly pale in the amber glare of the single emergency strip overhead. A trickle of dark blood had dried beneath her right nostril, and her chest heaved in shallow, agonizing cycles. But her eyes, sharp, dark, and ice-cold, never left the dying man on the floor.Within three minutes, Marcus and two guards spr
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 99: No More Running
POV: PHINAI had spent months preparing to survive the end of the world. Tonight I was only trying to survive one man.The damp air of the lower drainage junction hung thick and heavy, smelling of ancient wet mortar and ozone. I stopped dead in the center of the four-way intersection, my boots planted firmly in the shallow, freezing stream of water trickling across the stone floor.I couldn't go any deeper. Past the southern archway lay the secondary access vents to Vault Three, where the medical teams and civilian workers were huddled in the dark. If I kept running, I would lead this apex predator straight to their threshold, turning their last refuge into a slaughterhouse.The chase ended here.A shadow detached itself from the narrow archway behind me. The intruder stepped out into the dim, amber glow of the single emergency battery light mounted to the vaulted ceiling. He moved with a horrifying, unhurried grace, his suppressed carbine lowered, his pale eyes gleaming behind his da
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 98: Thirty Seconds
POV: PHINAThirty seconds was not enough time to run. It was only enough time to choose how I would face him.The bright red digits of the thermite charge on the command room door pulsed against the steel surface, ticking downward with agonizing, merciless speed. Twenty-nine. Twenty-eight.I didn't hesitate. I slammed my palm against the emergency pneumatic release on the back wall of the command suite, sliding open the narrow, recessed steel panel that led into the unmapped service passage directly behind the server racks. The dark, cramped corridor smelled of cold concrete, ozone, and old iron, a forgotten artery running deep beneath the foundations of Highland Crest Manor.I slipped through the opening, letting the heavy spring-loaded hatch click silently shut behind me just as the countdown hit single digits.Three. Two. One.A brilliant, blinding flash of white-hot plasma tore through the titanium-composite door, followed instantly by a low, concussive roar that rattled my teeth.
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 97: The One Who Came for Me
POV: PHINAI had prepared for the army. I had not prepared for the single man who walked through the chaos as if he already knew every corridor.The heavy steel security door of the central command room slid shut with a deep, hydraulic thud, the automated deadbolts locking into place with a series of sharp, mechanical clicks. The room was bathed in the harsh, red-tinted glow of the emergency diagnostic panels. Outside, the sounds of distant gunfire and wind faded behind three inches of reinforced titanium-alloy composite, leaving only the sound of my own shallow, rapid breathing.I moved to the secure wall locker, unlocking it with my biometric thumbprint, and pulled out a heavy-caliber sidearm along with two spare magazines. I slammed a magazine home, racking the slide with a sharp, crisp snap, and checked the chamber.On the central wall monitor, the infrared security feed showed the solitary figure moving through the upper executive hallway.He didn't run. He didn't clear corners w
