REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 14: The Future Is Moving
POV: PHINAThe most dangerous thing about my second chance was that the future was no longer following the script I remembered.I sat in the cold, blue light of the subterranean command center beneath Highland Crest Manor, surrounded by printouts, satellite radar feeds, and my leather-bound survival logbook. On the left screen was the precise timeline of events from my first life, the neat, predictable sequence of disasters that had led to the global freeze. On the right was the live meteorological data updating every thirty seconds.They were completely out of sync.A severe cold-air intrusion that wasn't supposed to manifest until late November was already sweeping down through the northern corridor. Oceanic surface temperatures in the Atlantic were plummeting at three times the speed I remembered, and localized power grid fluctuations were already being reported in rural counties.My presence in this timeline had altered the butterfly effect. My aggressive acquisition of heavy equi
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 13: The House Beneath The House
POV: PHINAThe workers discovered a sealed chamber beneath Highland Crest Manor that wasn’t recorded on any modern property plan.I stood at the bottom of the basement stairs, staring into a newly excavated trench in the concrete floor. The construction crew had been drilling through the foundation of the old east wing to lay high-voltage electrical conduits for our new generator array. But instead of striking solid bedrock, their heavy drills had punched straight into a subterranean wall made of reinforced cold-rolled steel.Edwin held an industrial spotlight over the opening, illuminating a massive, rusted vault door embedded deep inside the earth. A mechanical wheel handle sat in the center, locked behind a heavy keyhole mechanism."We stopped drilling immediately, Miss Phina," the lead engineer said, wiping grease and dust from his forehead. "This isn't part of the blueprinted foundation. It sits nearly twenty feet below the manor’s original basement floor."I immediately dialed A
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 12: Harrison’s Suspicions
POV: HARRISONI had never cared where Phina went, what she did, or who she spent her time with. For five years, she had been a shadow in my home, a quiet, predictable woman who lived entirely for my approval. She was kind of wife who would wait up late just to take my jacket, cook meals I barely touched, and swallow her own feelings whenever I prioritized Vera. I had always owned her.So when I sat at my desk inside the top-floor executive suite of Bennet Holdings, staring at an empty chair across from me, a deep, bitter rage burned in my throat.She was building a life I could not control.The woman who used to cry if I raised my voice now hung up on me without hesitation. She didn't return to the Bennet mansion. She ignored my official legal notices. She had stripped our joint accounts, hidden her money behind corporate walls, and hired a team of high-priced lawyers who treated my legal team like amateur children.A quiet knock echoed at the door, and Vera walked in. She was wearing
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 11: Someone Is Watching Me
POV: PHINAThe stranger parked outside my secondary distribution warehouse wasn’t attempting to break in, nor was the person stealing my supplies, he or she was counting them.Standing in the darkened observation loft of the fuel depot ten miles outside the city, I stared through a pair of long-range night-vision binoculars. Down on the rain-slicked gravel shoulder, a dark grey SUV sat with its engine idling. The driver's side window was cracked open just an inch, the long telephoto lens of a high-end camera resting against the glass, quietly snapping photos of every semi-truck hauling insulated fuel bladders into our underground storage bays.Edwin stepped up beside me, his tread silent on the steel catwalk. "I ran the plates through our contact at the DMV, Miss Phina. They're cloned tags belonging to a scrapped sedan in New Jersey. Furthermore, our logistics team spotted this exact same vehicle stationed near two separate medical equipment suppliers in Connecticut yesterday, both co
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 10: The Countdown Tightens
POV: PHINAHarrison knew there was money, a staggering, multi-billion-dollar fortune sitting in the dormant Hastings master trust. But his greedy, short-sighted mind couldn't comprehend the true scope of what I was doing. He thought I was hoarding cash for a lavish post-divorce lifestyle, completely oblivious to the fact that I was building an underground fortress to survive the collapse of human civilization."My grandfather's estate is none of your business, Harrison," I said into the phone, my voice dropping into an icy, unyielding register."It is my business, Phina!" Harrison snarled through the receiver, his arrogant facade completely fracturing. "We are legally married. Under state law, any assets unlocked during our marriage are subject to division. If you think you can just hide billions of dollars in a web of offshore trusts, file for divorce, and walk away from me, you're delusional. I will contest every single filing. I will freeze every account you touch until you don't h
REBORN BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE: MY EX BEGS FOR MERCY Chapter 9: I Will Never Be Helpless Again
POV: PHINAThe fading echo of a tiny, fluttering heartbeat was the last thing I heard before I woke up screaming.I jolted upright in bed, my chest heaving, cold sweat soaking through my shirt. My hands instinctively slammed against my flat abdomen, fingers digging into the fabric as if I could somehow feel the ghostly movement of my seven-month pregnancy. But there was only my smooth, empty skin.The nightmare receded slowly, leaving behind the agonizing clarity of that icy helipad. I could still feel the raw bite of the sub-zero wind cutting through my skin. I could still see Harrison’s impassive face as he shoved me onto the frozen roof. I could still hear Vera’s sweet, venomous voice mocking my dying baby while wearing my stolen mink coat. I had bled, starved, and begged on my knees, and my reward had been a death sentence in the snow.A tear slipped down my cheek, burning hot against my freezing skin. I wiped it away violently, my fingers trembling with a lethal, suffocating rage
