Scarlett looked up at Jake slowly, not the slightest bit bothered by his outburst.

If anything, it looked ridiculous to her so she went ahead and snorted. “You overestimate yourself.”

Those simple words nearly drove Jake insane with fury. “This is how you want to fight?” he snapped. “By playing dirty?!”

“You insisted on splitting our marital assets, I have no objection.” Her head tilted. “Now, you are telling me that I am playing dirty. You brought this up in the first place.”

In a way, Scarlet

    Scarlett stared at the number until it rang out. A text came in the next moment.Where is the woman? We were supposed to meet an hour ago!Scarlett scrolled through the former chats and was able to confirm that the person was from the gang in Maplewood Avenue.Whether it was the boss himself, Scarlett could not be sure.It made sense how they knew her by name. They still did not want to leave her alone after everything.Leon got to tying Lee up, hands and feet tightly bound so that the man could not move. He then knocked him out and put him inside the closet.Then, he came out and sat down beside Scarlett, stripping his jacket to put around her shoulders. “What are you planning to do now?”Scarlett’s fist tightened around the phone, so hard that the screen cracked. “I need to go and see where this place is.”Leon’s brow raised. “You want to go to see the people that want you dead?”Scarlett looked down at his bandaged shoulder and rubbed her forehead, thinking of what to do. She could

    Leon watched them silently as they moved around the apartment, turning everything over to look for Scarlett.Intense anger swirled in his chest but he did not move yet. His finger tightened around the gun so he would not miss when they came into his line of sight again.“Vic, look at these walls. There is something off about them,” one of the men said, drumming his hand against the wall. “It feels thicker than the walls downstairs.”Vic felt the walls and clicked his tongue.“They must have used better materials for the top floors. Even the doors were a headache to break into.”The man who had spoken remained against the wall regardless. He lifted his gun and tapped the wall surface. “It feels like steel,” he muttered.Scarlett looked down at the wall beside her. The reinforcements were only obvious from inside the base.She was not sure if the fortress's strength would reflect inside the house but now, they had helped her to confirm that it did.Perhaps, the person who was speaking k

    Nica expected to be dead.After all, they were on the top floor. There was no way she would jump and survive the fall to the bottom.However, no sooner had she jumped did her feet touch dry ground. Slowly, she opened her eyes and her lips parted in a soft gasp as she looked around.“What the…where are we?”“I will explain later,” Scarlett said and started to pull her so they could hide beside the wall.Nica remained silent, not fully understanding what was happening but she listened to Scarlett.A moment later, more men burst into the room, looking around.“Where the hell are they?! They killed the boss!”Scarlett peeked up through the window, counting the men in her house. Six of them.Nica said there were six more. If she was going to handle them, she needed to do it quickly so she would not still be caught in a battle when their back-up arrived.Leon’s hand closed over the gun. “Scarlett, let me do it.”Scarlett remembered then that he was in the special forces in the army. Even if

    This was the third time that Scarlett had seen her, once at the door and the second time watching her in the garage. “Is he dead?” the girl asked, raising her pole again. Scarlett looked down at the blood pooling out from his fractured skull. “No one would survive that blood loss,” Scarlett said. “But you can hit him again for good measure.” The words were barely out of Scarlett’s lips when the girl started to batter his body. By the time she had let out all of her anger, the man was practically unrecognizable. When she was done, the pole fell from her hand and clattered to the ground. The girl’s knees buckled and before she could fall, Scarlett caught her. “What is your name?” Scarlett asked, holding the trembling girl. “Nica,” she whispered. “Thank you. Thank you so much for killing them. We were going to be sold tomorrow.” Nica burst into tears in Scarlett’s arms, repeating thank you over and over. Scarlett helped her into the apartment, letting her cry. “Leon! Leon!

    Marcus opened his mouth to ask what she was trying to build and caught himself at the last minute.He nearly committed a rookie mistake: digging into the dealings of his clients. It was not his business what she wanted, as long as she paid.“How much of it do you need?”“As much as you can find,” Scarlett said and then paused. How was she going to pay for it?She had spent all of her real money on resources preparing for the apocalypse. Society had come back to dealing with cash again.She might have to find a way to make money before she thinks of continuing with her plans to build houses inside her base.“How much will it cost?” Scarlett asked slowly.Marcus blinked. Did she not have the money? So where was she getting her food from?“I’m not sure. A couple thousand maybe. I would have to really check to see if I can find someone…” Marcus trailed off, reading the look in her eyes.She must have spent all of her money on supplies because of the apocalypse. That said, she still had so

    Lily skipped ahead of Scarlett and Leon on the beach. Her excited laugh that filled the air made the two adults smile.Lily was a very happy child normally but Scarlett had never heard her laugh like that.“Do you have to be so stubborn all the time?” Scarlett asked.Leon frowned at her words, his gaze darting to hers. She was staring up at the night sky with a serene expression on her face.“What do you mean by that?” he asked her, his voice level.Even now, he was still uncomfortable with being inside her base. This was supposed to be a paradise for her and as much as he would like to enjoy the safety of such a place, he did not want to impose.Scarlett pursed her lips. “Leon, you must realize that you are in a more unfavorable place than most people during an apocalypse. You have someone who is depending on you for their survival.”Both their eyes fixed on Lily.Leon hummed. “I know that. What are you trying to say?”“I am trying to say that as much as you do not want help from any
