Scarlett drove back to her apartment and stumbled right onto her couch. She lay there face-first for a few minutes, thinking about her day.

She had never met someone who was so eager to help her like Richard was.

The orphanages and foster care treated her more like a responsibility. And that was still leagues better than what her own husband did to her.

It had been so long since someone decided to help her without expecting anything in return. A single tear slid down her face before she could

  • Reborn 60 Days Before The Apocalypse   Chapter 20

    When the workout was over, Scarlett had made her decision. She was increasing her daily training from two to three hours.If she would do one hour by herself in the morning, then she could do an afternoon or evening session with Ryan.It would be grueling on her body as she never did any form of workouts before besides power walking but she would endure it, so that she could somewhat rest easy once the apocalypse arrived.“Ryan, would you be able to come an hour earlier tomorrow?”His lips tugged down in a small frown. This was the way a lot of his other clients started before they started to pile on their even more unreasonable requests.Someone had even asked him once to pretend to be her husband and child’s father for a family photo. Another had tried to trick him into signing a marriage certificate.Sometimes, he wondered why he was still a personal trainer after all the things he had been through.Scarlett did not know what was going through Ryan’s mind and the fact that he was a

    When Scarlett came out of her bedroom, the first thing she noticed was that Ryan actually did not seem dressed like a fitness trainer.He was in a casual button up T-shirt and office trousers, unlike the muscle shirt and shorts that he wore in his videos.Actually, he was a surgeon by profession and fitness was simply his hobby. He had built the fitness studio as a side hustle for himself and had not expected it to take off as much as it did.Despite her questions, Scarlett did not pry, assuming that he had his reasons for what he chose to wear. She simply rolled out her training mat and stood on it, hands akimbo. “So when do we start?”Over the years, Ryan had met many overly enthusiastic women who showed an interest in fitness because of him. Their feelings had crossed beyond the bounds of professionalism but he never cared for any of them.When he had heard that someone had been willing to pay three thousand dollars for one session and had gone ahead to pay for thirty upfront, he a

    While this was happening back at the Miles house, Scarlett was back in her apartment, following a workout video, playing on her smart TV.The instructor in the video, Ryan, was a handsome, muscular man with an impressive physique. What was most enticing about him was how truly dedicated he was to fitness.After two long hours of practice, Scarlett had only mastered the basic movements.She could not help but feel discouraged as her body was not cooperating with her. Ryan made it look so easy so why could she not get the movements right?As the video came to an end, Scarlett noticed Ryan’s contact information at the bottom of the screen. An idea crossed her mind instantly.She had more money than she needed at the moment. Rather than learning from videos, she could pay for private one-on-one training with Ryan. That way, she could receive immediate feedback and improve much faster.She was already on a time crunch as the sixty days to the apocalypse were slowly ticking away. In her pre

    Jake was sitting on the floor of his bedroom, staring at the wall when Janet found him.He had been in that position since Thomas ended the call. Janet rushed to her son’s side and lifted his head so he could look her in the eyes. “What’s wrong? I heard you shouting. Are you alright?”Jake slowly turned to his mother.She had been going around telling everyone in the neighborhood that they would soon be moving into a bigger and better house.Now that Jake had no choice but to withdraw the lawsuit, everything she had bragged about had become nothing more than empty promises.But that was not even the matter at hand.Jake showed her the screen of his laptop. The termination notice that his company had sent him just minutes after he had gotten off the phone with Thomas.Janet saw it and her eyes widened as she read the headline. As she continued reading, specifically to the part where it cited the reason behind the termination, the scandal with Rachel, her eyes lit up with fury.“That wo

    “I will get back to gathering more evidence,” Thomas said. “There is still quite a bit that can change the trajectory of the case.”Jake was not really listening anymore. For him, the case was practically in the bag.“You need to push for a date for the court hearing as soon as possible,” he said.He reasoned that the sooner the hearing was done, the sooner he was going to get his hands on his money.“Okay, I will see what I can do. Just give me a bit of time to gather all that we need,” Thomas said. They exchanged their goodbyes and ended the call.Jake hunched over and let out a small sigh. Despite everything, he could not stop thinking about Scarlett and what their relationship had been before the whole mess with Rachel.Truthfully, he had fallen out of love with Rachel long ago and only kept her around out of obligation.Besides, what had attracted him to Rachel in the first place was the image of a young, wealthy woman and Rachel lost that the moment she left her parents’ house.

    Twenty million dollars. Twenty million dollars?!Jake could barely breathe as he thought of the number of zeros that was.To think that he had been planning to withdraw the lawsuit. The words were caught in his throat.Thomas continued, unaware of the inner turmoil that Jake was experiencing. “From what we've found, Scarlett inherited the money.”Inherited? From who?Scarlett did not have any family as far as he knew. Or maybe she did have family and she did not tell him so she would not share her wealth.It was likely that she had inherited the inheritance long ago and was sitting on it until she wanted to push for the divorce.The thought of the fortune under her name clouded his judgment, erasing all thoughts of reconciliation from his head. What was the point of reconciling and repairing their marriage when twenty million dollars was at stake?The money was all he could think about.Jake cleared his throat as he regained his composure. “How are we going to prove I have a claim to
