Reborn Before The Apocalypse: They Left Me To Die Why Won’t I?
Evelyn's POVI looked at Owen, struggling to recognize the man who'd once promised that we would face every difficulty together.“I've been protecting what I have left,” I answered. “There's a difference.”“So Clara was right. You're leaving me.”“Why does Clara know what I'm thinking before you've bothered to ask?”“She's worried about us.”“She's been staying in our apartment, wearing my clothes and discussing our marriage with you. When did she become part of it?”Owen rubbed his forehead.“She's your best friend, Evelyn.”“She was supposed to be.”I remembered finding Clara in the dressing gown my aunt had given me. I'd been furious, but Owen had laughed and told me I was making a fuss over nothing. I'd apologized to Clara afterward, believing I'd been unreasonable.“Does she know about the six business advances?” I asked. “Does she know you've barely repaid any of them?”Owen glanced toward the window.“You told her.”“She knows I've been having a difficult time.”“I was the one
Reborn Before The Apocalypse: They Left Me To Die The Winning Bid
Evelyn's POVI'd barely slept after discovering Clara's name on Crestline's submission record. The payment demand was already with my attorney, and I'd forwarded the new records before bed. Clara was listed as my authorized representative, although I'd never given her permission to act for me.The auction manager called while I was having breakfast.“Mrs. Carter, Harbor Continuity Holdings has withdrawn from the Ridgeway auction.”I lowered my spoon. “Why?”“They haven't provided a reason we can disclose.”“What about their drainage claim?”“That hasn't changed. The auction will proceed under the conditions already disclosed, but the access dispute remains unresolved.”I thanked her and ended the call.Harbor Continuity had withdrawn just when I'd finally decided how much I could afford to risk. I wanted to celebrate, but the timing bothered me.I checked the sale information again. The recorded drainage access would remain, and whatever Harbor Continuity wanted beyond that was still
Reborn Before The Apocalypse: They Left Me To Die No More Chances
Evelyn's POV“Send me the documents first,” I told the auction manager. “I can't decide until my attorney sees them.”“We can forward the preliminary paperwork tonight. Our legal review isn't finished.”“That's fine. I'll wait.”I ended the call and found Adrian watching me beside my car.“Harbor Continuity wants more access to Ridgeway than the listing mentioned,” I said. “I don't even know which parts I could fence off.”“Then don't make an offer until you do.”I looked toward the depot. In my first life, families had survived the winter behind those walls. I remembered a little girl sleeping in her father's coat near the entrance. The building had saved them when nearly every other shelter failed.“I might have to walk away,” I said.Adrian glanced at me. “You can hate that decision and still make it.”He opened my car door, then stepped aside. I wanted to tell him how much his company had helped that afternoon, but I was afraid I'd say more than I intended.The auction manager's d
Reborn Before The Apocalypse: They Left Me To Die Chapter 7: My Husband's Permission
Evelyn's POV“You did what?”Owen slipped his phone into his pocket. “I called the auction manager. Someone had to put a stop to this nonsense.”“You had no right to interfere with my purchase.”“I'm your husband, Evelyn. You can't throw thousands of dollars into a rundown warehouse and expect me to say nothing.”I stared at him. This was the same man who had borrowed money from me six times for his business. Now he wanted to decide how I spent what remained.“What exactly did you tell her?”“That there's a dispute over the money you're using and that you haven't obtained my permission.”“You mean you told her I need your permission to spend my own money?”“Call it whatever you like. No sensible seller wants trouble over a property.”I took out my phone, and Owen immediately demanded to know whom I was calling.“The auction manager,” I answered.“It's nearly eight. She won't answer.”“Then I'll leave a message.”He reached for my wrist, but I stepped away before he could touch me.“Do
Reborn Before The Apocalypse: They Left Me To Die My Husband Has Other Plans
Evelyn's POV“Is there something you know about those places that you haven't told me?”I tightened my grip on the phone. Adrian had asked a reasonable question, but the truth would only make him question my sanity.“You showed me Ridgeway's drainage drawings,” I reminded him. “When you mentioned the sealed door at Northline, I wondered whether the underground structures might be connected.”“They're some distance apart. I was surprised you thought there might be a connection.”“I've been studying flood maps and evacuation routes. Maybe I'm seeing problems where there aren't any.”Adrian was quiet for a moment. I could hear traffic behind him.“I'm sorry, Evelyn. I shouldn't have made you feel like you were being questioned.”I had already been preparing to defend myself. When he apologized instead, I didn't know what to say. Owen could turn an argument around until I was the one begging him to stop being angry.“It's all right,” I said. “Are you still at Northline?”“I'm heading home.
Reborn Before The Apocalypse: They Left Me To Die The Future Is Changing
Evelyn's POV“Your money?” I asked Owen. “Since when did the money in my personal account become yours?”“That's not what I meant. You're refusing to support my business, but you're exchanging messages with a man you just met.”“Adrian sent photographs of a damaged building. You saw them.”“Then why won't you show me the rest of your messages?”“Because I shouldn't have to surrender my phone whenever you're suspicious.”Owen folded his arms. “Clara thinks you're hiding something.”“Why does Clara have a say in every disagreement between us?”“She's worried about you.”“Then tell her to stay out of our marriage.”He walked away, leaving me with the auction documents.The following morning, my supervisor called me over at the municipal logistics office.“The hospital needs those cooling units today. Can you arrange a partial delivery?”The carrier had reassigned two trucks, and demand had increased across several states. I contacted the depot manager and arranged for the available units
