Chapter Twenty – A Stranger

Octavia’s POV

I stepped outside the mansion and continued walking.

I didn’t know where I was going.

I had no destination, no place to stay, and no idea what I would do next. All I knew was that I wanted to get as far away from that mansion as possible.

I tightened my grip on the strap of my bag and kept walking.

I didn’t look back.

If I turned around, I might start thinking about everything I had left behind. The room I had slept in, the man I had married, and the m

  • The Apocalypse Made Me A Monster   Misunderstood

    CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE – MisunderstoodOctavia’s POVI was sitting in the parlour with the Commander and Vanessa, trying to enjoy the quiet afternoon even though my mind was far from the conversation they were having.Since Vanessa had shown me my mother’s necklace, I had barely been able to think about anything else. I kept remembering the way she held it in front of me and threatened to burn it if I refused to leave the mansion.I couldn’t allow that to happen.It was the last thing my mother had given me, and I wasn’t ready to lose it.However, I didn’t know how I could get it back without doing what Vanessa wanted. I had no money to buy it from her, and leaving the mansion would only make things worse for me.I was still thinking about it when the Commander spoke.“There’s an auction coming up in a few days. Some important people from different settlements will be attending, and there are several valuable items expected to be sold.”Vanessa, who had been sitting comfortably beside him

  • The Apocalypse Made Me A Monster   The Last Thing

    CHAPTER THIRTY – THE LAST THING MY MOTHER LEFT MEOctavia’s POVI sat quietly in the parlour, one hand resting on my stomach.The doctor had examined me earlier and assured me that everything was fine. I was still thinking about the baby and everything that had happened since I discovered I was pregnant.I hadn’t made a final decision yet.The Commander wanted me to keep the baby, but I wasn’t sure I could handle the responsibility. I had only just returned to the mansion, and I still didn’t know what my future would look like.I sighed and leaned back against the sofa.Just then, the door opened.I turned my head, expecting to see one of the maids, but my expression changed when I saw who had entered.Vanessa.She walked inside without knocking, closing the door behind her.I frowned.“Don’t you know it’s common courtesy to knock before entering?”She looked at me from head to toe and scoffed.“You’re not someone I need to show courtesy to.”I shook my head.“What do you want, Vaness

  • The Apocalypse Made Me A Monster   You Have No Right

    Chapter Twenty-Nine: You Have No RightOctavia’s POVThe moment Asher left, I turned towards the Commander.I had too many questions, and I wasn’t going to pretend I hadn’t noticed the hostility between them.“Who is he?”The Commander glanced at me. “Who?”“Asher. Who is he, and why do you two seem to hate each other?”His expression hardened.“That’s none of your concern.”I frowned. “How can you say that? He helped me when you sent me out of this mansion. He was the one who saved me when monsters attacked me. So, you have no right to question me about knowing him.”The Commander’s eyes narrowed.“Watch your tone, Octavia.”“Why? Did I say something wrong?”“Don’t dare me, Octavia.”I let out a short, humourless laugh.“What do you want to do? Beat me? Shout at me? Or perhaps tell Vanessa so she can come up with another story about how I offended her?”His expression changed.I knew I was pushing him, but I was tired of being careful around him.He had allowed Vanessa to humiliate m

  • The Apocalypse Made Me A Monster   An Unexpected Visitor

    Chapter Twenty Eight: An Unexpected VisitorOctavia’s POVI woke up the next morning feeling a little better.After everything that had happened the previous day, I needed some rest. I spent a few minutes lying in bed before finally getting up.I was hungry, so I decided to go to the kitchen and get something to eat. I had barely reached the staircase when I heard voices coming from the living room.They sounded like two men arguing.“You really can’t be back here now.”I stopped walking.“I am back. And we both have a right to that position. If you think I’m going to let you have it without a fight, you’re mistaken.”“Don’t try your luck, Asher. Don’t push it too far.”A cold laugh followed.“I already have. Let’s see what you’re going to do about it.”I frowned.That voice sounded familiar.I slowly walked towards the living room, wondering who could be arguing with the Commander so early in the morning.But the moment I stepped inside, I froze.Asher?What was he doing here?He was

  • The Apocalypse Made Me A Monster   The Woman Of The House

    Chapter Twenty-SevenThe Woman of the HouseThe journey back to the mansion was quiet.I sat beside the Commander, staring out of the window. I still hadn’t fully processed everything that had happened at the medical centre. One moment, I was about to lose my baby. The next, the Commander had appeared and stopped everything.Now, I was returning to the same mansion I had walked away from.When the vehicle finally drove through the gates, I felt a strange tightness in my chest.The guards opened the car door, and the Commander stepped out first. He turned towards me and offered his hand.I hesitated before taking it.His hand settled around mine as he helped me out of the vehicle.A few staff members standing nearby exchanged surprised looks. They were probably wondering why their Commander was helping someone they had always known as a maid.Before I could take another step, Vanessa appeared at the entrance.“Welcome back!” she said cheerfully, walking towards him.However, her smile

  • The Apocalypse Made Me A Monster   I Am Sorry

    Chapter Twenty Six -Octavia’s POVThe Commander carried me all the way to his vehicle.“Put me down!” I demanded, struggling in his arms.He ignored me and opened the passenger door. He placed me inside and closed it before I could get out.I immediately reached for the door handle.But before I could open it, he entered the driver’s seat and locked the doors.“Open the door!” I snapped.“Octavia, we need to talk.”“I have nothing to say to you. Take me back to the medical centre.”He turned towards me. “Please, keep that child.”I froze.For a moment, I thought I had heard him wrongly. “What?”“Please keep the baby.”I stared at him, unable to understand the sudden change in his voice.The Commander had never begged me for anything before. Yet here he was, looking at me with an expression I couldn’t quite understand.“I can’t,” I whispered.“Why?”“Because I’m not ready.”“We can work something out. You don’t have to worry about anything. I’ll take care of you and the baby.”I looke
