Frozen Revenge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Maya told Daniel everything. They sat in the Blue Moon Bar as the last traces of impossible hail melted outside, and she laid bare the entire truth. The wedding. The betrayal. Ethan and Vanessa's affair. The drowning. The cold apocalypse that had killed billions. Waking up one month in the past with a chance to change everything. Daniel listened in silence, his face cycling through emotions—disbelief, horror, rage, and finally, grim determination. "February 14th," he said when she finished. "That's seven weeks from now." "Yes." "And you're sure?" "I lived through it, Daniel. Watched people freeze t

Maya couldn't sleep. She lay in bed staring at the ceiling, cycling through impossible questions. Could she let a baby die? Could she save Vanessa, knowing what she'd done? What if saving Vanessa meant condemning someone else who deserved shelter space more?Forty people. The shelter could hold forty people maximum. Every spot meant life or death.At 3 AM, Maya gave up on sleep and pulled out her laptop. If she was going to decide, she needed all the facts. Starting with the pregnancy timeline.Vanessa claimed eight weeks pregnant. Conceived in early November. With Ethan.But something nagged at Maya. Marcus and Vanessa had announced their business partnership before Ethan's arrest. They'd been photographed together, standing close, his hand on her back. That photo was dated November 10th.Maya pulled up everything on Vanessa's November movements. Social media. News articles. Credit card records.November 7th: Vanessa met Marcus at an upscale restaurant. Dinner lasted three hours.Nov

Maya sat across from Agent Sarah Morrison in a gray FBI interrogation room. Daniel had wanted to come, but she'd told him to stay away. Instead, he was on the phone, giving advice through an earpiece hidden beneath her hair."Just stay calm," Daniel whispered. "Answer questions without volunteering extra information."Agent Morrison was in her late forties, sharp-eyed, with a face that suggested she'd heard every lie and believed none. She slid a folder across the table."Miss Chen, do you know why you're here?""You mentioned my warehouse.""Your warehouse." Morrison opened the folder, revealing photos of the shelter. Detailed photos from inside. Someone had documented everything. "You purchased this property December 18th for $320,000 cash. Within five days, you converted the basement into a survival bunker. Industrial heating, water purification, food for forty people for three months. Care to explain why?""I'm preparing for an emergency.""What kind of emergency requires this lev

Maya stood in the warehouse at 9 AM on January 4th, staring at Catherine's contract spread across a supply crate. She had one hour to decide.Daniel leaned against the wall, arms crossed. "You've been staring at that for two days.""I know.""And?""And I hate every option." Maya picked up the contract, then set it down again. "If I accept, I'm working with the people who destroyed your father. If I refuse, Catherine sabotages the shelter and we save fewer people. Either way, I lose something.""Then choose the option where more people survive."Maya looked at him. "You're saying I should accept?""I'm saying the Harts are going to survive whether you help them or not. Catherine made that clear. She has resources, connections, contingency plans." Daniel moved closer. "So the question isn't whether the Harts survive. It's whether you maximize the number of other people who do.""By working with Catherine.""By using Catherine's resources to build a bigger, better shelter. Then when the

The Hart estate felt like a gilded cage. Maya stood in the guest room Catherine had assigned her—expensive furniture, silk sheets, a view of the gardens—and felt more trapped than she'd ever been in her original timeline.Daniel paced by the window. "We can't stay here.""Where else do we go? My apartment is surrounded. The warehouse is surrounded. Everywhere I go, people will follow." Maya sat on the edge of the bed. "At least here we have security.""Security controlled by Catherine Hart. The woman who tried to blackmail you." Daniel turned to face her. "You realize she's going to use this, right? You being here, dependent on her protection. She's going to leverage it."A knock at the door interrupted them. Jessica entered, looking stressed."My mother wants to see you. Downstairs. Now."Maya followed Jessica down the sweeping staircase to Catherine's study. The matriarch sat behind her desk, perfectly composed, with her attorney Richard Sloane standing beside her."Maya.
