All Chapters of Reborn 60 Days Before The Apocalypse: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The next thing that happened was beyond surreal, especially for Scarlett. As the bullets flew through the air in straight lines, the closer they got to Scarlett, the more they seemed to slow down. Scarlett looked around her. It was not just the bullets. She was seeing everything in slow motions. In this dreary place, her eyes fixed on a butterfly trying to head towards the glass doors. She could see each flap of the wings and the patterns on the body. One of the men had fired his gun in quick succession so she could even see the bullets leaving the barrel one after the other. This was another one of her physical enhancements after coming back in time. Scarlett closed her eyes, letting her senses feel the world around her. Unknown to her, all these things were happening in a fraction of a second. When the store owner and his friends saw this, they thought she had accepted her fate. They even started to feel a little regretful that such a beautiful woman was about to become a lifel

“Why have you been rejecting my training appointments?” Helen demanded angrily, her hands on her waist as she blocked the door of the apartment. All her calls and texts have gone unanswered for the past two weeks. If she had not spotted him entering this building as she was driving past, he would have ignored her forever. Ryan rubbed his forehead, troubled. He knew how to handle this but he really hated dealing with Helen. Before Scarlett purchased his training packages, Helen had been Ryan's biggest client. She was a thirty eight year woman but she maintained her physique so well that she only looked like she was in her later twenties. Her husband was a wealthy businessman who traveled around the world all the time for work. So over the ten years of their marriage, because he was never home, their passion had long disappeared. It did not help that Helen knew that her husband had different lovers in the countries that he frequented. It used to bother her so much, even drive

“What the hell did you do? You offended the landlord of the building the company rents out for work!”Elian had gotten countless reports about his wife over the years but he never really minded because none of them touched his company. How had she even entangled herself with such a high profile figure and spoken with them long enough to offend them so badly?“Elian, I don't know what you are talking about,” Helen whispered. “How would I even know the landlord?”“I should be asking you that!” he barked. “You have been trying to seduce her fitness coach too. Do you know how much damage this would bring to my reputation?”Helen's breath caught in her throat. She whirled around and met Scarlett’s cold, confident eyes.Helen had always heard of wealthy people who chose to live under the radar. What were the odds that she actually ran into someone like that and it had to be someone who had the power to ruin her husband's company with just a text message.Elian was fuming unlike she had ever

Ryan smiled, a plan coming together in his head. Under Jake’s furious gaze, he lowered his head and kissed the tip of Scarlett’s ear.It was a spot that he had learned the night before was a very sensitive spot on her body.Scarlett shivered involuntarily, her fingers clutching Ryan’s arm. The kind of desire that she felt for him was unfamiliar to her and she was still unsure of where this would lead with Ryan.“Weren’t you talking about wanting that newly released custom diamond necklace?” he said far too loudly so Jake could hear every word. “How about we go to the store and buy it later?”Scarlett was confused for a moment, turning around to look at Ryan’s teasing expression and then realization dawned on her. Yesterday, she had helped him get rid of Helen. Now, he was helping her with Jake.However, if she was not cooperative, his plan would not work out very well so Scarlett followed his lead.“I cannot believe you remembered. Thank you, darling.” She pouted as best as she could

Scarlett woke up to sunlight beating down on her face.Her lips instantly tugged upwards in a smile as she knew that it was Ryan who opened the windows because she had mentioned once that she loved waking up with the sunlight.As if on cue, the door opened and Ryan entered the room with a tray. The smell of the breakfast had Scarlett sighing in delight.This was her life now and she had gotten very used to being pampered like a princess. Under Ryan’s thoughtful care, Scarlett had almost forgotten the pressure of the approaching apocalypse.“Good morning,” he said, kissing her forehead. “I thought you might want a big breakfast after last night.”Since she was getting stronger practically round the clock, her appetite had seriously increased. She ate the food quickly while trying to savor each bite.Ryan watched her eat the entire meal with a smile before picking up her tray when she was finished. “Do you have to go out today?”Scarlett paused to think. There were quite a few things th
