The Price of My Life

Evelyn's POV“If you love me, Owen, tell them to take these things off my wrists.”The guard held me against the truck while my husband watched from the loading office. I had been promised a place beside him at Meridian Enclave.I had washed my only decent shirt that morning and packed our wedding photograph in a cloth bag. Now a plastic restraint cut into my skin, and nobody would tell me why I was the only one leaving.“Owen, please. You said we were going together.” He came closer but stopped beyond my reach.“Meridian wants to examine you,” he said. “The settlement gets thirty days of food and medicine. You know what our stores look like.”“You told me we'd have a room there. You told me I could sleep in a bed again.”“I needed you to come to the gate without making trouble.”I looked past him at the crates being carried into our storeroom. Two children were already waiting beside the door for their first proper meal in days. I'd helped feed those children through the winter.I un

Ninety Days Before the End

Evelyn's POV“The man outside told me everyone else who received that injection died,” I told the doctor. “Is that true?”Dr. Mara Sloane sat across from me with my clinic records on her screen. She looked tired, and there was a faint stain on the sleeve of her white coat. She studied the information before answering.“The records show that you received an experimental compound after the eastern flood. Several other patients were given the same compound, but I haven't been able to verify what happened to all of them.”“Then why did that man tell me they were dead?”“I don't know what information he was given,” Mara replied. “I'm still trying to establish who authorized the injections and why your medical records were transferred here.”“The nurse said it was to prevent infection,” I told her. “She never said I was being used for an experiment.”“I can't speak for what happened at the clinic. Your records show a response we haven't been able to explain.”“I don't want anything else inj

I Won’t Save You Again

Evelyn's POV“You gave Clara a key to our apartment?”Owen was having breakfast when I entered the kitchen. Clara's handbag sat on a chair, with her shoes beneath it. Beside the handbag lay a spare key attached to Owen's blue keyring.“She stayed because it was late,” he replied. “You were already asleep.”“Then why didn't you tell me she was here?”“Because I knew you'd make a scene.”Clara came out of the guest room wearing my dressing gown. She smiled when she saw me.“I spilled something on my clothes last night,” she explained. “Owen said you wouldn't mind.”“That gown was a gift from my aunt. Why didn't you go home after changing?”“It was nearly midnight. Owen didn't want me travelling alone.”“Then he could have called you a taxi.”Clara looked at Owen, who set down his cup.“She's our friend, Evelyn. Do you have to embarrass her over a piece of clothing?”I remembered Owen holding Clara outside the settlement gate while the guards dragged me toward Meridian's truck. He'd refu

The Shelter Someone Stole

Evelyn's POV“Are you planning to divorce me?” Owen demanded, holding my phone in front of me.“I booked an appointment to understand my financial position,” I replied. “You still haven't explained where the money I lent your business went.”“So you think I'm stealing from you?”“I didn't say that. I asked you for the records, and you haven't provided them.”He put my phone on the table. “Clara was right. You've changed, Evelyn.”I wanted to ask why Clara had become the person he consulted about every disagreement in our marriage, but I was tired of hearing him defend her. I picked up my phone and returned to the flood maps on my laptop.The following morning, Owen found the Ridgeway Depot listing open while I was preparing breakfast.“You're going to spend our money on a warehouse?” he asked.“I haven't bought anything. Ridgeway is one of several properties I'm considering, and I'd be using my own savings.”“You wouldn't finance Westhaven, but you'll throw money at an abandoned depot

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

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.

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
