All Chapters of REBORN 7 DAYS BEFORE MY BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND LEFT ME TO DIE : Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

I ran to the closet and opened the safe. Code: 0812 - Bianca's birthday. He used his mistress's birthday for OUR safe. The insult made me shake.Inside was what I remembered. The bunker deed. The master key card - black, with a silver chip. And five stacks of cash. $20 million dollars. Money my father left for our future, that Damian was saving to build a new life with Bianca after I died.And the gun. A small black Glock. My father's gun. Damian never knew I knew how to use it. My father taught me before he died.I took everything. Every dollar, every document, the key card, the gun. I left the safe empty and open, like a mouth screaming."Elena! Are you deaf? I said get Bianca's vitamins!" He banged the bedroom door. He never knocked. He always banged.I slipped the cash and card into my backpack - the same backpack he bought me for our honeymoon that he said was cheap. I zipped it up.Then I opened the bedroom door.Damian Reid stood there in his $5,000 suit, handsome as a devil, h

The next morning, I woke up not in Damian's mansion, but in Killian Thorne's mansion. In his guest bedroom that was bigger than my entire old master bedroom.Silk sheets. Black walls. A view of the garden where Damian's nursery was still smoking from yesterday.I wore a black dress Killian's housekeeper left for me. Simple, expensive, mine. Not the old wife clothes Damian picked.Downstairs, Killian was already in the dining room, drinking black coffee, reading something on his tablet. He looked up when I entered. His eyes did that slow thing again, from my face to my feet and back."Good morning, Mrs. Thorne," he said."Don't call me that yet," I said, but I was smiling."Too late. My men already call you that," he said, pushing a plate towards me. Steak and eggs at 8 AM. Mafia breakfast. "Eat. We have a busy day. Your husband will be here at 10.""My husband is coming here?" I froze."Your soon-to-be ex-husband," Killian corrected. "I invited him. Politely. My men told him his wife

CHAPTER 6: THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE END OF THE WORLDI kissed him back. Because in an apocalypse, you don't need a hero. You need a monster who loves you more than the world. And Killian Thorne kissed like the world was already dead and I was the only living thing left in it. His hand was in my hair, pulling, not gentle. His other hand on my waist, holding me so tight I could feel every gun and knife he had strapped to his body. He tasted like black coffee and danger.Outside, on the monitors we turned off, the city was screaming. Inside, 100 feet underground, in his bed, I was finally breathing. He pulled away first. His forehead rested against mine. Both of us breathing hard. "You have no idea," he whispered, his grey eyes dark, almost black in the low bunker light. "Do you? How long I've wanted to do that." "Killian..." "Three years," he said. "In my last life. After you died. I would come to this bed, in this bunker, alone. And I would imagine this. You, alive. In my bed. Kissing me

"Ms. Thorne, you have a medical alert. Your temperature is elevated. And... your hCG levels. From your last blood test yesterday. You are pregnant. Approximately 3 weeks."EVA's calm voice said it like she was saying "it's raining outside."The bunker went completely silent.I couldn't breathe. Killian couldn't breathe. For three seconds, there was no sound except the hum of the machines.Pregnant.I was pregnant.Me, Elena Voss, the woman Damian Reid took to five doctors. The woman five doctors said was barren. The woman Damian called defective, empty, useless. The woman Bianca laughed at and said "barren anyway, why save you?"Pregnant. 3 weeks.That meant... that meant it happened before the apocalypse. Before the end of the world. That night. That one night, three weeks ago, when Damian came home drunk and... No. No, that night I cried alone. Damian hadn't touched me in four months. Four months he said I disgusted him.Then when? When did...My hand went to my stomach, flat, empty
