Survival Game Web Novels & Independent Second Chance Stories

The second was remembering her canon ending: a mysterious, brutal murder shortly after her divorce. When my powerful billionaire husband, Ethan Hayes, throws the divorce papers on the table, he expects me to beg for his affection. Instead, trapped in a dead woman's shoes with a clock ticking down on my life, I decide to turn the whole game around. Ethan wanted a clean break. Instead, he's about to find out what happens when the wife he threw away holds all the power, and he's the one left waiting on her answer.

Jenna spent years keeping her husband's family alive. When a supervolcano erupted and ash buried the city, they locked her out of the shelter she had helped build. She suffocated outside the hatch while her husband, Steve, watched through the gap and did nothing. With her last breath, she learned that Max, the little boy she had raised as her own, was Steve's son with his colleague Vanessa. Then Jenna opens her eyes, sixty days before the eruption. This time, she doesn't beg for a place at their table. She hands Steve divorce papers, sells everything that will be worthless once the sky turns black, and claims the one thing his family always mocked: her late grandfather's abandoned mine, buried deep enough to keep the ash out and the air clean. When Steve and his mother, Linda, try to take half of it, the deed proves it was Jenna's long before the wedding. Everyone calls her crazy for stockpiling respirators, diesel, and medicine. Only Ray, the cold and watchful captain of the mine rescue team, notices that nothing she buys is random. He doesn't trust her, but he can't ignore that she seems to know something no one else does. Then the mountain blows. The sky turns red, roofs collapse under the ash, and the same people who locked her out come pounding on her door, begging to be let in. This time, Jenna decides who lives.
