Reborn in the Apocalypse, This Time I Abandon the Trash Novel

" Jade , you lost the baby , I didn't come after you for that . But what the hell are you doing filing for divorce ? You even changed the locks ? " Where are you ? Get your ass back here - now . I'm still giving you a chance . " I listened to him and almost had to admire the sheer delusion . What exactly was this man so confident about ? He was panicking because of the shelter he'd prepared . That was the only reason he was acting like this . I glanced at my phone . Only one day remained before the world as we knew it fell apart . " What do you want , Carlos ? We don't have anything anymore .

I set you free . Go play house with your precious Anna , " " Heh . Jade , you think I don't know what you've been doing these past few days ? You'd better tell me where your factory - turned - safehouse is . Otherwise I'll post all your nudes online . " Disgusting . So he'd found out about the factory . He must have been digging for information while I was in the hospital , but at least he didn't sound like he knew my exact location . The apocalypse was only hours away , and there was no room for mistakes . " Your life isn't my problem . My nudes ? Post them . See if anyone cares . I don't .

" On the other end , Carlos snapped completely . He ranted , spiraling , then suddenly burst into wild laughter . " Hahaha ! You idiot . Took me long enough , but I finally tracked your location . Just wait . I'm coming . " He hung up . I was shocked for about half a second . Then I remembered I'd planned for this . I'd answered his call only after we'd already left the factory , So even if he thought he'd " tracked " me , he still wouldn't get an accurate location . My dad walked over , face hard . " He thinks he can come here ? Fine . Let him try . " I didn't answer .

My mom grabbed my dad's arm . Chapter 6 46.13 % ReelShort OPEN Hammunity - wide .... " Honey , don't let him get to you . It's not worth it . " Then she turned to me , anxious . " What do we do ? Do we actually let him come ? " " In this situation , if we don't , and he starts spreading rumors online , it'll be a nightmare . If people find out about a safe place like this , you can't even imagine how many will swarm here , " I said . " But don't worry . He won't be able to find the factory anytime soon . " I looked at my parents and made the call . " Let him come . I'll handle it .

" I checked the weather . It matched the day in my last life when he'd shoved me out to buy supplies , violent wind and rain . If things repeated the same way , hail would follow , and with the kind of storm brewing , a normal sedan would never make it through the mountain roads to reach us . At the mountain entrance , my dad had already noted how prone this area was to flooding . That told us enough . Unless Carlos had some sort of rugged , off - road vehicle , there was no way he could reach the factory within half a day in such treacherous weather and road conditions .

The rain and hail came right on schedule . The worse it got outside , the calmer I felt . Up here , we were basically cut off from the city . In theory , he shouldn't have been able to find the way at all . But I'd forgotten one person . The restaurant owner down the mountain .
