Reborn Before the Apocalypse,My Ex Will Regret Losing MeChapter 1

The apocalypse came as a heatwave.

When temperatures soared past anything the world had ever seen, I stumbled into a stroke of impossible luck: a Frost System, bound to me and me alone. It could generate ice to beat the heat and keep food from spoiling.

I told my boyfriend the moment it happened. I thought he'd be relieved. Instead, Owen Gilbert demanded I use the system to save his childhood sweetheart and her entire family.

People show their true colors when the world falls apart. I knew the risks. I refused him on the spot.

Lesley Henson and her family of five couldn't survive the heat. One by one, their bodies broke down, blistered, and gave out.

Owen's family, meanwhile, lived. Because of me. Because of my system.

After the apocalypse ended, he proposed like nothing had happened. We got married.

And on the day I went into labor, he drove me into the desert and left me there.

He stood over me while the sun scorched the life out of my body, and he smiled. That vicious, satisfied smile.
