My Wife Killed Me, Now I’m the Apocalypse Billionaire
Three months before the apocalypse, Sean Miles got a second chance at life.
In his previous life, he trusted the woman he loved with everything he had.
She repaid him with betrayal.
When the apocalypse began, Sean was infected by a mutated wolf while trying to protect the survivors. Desperate for the antiviral serum he had brought back, he returned to his wife—only to find her in bed with another man.
“Jessica… where is my serum?”
She looked away.
“Sean, I gave it to Zach. He was sick.”
“A cold?” Sean stared at her, barely able to stand. “You gave the only serum that can save my life to your lover because he had a fever?”
“Don't be dramatic. We'll find another one.”
But there was no other one.
Sean died knowing the woman he had protected for six years had chosen another man over him.
Then he opened his eyes.
Three months before the apocalypse.
Alive.
Young.
And holding memories of everything that was coming.
This time, Sean had no intention of being anyone's fool.
He divorced Jessica before the apocalypse began.
Then he used his memories of the future to win hundreds of millions in the lottery, hiding his fortune where she could never touch it.
While the world laughed at the man who suddenly disappeared from his wife's life, Sean was preparing.
Jessica thought she had finally gotten rid of her useless husband.
She had no idea that the man she abandoned was preparing to become the most powerful survivor on Earth.
When she eventually came begging, Sean would have only one answer.
“You chose him when I had nothing.”
He looked through the fortress window as the first signs of the apocalypse appeared.
“Now that I have everything… why would I choose you?”

Chapter: Chapter 8: FortressThree days passed after Jessica's message demanding five hundred million dollars, and Sean never replied. Not a single word. The message sat there on her screen with its little "delivered" tag mocking her every time she checked, unread receipts that never turned into a response.Jessica sat on the edge of her bed in her parents' house, staring at the silent thread, her thumb hovering uselessly over the keyboard. She had imagined this moment so many times. The wire transfer notification. The lawyer's polite email confirming the settlement. The new apartment in Positano she had already started browsing online, the shopping trips, the life of a woman who never had to worry about money again.None of it was coming."He's not answering." Jessica's voice cracked slightly as she looked up at Zach, who was lounging in the armchair by the window scrolling through his own phone."He'll cave. Give it time." Zach didn't even look up."It's been three days, Zach. Three days and nothing. Not even

Chapter: Chapter 7: GreedThe negotiation was set to take place at a private conference room inside the Bellavista Business Center, a glass tower on Corso Milano that housed half the law firms in the city. Karla had arranged the neutral meeting space herself, insisting that face to face mediation before trial was standard procedure, even when she already knew how it would end.Sean arrived first and took a seat at the long mahogany table. Karla sat beside him with a closed folder in front of her. Five minutes later, the door opened and Jessica walked in, followed by Margaret and a lawyer Sean didn't recognize, a thin balding man clutching a leather briefcase like it might run away from him.Jessica had dressed carefully. A soft gray blazer, hair pulled back into a neat bun, minimal jewelry. The picture of a reasonable, wronged woman. She sat down across from Sean and offered him a small, tight smile that didn't reach her eyes."Sean. Thank you for agreeing to meet." Her voice was calm, almost gentle."Let's ge

Chapter: Chapter 6: part 2"Because I wanted legal counsel first. I want to know the best way to use the results, not just get them." Sean's voice was measured, every word chosen with the patience of a man who had already made the mistake of acting on emotion in another lifetime.Karla nodded slowly, and for the first time, something close to respect flickered across her features. "Smart. Very smart. Here's what I recommend. We send the sample to a certified forensic lab with chain of custody documentation. The results come back sealed and are held by this office. We don't use them unless we need to.""When would we need to?" Sean leaned forward slightly."If Jessica pushes the custody angle. Right now, she's using Jack as emotional leverage in her public campaign. The poor abandoned child, the heartless rich father. If she escalates, if she files for retroactive child support or tries to reopen custody proceedings to get access to your finances through the child, we pull out the DNA results." Karla picked up h

Chapter: Chapter 6: RetainerSean stepped out of the elevator into a reception area that smelled like leather and fresh espresso. The floors were polished marble, the walls lined with framed case victories and bar association honors. Everything about the place said one thing: we don't lose.Sean had found Karla Singh through three hours of research the night before. She was ranked as one of the top five divorce and asset protection attorneys in the state. Her win rate in post divorce disputes was ninety four percent. Her retainer fee was two hundred thousand dollars, and she was worth every cent.The receptionist, a young man in a fitted navy suit, led Sean down a long corridor to a corner office with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline. Karla Singh was already standing behind her desk when he walked in.She was tall, mid forties, with sharp dark eyes and black hair pulled back in a tight bun. Her handshake was firm and brief, and she gestured to the chair across from her without any small talk.

Chapter: Chapter 5: Part 2Zach pulled out his phone and scrolled through his contacts. "Derek specializes in post divorce asset recovery. He's gone after hidden accounts, offshore funds, all kinds of stuff. If Sean made even one mistake with his timing, Derek will find it.""Call him." Margaret spoke for the first time, her voice sharp and final."Already texting him." Zach typed with one thumb, his other hand still resting on Jessica's back. "But listen, babe, lawyers take time. Courts take time. You know what doesn't take time?"Jessica turned to look at him, her eyebrow raised slightly."The internet." Zach's grin widened."What do you mean?" Jessica's eyes narrowed, but there was curiosity underneath."I mean you record a video. You tell your side of the story. A woman who gave six years of her life to a man who was secretly hoarding wealth, who abandoned his wife and child the moment he got rich. You cry a little, you mention Jack, you talk about how he left you with nothing. The internet eats that stuff

Chapter: Chapter 5: ViralThe morning after the Jones family's uninvited visit, Sean stood in the security office near the front gate of the Ridgewood community. Two guards sat behind a bank of monitors showing camera feeds from every entrance. The head of security, a broad shouldered man named Frank, was listening with his hands folded on the desk."Mr. Miles, you said there was an incident last night?" Frank's tone was professional and attentive."Three people showed up at my door unannounced around 9 PM. A man in his sixties, his wife, and a younger woman. They let themselves through the gate and came directly to my property without authorization." Sean placed a printed photo on the desk showing George's silver sedan captured by his doorbell camera.Frank picked up the photo and studied it. "That shouldn't have happened. The night shift is supposed to check visitor clearance before letting anyone through.""It won't happen again. I want all three of them permanently flagged in your system. Their names are G
