Apocalypse Domination: A Cold Rebirth
Liam Carter spent two years working double shifts and selling his belongings to support his girlfriend, Chloe. When a polar storm drops the world to negative sixty degrees, she repays him by locking him out in the blizzard so her new lover, the wealthy Julian, can stay warm. Liam freezes to death with one thought burning in his mind: revenge.
He wakes up thirty days before the ice age begins. That same night, he tracks Chloe to Julian's suite at the Sterling Hotel and confirms his memories are real. He walks away calmly, then spends his last $1,000 on lottery numbers he remembers from his first life. The jackpot is $300 million.
Liam wastes no time. He hires an elite security firm to turn the lot across from campus into a geothermal, steel-reinforced survival bunker and orders a warehouse worth of food and water. When Chloe and Julian discover he is rich, they decide his sudden wealth is a "loyalty test." Chloe tries to win him back, and Liam slaps her in front of the whole student elite. He slaps Julian too, then stares down campus security with a wall of private mercenaries.
Julian refuses to accept defeat. Believing Liam will pick a new girlfriend to spite Chloe, he gets Liam's kind coworker Maya fired and blackmails her into seducing Liam and draining his fortune. Liam, who remembers Maya as the one good person in his past life, answers her call as she begs for help.

Chapter: Chapter 7Julian slid a thick manila envelope across the laminate counter of the Oak Diner. The morning rush filled the small restaurant with a chaotic symphony of clinking silverware, loud conversations, and the sharp hiss of the espresso machine. The shift manager weighed the paper envelope in his hands. His eyes darted nervously toward the crowded dining area before he peeked inside the flap. The thick stack of uncirculated hundred dollar bills erased any lingering hesitation."Take the cash and fire her the second my girlfriend complains," Julian ordered. His voice carried a cold authority that left no room for negotiation. "Do it loudly so everyone in the diner hears you."The manager nodded quickly and slipped the envelope deep into his apron pocket. Julian turned and walked back to the corner booth where Chloe waited. She sipped a glass of ice water and kept her eyes locked on the swinging kitchetwenty-dollar emerged from the kitchen carrying a heavy tray loaded with breakfast platters.

Chapter: Chapter 6The lead campus security officer stared at the imposing wall of armed private contractors. He gripped his standard-issue baton, but his knuckles were white with tension. He realized quickly that he was vastly outmatched. These were not poorly trained mall cops. They were elite mercenaries hired by a premier defense firm, and they looked eager for a fight.The officer slowly lowered his weapon and took a cautious step back from the dusty property line. The university did not pay him nearly enough to engage in a violent street war with a private army.However, he needed to save face in front of the wealthy student crowd. The officer straightened his posture and pointed a stern finger at Liam."You think you won this standoff?" the officer shouted over the hum of the idling excavators. "I am transferring this assault case directly to the city police department tonight. I am also filing a formal incident report with the university administration. You will be expelled and sitting in a jail

Chapter: Chapter 5The crowd of wealthy students erupted into immediate chaos. A student in a tailored suit pulled his phone from his pocket and frantically dialed campus security. He shouted into the receiver that a maniac had assaulted a woman on the street. Julian clutched his bleeding jaw and leaned heavily against the temporary fencing. Blood dripped onto his expensive shirt collar. He glared at Liam with murderous intent. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and winced."You are going to prison for this," Julian spat. He spat another mouthful of blood onto the pavement. "My family lawyers will bury you. You will be expelled before morning. You are nothing but a violent thug."Chloe sat in the dust and covered her swelling cheek with both hands. Tears streamed down her face. She played the victim role with practiced ease. She looked up at Liam with wide, tear-filled eyes."You have lost your mind," Chloe sobbed loudly for the crowd to hear. "Apologize to me right now. Get on your knees and

Chapter: Chapter 4"Wait a second. Is that Liam?"A wealthy business student squinted through the glaring construction lights. He pointed past the heavy excavators toward the tall figure directing the demolition crew. The elite patrons of The Ivy Room had stepped out of the restaurant in their tailored suits and designer dresses. They were initially drawn outside by the deafening roar of diesel engines tearing up the vacant campus lot.Now they stared in absolute shock."It makes perfect sense now," another student murmured loud enough for the crowd to hear. "He wore those worn-out sneakers and ate cafeteria food every single day. We all thought he was a charity case."A girl with a designer handbag laughed maliciously. "It was a loyalty test. My father warned me about wealthy heirs doing this. They pretend to be poor to see if their partners actually love them for their personality."The crowd turned their collective gaze toward Chloe."She failed the test," a boy sneered from the back of the group. "S

Chapter: Chapter 3"I want the wagyu ribeye cooked medium rare and a large bowl of hot clam chowder. Send it up immediately."Liam dropped the room service phone onto the receiver. Warm air rushed over his face inside the penthouse suite of the Sterling Hotel.In his previous life, he spent his final days huddled in a frozen basement. He chewed on leather shoelaces just to stave off the agonizing hunger. Now the sheets on the king-sized bed were pure cotton. The room temperature sat at a perfect seventy degrees.The food arrived fifteen minutes later. Liam devoured the heavy feast in total silence. He savored the rich heat of the soup as it slid down his throat. He let his exhausted mind heal from the trauma of the apocalypse. He pulled the thick blankets over his chest and slept for fourteen solid hours.He opened his eyes the next morning and grabbed his phone. The Mega Millions drawing had concluded overnight. He pulled up the official website and checked his ticket. The numbers matched perfectly.Li

Chapter: Chapter 2Liam stood in the quiet hallway of the Sterling Hotel. The thick carpet absorbed the sound of his footsteps. The air smelled of expensive citrus cleaning supplies. The luxury of the environment felt foreign to him. He spent the last few months of his previous life freezing in a dark apartment.The contrast made his skin crawl. The muffled sounds of laughter and wet kissing bled through the door of Room 804. Liam took a slow breath. He drove his heel directly into the locking mechanism. The wood splintered loudly like a gunshot. The door slammed open and bounced against the interior wall.Liam stepped into the lavish suite. Chloe and Julian scrambled apart on the massive king bed.Chloe gasped loudly and scrambled backward against the padded headboard. Her bare chest was exposed to the cool air of the room. Panic flashed across her eyes before she snatched a white feather pillow to cover her naked torso. Julian swore under his breath and rolled away toward the edge of the mattress.Lia
