Quinn frowned at each and everyone of them.

He was making sure their faces were engrained in his memory.

In the coming of the harsh apocalypse, he would turn his back on everyone.

Lisa didn't want to say anything but she knew that his stance was valid.

“And you think you can come to my house without a police warrant? Harassing my workers? What level of stupidity.”

Quinn said, then the hint of a smile appeared on his face.

Wealth was good.

Wealth was power.

And before money lost its value, he would make sure to appropriately use it.

Before Lisa left his house, he had gotten a set of people to follow her.

These were easily found on the dark web, he just needed to pay these people.

“Since you all have no evidence. I'm going to give you mine.”

Quinn took out his phone, and opened the door to this house.

Lisa could feel the dread rising from within her.

She hated where this was going and there was no way she could leave at the moment.

These people held her tight.

The spacious living room was enough for everyone to fit in.

It was the moment Quinn had been waiting for.

The utter embarrassment of the Rodriguez family, by their own miniscule daughter.

To add to it, he would be dragging another well known candidate in the mud.

The mere thought made him crack a smile, while he connected his phone to the large screen.

With a shape blare of light, the screen came on and along with it, a video was displayed.

It was Lisa and she was talking to someone.

Of course, it was Harold.

Quinn sneered. To think Lisa was the one who sent Harold to do such a thing.

“I think the contents of this video would interest you a lot.” Quinn said and he played it, increasing the volume of the video.

“You have to find a way to distract Quinn. I have a few men that I can hand to you, and ensure you stop him from coming back to his home.”

“Sis? What do you plan to do this time?”

Lisa shifted in her seat and a smile appeared on her face.

“Have you seen how much he has been spending? How could I let that go? Just like that? It was impossible. I'm going to claim that he tried to rape me.”

When he heard the plan, Harold chuckled. “Is it because you are pregnant for that lawyer guy?”

Lisa rolled her eyes, “His name is Zachary. Anyways, that's partly why. After I sue Quinn in court for unlawful hiding of his wealth.” Lisa explained.

She raised her glass of wine to her lips, “He claimed to expose my child as a bastard and a product of adultery.”

“But it would be his fault because he forced me to sleep with another man with emotional trauma.”

The television went off.

Lisa's face paled.

It was like she was standing face to face with a demon.

Fear made her weak and she fell to the ground.

Quinn was not finished, “This is only the beginning, Lisa. You have played with me for five years of our marriage. Used me as a slave and kept me treated like a dog.”

Then he turned to the crowd, “Now that you have gotten your proof, I suggest that you all get out of my property before I call the cops.”

“Leave the woman behind.” Quinn commanded and no one went against his wish.

They all walked out, mumbling.

Unknown to Lisa, someone had actually gone live to stream the whole thing.

Lisa had a lot of fans and she was quite a famous actress, as that was why she was able to gather a good number of people to Quinn's house.

It was a nightmare.

“Quinn, what is the meaning of this?” Lisa's voice broke when she raised her gaze.

There was no hint of emotion in Quinn's eyes when he looked at her.

“This is barely anything, Lisa. Compared to what you have done to me in the last five years? It's a chip from the tip of an iceberg.”

    Quinn had spent days in front of the weather monitor, tracking the storm city by city across the tri-state area. He barely slept at all and he had already gone through more than a dozen sachets of instant coffee. He was looking for deviations from his previous life, and so far the news was good. Almost every major city had flooded, and the storm had killed more than a few people, but the government had thrown together drainage systems under pressure, and as the storm lost strength the numbers improved by the day. People were still told to stay indoors, though the odds of being swept away by the flood outside were much lower now. His shelter sat on elevated ground and was more or less safe from the water."It'll be over in a few days," he told Emily.She was perched on the arm of the couch, eating white bread he'd pulled out of his spatial storage that morning. "But you said it will comes back."He had given her his predictions, the ones he could explain without explaining how he knew

    Quinn sat in the den, staring at the television. The backup generator was running through the storm as planned. He leaned back into the couch and rubbed his eyes.He had a lot of explaining to do, and he no idea how to start. How do you tell someone you've already lived through the end of the world? That in another life, you ignored her call, and by the time you understood what it meant, she was gone?Twenty minutes had passed since Emily went into the bathroom. He was starting to wonder if she'd fallen asleep in there when he heard her footsteps. She came in wearing a loose shirt and the sweatpants he'd found in the guest room, rubbing her damp hair with a towel."Tea?" he asked."Please."He went to the kitchen and filled the kettle. He'd stocked enough for months: tea, coffee, bottled water, instant meals stacked in neat rows. Emily sat on the couch and watched him as he prepared it."Are you going to tell me what's going on now?""Yes.""Good. Because I'm still trying to understan

    Quinn waited in his car as the wind blew violently around him. The truck rocked slightly with every powerful gust, and the trees lining the road bent under the force of the storm. Emily was five minutes away, if the GPS location she shared with him was correct. The rain was already slapping roughly against the windshield, running down the glass in thick streams, and he could barely see more than a couple of feet ahead of him.He left the headlights on and the passenger-side door unlocked so she'd be able to find him easily, but he was starting to feel uneasy.Emily was a petite woman, and while he knew it was unrealistic, he feared she'd be blown away by the winds.Two more minutes... If she's not here by then, I'll be forced to go look for her, he thought to himself, determined not to lose her this time around.He counted down the seconds, his heart beating faster with worry as the numbers got lower. Every few seconds, he glanced at the side mirrors, hoping to catch a glimpse of her

    Quinn got into his shelter and locked it down. He hoped Mr. Benson would get to safety before the storm hit.For a moment, he simply sat there. The smile on his face remained, but his mind was already racing.In his previous life, the first major disaster had been predictable.The false typhoon warning then he real storm followed by the collapse of the power grid and the major flooding... then everything else.He remembered the sequence so clearly because of the unique trauma each event had arrived it and using that map, he had treated the future like a schedule.But now that confidence was gone. The storm changing courses meant that the future was no longer set on stoneQuinn pulled out his phone and opened the notes application. He created a new folder and started typing.[Things I Remember.]Under it, he created another.[Things That Have Changed.]He stared at the screen for a few seconds before typing.[Storm path changed... possibly because of my actions.]Quinn leaned back and

    You ruined my reputation Quinn!" Lisa had tears in her eyes as she yelled at Quinn.Quinn was already used to her manipulation tactics from his previous life and nothing could redeem her from the evil her and her family did to him."You planned to destroy me Lisa, I'm just returning the favour" he barely looked at her as the construction workers had already resumed their work. He wanted to humiliate her more but there were more important things right now."I'll make you regret this Quinn" Lisa yelled after him but he ignored her as he received an alert on his phone. It was a red alert for everyone warning them to take shelter from the incoming typhoon but he knew it was a false news.Quinn merely glanced at the notification. In his previous life, this same warning had sent thousands of people into a frenzy, only for nothing to happen.The real disaster would come soon and by then, it would be too late for anyone who wasn't prepared."Keep working!" He yelled to the construction worke
