Todoroki Brother

Ethan Moore spent ten years being the perfect husband. He worked sixteen hour shifts so his wife Claire could carry designer bags. He paid off his mother in law's credit card debt four times. He covered his brother in law's DUI lawyers, his daughter's private school tuition, and every vacation, every spa trip, every brunch bill that his family racked up without ever once saying thank you. And when he lay dying in a hospital bed with three cracked ribs and a punctured lung, not one of them held his hand. "I called the insurance company this morning. The payout is $750,000, but with the accidental clause, it bumps to 1.2 million." His wife crossed her legs and scrolled through her phone without looking at him once. "What about the stock options from his company? Those vest on death, don't they?" His mother in law leaned against the doorframe with her arms folded. And then his daughter, the girl he carried on his shoulders at county fairs, the girl he stayed up with during thunderstorms, looked up from her phone and said the words that stopped his heart. "You know he's not even my real dad, right? I just want to know if I still get stuff. I really need a new phone." He woke up three years in the past with every memory of his deathbed burned into his brain and a system that returned every dollar he spent tenfold. The man who once apologized to a waiter for sending back cold soup now buys $400,000 suits without blinking. The man who skipped his own father's funeral because his wife said they couldn't afford the flight now carries $20 million in his back pocket. The pushover is dead. And the people who killed him don't even know he's coming.

He gave her everything. She repaid him with betrayal. Xavier Lancaster spent years building Horizon Technologies into a business empire and devoted his entire heart to the woman he loved, believing his loyalty would earn him a lifetime by her side. Instead, she chose another man over her own husband. When the zombie apocalypse destroyed civilization, Xavier fought until his last breath to protect her. His reward was a bullet through the heart, fired by the woman he would have died for. "George is the one I want to save..." But fate gave him one more chance. Xavier awakens three months before the apocalypse with every memory of humanity's downfall intact. This time, he refuses to repeat the same mistakes. He demands a divorce from the wife who never deserved him, sells his shares before disaster strikes, amasses unimaginable wealth, and secretly prepares for the end of the world while everyone else remains obsessed with power, money, and love. Then the apocalypse begins. Cities fall. Civilization collapses. The dead rise. The people who once mocked, betrayed, and abandoned him come crawling back. "Xavier... I was wrong. Please... give me one more chance." "Brother Xavier... spare me! I'll do anything! Please don't leave me outside!" The loyal assistant he failed to protect in his previous life refuses to leave his side, while the women who once overlooked him begin fighting for the heart of the man who no longer believes in love. Now Xavier lives by one unbreakable rule: "Those who betrayed me can face the apocalypse on their own." In this lifetime, he will save only those worth saving. Will Xavier change humanity's fate or simply watch those who betrayed him perish one by one? When the apocalypse begins, who will survive... and who will beg at Xavier Lancaster's gates?
