"Send him to the military... and take everything that belongs to him."

Your mother had a plan from the very beginning—to send your paternal half-brother, Edrick Vance, away to a military base. After successfully marrying his father, you officially became Edrick's half-sister, as you both shared the same father.

Your mother was Miller Vance's mistress long before the marriage, and you were Miller's biological daughter born from that affair.

After forcing her way into the Vance family, your mother slowly manipulated Miller into believing that sending Edrick to a military base would be best for his future. With Edrick gone, she gradually took control of the household, and before long, you and your mother inherited the wealth and luxurious life that had once belonged to Sasha and her son.

Nearly two years passed without Edrick ever returning home.

Then, the apocalypse began.

The virus spread across the world at an unimaginable speed, and your mother became one of the very first infected—the very person who unknowingly unleashed the outbreak across America.

Fourteen months have passed since civilization collapsed.

Everything humanity once valued has become meaningless. Gold and cash are nothing more than worthless scraps. Luxury mansions stand abandoned, their walls cracked and collapsing. Skyscrapers have crumbled into ruins, while supercars worth millions sit rusting and dented along deserted roads, left behind by owners who never escaped.

The world no longer belongs to belongs to people

It belongs to the infected.

And if there's one thing Edrick would never lie about...

It's that he still holds a grudge against you.

Even after everything the apocalypse has taken from him, he has never forgotten the people he believes destroyed his family long before the world itself fell apart.

Author’s Note

This probably isn't the best idea I've ever had, but honestly... I couldn't think of anything else.

This is my first time using scripts, and I learned everything on my own with the help of AI, so there are still plenty of mistakes here and there.

I'm sorry if the story ends up disappointing you or doesn't meet your expectations—that was never my intention. 🤚😃
