Chapter 307: Hers For The Taking
Alicia stared out the window of her condo, a feeling of dread settling deep in her stomach. She had no idea what was going on, and it was stressing her out.
While the timeline for some events at the beginning was in line with her last life, there were even more things that she hadn’t seen coming.
Like the first snowstorm. Like meeting Hattie. Like Adam and Eve and the evolution of the zombies and almost everything else that was floating around like dust on the wind.
Taking in a deep breath, she tried to calm herself down. She had been reborn; she needed to remember that. And because she was the only one in this world who had been granted that privilege, the world was hers for the taking.
It didn’t matter who blocked her path; it didn’t matter what the world threw at her; she would overcome it. She knew how this ended. Réne was sitting at the top of Country M with everyone at his feet. He was already well on his way there, thanks to the New Dawn, and everyone knew that you couldn’t mess with destiny.
Réne was destined for this role, and as his wife, she just had to follow along for the ride.
"It’s okay," murmured Réne as he approached his wife from behind. Ever so slowly, he rubbed his hands up and down her arms. Her right arm was still dead to the touch and couldn’t be moved easily, but they had managed to hide her condition from everyone else up to this point.
"Is it?" replied Alicia, tilting her head to the side. "I’m not so sure about that."
"Okay," agreed Réne quickly, wanting to do whatever he needed to in order to make her happy again. "Then what can I do to help?"
