Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 182

Julian had just taken a shower and walked over to Rayne, who was winded on the bed.

He just finished making passionate love with her and came over to help her over to the shower so that she could rinse off.

"How are you? Is it really sore?", he asked with a concerned look.

Once again he was taken over by how amazing it felt and lost control of his movements, being on the more rougher side.

Rayne teasingly pouted, "You’re a bully! I’m going to end up bedridden for the rest of my life if I stay with you!".

Julian scooped her up into his arms, "Hey, I wouldn’t complain. Don’t worry, I promise to take care of you", he smiled, cheekily.

Rayne pretended to punch his shoulder, "You’re dangerous! I need to stay away!", she laughed.

They had a fun time bantering as Julian carried her to the shower. The water was already on and at a perfect temperature, leaving Rayne to simply walk right in.

Julian stayed in the bathroom and dried his hair while Rayne showered. Every once in a while he would take a peek behind the shower curtain, causing Rayne to splash water in his face.

The apartment was filled with love and laughter making the atmosphere inside very warm and cozy.

"Go invite Noah and Ian for a meal. I’m craving that fried chicken and I feel like it would be nice to enjoy it with some company!", said Rayne.

She was getting dressed and was starving from all the earlier ’exercise’ they did.

"Okay, not a bad idea! We haven’t had them over for a meal yet, I’m sure they’ll appreciate the good food! Oh take an extra portion of the spicy wings for me please!", he said as he walked over to the door to head next door.

All of the units in the building faced the outdoors with a large balcony walkway that connected them all together.

As soon as Julian walked outside he heard a loud gasp coming from below.

"Julian?", Samantha’s voice called out softly.

Julian looked down and immediately felt a headache come on. Below, on the walkway he saw his sister Layla standing next to another girl.

A part of him knew he’d have to deal with his family sooner or later, but he was upset that now was the time. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

Their presence dampened the joyous mood he had all day.

After taking a deep breath he turned to look at Layla, completely ignoring Samantha, "Why are you here?".

Layla blew up in anger, "WHY AM I HERE? Maybe if it wasn’t for your selfish ass who has the audacity to give away MY stuff, I wouldn’t bother"

She took a deep breath and looked at Samantha, who was standing beside her in a trance.

"And HOW DARE YOU ditch your wife? Faking your death is one thing, but leaving her behind...Do you have no shame?!", she added.

Upstairs, Rayne walked outside because she heard screaming and wanted to see what was happening. As soon as she walked out, she heard Layla’s words.

She looked at Julian with a shocked expression, not expecting someone to show up claiming to be his wife!

Layla caught the eye of one of the servants they had sent out to search for clues about Julian, "Hey you! Go call Mom and Dad! Tell them their son has been hiding here while selling our things and keeping useless woman!"

The servant quickly nodded and ran towards the car to convey the message.

After the servant left, Layla took Samantha by the arm and led her upstairs. She wouldn’t leave today until Julian gave her all of the things she was owed.

In the few moments while Layla and Samantha were heading upstairs Julian squeezed Rayne’s hand.

"I’m sorry, looks like we’ll host dinner another time. Seems like trouble came to find me, and I apologize in advance for how horrible they are. I promise you Rayne, you’re my entire world", said Julian and walked her back home.

Samantha saw their intimate actions and alarm bells sounded in her mind. In the past Julian had never once allowed a woman to touch him, not to mention taking initiative to hold hands!

Layla also saw the scene and pushed forward, entering Rayne and Julian’s apartment right behind them.

She looked around and noticed how cozy it was. The table was even set with crispy fried chicken and beers.

"Wow, nice life you have here! I haven’t had meat for the last two days!", she spat.

Samantha walked inside and eyed Rayne angrily While she had to admit that Rayne was very beautiful, she herself always prided herself in her looks.

She walked over to Layla’s side and tugged her sleeve. Layla looked up and over to see Julian placing his arms around the beautiful blonde.

Fury burned in her eyes. She swore that she wouldn’t let anyone take her man away from her.
