All Chapters of Apocalypse Roleplay: I Watched Him Betray Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

"Daphne, if you sign the form for this voluntary field assignment, you can still leave with some dignity."Evan Ziegler, my fiance, tossed a pen in front of me. The tip smacked against the metal table with a sharp, crisp sound.I looked down at the document. It clearly stated that this field assignment was a bait mission in the contaminated zone. I was the assigned operative, and the survival rate was 3%.I lifted my head to look at him. Just 30 days ago, he'd still been holding me in his arms, telling me that he would protect me even if the world ended.Now, the world as we knew it really had ended, and he was shoving me to the front lines."Evan." My voice came out hoarse. "The infected ones out there literally eat people."He frowned. "I know.""And you're still sending me there?""The base isn't a charity." Evan sat at the far end of the conference table. His black tactical uniform made him look much colder and harsher than before. "You don't have combat training or medical

The car suddenly stopped. The lights in the carriage went out for three seconds. When they flicked back on, a broadcast echoed through the entire base."The doomsday survival experience project has ended. All actors, attention—your contracts have been fulfilled. Stop performing. Repeating, stop performing."I heard people cheering outside the car. At first, it was just a few voices. Very quickly, it became a roar. It was like people who had been holding their breath far too long finally getting to breathe.The man with the scar ripped the fake scar off his face. "It's a wrap! I never wanna see another protein bar again."The short-haired woman tossed her prop gun onto the seat. "I need a drink. A strong one."The doctor pulled out his phone. "Honey, I'm off work. Yeah, 30 days. Did the final payment come in?"I sat in the carriage without moving. My chest still felt tight. I knew the apocalypse had been fake, but the way Evan had just sent me to my death had been real.Someone y

Dominic didn't mention what scene two was, but Evan found out soon enough.The doors at the end of the hall swung open. Dominic walked in wearing a suit. Behind him were lawyers, bodyguards, the finance team, and two guys carrying cameras.The moment Evan saw Dominic, the look on his face became uglier than before. He growled, "Mr. Sadler."Dominic ignored him and came straight to me. He lifted his hand like he was about to ruffle my hair, then stopped halfway. "You've lost weight."My nose stung. "Oh, so you still remember I exist.""Sorry," he quickly said. "Mom wanted to come in person, but Dad stopped her. He said if she came, she would tear this underground base down brick by brick."I couldn't help asking, "Where is she now?""Watching the livestream."I went quiet, and so did Evan. The fact that Mom was watching the livestream meant that everything he'd done this entire month had been broadcast right in front of my parents.Dominic finally turned to look at Evan. He ask

Evan was taken to the base's central square.It used to be the supply distribution point. Now, there were long tables, drinks, boxed meals, and a giant LED screen. All the actors were gathered below it. The whole setup looked like a company year-end party.The bodyguards forced Evan onto the stage. He clearly still wanted to hold on to the last bit of his dignity, but his face was swollen, and his tactical uniform was a wrinkled mess.Dominic held a microphone. "Thank you all for your hard work. The final payment will arrive in your accounts within ten minutes."The crowd exploded in cheers."Mr. Sadler's the best!""Long live Ms. Sadler!""Drinks are on the boss!"Dominic raised a hand to quiet them. He continued, "In addition, the Sadler family will be issuing extra compensation for the emotional distress Mr. Ziegler caused everyone during the project."The crowd got even louder.The look on Evan's face turned hideous. "Dominic, don't go too far."Dominic turned to look at
