Serena's POV

I slammed the guest room door behind me, unable to stop my hands from trembling as I fought back the tears that threatened to spill down my cheeks. Each breath I took sent pain shooting through my chest—not from any physical ailment, but from the emotional wound Mom had just torn open again.

The cool night air drifted through the hallway from nearby open windows, but I couldn't feel its relief. Instead, I felt suffocated, like the walls of this massive mansion were slowly closing in around me.

"Always Diana," I whispered, my voice breaking as I pressed my back against the wall for support. "I'm so sick of living in her shadow." My nails dug deep into my palms, the sharp pain a welcome distraction from the ache in my heart. My jaw clenched so tight I could hear my teeth grinding.

    Raphael's POVMy morning started off quiet—too quiet. The kind of stillness that usually meant something bad was coming. I reached over to grab my phone from the nightstand, expecting the usual—maybe a message from Diana or a couple emails I could ignore.But then I saw it. “ Urgent Board Meeting – 9—00 AM” sent straight from Grandpa Lorenzo. No greeting, no context. Just a cold, sharp subject line that made my chest tighten.He doesn’t send emails unless it’s serious. I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my face, the kind of tired that couldn’t be fixed with more rest. My thoughts went straight to the news from last night. Something had blown up. And now he wanted us all in one room.I glanced at Diana still asleep beside me, her hair sprawled across the pillow. I hated waking her, but I leaned over and touched her arm gently. “ Hey … Di. Wake up,” I whispered. Her eyes fluttered open. “What’s wrong?” she mumbled.I held up the phone. “ Board meeting. Nine a.m. Grandpa called it hi

    Lorenzo Senior's POVI pace to and fro my living room, wondering how my family had managed to turn into a total mess, wondering how and when the hatred all began. I blamed myself for not being able to maintain the peace in my family.Yes, I was an old man, rich, wealthy; if there is another word that surpasses those two, thatwould be the best to describe me, but despite all the money I had, I couldn't buy the peace that's needed to stabilise my family.I couldn't buy the unity that I had yearned for, it wasn't like this in the time of my grandfather, my grandfather had two s,ons my father and my uncle, they lived peacefully, my father was theyounger one but due to the fact my uncle never had a passion for the family business, he went into a line that was more passionate for him and his kids took the same path he did.So when my dad died, everything he owned automatically became mine; I was his only child, so I didn't have anyone dragging managing rights with me, but then I gave birt

    Serena's POVI heaved a deep sigh of relief when I realized that it was all just a dream. "Are you alright?" Marcel asked, placing his hands on my forehead."I am fine," I replied. "You stayed longer.""Yeah about that," he paused, scratching his head. "Mom asked me to do some final interviews before coming here.""Oh, I see," I said, turning my face in another direction. "Come on Serena, I am sorry.""It's fine. Please let's just leave this godforsaken place, I don't want to be seen here anymore," I said."Come on out," he said, extending his hands to me. He pulled me out of my car and led me to his, and then we drove off.On our way back to the dynasty, I felt sleepy but I couldn't sleep because of the fear of having to go into such nightmares. It was terrible seeing myself being treated as a slave, a maid by theLorenzos and most annoyingly by Diana herself.She wasn't just a pain in the ass in the physical but also my dream. Throughout the driveway, I was so restless. Marcel kept

"Please don't do this to me, Mom, Dad.""I am not your mom.""Nor am I your dad, no daughter of mine would look like trash like you.""Hey, Serena!" The voice was accompanied by a cute child's chuckle. I turned around to see who it was, and then I found a girl in the arms of my parents. About the same age as me."Hey, don't even dare to come closer; I don't want to see you anywhere close to my daughter." Mom shot at me.The child's eyes were familiar; I had seen them before.

I had put on a great show and made my mother feel guilty.Who cares about them loving me the way they loved Diana? I only care if they tend to give her more attention now that she's no longer their daughter.Images of my Mom's facial expression flashed through my head and I couldn't hold it in.
