LOGINI was married to one of the city's richest billionaires, but inside his home, I was just a ghost. Damian never once looked at me with love. Never did he touch me with kindness. He didn't see me as a woman, or even a person. I was just… a stand-in. A stand-in while he waited for someone else to come and my heart broke in silence. But the day he walked into our home with his first love, Vanessa, hand in hand it finally broke for good. I found my strength and I placed a signed divorce papers on his desk. Damian scoffed, his eyes cold. “You’ll regret this. You’ll crawl back. Women like you always do.” I thought he was right. I thought I had no one, nowhere to go, and nothing to live for. Until the black car stopped in front of me. That night, three powerful men stepped out, calling me by a name I didn’t even know was mine. Adrian Valehart, a ruthless tycoon whose eyes were as sharp as steel and silenced a room. Nathaniel Valehart, the cold, brilliant lawyer who never lost a case. And Leo Valehart, the superstar adored by millions. They told me I was, their long-lost sister, the only daughter of a billionaire family. I thought they were wrong. But when Adrian gave me shares worth billions, Nathan vowed Damian would walk away with nothing but shame. Leo wrapped his arm around me and declared to the world, “This is my sister, my one and only.” Everything changed And Damian… Damian refuses to let go. He came crawling back, begging for a second chance. “Please, give me another chance,” he said. But my three overprotective brothers wouldn't let him touch me and his pride will not die quietly.

But I knew what was going on, and that made every second feel heavier than the last. I stood behind him in the control room, my hands resting lightly on the back of his chair, watching as another set of shares slipped away.“He’s draining it piece by piece,” Leo said from across the room.Nathan did not look up.“This is not random,” he replied. “It’s structured.”Adrian stood close to the table with his arms crossed over his chest.“Meaning?” he asked.Nathan’s fingers typed quickly over the keyboard.“It’s designed to avoid detection,” he said. “Spread out small transfers that were timed just right.”A slow breath left my chest.“So we can’t just shut it down,” I said.Nathan shook his head.“If I force it, the system could lock us out completely,” he replied.Leo ran a hand through his hair. “Of cour
Serena’s POVThe name on Nathan’s screen did not leave my mind.It just sat there, quiet but heavy, like something waiting to be understood.I stood behind him with my arms slightly folded and watched as he drew more data from the system. As the new file opened slowly, it showed bits and pieces of a life that Charles had kept hidden.“He once worked as his accountant,” Nathan said.Leo leaned closer. “For Charles?” he asked.Nathan nodded. “Yes,” he replied. “He handled financial records, offshore accounts, shell companies.”Adrian’s voice came low and steady. “He trusted him then.”Nathan tapped a few keys. “Very.”I looked at the screen carefully, my eyes moving across the details. The man had kept everything in order, every number in its place, every secret protected behind layers of silence. But now, that silence has been broken.“Can we find him?” I asked.Nathan paused for a moment, then nodded.“I already have a location,” he said.Leo straightened slightly. “Where?”Nathan turn
Serena’s POVThe change happened fast than I expected.One moment, the headlines were still filled with rumors and careless guesses about Elijah. The next, everything changed, like a curtain being pulled back quickly. I stood in the middle of the sitting room, Nathan’s tablet in my hands, as the first news reports began to spread.They were no longer asking questions. They were making claims.“Hidden Accounts Linked to Serena Valehart!”“Secret Donations Raise Questions!”“Is Valehart Hiding More Than She Shows?”I read the lines slowly, my fingers tightening a little around the edges of the tablet. There were some parts of the words that were true, but not all of them. They were twisted, shaped in a way that turned the kindness into something suspicious.Leo stepped closer, looking over my shoulder. “This is bad,” he said.Nathan did not look up from his laptop. “It’s planned,” he replied.Adrian stood near the table, He kept his composure, but I could tell his shoulders were tense.
Serena’s POVThe phone in Leo’s hand did not stop buzzing.Each vibration was louder than the last, filling the room with a sharp reminder that something outside our walls had already begun to grow. I stood still beside him, my eyes fixed on the screen, watching the headlines grow faster than I could read them.“Serena Valehart’s New Billionaire Boyfriend!”“Valehart Heiress Sparks Romance With Cross Successor!”The words didn't make sense.Not because they were surprising, but because they were so simple. The world was already making up a story from a single moment that was caught without any thought. I let out a slow breath, folding my arms lightly across my chest while Leo shook his head.“This is ridiculous,” he muttered.Nathan leaned forward from the table and looked straight ahead.“That was expected,” he said calmly.Leo turned to him with a sharp look. “Expected?” he repeated. “This is chaos.”Nathan did not raise his voice. “It's a distraction,” he said. “And distraction is

Serena's POVWhen we left the alley, it was still raining.The city was covered in it like a second skin. The streets were covered in silver and all the lights were dim. I sat in the back of the car, wrapped in a blanket that still smelled like smoke and cold metal. My hands rested in my lap, empty
