Serena's POV

By morning, my name was back on every screen, but this time it wasn't in my favor. The picture from the garden went viral very quickly. The headline screamed betrayal. Commentators whispered about secret deals and hidden motives.

“Serena Caught Manipulating Damian’s Mother!”

“The Perfect Victim Turns Out to Be the Perfect Liar!”

Every word hurt like glass cutting through my skin.

I sat on the couch in the living room, the phone trembling in my hand, as one new notification after another filled the screen. The world that had once praised me for honesty now mocked me again, twisting every photo, every word, every tear.

Leo tried to lighten the tension, pacing near the window. “They’ll forget in a week,” he said softly. “The internet’s memory is short.”

But I could tell he was worried by the sound of his voice.

Both Nathan and Adrian stood next to each other, their faces dark as they scrolled through their tablets. “The Cross PR team is feeding this,” Nathan said f

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 93

    Serena's POV The air inside the underground hall felt thick, like it was holding its breath. From the roof, heavy lights hung down, making sharp shadows on masked faces and shiny shoes. The crowd buzzed with low voices, mone. They all wore expensive suits. I stood still in my disguise, heart steady, eyes locked forward, waiting. Vanessa walked onto the stage as if she owned it. Her dark red dress clung to her body like spilled wine, bold and cruel. She smiled slowly, the kind of smile that never reached the eyes, and lifted her chin as if greeting people who looked up to her. The room got quiet as they leaned toward her voice. “Look at you all,” Vanessa said, spreading her arms wide. “The finest buyers, the sharpest minds, and those who have a deep understanding of reality.” She looked around the room before settling her gaze on me. Her smile widened, sharp and knowing. She pointed directly at me, her finger steady and proud. “And then there she is,” Vanessa said, her voice loud

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 92

    Serena’s POVVanessa was always one step ahead of me.I felt it the moment our plane landed in Monaco, like a chessboard already arranged while I was still choosing my first move.She wanted us here, every burned trail and half-revealed clue leading straight into her territory.With all its lights and fancy things, this city didn't feel like a rich person's playground anymore; it felt like a perfectly staged war zone.We checked into the hotel under false names. The entrance smelled like polished stone and fancy perfume. It was a place where you could buy loyalty and learn how to smile.I didn't take off my sunglasses, even when I was indoors. I was relaxed, but my nerves were still on edge.I felt like there was an eye looking back at me on every surface that could reflect light.Nathan quickly and quietly secured the whole floor with small devices humming behind the walls, preventing anyone else from hearing what was going on.Adrian memorized exits, his injured arm held stiffly at

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 91

    Serena’s POVLong after the call ended, I could still hear Damian's voice.“She’s here. And she’s not alone.”The call disconnected, but the silence that followed was more powerful than the wordsIt was sharp and heavy, pressing into my chest like a warning with teeth.For a moment, everyone remained still. It felt like the walls had leaned closer to listen, making the room tight.Nathan’s fingers hovered above his keyboard, frozen in thought. Leo's energy, which was usually full of restlessness, became calm, and his jaw set tightly.Adrian was the first to break the silence.He pushed himself up from the chair, his injured arm stiff but he ignored it.I could see he was in pain because his mouth was tight, but he didn't slow down. “Nathan,” he said evenly, “lock everything down we are going to trace to Monaco.”Nathan nodded at once, already typing. His screens were full of changing information, and lines of code were running like heartbeats. “Done,” he said, voice calm but clipped.“

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 90

    Serena’s POVThe flash drive sat at the center of the table like it was alive.It was small, black, and ordinary, yet no one reached for it.The glass surface beneath it reflected our faces in broken angles.The lights above seemed to be waiting, too sharp, too dazzling.Nathan stood close to it,his shoulders tense, his fingers hovering.He did not rush, and that frightened me more than fear would have.When he finally picked it up, he held it like something fragile and cursed.Adrian watched him without blinking, his injured arm resting stiffly at his side.The room was quiet in the way storms are silent before they break.No one spoke, not even Leo, who usually filled silence with movement.I could hear my own breath, shallow and careful.My heart thudded loud enough that I wondered if they heard it too.Nathan slid the drive into his laptop. The soft click sounded too final.The screen flickered once, then twice. Like a warning sign, a red title came into view.PROJECT PHOENIX.Th

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 89

    Serena’s POVThe evacuation order cut through Valehart Mansion like a blade. Sharp, relentless sirens wailed from the rafters, cutting off any communication.Security doors slid open one by one as red lights blazed around the hallways.People surged forward, fear driving their steps faster than reason.Hands brushed my shoulders as I walked with the crowd.Perfume, sweat, and panic mixed in the air until it felt thick in my lungs. The air seemed heavy in my lungs, a mixture of sweat, perfume, and panic.Somewhere behind us, someone was crying and calling a name over and over.I didn't look back. I maintained my look forward, concentrating on the green-lit exit signs amidst the confusion.Adrian’s earlier warning echoed in my head, sharp and unfinished.Nathan’s voice followed soon after, firm, steady, trying to control what could not be controlled.When we burst into the open air, the night hit me hard. A chilly breeze whipped across my skin, piercing both silk and terror.The expansi

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 88

    Serena’s POVThe countdown on my phone kept ticking even after the screen went dark. Forty-eight hours seemed terrifyingly close and far away at the same time.Staff and security remained tense, and the mansion hummed with silent activity.No one slept, and no one pretended this was nothing and was going to end peacefully.At exactly 6:12 am in the morning, the first system suddenly went down without prior notice. In the control room, one screen flickered, froze, and then went dark.Within seconds, another one followed, then another, like falling lights in a dark tunnel.The quiet hum of machines turned into sharp alarms that cut through the atmosphere.I stood motionless for half a second, watching the red warning appeared on the monitors.“Close it down,” Nathan snapped, already moving. His fingers flew over the keyboard as he pulled one of the chairs close, his face tight and pale.This was not a glitch, and we all knew it.The servers dropped one after another, disrupting access
