Serena’s POV

For days after the party, Damian’s words would not leave me.

“You don’t know who your brothers really are.”

They kept coming back to me at the strangest times, like when the house was empty and the moonlight was shining through my window. I even thought that my image in the mirror was questioning me. I told myself over and over that it was ridiculous. He was lying. Damian always lied. That was his nature.

But doubt is a whisper that once heard, it never truly fades.

I woke one morning to find the mansion in its usual rhythm. There was the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the air, the sound of staff moving around in the background, and the faint click of Nathan's keyboard from the lounge downstairs. Everything looked normal. Too normal.

As usual, Adrian was in his study. Even though his door was shut, light crept out through the crack below it. These days he has been locking it more. Before, I used to just walk in without knocking. Now, seeing that locked handle mad

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 85

    Serena’s POVThe hospital room smelled antiseptic, and machines beeped in a slow, steady beat. Adrian, who was pale but alive, lay on the bed with a tight mouth as the doctor finished looking at his arm. I stood by the window and shook my hands together to stop it from shaking. I felt like every noise in the room was too loud and cutting into my chest.The doctor, after clearing his throat, spoke in a cool and careful way. He said that the bullet missed important bones but hurt nerves in Adrian's arm. He said that movement would come back with rest and regular exercise, but it would take a while. His words hit like stones, heavy and sharp, one after the other.Adrian nodded once, unafraid and unfazed. He thanked the doctor and asked simple questions about how often he would go to therapy and what he could do to manage his pain. I watched him closely and thought, How can he stay so calm when everything feels broken? The room became quiet again after the doctor left.I finally t

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 84

    Serena's POVThe music softened as I stepped forward, the lights warm on my face and too bright to hide behind. Crystal glasses stopped in the air, and silence spread across the hall. I placed my hands on the podium, steady enough for the crowd, even though I felt tightness in my heart. That was when the chill ran down my spine, sharp and sudden, like someone had whispered my name from behind.I raised my eyes and looked over the many gowns and dark suits, smiling faces and polished masks. A woman dressed in silver stood near the far pillar. She was partly covered by shadow and silk drapes. She was calm, with her head tilted and an out-of-place smile on her lips. Vanessa met my gaze without surprise, as if she had been waiting for this moment.I did not freeze, even though every part of me wanted to. I did not call her out or let my voice shake. Instead, I leaned closer to the microphone and let the room hear me breathe before I spoke. The speech I had planned faded, replaced by some

    Serena's POVThe morning Valehart Tower reopened felt different from any other day I had known.The clean, tall glass walls shone in the sun as if they had been freed from months of fear.Cars filled the street, with quiet engines, as if the city was holding its breath.Inside the lobby, soft music played while staff stood straighter than usual.I stepped out of the elevator with Adrian, Nathan, and Leo beside me.Their presence felt like a wall, strong and unbroken, even though none of us smiled.As soon as the doors opened, there were flashes from cameras like flashing lightsI walked ahead without stopping, holding my chin up.The boardroom was full when we entered, every seat taken.Men and women in dark suits turned to look at me. Some of them looked at me with respect, and others looked at me with suspicion.The long table reflected my image back at me, steady and calm on the surface. I took my seat at the head without waiting for permission.Nathan cleared his throat, the sound

    Serena’s POVThe world came back to me in pieces, not all at once.First there was a steady beep, slow and sharp, like a clock that refused to stop. Then, a thick, cold smell of clean sheets and medicine filled my nose.When I opened my eyes, a bright white light was shining down on me.My arm throbbed before I even tried to move it. From my wrist to my shoulder, there was a deep, heavy, burning pain. I was wrapped in clean bandages that were tight and held everything in placeI let out a soft sound before I could stop myself.A chair scraped close to the bed. Someone stood up quickly, knocking into the side table. I slowly turned my head, and the edges of my sight were still blurry.Damian stood there, pale, eyes red, hands shaking at his sides.He looked like he had been awake all night. His hair was messy, his tie was missing, and his shirt was wrinkled.The strong, sharp man I knew looked worn out and hollow.For once, his face had no mask left to hide behind."You're awake," he s

    Serena's POVDamian did not even look at me as this went on, and that alone made the air around the table feel heavier than it already was. His face was blank, like a cold stone, the kind he used whenever he wanted to show he was heartless. Vanessa leaned back in her chair with a smile, as if she had already won. It felt like I was just seconds away from losing everything I had ever fought to protect. My fingers tightened on the pen in front of me, yet I kept my face steady, refusing to give her the pleasure of seeing me breakVanessa tapped her long nails on the shiny table, her eyes glowing with a warning she didn’t bother to hide. She pushed a stack of contract papers toward me as if she were offering a piece of candy instead of a trap. “Sign it, little sister,” she said softly, every word dripping with poison that only I could taste. “Let's not make this hard.”I only watched her and didn't move. Her smile made it look like she thought she would get away with everything again: al

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 80

    Serena’s POVThe morning felt heavy, like the sky was holding its breath as I stood beside Adrian in the control room. He was staring at the digital charts on the screen, his jaw tight, his fingers tapping fast on the table. Nathan stood behind him, looking pale as he read through a document that had just been sent to our servers. I stayed close, heart racing, waiting for them to say something. The silence between us was louder than any sound.Adrian finally breathed out and quickly pushed the screen toward me. The chart showed a flow of funds leaving our companies, joining one huge account under an unknown name. Nathan explained in a calm yet strained voice that the dummy company belonged to the same syndicate Vanessa had been working with. My stomach twisted as I realized how big this had become, how far she had grown her web in the dark. As the truth hit me, I grabbed the edge of the desk because it hurt so much.Nathan rubbed his forehead and said Vanessa had already filed documen
