Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers , CHAPTER 140
Serena's POVThe following morning came, but the city was still filled with fear. I stood by the mansion's tall window and stared at the fog stuck to the streets like it didn't want to let go. My reflection stared back at me, my eyes darker than usual, and my face was tight with thoughts that wouldn't go away. Charles was gone, and the silence he left behind was louder than any of his screams.Nathan was the first to break it.“They found a signal,” he said, his voice careful, like he was stepping onto thin ice. “One of the old trackers in the estate network came online last night.”I turned slowly. “Which estate?”After some thought, he looked up. “The Valehart mansion on the north cliffs.”The words hit deep.That house had been closed up for years because it was thought to be a waste of time. My dad said it was beautiful but sad, and that it held too many memories. I remembered going there with my mom when I was a kid and holding her hand while the wind blew through the trees like

Serena's POVThe courtroom emptied gradually, not all at once. People left in small groups, their footsteps soft, their voices low, like they were afraid the sound might wake something dangerous. The place that had once felt sharp and alive now felt hollow.I watched with wide eyes as they rolled Vanessa away, her body still, her skin pale against the white sheets. One of the medics asked me something, his voice calm and low but I didn’t hear the words at first. But I nodded and it felt like my head belonged to someone else.The ambulance doors closed with a heavy thud after I entered.Inside, the world disappeared into metal walls, blinking lights, and the sound of sirens tearing through the city. I sat next to Vanessa and tightly gripped her hand, afraid that if I let go, she might disappear. Her skin was cool, but not cold, and that tiny difference mattered more than anything else.One of the medics worked quickly, checking her pulse again, adjusting tubes, calling out numbers I di

Serena's POVThe sound of a gunshot rang out in the courtroom. It echoed through the room like something breaking open, sharp and loud, louder than any scream that followed. No one seemed to understand what had happened for a single moment. Then Vanessa staggered.A little at first, like a slight sway of her body, like she had lost her balance. She slowly brought her hand to her chest, as if she expected to find nothing there. When she looked down, her eyes widened, not in fear, but in surprise.Her shirt turned bright red.The room exploded into noise.People screamed, chairs hit the floor hard, and voices slammed into each other in fear. The security rushed forward all at once, their movements fast and blurred, yelling orders that were lost in the chaos. Someone knocked over a table, and the sharp crack of wood hitting tile echoed through the courtroom.Charles didn't get a second shot.Hands hit him from all sides and threw him to the ground very hard. His body hit the ground har

Serena's POVThe room smelled faintly of old paper and cold air, the kind that never quite warmed. As I leaned back in the chair, staring at the ceiling, my hands folded together, my thumbs pressed so tightly they ached. My brothers sat beside me, close enough that I could feel their presence without looking.The phone rang suddenly, sharp and out of place in the quiet.I flinched before I could stop myself. The screen lit up in my palm, the name pulling the air from my lungs. Vanessa. My heart beat faster, hard, then again, slower, heavier. For a moment, I just stared at the screen as if it might change its mind and disappear.Nathan was the first to notice my reaction. His eyes narrowed slightly, already reading the tension in my shoulders. Adrian leaned forward, his elbows on his knees, waiting. I took a deep breath and spoke.“Hello,” I said, my voice calm in a way my body did not feel.Vanessa did not waste time with greetings. Her voice came through low and rough, like she had

Serena's POVThe hallway outside the courtroom felt colder than the chamber itself, as if the stone walls were holding their breath. Voices echoed off the high ceiling, reporters speaking in hushed excitement, lawyers murmuring into phones, footsteps echoing in uneven rhythms. I walked between Adrian and Nathan, my heels clicking softly against the floor, each sound grounding me when my thoughts threatened to scatter. I kept my chin up, even though my hands felt empty, like they belonged to someone else.As soon as the courtroom doors closed behind us, the noise doubled. Cameras flashed without warning, bright bursts of light that made my eyes sting. Questions came at me from every direction, sharp and careless, each one digging for weakness. I did not stop walking, did not answer, and did not look back.Inside the private conference room, the door shut with a dull thud. The silence that followed was heavy, broken only by the faint hum of the air system above us. Adrian turned first,

Serena's POVThe news spread fast all over the city. Charles survived and was pulled from the river cold and broken but breathing. According to the news report, his injuries are serious but not fatal, and the relief I felt tastes bitter.Part of me knew survival was worse for him than death.I watched the update on a muted screen while a nurse changed my bandage.The image showed him on a stretcher, eyes closed, face calm like he was asleep. There was no fear in his stillness, even though he was unconscious, he looked like a man in control.Adrian stood near the window with his arms crossed tight over his chest. Nathan paced slowly, counting steps he never finished.Leo sat beside me, his knee bouncing without sound.None of us say the words we are all thinking.When Charles recovered, the police moved fast. His arrest papers are signed with charges stacked high like bricks.Fraud, murder, child trafficking. The city seemed to hold its breath.The trial was scheduled to be public. Th
