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

Serena’s POVThe envelope sat on the long table like a warning that wouldn't go away. Its edges were clean, sharp, untouched by dust, as if it wanted to be seen.Nathan stood beside it with his hands clenched, while Adrian leaned back in his chair, one arm still bound.No one spoke until the forensic team finished their quiet work.The lead investigator cleared his throat and slid a report forward. “The bullet casing matches the same firearm used at the gala,” he said calmly.His finger tapped the paper once, firm and sure, like a judge’s hammer. "These marks are exactly the same.”Adrian let out a short breath that sounded like a laugh without humor.“I told you,” he said, his jaw tight. “This is Vanessa,” he added, his eyes lifting to meet mine. “She’s not hiding anymore.”Nathan slammed his hand on the table. “So she sends bullets now,” he snapped. “Sending messages carved in metal,” he continued, pacing the room.“She wants to put fear into us.”I picked up the casing with gloved

Serena's POV The news of the gala shooting broke before dawn, flashing across every screen with bright red headlines and sharp voices. I stood in front of the TV in the living room, with my arms crossed tightly, watching a video of the gala where my face was shown over and over again. The world had decided this was my story to carry, whether I wanted it or not. The phones kept ringing, and the calls made the phones vibrate on tables and chairs like insects that couldn't stay still. Nathan muted one station and changed to another, his jaw tense as reporters kept saying the same things. Adrian's name was repeated over and over, followed by words like critical, unstable, and unknown. I felt a tightness in my chest every time his name was spoken, but my face stayed calm. By morning, the mansion felt like a command center instead of a home. The security staff moved quietly as they carefully checked the doors, windows, and halls with sharp eyes. Staff whispered as they passed, their fea

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

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
