Serena’s POV

The screen crackled again, the faint static hummed through the cold bunker as Vanessa’s face became clearer. Her smile didn't look like it belonged to a person; it was too big, too calm, like she had been waiting years for this moment.

Damian tensed up beside me. I felt the shift in him before I even turned. His breath came shallow, his jaw clenched tight enough to break a tooth. He couldn't take his eyes off the screen.

I couldn't either.

Vanessa rested her chin on her hand lazily, her eyes glittering with something strange. “You look so confused, Serena,” she cooed, tilting her head. “Like a child discovering the dark for the first time.”

I tried to keep my voice calm, but I could feel my body shaking. “Enough with your games, Vanessa. What do you want?”

“Oh, sweetheart…” She clicked her tongue slowly. “It’s not about what I want. It’s about what should have been mine.”

Damian’s breath hitched; the sound was so sharp it nearly made me flinch. But his eyes stayed glued

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 67

    Serena’s POVThe world came back to me in pieces. First, there was a weak light flickering through thick smoke. Then, I felt a pain slowly moving across my ribs. As I took a shaky breath, the smell of fire clawed at my throat. My fingers shook as they touched the cold concrete.Something warm slid down my cheek, and when I lifted my hand with blood and dust all over it. The only sound in the bunker was the low groan of metal settling after the blast.I sat myself up and blinked against the haze. Pain shot through my shoulder, sharp enough to blind me for a second, but I kept my balance. The bunker no longer looked like a room. The walls had peeled away. The ceiling had broken, leaving twisted wires hanging like vines. Smoke drifted through cracks where the explosion had blown everything apart.“Damian?” My voice scratched out, soft and broken. I tried again, louder this time. “Damian!”No one answered. Not even an echo.Cold fear hit me harder than the blast had. I dragged myself t

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 65

    Serena’s POVMy first breath was sharp and painful, as though the air itself didn't want to enter my lungs. A pounding ache throbbed at the base of my skull, and for a few seconds I couldn’t tell if my eyes were open or closed. Darkness pressed in from all sides, thick and suffocating, like I had been buried alive.Then a flash of pale light rippled across the ceiling, a cold, artificial glow that hummed softly.I blinked hard.A rough ceiling stared back at me.The smell hit next. Damp and metallic. Like rusting pipes and old air. The kind of smell that stuck to abandoned tunnels or old shelters that were never opened to the air.My heartbeat violently.I wasn’t in a cabin or warehouse.I wasn’t even sure I was above ground.Something pulled hard at my wrists when I tried to push myself up. I gasped as the bite of metal cut against my skin.Bound.My hands were tied behind a metal post. A thick rope dug into my skin at my wrists, rough enough to hurt each time I moved.Fear crawled u

    Serena’s POVThe call didn't even last a full minute before I dropped my phone onto the table. My heartbeat was still shaky, and the fear in Damian’s voice lingered in my ears like a bruise that wouldn’t go away. The room felt too bright, too sharp with my brother's attention.“He wants to meet,” I said quietly, rubbing my hands together on my jeans. “Right now.”Adrian’s jaw clenched so hard I could hear his teeth grind. He didn’t turn right away, instead, he just stared at the big digital map that was spread out on the conference table. The map showed every recent attack point and strange event that was connected to Vanessa's syndicate. The red dots had multiplied since the explosion. The danger was growing like wildfire.Nathan closed his laptop, leaning back slowly. His eyes were calm but alert. “Where?”“A parking lot behind the old Starlight Mall. He says it’s safe.” My voice dipped. “And he said it is urgent.”Leo sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Of course it is. That

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 63

    Serena’s POV The estate had always been a stronghold, a place that was above the world and safer than most federal banks. But tonight it felt small and open.. The explosion outside the estate did more than just rattle the windows, it cracked the sense of safety we had fought hard to maintain. The estate halls were filled with the sound of alarms. Security sprinted across the land in dark uniforms with their weapons drawn and earpieces flashing. The private security system, usually calm and professional, was suddenly alive with frantic voices and clipped reports.The voices blurred together in my ears as I stood beside the glass railing looking over the main lobby. The explosion itself was still visible in the distance.The skyline was red with glowing smoke, twisted metal, and fire. People on the streets below ran, their car headlights flashing and casting trembling shadows on the wet ground.My heart hammered as I gripped the rail. Ten seconds earlier, Adrian could have been standin

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 62

    Serena’s POVThe mansion was quiet when we returned, which was strange considering how loud the world outside had become. The news was full of stories about the shooting in the warehouse, the tragedy involving the Cross family, and the rumors going around about me like smoke that couldn't be shaken off. But inside the Valehart estate, the silence was heavy enough to feel like a judgment on its own.Adrian slammed the front door with a force that made the chandelier tremble above. I hadn’t even taken three steps into the entrance hall before I felt three sets of eyes burning into me. Nathan stood with his jacket still on, his tie loosened as if he had come running. Leo stood stiff by the grand staircase, his hands pressed against the railing as if it steady himself. Adrian didn't say anything at first, but the way his shoulders were tense said enough.Nathan was the first to speak. His voice wasn’t loud, but the disappointment in it cut deeper than anger could. “Serena… what were you
