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 mu

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 163

    Serena’s POVThe numbers did not stop moving.They kept moving on Nathan’s screen, rising and falling in a regular rhythm that felt almost calm like I did not understand what it meant. But I knew what was going on, and that made every second feel heavier than the last. I stood behind him in the control room, my hands resting lightly on the back of his chair, watching as another set of shares slipped away.“He’s draining it piece by piece,” Leo said from across the room.Nathan did not look up.“This is not random,” he replied. “It’s structured.”Adrian stood close to the table with his arms crossed over his chest.“Meaning?” he asked.Nathan’s fingers typed quickly over the keyboard.“It’s designed to avoid detection,” he said. “Spread out small transfers that were timed just right.”A slow breath left my chest.“So we can’t just shut it down,” I said.Nathan shook his head.“If I force it, the system could lock us out completely,” he replied.Leo ran a hand through his hair. “Of cour

    Serena’s POVThe name on Nathan’s screen did not leave my mind.It just sat there, quiet but heavy, like something waiting to be understood.I stood behind him with my arms slightly folded and watched as he drew more data from the system. As the new file opened slowly, it showed bits and pieces of a life that Charles had kept hidden.“He once worked as his accountant,” Nathan said.Leo leaned closer. “For Charles?” he asked.Nathan nodded. “Yes,” he replied. “He handled financial records, offshore accounts, shell companies.”Adrian’s voice came low and steady. “He trusted him then.”Nathan tapped a few keys. “Very.”I looked at the screen carefully, my eyes moving across the details. The man had kept everything in order, every number in its place, every secret protected behind layers of silence. But now, that silence has been broken.“Can we find him?” I asked.Nathan paused for a moment, then nodded.“I already have a location,” he said.Leo straightened slightly. “Where?”Nathan turn

  • Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers    CHAPTER 161

    Serena’s POVThe change happened fast than I expected.One moment, the headlines were still filled with rumors and careless guesses about Elijah. The next, everything changed, like a curtain being pulled back quickly. I stood in the middle of the sitting room, Nathan’s tablet in my hands, as the first news reports began to spread.They were no longer asking questions. They were making claims.“Hidden Accounts Linked to Serena Valehart!”“Secret Donations Raise Questions!”“Is Valehart Hiding More Than She Shows?”I read the lines slowly, my fingers tightening a little around the edges of the tablet. There were some parts of the words that were true, but not all of them. They were twisted, shaped in a way that turned the kindness into something suspicious.Leo stepped closer, looking over my shoulder. “This is bad,” he said.Nathan did not look up from his laptop. “It’s planned,” he replied.Adrian stood near the table, He kept his composure, but I could tell his shoulders were tense.

    Serena’s POVThe phone in Leo’s hand did not stop buzzing.Each vibration was louder than the last, filling the room with a sharp reminder that something outside our walls had already begun to grow. I stood still beside him, my eyes fixed on the screen, watching the headlines grow faster than I could read them.“Serena Valehart’s New Billionaire Boyfriend!”“Valehart Heiress Sparks Romance With Cross Successor!”The words didn't make sense.Not because they were surprising, but because they were so simple. The world was already making up a story from a single moment that was caught without any thought. I let out a slow breath, folding my arms lightly across my chest while Leo shook his head.“This is ridiculous,” he muttered.Nathan leaned forward from the table and looked straight ahead.“That was expected,” he said calmly.Leo turned to him with a sharp look. “Expected?” he repeated. “This is chaos.”Nathan did not raise his voice. “It's a distraction,” he said. “And distraction is

    Serena's POVThe days that followed the bomb prank were different from anything we had faced before. Though there was still danger, it wasn't coming from behind us in the dark. Now, everything was out in the open, sharp and clear, like a storm you could watch from afar before it hit you. Every morning when I woke up, my mind was clear and I was ready to move on instead of dwelling on the past.The work at Valehart Tower became our center once again.The big conference room became a place where important plans and choices were made. There were papers all over the long table, and numbers, forecasts, and legal drafts were shown on screens. Nathan switched between files with calm focus, while Adrian took calls with the board, his voice firm and controlled.Elijah joined us quietly one morning at the office.As he walked into the room, he didn't make a fuss or beg, he just gave a nod. For a moment, Leo looked at him carefully, his eyes sharp with old grudges. I noticed it, but I also notic

    Serena's POVThe decision settled in the room like something solid, something real that could not be taken back. I could see it in the way Adrian straightened his shoulders and in the way Nathan’s eyes sharpened with focus. Leo let out a slow breath, then nodded like accepting a fight he already knew would be difficult. None of us said it out loud, but we all know that once we moved forward, there would be no turning back.The next few days were full of meetings and plans. Lawyers came and went with stacks of documents, their voices calm but firm as they explained every detail. Nathan spent long hours going through numbers and legal terms, while Adrian handled the board with control. Leo stayed close to me most of the time, his watchful eyes never missing a thing as if danger could step out from any corner.The merger agreement slowly took shape, page by page. Each clause carried weight, each signature meant something more than ink on paper. I sat through the discussions with a calm f

    Serena's POVThe crack under my feet didn't blow up all at once.It crept, thin and slow, like a quiet warning the roof whispered too late. Rainwater got into the line and made it darker and wider, one breath at a time. Before I really knew what was going on, I felt the jolt go up my legs.My finge

    Serena's POVThe room was already heavy when I spoke again, but this time the weight did not come from doubt.It came from truth pressing against my ribs, demanding air, voice, and freedom. I could feel it in my hands as they rested on the podium, in the way my chest rose too fast, in the tight bur

    Serena's POVMy fingers burned as I held onto Charles’s hand, the skin wet from rain and fear. The edge of the roof cut into my knees, and every breath hurt my chest. The wind tore at my clothes, pulling at me as if the building itself wanted me gone. Below us, the city lights shook and blurred, di
