They Favored My Twin. I Built My Life Far Away Chapter 10
Four years flew by.I had grown from the new girl at the European Strategy Center into the head of its risk analysis department.In my first year, I worked on every one of the group's projects across Europe.My risk calls were spot on, and they made the group a lot of money.That same year, Mr. Bianchi called with news about my shares.Mom's power of attorney had ended the day I turned eighteen. The transfer had never been valid. All five percent went back into my name, and Serena was quietly taken off the shareholder register.In my second year, the project I led launched successfully and saved the group from a major business loss.In my third year, I finished my master's in financial analysis and earned my professional certification.I also became one of the youngest project leads at the European Strategy Center.I was no longer the little girl squeezed into the storage room at the estate, living on leftovers in exchange for a word of praise from her parents.I had my own office, my

I ignored his yelling. I just crouched down and picked up the oranges one by one.I wiped the dirt off each one and put them back in the bag.Then I looked up at Alessandro."Think about what?""I was the good daughter for eighteen years. Now I've picked my own path. What's wrong with that?"That left Alessandro speechless. Then, embarrassed and angry, he pointed at me."You're selfish! You're cold! I always knew it. Nobody ever liked you, and now you're even worse!""Serena's so upset about you she can't even focus on her training at headquarters. Can you live with that?""That's her problem."I picked up the bag and turned toward the building.After a few steps, I stopped and looked back to remind him."And next time you grab my stuff, I'm calling the police."Alessandro shouted after me, but he didn't dare follow.The third one to come was Matteo.It was a rainy weekend.I walked out of the office and opened my umbrella. Then I saw a familiar figure standing in the rain.Matteo was

The first one to find me was Dad.He used his connections at New York headquarters to reach the Geneva office, then tracked down my work schedule.That afternoon, I had just finished a project meeting and walked out of the building when I saw him standing in the lobby.It had only been a few months, but he looked ten years older.His hair had gone much grayer. The lines around his eyes were deeper. Even the back he always held so straight had started to stoop.When he saw me, his eyes went red. He hurried over and reached for my arm."Stella! I finally found you!"I took a step back, out of his reach."What are you doing here?"His hand froze in midair, and he forced an eager smile."Come home with me, honey.""Your mom cries every day. She's making herself sick. And Serena keeps asking about you. The whole house is a mess because of this."I looked at him coldly."What does that have to do with me?"Dad's face stiffened. Then he got anxious."How can you say that? That's your home!""

The plane to Geneva cut through the clouds.I leaned back in my seat and watched the sea of clouds slide past the window. I felt lighter than I ever had.It was like I had finally pulled out a thorn that had been stuck in my heart for eighteen years.The wound might still hurt. But at least no one would keep tearing it open again.When the plane landed, it was early afternoon in Geneva.Cool, crisp air drifted in from outside, carrying the faint smell of the lake.Someone from the family's strategy center was already waiting for me at the airport."Miss Stella. Welcome to Geneva."I thanked him and followed him to the car.Out the window, there were clean, quiet streets, old stone buildings, and the lights of Lake Geneva glittering in the distance.There were no long hallways of the Vittore estate here. No people always circling around Serena.And no one who would write me off just because I was the family's least favorite daughter.When I got to my apartment, I spent the whole afterno

Mom snatched the rankings out of Dad's hand.When she saw Stella's name, with that glaring 96.8 next to it, everything went dark for a second. She could barely stay on her feet.It was real.The daughter she had brushed off so easily, the one she had decided would never measure up to her sister, had come in first.And the younger daughter she was so proud of had only placed somewhere in the upper middle.What made it worse was that just minutes ago, in front of all these family members and business partners, she had gone on and on about Serena's results.She had even made Stella sound like a sidekick not worth anyone's attention.The whispers around them started to change."So the one who actually came in first was the older daughter?""Well, that's interesting. A minute ago they were calling the younger one the family's brightest young member.""I remember Stella training too. She just never got near the real business. Who knew she had it in her?""They didn't even know their own daug

Meanwhile, in Manhattan.The banquet hall was blazing with light. Everyone was dressed to the nines, and champagne glasses clinked all around.The family's inner circle, longtime business partners, and several close allies of the Vittore family had all been invited.Tonight was the celebration for Serena joining the core training program at New York headquarters.Mom had her arm through Serena's as they made the rounds.Dad held his glass and laughed with his business partners, bragging to anyone who would listen about how brilliant his younger daughter was.Just then, Dad's phone began to ring.He glanced at the screen. It was one of the guards assigned to escort me.His brows furrowed, but he answered without much concern."What is it? We're in the middle of the dinner."A panicked voice came through the other end."Don! Miss Stella has run away!"Dad's expression barely changed."She's what?"Mom turned toward him, already looking annoyed."What's all the fuss about? She was just be
