All Chapters of Rejected By My Husband: Cherished By My Three Brothers : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Serena's POVThe tunnel narrowed until the stone walls pressed close enough that my shoulders brushed them when I breathed too deeply. The air was thick and heavy with moisture, and every step stirred up the smell of rust and wet earth. The sound of our footsteps echoed back to us in a way that made it sound like the tube itself was listening. I tried to slow down my breathing and count each step to keep my mind from wandering.My hand tightened around a small flashlight Adrian had given me, its beam shaking slightly as it cut through the darkness. Along the walls, shadows jumped and stretched, making cracks look like they were moving. Somewhere deeper inside, water dripped slowly, sounding in a way that made my skin prickle. I had walked into many dangerous places before, but this felt different, heavier, as if the past itself was waiting for me.Adrian walked right behind me, so close that I could feel his warmth in the air. Leo followed next, his steps careful but tense. No one sp

Serena's POV The following morning after the fire arrived like a normal day Everything felt thin, like the world had been drained and filled with silence again.I stood at the edge of the emergency zone as medics rolled Charles out on a stretcher, his body stiff and bound by braces and wires. He had deep scars on his pale face from the pain and smoke, and he stared blankly into space. It was like the tunnel had taken more than just his power. He used to be loud and powerful, but now he was quiet, broken, and small.Nathan stood beside me, his shoulders tight, his jaw locked as he watched the doctors work. Leo stood a few steps away and ran his hand through his hair over and over. None of us spoke, because there were no words left that could change what had already happened.When the doctor finally walked up to us, he looked careful and serious. “He’s alive,” he said slowly. “But the damage to his spine is severe.”I let out a long, steady breath as my breath left me. Not relief. No

Serena’s POVThe fire in the study burned low long after the last page of Charles’s journal turned to ash. As I stood next to the fireplace, I watched the soft orange embers turn into the quiet flames. The room was filled with the light and bitter smell of smoke, like a memory that wouldn't go away. Nathan opened the window to let fresh air in, but there was still a lot of silence between us.For a while, no one spoke.Leo leaned against the desk and slowly rubbed his back. He looked from the empty fireplace to me, like he was trying to figure out what had just happened. Nathan put his hands on the desk and looked at the gray ashes inside the fireplace. In some ways, the weight of the past felt lighter, but it wasn't gone completely.“Are you ready for the press conference?” Nathan asked at last.His voice was calm and careful.I nodded once, even though my chest hurt. From the window, the sky was bright with morning light, and the world outside the mansion gates was already waiting f

Serena’s POVThe faint words at the bottom of the letter stayed in my mind long after I folded the paper. I thought about the message over and over as I sat at my desk with Vanessa's ring next to the envelope. The address was simple, almost too simple, but it had a strange weight to it. There was something about the House of Beginnings that made it sound more like a memory than a place.Leo stood near the window with his arms folded when I finally showed him the letter. He slowly read the last line, then looked up to meet my eyes. There was a small line between his eyes that showed up when he was worried. “Do you think this place still exists?” he asked quietly.“I don’t know,” I answered, putting the letter back into the envelope. “But Vanessa wouldn’t leave something like that for no reason.” The paper felt thin in my hands, yet it seemed to carry a story that had waited many years to be told. I looked up at Leo again and added, “We should go see it.”Leo didn't say anything. He sim

Serena’s POVI lowered the phone slowly after the call ended, but I did not speak right away. Without wasting time, we entered the car and went home.Arriving at the mansion, we walked straight to where Nathan was. Leo was the first person to talk. “What’s going on?” he asked, his voice calm but alert. He had already straightened a chair, one hand resting on the edge of the desk. The tension in his shoulders made it clear that he was ready for whatever news Nathan carried.Nathan finally looked up at us. “Someone broke into Valehart Tower,” he said. His voice was cool, but the tight line around his mouth showed that he did not like the situation at all. He slowly stood up and put the phone back in his pocket.I felt a cold ripple move through my chest. “Broke in?” I repeated quietly. The words sounded strange inside the study.Nathan nodded once. “Security noticed movement in the archive floor,” he explained. “At first they thought it was a camera error, but when they checked the foot
