Seraphina had declared it without stuttering and blinking!
If they truly wanted her in their lives, then they couldn't keep pretending Melissa was their lovely sister, they doted on the most.
She knew it was sudden and abrupt. It might even make her look cruel.
But none of it mattered anymore.
She wouldn't please anyone anymore. She had decided to change her fate and not suffer.
She had spent too many years paying for mistakes she didn't make and trying to win the love of people who had only used her pain to elevate their own peace.
This time, she wasn't going to watch her life rot quietly in someone else's hands.
The past was over. It had already buried her once. She wasn't going to let it do it again.
It was time to take a step forward and stand tall! And she meant it!
"Sera!" Melissa's voice trembled. She wasn't feeling hurt by her words; instead, it was fury that was crawling beneath the surface.
