Melissa's POV
I had been restless for days, and no matter how hard I tried, nothing seemed to work.
I'd stopped eating properly in their eyes, locked myself in my room, hoping they'd notice me, and would knock on my door, asking if I was okay. But no one came.
Other than my mother, no one bothered to look for me.
The more I tried to draw their eyes back to me, the more they acted like I didn't exist.
I was supposed to be the daughter of this house… the one they all should love and the one everyone praised. I did everything right and was always flawless in front of people. I even took care of the family's image while my brothers… One left home, one left his job, and the other was not coming back home!
And yet, all it took was Seraphina's return to erase me completely.
But I still hadn't given up. I watched them closely and waited for my chance.
I kept telling myself this wasn't over and I could still fix it.
