Chapter 7
Over the next few weeks, Silas took me in and we finally caught up on all the lost years.]]

After the D’Arcys brought him back, they were ruthless. They cut off any connection to us completely.[]

The rest of the D’Arcy family saw us as beneath them–an embarrassment.[]
So they shipped Silas off overseas and kept him there until he graduated college.]]
By the time he got back, we’d moved and he’d lost us.]]

It took him years to claw his way to the top of the D’Arcy empire and become the undisputed heir.[]
He found me four years ago but felt too guilty to reach out.]

When he saw I’d married into the Langford family, he started secretly propping them up from the shadows.]
Turns out he was feeding a pack of wolves.[]
Now he’d yanked all that support away.
“I should’ve been there for you, Sera.” |
Silas ran his hand through my hair, his eyes wet. “I’m so sorry.“]
He’d been watching over us for years, but the one time he left for a business trip, Mom died.[]
I shook my head. “This isn’t on you, Uncle.“]]

Honestly, I’d felt his presence for a while. It was pretty obvious–whenever I was in deep trouble, some miracle solution would just appear out of nowhere.[]
Silas had his people dig deeper into the fire.]
Turns out Mirena had planted accelerants near Mom’s guest room. That’s what made the flames spread so fast.
Mom was just visiting me that day. I’d begged her to stay over…]
Reading the investigation report felt like getting my heart ripped out all over again.]
Silas squeezed my hand, his voice breaking. “Sera, I let you both down.“]]
“Don’t say that, Uncle.“]
I saved all my hatred for Grayson and Mirena.[]

They tracked down the woman who’d pretended to be Mom too. Turns out her kid needed college money, so Mirena bought her off.

Chapter 7
A week later, the Langfords hand–delivered my divorce papers.[]
They were terrified of pissing off Silas, so suddenly everyone was kissing my ass.
All those family members who used to treat me like garbage started sending pathetic apology texts.[]
I blocked every single one. Including Grayson’s.[]
Word got out that Grayson had kicked Mirena to the curb and publicly disowned her.[]
Social media went crazy.]
[Wait, wasn’t Mirena supposed to be their family friend’s daughter?] []
【Apparently she had something to do with how Grayson’s mother–in–law died.] [
II always knew that girl was fake. She was way too good at playing innocent.1
Grayson kept trying to see me, but he couldn’t get past security at Silas’s place. The whole estate was locked down tight.[]
So he just camped outside the gates like some lovesick teenager, standing there for hours.]
Today when I went out, there he was again.]
“Baby, I screwed up. I know I screwed up…“]]
He’d lost so much weight in just two weeks that his face looked gaunt.]
“Don’t shut me out like this. Hit me, scream at me, whatever. Just please talk to me.”
“I got rid of that psycho Mirena, and all those staff–I made sure they all paid.“[]
I laughed bitterly.
So he’d known the whole time. He’d always known how miserable I was in that house.
Grayson flinched at my expression and started scrambling for excuses.[]
“I thought… I figured you needed to learn how to handle the staff as Mrs. Langford, so I didn’t step in.“[]
His voice got quieter and quieter.[]
“I won’t do that anymore. I’ll be different. I’ll treat you like a queen.“[]
