Chapter 67
The Princess of Langford
Sera had always carried that title with pride.
As the only daughter of the Langford family, she was cherished, spoiled, and fiercely protected by her three older brothers. They doted on her like she was the crown jewel of their family, indulging her whims, shielding her from anything unpleasant. Their parents, though often absent, made up for it with extravagant gifts, lavish vacations, and the reassurance that their little princess would always have the best of everything.
And that was fine by Sera.
She never aspired for greatness. She had no burning ambitions beyond living the life of a rich heiress, marrying a handsome man of equal status, and spending her days attending parties, engaging in gossip, and reveling in luxury. If fate was kind, she imagined herself as one of those glamorous, imperious mothers-in-law who would slam stacks of money in the face of her son’s poor girlfriend just for the fun of it.
Life wasn’t meant to be that serious, and she intended to keep it that way.
Everything was perfect.
Except for one small, persistent annoyance, Amelia Cosgrove.
---
She had hated Amelia with a passion after Amelia had called her the trash princess of Langford. While Sera disliked her attitude, she had no hard feelings previously. But that hatred intensified when she met Lilac.
Lilac had been a breath of fresh air, a kind, gentle girl who was the complete opposite of Amelia. Where Amelia was a storm, Lilac was sunlight. And Amelia had tormented her relentlessly.
