Chapter 8 - SERENA’S MOTIVE WASN’T MONEY ALONESerena had her own reason.
Our marriage had become strained.
Not badly enough that I saw disaster.
Enough.
She felt excluded from family decisions.
Mom never fully trusted her.
I defended Serena sometimes.
Other times I told her:
“Mom’s business isn’t ours.”
Serena heard:
You will never belong.

A board seat in the new property company after the sale.
Paid.
Prestigious.
Real authority.

Later resented feeling financially dependent.

Instead, Marcus gave her a shortcut.
Help facilitate the sale.
Get power.
She chose it.
Again.
