“No,” I said plainly.
Zack‘ s expression darkened as he formed a fist, as if, wanting to hit me.
I remained still, I was still blind to him.
“It’s for the best, baby, trust me. What better person to entrust your position to if not your sister? She’s family,” Zack said, trying to convince me.
How did he even expect me to agree to that? He knew very well that Serena and I were rivals, and she hated me.
Hell, he knew she was the reason I lost my sight in the first place.
Why did Serena want my position? She is the next in line to my father’s company. Once he retires next year, Rashfords conglomerate becomes hers! But for some reason, she wants my corporation.

“Why are you so selfish, Lena? Do you know how that company has been striving since your accident? It’s been me! All me, making all the big decisions!” Zack snapped.
“You should be grateful I even asked. I could‘ ve gone ahead without you, and no one would‘ ve questioned me.”

to my blindness. Who would? She brought witnesses who testified against me.
She claimed to have been lucky and karma gave me the blindness that was meant for
her.
I just sat still as Sereba dressed me up in ugly clothing as usual and did shitty makeup.
She attempted to take off my glasses when I protested.
“You know I don’t like anyone looking at my eyes,” I said as I held them back in place.
“True. They creep the fuck out of me, she sneered.
