Vincent's older brother had spent his entire life believing he was superior.
For years, he had been praised as the heir. For years, he had looked down on Vincent.
But now?
Now, he was powerless.
No matter what he did, he couldn't compete.
Investors no longer trusted him.Business allies sought Vincent's approval instead of his.Their father no longer looked at him with pride.
And worst of all—
Vincent didn't even acknowledge his struggle.
That was the most painful part.
How do you fight against someone who doesn't even see you as a threat?
His older brother was slowly falling apart, and Vincent barely spared him a glance.
Because Vincent had never cared about the Blackwoods to begin with.
His loyalty belonged to Anastasia —and that was something his father and brother would never understand.
