Serena made her way to the Sutherland Mansion as she had agreed with Uncle Robert. As she stepped through the grand entrance, she was greeted by the warm smiles of the Schuyler twins, Stephanie and Stephen, who welcomed her with open arms.

"Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Stephen!" Serena's eyes lit up with a smile as she embraced both of them warmly.

Stephanie and Stephen Schuyler, despite being in their 30s, had been like a second parents to Serena during her younger years. The twins had spent countless hours babysitting Serena during their high school days, providing a nurturing presence and a sense of stability in her life when her parents were too busy with work.

"We missed you, Whisper," Aunt Stephanie's voice was filled with genuine affection as she hugged Serena tightly.

"We're sorry... we only see you now. You must've suffered a lot, Whisper," Uncle Stephen added, his concern evident in his voice.

As Serena's parents passed away and her life took a drastic turn, Stephanie and Stephen found themselves unable to reach out to her immediately. It was only now, after a considerable amount of time had passed, that they were able to reconnect with Serena once more.

"It's okay Auntie, Uncle... I'm fine now," Serena reassured them, her tone bright despite the weight of her recent experiences.

Their reunion was bittersweet, a reminder of the bond they had shared in the past. Though their paths had diverged for a time, Serena was grateful to have them back in her life once more.

The Schuyler twins, Stephanie and Stephen, came from a wealthy and influential family. Born into privilege, they've never been ones to rest on their laurels. Stephanie an A-Class Omega, with her outstanding academic background, has always been a shining star in the family's legacy of intellect and achievement. Her passion for education and her dedication to excellence have set her apart as a rising star in the world of academia.

And then there's Stephen an A-Class Alpha, her twin brother, whose sharp business acumen and natural leadership skills have made him a standout in the family's business empire. With a keen eye for opportunity and a relentless drive to succeed, Stephen owns the largest firm in security service in the country.

Together, the Schuyler twins represent the best of their family's legacy – intelligence, ambition, and a fierce determination to leave their mark on the world. 

"That Vanderbilt brat must be treating you terribly! I'll make sure she learns some manners," Aunt Stephanie's protective instinct flared.

"Please, Auntie, it's not like that anymore. Charlie and I have sorted things out. There's no need to worry," Serena reassured her aunt, hoping to ease her concerns.

Uncle Stephen interjected with unexpected news, "Oh, about that Vanderbilt kid? My team witnessed the accident at the auction. Whisper was there, too, helping out. You seem to be getting close to her, Whisper."

Serena hesitated, her mind racing with thoughts of protecting Charlie.

"W-we're fine now, Uncle," she finally managed, careful not to reveal too much about her relationship with Charlie.

Stephen and Stephanie exchanged meaningful glances...

"Anyway, I'm glad you got the Sutherland Mansion back, Whisper," Stephen said warmly.

"Yes, me too, Uncle. I'm incredibly grateful to Uncle Robert for making it possible," Serena replied with a smile, though a flicker of concern passed through her eyes.

Despite her trust in her aunt and uncle, Serena couldn't shake the feeling that introducing Charlie to them would only make Uncle Robert more wary. She knew Uncle Robert didn't want her to be close to Charlie.

"Why don't you have a look around first?" Stephen suggested, sensing Serena's need for a moment of respite.

"Okay, Uncle," Serena agreed, grateful for the chance to explore the mansion and collect her thoughts.

As Serena wandered through the halls of the Mansion, a wave of nostalgia washed over her with each familiar sight. It hadn't been that long since she had set foot in this place, just since before the auction when it was no longer hers. But now, reclaiming ownership, the sense of belonging felt sweeter than ever.

Entering her old bedroom, Serena couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia as memories flooded back. It was here that she had spent countless nights listening to her parents' bedtime stories, the warmth of their love enveloping her like a comforting embrace.

Her eyes settled on her desk, where an old jewelry box sat, its weathered exterior holding a treasure trove of memories from days gone by. 

With a gentle touch, Serena opened the box, revealing a collection of treasures from her past. Among them were two delicate bracelets, each adorned with rose quartz stones, a gift from her mother symbolizing unconditional love.

"My sweetheart, do you know what this is?" Serena's mother's voice echoed in her mind as she gazed at the bracelets, her words imparting a deeper meaning to the simple beauty of the stones.

"Um. This is a bracelet, Mom! Do you think I don't know this?!" Serena chuckled softly, her voice tinged with affectionate exasperation.

"I mean, do you know what these stones mean?" Her mother's laughter filled the room, a warm melody that danced through the air.

"Isn't it just normal pink stones?" Serena asked, her curiosity piqued.

"No, it's not. This is called Rose Quartz... It signifies unconditional love..." Her mother's voice softened, her gaze tender as she explained the significance of the stones.

"Unconditional Love?" Serena's brows furrowed in confusion, her young mind grappling with the concept.

"Yes, my dear. It means they love you no matter what. Even if you make mistakes, or if you're sad or mad sometimes, they'll still care about you and want to help you feel better. It's like having a special kind of love that never goes away, no matter what you do or how you feel. Isn't that nice?" Her mother's smile was like sunshine on a cloudy day, warm and comforting.

"Like the love you and Daddy have for me?" Serena's eyes sparkled with understanding, a sense of wonder dawning within her.

"Exactly... then why did you make two bracelets, Mom? Is it one for you and one for me? How about Daddy?" Serena's curiosity bubbled over, her eagerness palpable.

"Well, this one is for you and later on, in your life, if you meet someone that you love so unconditionally, then give the other one to the other person, okay?" Her mother's words were filled with wisdom, a gentle reminder
