During Family Dinner, Sister Got The Penthouse—I Got A Secret Call

The Wellington family estate loomed before me as my driver pulled up to the iron gates. Marcus, our family butler for twenty years, buzzed us through with the usual formality. I smoothed my simple black Burberry dress—an understated piece that cost more than my sister's monthly shopping allowance, not that any of them would recognize it.
"Miss Sofia," Marcus greeted me at the door, his eyes crinkling with genuine warmth. He'd always been kind to me, even after I'd supposedly "failed" the family expectations. "They're gathering in the main dining room."
The house smelled of Mother's favorite orchids and Chef Anton's signature beef Wellington—a dish he'd pointedly named after our family, though the irony was lost on them. My heels clicked against the marble floors as I made my way through the mansion's east wing.
I paused before the dining room's double doors, checking my phone one last time. Everything was in place. My COO's message confirmed: "Final contracts prepared. Waiting for your signal."
"Sofia! You're late." Mother's voice cut through my thoughts as I entered. She sat at her usual place, draped in Cartier jewelry and disappointment. "And wearing the same dress as last time? Darling, if you're struggling, you could have asked—"
"I manage, Mother." I took my seat, noting how they'd placed me at the far end, away from Victoria's place of honor near Father.
Victoria swept in moments later, her entrance perfectly timed as always. Her Valentino dress probably cost as much as one of my smaller property acquisitions. "Everyone's here! Perfect timing—Thomas and I just finished viewing the penthouse again. It's absolutely divine."
Thomas Morrison—her fiancé and the senator's son—followed behind her, his politician's smile firmly in place. He'd never liked me, especially after I'd declined his advances three years ago, before he'd set his sights on Victoria.
