보고서
The Vale family was the most powerful mafia syndicate in the New York City. And I—along with a few other carefully chosen girls—had been handpicked to join their ranks, trained from the ground up so that the next head of the family could choose his wife from among us. Wife. That was the kinder word for it. The truth was whoever got picked would become his shield, his weapon, his most loyal protector. Someone who would kill for him. Die for him. Years passed. One by one, the others fell away. In the end, only Elara Quinn and I remained. And then, Elara died—killed on a secret mission. After that, there were no more choices left. I became Adrian Vale’s wife by default. I had given everything to Adrian. And I loved him. I thought he loved me too until I took a bullet to the chest—meant for him. As I lay there, barely breathing, I heard Adrian talking to his assistant, “Don’t bury her in the Vale cemetery. My half is reserved for Elara.” That was it. Elara—who had never even lived long enough to marry him—still had a space carved beside him in death. I? I had taken the hit that should have ended him… and yet I wasn’t even good enough to be buried near him. I slowly closed my eyes. And when I opened them again, I was back on the day the Vale family formally announced Adrian as their new head. The day everything began.

Selene’s POVAnd of course, the Vales would’ve heard.So I wasn’t surprised when I saw Adrian at the Knight Casino days later.What did surprise me—was how worn down he looked.He didn’t carry the glow of his past. Not even close.I passed him without a second glance.But as I walked past— He reached out. His hand closed gently around my wrist. “Selene.”I ripped my arm back instantly. “Don’t touch me.”His eyes flinched—like I’d struck him. A flicker of sadness passed through them. Surprise, too.“Long time no see,” he murmured, his voice quieter than I remembered. “How have you been?”I looked him in the eye, steady and unshaken.How have I been? Better. Stronger. Finally free. “I’m good,” I said simply, lifting a brow. “You?”His jaw flexed. “All good. The Vale… they’re fine. Mr. and Mrs. Vale too.”Then—silence. Thick, heavy. Full of everything we didn’t say.Adrian broke it first. “I didn’t marry Elara in the end,” he said quietly, almost like it hurt to admit. “Thought you might

Selene’s POVElias Knight didn’t waste time. “Miss Selene,” he said, flashing that signature half-smile that could undo most women in a heartbeat, “your work with the Vale didn’t just make them number one in New York—it made them number one in the States.”He leaned in slightly, voice low and confident. “I’m building something here. A casino empire. And I need someone who knows what they’re doing. Someone like you. I was wondering if you'd consider joining me… I think we could make magic happen.”Elias Knight—asking me to work with him. It would’ve been foolish to say no.Not to mention—he had that look. Dangerous, magnetic, sharp as sin. A man born for midnight deals and velvet-gloved power plays.By the end of that meeting, I agreed. He offered me three times what the Vale ever did. And more importantly… he offered me respect.I was grateful. No—empowered.…Exactly one week after Adrian Vale’s engagement party, I set foot in England.Only then did it finally hit me— This was my cle

Adrian’s POVTears welled in her eyes. “Why are you yelling at me? Over something so small? Adrian—we just got engaged, and this is how you treat me?”“She was just—just Selene,” she said, her voice rising. “She was nobody. Why can’t I throw away a nobody’s things? I’m your fiancée. I’m Mrs. Vale. Isn’t that what matters?”I stared at her for a long, bitter second. “Nobody?” I said, the word like ash in my mouth. “Selene has done more for this family than most who carry its name. She is not a nobody to the Vales. Not now. Not ever. Do I make myself clear?”Elara blinked rapidly, like she couldn’t quite process what I’d just said. Her voice came out thin, trembling at first—but she quickly found her edge.“Adrian, you chose me. You told your father to get Selene out of the Vale casino entirely. So why are you throwing all of this on me now? Why are you acting like this is my fault?”And she wasn’t wrong.It was me. I had made the choice. I picked Elara. I was the one who stood before my

Adrian’s POVA longer silence followed. Then—“Yes. It was her.”I stood completely still.“I don’t know how she managed to drag you out,” Father said, his voice low, almost like a confession. “By the time she found me, she could barely stand. Her legs were covered in blood. But she made me promise not to tell you.”“Why?” I asked, already knowing the answer.“Because she wanted things to be fair,” he said. “She knew how girls around you competed—how a single moment of sympathy could change everything. She didn’t want that rescue to become her winning card. She said if she were to be chosen, it should be for who she was, not because she saved your life.”He paused, then added, quieter, “Your mother and I… we always believed Selene was the one. Not just because of what she had achieved at our casino. But because even as a child, she understood what it meant to be noble. To be strong. To be good. She would’ve stood in front of you when danger came. That’s what we wanted for you. Someone w
