The casino my husband and I ran was about to go through a chaotic police raid. Anyone who got caught would likely end up arrested. We had the time to leave. But we couldn’t all leave. One of us had to stay behind, or the cops would keep chasing us. Elias, my charming husband, didn’t even hesitate. He grabbed Mireille and left me to handle the cops, tossing over his shoulder, “I’ll send a lawyer to you.” Lucky for me, I managed to walk away without any consequences. And then, I saw, Elias, the man who was supposed to have my back, not only did escape without me, he also whisked Mireille away to some fancy resort, like they were on vacation. He looked so carefree, so unbothered. Not a hint of concern for the wife he’d just abandoned. “Think Seraphina’s gonna be mad that we left without her?” Mireille asked, all innocence. Elias laughed, that cold, detached laugh that sent a shiver down my spine. “Please. As if she’d ever get mad at me. She can handle herself.” He didn’t care. But you know what? Neither do I. Not anymore.

Seraphina’s POVI wasted no time, hailing a cab and heading straight for the big house.As I stepped inside, it hit me right away—something was off.“Hello? Is anyone home?” I called out, my voice breaking the silence.Mother almost rushed out of the living room, but stopped short, a meter away from me. Her words came out sharper than usual. “I thought you were never coming home again.”Her tone was harsh, but her eyes told a different story. I could see the tears that had been threatening to spill.“How could I stay away when you’re still here, Mom?” I replied, my voice softening.And then, she broke. Her tears spilled over as she cried out, “I’m sorry… I’ve misjudged you all these years…”It turned out that Mother had discovered the full extent of Mireille’s and Michael’s betrayals. She had filed for divorce immediately and tried to reclaim what she had given them—everything they’d taken.But Mireille and Michael had acted faster, fleeing the country overnight and taking many of the

Word spread that I had changed casinos, and they all followed me without hesitation.Life here was peaceful, though still full of surprises.Eric, it turned out, was a gentleman—something I hadn’t expected.

Elias’s POVThe next second, Mireille’s expression shifted. She acted as if she might cry. “No, you don’t,” she whispered, her eyes wide with false innocence. “You love me. Why else would you take me the other day and leave Sera behind? Why would you buy me a ring?”I couldn’t believe that my simple decision had caused Mireille to fantasize about me loving her. My throat tightened as I cleared it, speaking calmly but firmly, “I don’t love you. I never did. The other day, I took you, instead of Sera, because I trusted her with the casino business. She can handle it better than anyone. If you stayed, you would’ve caused nothing but trouble. And that ring? Mireille, did I actually buy it for you, or did you pick it out yourself and I just paid for it?”I let the words hang in the air, watching her face drain of color.“No, that’s not it,” she stammered, but I didn’t let her off the hook.“That’s fucking it!” I shouted, the tension finally breaking. “Now, before I call Evelyn, you’d better

It seemed there was nothing she couldn’t do, nothing she wouldn’t do for you.The moment I laid eyes on her, I fell in love. She was everything I wanted, everything I never knew I needed. So pure, especially for our circles. Always speaking softly, always smiling softly.Her family was complicated. Her mother remarried, and for a time, I worried about how her step-sister might treat her. But to my surprise, Mireille was just as sweet and caring as Seraphina.I breathed a sigh of relief.But recently, I made a mistake. The second I heard the cops were coming to the casino, I ran. It wasn’t that I didn’t care about her—because I did, deeply. But I had a record with the police. I couldn’t risk it. If I went down, she would be right there with me, caught in the mess. So I told her it would be better if she stayed behind. Mireille was there, after all. I figured I could take her
