Kanao Final Selection

Isadora didn’t want to come to Ashwyck Academy. It wasn’t the haunting towers or the iron gates that unnerved her. It wasn’t the students—dark, beautiful, terrifying things cloaked in magic and menace. It was what it meant. Coming here was a last resort. A whispered admission from her parents that something was wrong with her. That despite being born of a temptress and a mind-bending killer, despite all the bloodlines and rituals and whispered prophecies—Isadora was still painfully, tragically human. She was quiet, clever, and careful. Not powerful. Not wicked. Not like the others. Her parents called it “late blooming.” The High Table called it “defective.” But no one said it out loud. Instead, they tucked her into Ashwyck like a final gamble and hoped the academy could awaken whatever dark inheritance slumbered beneath her skin. She hadn’t wanted to come. She still doesn’t belong. But Ashwyck has its own secrets. And Isadora is about to discover that the parts of her she’s most afraid of are the ones they’ve been waiting for.

It all begins with a clash and unfolds into a heartbreaking love entangled in secrets, status, and fate. Cairo Zeidan Altamirano, a promising third-year medical student at the prestigious Aurelia University of Medicine, finds himself unexpectedly at Casa Estrella University for a collaborative project between future doctors, engineers, and architects. There, he crosses paths with Aerisla Celeste Valmonte, a sharp-witted fourth-year architecture student—under less than ideal circumstances: a petty argument over a can of coffee. Their friction sets the stage for a fiery partnership as Aerisla, the team leader, is forced to work closely with the aloof and enigmatic Cairo. What begins as mutual disdain slowly melts into something far deeper, more dangerous. But just as a fragile love begins to bloom, Aerisla discovers she is carrying Cairo's child, only to be silenced by a cruel twist of fate. Cairo, it turns out, is no ordinary medical student. He is the heir to the empire behind the Altamirano name, and bound by family tradition to marry before his final year begins. Love was never part of the plan. But neither was goodbye.

I'm going to die. In the eyes of the underworld, I was a sinner. My death would be a final, cursed dishonor. But even with the Ricci family in ruins, I was still the noble Principessa. The Ricci pride in my blood would not allow my body to fall into the hands of a rival Family. Humiliation. Desecration. Photographs flaunted for all to see. I didn't much care if my body became a trophy to celebrate their victory. But if the world knew the last of the Ricci bloodline had become a plaything for our enemies, it would be a disgrace to the entire Family. After weighing my options, I dragged my broken body to the turf of my ex-boyfriend, the man I'd left seven years ago, now the Don of the Falcone family. "After I die, I need you to handle my body." He was silent for a long moment, then let out a cold laugh. "Of course. I'll sink you in the Hudson River with a tombstone tied to your feet, engraved with the name of your filthy family."

En mi vida pasada, mi hermano, solo porque su amante dijo que quería ver una lluvia de estrellas, se llevó a todos sus guardaespaldas y manejó hasta las afueras para armarle una noche bajo las estrellas. Ni se lo esperaba, pero los enemigos que mi hermano había jodido aprovecharon la oportunidad, y se metieron a la casa queriendo acabarnos por venganza. Mi madre luchó a muerte para protegerme, quedando fatalmente herida, debatiéndose entre la vida y la muerte. Llamé mil veces al celular de mi hermano, rogándole que se regresara cuanto antes para rescatarnos. Al final, no le quedó más remedio que regresar con sus guardaespaldas. Atraparon a los enemigos, pero de las afueras llegaron noticias horribles. La amante de mi hermano había dejado una carta de despedida, y no se sabía si seguía viva o no. En la carta me echaba la culpa a mí, decía que yo había alejado a mi hermano a propósito, y que por eso los enemigos la habían torturado, y al final se había suicidado. Mi hermano, bien frío, quemó su carta y me dijo que no le diera tantas vueltas. Después del incidente, culparon a mi hermano, y mi padre prometió dejarme a mí el manejo de la empresa familiar. Pero, después de que se acabó la cena de celebración, mi hermano me asesinó cruelmente en mi recámara. Con cara de nada, me dijo con frialdad: —Alguien tan malvada como tú ya debería haberse muerto hace mucho. ¡Tú eres la que debería estar muerta, y el derecho de heredar la familia también debería ser mío! Morí con los ojos abiertos, y, cuando «volví en mí», afuera de la mansión se oía cómo los enemigos forzaban la puerta.
