I Love You
Selene’s POV
Elias 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 clean slate.
No Adrian. No Vale. No more begging for scraps of affection or being pitied by the very people who should’ve honored me.
Just me. Selene. Running her own life. Owing nothing to anyone.
My career at Knight’s casino? Explosive.
In just two years, I had turned a new start up casino into a household name–not just across England’s elite circles, but in the
underground too.
Money poured in like rain.
And Elias? He treated me with unwavering respect.
Sometimes he’d bring me into meetings that had nothing to do with the casino, asking for my opinion on his other ventures. He listened–really listened–like I was royalty.
He honored my words like they were law. Like I was king.
