I Chose No One After Rebirth

**I Chose No One After Rebirth** is a mafia romance by Bagel about a woman who rejects every suitor on her twentieth birthday—and changes her fate.

On that day, her father presents courtship gifts from the heirs of allied crime families. She has known these men her whole life. He asks her to pick a husband. She refuses them all.

In her previous life, she chose Gabriel, the man she loved most. They married, and she soon became pregnant. Then Gabriel changed. He publicly dismissed her business decisions. He overturned her agreements on crucial West Coast ports. He called her too soft when she promoted loyal members. Slowly, everyone saw her as a fragile trophy wife who depended on a man.

The truth surfaced at an exclusive club. She walked in on Gabriel drinking and laughing with other mafia heirs. One said Gabriel had taken the biggest hit for them—pretending to love Kiara and humoring her every day. Another said that once she was pregnant, she had no energy left to run the family. A third said that once her sister Mila won over the capos, the family would belong to Mila.

Pregnant and devastated, Kiara went into premature labor and bled to death.

She wakes on her engagement day. Her father places the gifts of power and marriage before her again and asks which man she will choose. She looks at the diamond necklaces, gown catalogs, and limited-edition perfumes—and smiles.

"None of them."

She names her own plan instead: the West Coast business has taken a hit. She wants to go there, expand territory, and put the family back on top. This time, she intends to take back everything that belongs to her.

What she does not expect is that Gabriel has returned to the past too.

The novel follows a heroine who trades romance for strategy in a world of ports, capos, and family loyalty. Its central hook is a double rebirth: both lovers remember the first life, but only one knows the other is playing the same game again.
