"How are you holding on?" It was Yumeko who broke the silence first. Her voice was soft and quiet, and she didn't stop staring forward-almost as if she knew that if she looked at Kira, the other girl would shut down completely. "That's none of..." Kira started, but then exhaled heavily. Was there a point in lying? Yumeko had already shown her that she was on her side. At least for now. "Not sure yet. Father's angrier with me for framing him. He thinks I did it because he chose Riri, and that I'm 'rebelling' like a lost teenager." She scoffed and finally looked to her side before continuing. "Shouldn't I be asking you that question? You killed a man." Yumeko hummed in response. She could feel Kira's eyes studying her face and let the silence stretch a little longer. "I feel alive," she finally said, "and ready to work my-our-way through the rest of them. They deserve it." In a gilded world of power, secrets, and betrayal, Kira Timurov and Yumeko Kawamoto were never meant to align. One is the icy heir to a ruthless corporate empire; the other, a wild card with a vendetta buried under manic smiles. But after a murder sparks scandal and opportunity, the two find themselves sharing more than a summer estate-they share a mission. Bound by blood, manipulation, and the slow-burning need for vengeance, Kira and Yumeko form an uneasy alliance to take down the corrupt board members behind the death of Yumeko's parents-members deeply intertwined with Kira's own family. Enemies become co-conspirators. Partners in crime.

After the chaos of the first season, Kira's future in the Timurov hierarchy is slipping through her fingers-and her sister Riri is dangerously close to replacing her. Desperate to reclaim her position as Student Representative to the Board, Kira finds herself cornered by her father with one outrageous proposition: marry the school's most dangerous wildcard-Yumeko Kawamoto. --- aka the secretly married AU YumeKira fans want so bad.

At St. Dominic's, everything is a gamble - your power, your secrets, your heart. Kira Timurov rules it all from the top, untouchable and two steps ahead. Until Yumeko Kawamoto shows up with a smile too sweet and eyes that never blink. Their first bet was supposed to be simple. It wasn't. Now they're stuck in a twisted game of one-upmanship, obsession, and attraction, where every move is loaded, and every word is a dare. It's slow, it's dangerous, and it's anything but clean. One wants control. The other wants chaos. But when the line between love and strategy starts to blur, one thing becomes clear: Someone's going to get played. And neither of them is ready to lose. ------------ I'm back to writing after a long break, and English is not my first language, I hope you'll be indulgent and enjoy this story 🫶🏻

"We've decided, together, that you two will be Ellie's guardians. Not because it'll be easy. But because you loved us, and you'll love her. In your own opposite, ridiculous ways." There was a long pause. The words sank in like slow poison. Kira's jaw tightened. Yumeko blinked fast, then laughed once - soft and broken. "Joint guardians," Kira repeated, each syllable measured. "That's absurd." "They trusted us," Yumeko murmured. "Mary trusted me. Riri trusted you." "They trusted us together," Kira said flatly, as if the word itself were a curse. "That was their first mistake." When tragedy names two ex-lovers as joint guardians of a baby girl, they're forced back into each other's orbit with no roadmap for how to coexist - or how to heal. Thrown together in a small house filled with memories, they navigate sleepless nights, quiet arguments, and unexpected laughter as grief slowly reshapes into something else. It is a story about the strange ways love returns - through duty, tenderness, and the fragile act of trying again.

(Inspired by Partners in Crime - FINNEAS) Partners, that's what they agreed on last semester but Kira's having doubts, and Yumeko isn't one with answers. Or Yumeko gets invited to Kira's summer house before the new school year starts, but things escalate differently than what expected. (English isn't my first language!)

She belongs to Kira now it's all she's ever wanted

They were childhood friends - daughters of powerful men from two different worlds. Yumeko Jabami, the frail heir to the Yakuza. Kira Timurov, bold and bright-eyed, born into the Russian mafia. In the brief calm of a gathering meant to unite their families, the girls found each other beneath the stars. But time, distance, and tragedy erased everything. Now at St. Dominic's University, they meet again - strangers. Yumeko, a quiet transfer student, has been given one final assignment before she can fully claim her place in the Yakuza: protect the daughter of the late mafia boss Arkadi Timurov from those who want her dead. Kira, now the cold and brilliant campus queen, has no memory of the girl who once stood behind her like a shadow - and no idea that danger still circles her family. They don't recognize each other. But their lives are already bound by blood. In a world shaped by power, secrecy, and legacy- what happens when two forgotten hearts are forced to collide again?

Every clue led her to St. Dominic's - the most prestigious school in the country, attended by the most powerful elite families. There, she believed, was the key to reaching Arkadi Timurov, the man who destroyed her life. Determined, Yumeko transfers in the middle of the semester: a mysterious student, a compulsive gambler who quickly captures everyone's attention. But what she didn't expect was that the perfect opportunity would arise so unexpectedly: Kira Timurov, the student council president... and Arkadi's daughter. Yumeko had no idea who she was - until fate brought them face to face. Cold, strategic, and flawless, Kira had never allowed anyone to get close. Exactly the kind of challenge Yumeko loves... and would never refuse. She then devises a new plan: seduce the ice queen, gain her trust, and, finally... get to Arkadi. Yumeko has always played to win. But for the first time, the idea of losing didn't feel like a risk... it felt like an irresistible temptation. ⚠️ PLAGIARISM IS A CRIME.

"Did you know?" Yumeko asked, tears forming in her eyes, throat burning. "Yumeko, please.."
