MATURE CONTENT WARNING 🔞
ITT never belonged in Bangkok's glittering high society. He's just a bookstore clerk from a modest neighborhood, invited to an elite charity gala by mistake. He wore borrowed clothes, kept to the corners, and planned to leave unnoticed.
Then DAY-heir to the powerful Vihokratana political family-saw him across the ballroom.
Day couldn't look away. Something about Itt's gentle demeanor, his obvious discomfort among Bangkok's elite, the way he blushed and fled-it hooked something possessive in Day's chest.
His older brother NIGHT warned him: "Your attention isn't harmless. When someone like you notices someone like him, others notice too. Dangerous others."
But Day couldn't stop thinking about him.
And he wasn't the only one watching.
BALL, MAC, and MEEN-sons of Thailand's wealthy elite, predators hiding behind family names and expensive suits-saw what Day saw.
But they didn't see someone to protect.
They saw prey.
Someone gentle. Unconnected. Unprotected. Someone they could trap, violate, and control. Someone too ashamed and terrified to tell.
They choose Itt. They blackmail him. They shatter him.
And Itt-kind, innocent Itt-suffers in silence. He can't tell his best friends GEAR and NICK. Can't risk his modest family being destroyed by scandal. Can't fight back against families more powerful than anything he's ever known.
By the time Day discovers the horrifying truth, Itt is already breaking.
Now the Vihokratana family will wage war. NIGHT will leverage political power. KAMOL (Day's uncle) will use underground connections. Day himself will learn that protection isn't the same as possession-and that Itt needs gentle healing, not another person trying to control him.
GEAR and NICK will fight to save their best friend.
Day will fight his own possessive instincts to give Itt the space to heal.
Itt will fight the hardest battle of all-learning to trust again, to speak again, to believe he deserves love that doesn't hurt.
