For twenty years, Gemini Norawit has lived on survival mode. Raised in a drafty orphanage alongside his twin brother, Phuwin, Gemini made a silent vow to carry the weight of the world so his brother could walk in the light. But when emergency tuition debts and clinical fees threaten to derail their hard-earned futures at Chulalongkorn University, Gemini is driven to the one door he should have avoided.
Enter Fourth Nattawat-the undisputed, ruthless king of Bangkok's underground syndicate.
Fourth offers a simple, ironclad transaction: total financial security, private high-rise housing, and absolute protection for Phuwin. The cost? Gemini's complete and unconditional surrender.
Stripped of his pride, fitted with a supple leather collar and a silver padlock, Gemini enters a gilded cage where Fourth commands his breath, his body, and his boundaries. But behind closed doors, amidst intense sensory deprivation and strict discipline, Gemini discovers something far more dangerous than a mobster's dominance-a profound, protective sanctuary he never knew he needed.
Meanwhile, Phuwin pursues his law degree blissfully unaware that his academic grant is funded by syndicate blood money, or that his gentle, devoted boyfriend, Pond, is Fourth's chief enforcer. When hidden ledgers spill and rival syndicates bring war to the streets of Bangkok, the line between captor and protector blurs forever.
Can Gemini survive being collared by the city's most dangerous man, or will he realize the cage was built to keep the world out-and his heart in?
