At St. Dominics, power isn't earned, it's gambled. And no one plays the game better than Kira Timurov, the cold, unshaken president of the student council. Then came Yumeko Kawamoto, all red lips and sweet danger, smiling like she already knew everyone's secrets. One win, then another. And suddenly, Kira wasn't just watching. She was interested. Threatened. Drawn.

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

After transferring to St. Dominic's Prep, Yumeko Kawamoto has only one goal in mind: avenging the death of her parents, no matter the cost. Using her exceptional gambling skills, Yumeko begins to dismantle St. Dominic's established hierarchy, discovering clues about her parents' murderer along the way. Posing a serious threat to the the student council, she draws the attention of the President herself, Kira Timurov. The President values order and control above all else, and is willing to do whatever it takes to maintain power over the school. Yumeko, however, refuses to back down from Kira, and soon finds out how dangerous Kira really is. 💜 - essentially Bet Yumekira slow-burn enemies to lovers with moody vampire Kira and reckless mortal Yumeko. Mature rating for eventual spicy scenes and some heavy content!!!

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?

At St. Dominic's Academy, power is everything-and love is the most dangerous gamble of all. Kira Timurov is untouchable. Cold-blooded. The queen of calculated games. Yumeko Kawamoto is reckless. New. And entirely too fearless for her own good. When their rivalry turns into something darker-something addictive-they begin to play a game no one else can see. One move at a time. One dare too far. One kiss that shouldn't have happened. But the deeper they fall, the more they risk. And not every girl walks away from the table whole. In the end, the game never loved them back.

At St. Dominic's Academy, gambling decides everything-and no one holds more power than Kira, the flawless student body president and daughter of the school's ruthless owner. Enter Yumeko, a bold transfer student with a mysterious smile and a talent for turning the tables. She's reckless, unpredictable-and far too intrigued by Kira for her own good. Kira should see Yumeko as just another threat to crush. But behind the rivalry, a dangerous attraction grows-one Kira can't afford to feel, not with her father watching and the school depending on her control. In a world built on bluffs and betrayal, falling for your enemy might be the riskiest game of all.

Kira Timurov doesn't need distractions. As the icy CEO of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate and the fiercely protective single mother of a two-year-old menace in pigtails, her life runs on control-and caffeine. She's gone through thirteen babysitters in six months. Lucky number fourteen? Yumeko Jabami. A broke, brilliant medical student with a knack for surviving chaos and a dangerous inability to keep her mouth shut, Yumeko takes the job only to pay off her crushing student debt. But between toddler tantrums, power lunches, and unexpected midnight heart-to-hearts, she finds herself tangled in something far more volatile than a Timurov temper: feelings. Kira doesn't do vulnerability. Yumeko doesn't do silence. And little Runa? She just wants to stage her preschool opera in the boardroom
