Haru's life had always been carefully measured-quiet, controlled, survivable. Even after losing the only parent who truly loved him, he endured. He adapted. He planned. London was supposed to be his escape. A hidden house. A prestigious boarding school. A fresh start built on five carefully chosen pillars; power, protection, influence, strength, and wealth. A perfect system. A perfect life. Until someone started tearing it apart. One by one, Haru eliminates every obstacle standing between him and his future-until his methods draw the attention of the one person he should have avoided at all costs. Now he's being watched. Provoked. Cornered. This boy-dangerous, relentless, impossible to shake-refuses to leave Haru alone. He dismantles Haru's plans, challenges his control, and forces him into a game Haru never intended to play. And somehow... somewhere between rivalry and ruin... they become something else entirely. Because the one enemy Haru tried to destroy might be the only person capable of giving him everything he ever needed. Even if it costs him everything he planned to be.
