Power was always the game. Now, it's personal. At an elite academy where manipulation is sport and secrets are traded like gold, two forces have finally found a kind of fragile peace - a bond formed in fire, obsession, and the thrill of control. What begins as something close to love teeters on the edge of danger. But when perfection arrives cloaked in a flawless smile and a gaze that sees too much, the balance shatters. Betrayal simmers beneath velvet words. Tension coils through once-sacred alliances. And as the masks begin to slip, the line between devotion and destruction blurs. Because at Dominic's, no one is untouched by the game - and nothing stays buried forever. 🪷🪷

Kira rules St. Dominic's with ruthless control-cold, commanding, and untouchable. When Yumeko, a mysterious new girl with a wild, seductive streak, arrives, she upends everything. Their fierce rivalry ignites a dangerous game where power and desire clash. Flirtations twist into threats, touches spark fires, and every stolen moment brings them closer to a line neither dares to cross. In this slow-burning, girls' love story, trust is a gamble, hearts are at stake, and nothing is ever simple. Who will dominate-and who will surrender? 🪷 - made by it4lic, GUYS BE ENCOURAGED TO INTERACT WITH THE CHAPTERS AND COMMENT AND SAY ANY CONCERNS, i love seeing your interactions!!

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

Yumeko is completely head over heels for the student council president of St. Dom's. She would do anything, good or bad just to gain her attention. Kira would be dammed if she dared to lie that she completely hates her. They've been playing theatrics for too long, but they can't seem to get enough of each other. (Heavy Angst & Slowburn)

At St. Dominic's Academy, appearances mean everything. When Yumeko Kawamoto-sharp-tongued, fearless, and fresh off a humiliating breakup-is offered a chance to make her ex, Ryan, jealous, she agrees... even if it means fake-dating Kira Timurov, the ice-cold student council president with a God complex and a thirst for popularity. But Kira isn't doing this for free. She's aiming to win the school's upcoming election, and dating Yumeko could make her seem more "relatable." A simple agreement, right? Wrong. Because pretending to love someone gets messy when one of you starts falling for real. And secrets always come out in the end.

For as long as Kira Timurov can remember, her life has been dictated by her father's ruthless vision for their family legacy. At seven years old, she learned her future was already decided: an arranged marriage to Yumeko Jabami, the daughter of a powerful Japanese family. Summers were spent together under watchful eyes - some were bright with laughter, others heavy with resentment - until the bond between them frayed into wary silence. Years later, St. Dominic's Academy becomes their battleground. Kira, cold and calculating, refuses to be caged into a future she didn't choose. Yumeko, all patience and quiet defiance, wants only to reclaim the childhood friend she lost. But in a school where power is gambled and won at the table, every smile hides a strategy and every glance could be a wager. Told through the push and pull of the present and summers past, their story unfolds in high-stakes games, reluctant alliances, and moments neither of them can quite forget - a scraped knee and whispered comfort, a stolen kiss under drunken lights, a dare that lingers for years. As the games escalate and family pressures tighten, both must decide what they are willing to risk: the power they've fought for, or the person who's always been at the other side of the table. Because sometimes, even in an arranged marriage, you get to choose how you play the hand you've been dealt.

At St. Dominic's College, power is everything-and gambling is the only way to claim it. Yumeko Kawamoto arrives with a smile too bright and a curiosity too dangerous. Her eyes are already fixed on Kira Timurov, the untouchable student council president. Every bet, every risk, every sly smile is a step closer to the fire she craves. But in a school where house pets wear collars and losers lose everything, Yumeko's game isn't just about winning-it's about watching the whole system burn. NOTE: HEAVY SMUT. HEAVY ANGST

(COMPLETE) Four years after the heartbreak, Yumeko and Kira find themselves on opposite sides of the courtroom, and face to face with everything they never said. The love never truly left. But neither did the silence, the distance, or the damage. What begins as a legal battle quickly unearths years of unresolved history, buried grief, and a question neither of them is ready to answer: Can the past ever be put to rest when the person you lost is still standing in front of you? A slow-burn sapphic sequel about memory, regret, and the long road back to something like forgiveness.

(COMPLETE) She was supposed to challenge her. But some games don't end in victory, they end in surrender. Yumeko Jabami transfers into St. Dominic's Academy ready to break its corrupt system-one gamble at a time. But she doesn't expect Kira Timurov, the ruthless Student Council President with a collar in her hand and a kingdom under her heel. They were meant to be enemies, but tension this sharp can't stay clean. Kira rules with silence and control. Yumeko answers with chaos and temptation. Every glance is a dare. Every game, a test of limits. And when power slips between fingers and obsession takes hold, someone's going to break the rules. Or someone's going to kneel.

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.
