Sometimes, you just really need a payday.
Izuku Midoriya did. Shortly after being kicked out of UA for something he didnt do, he needed a way to make money but...not many people want to hire a kid with no job experience, education or even having a quirk.
He started with small crimes, holding some people at knifepoint, armed robbery and theft, a few months later, he needed some more money. With all the crimes he was committing, he wasn't making much, so he decided to rob a bank.
He used all his money to buy an AR and headed into the bank. After having the bank vault, hero's and police arrived, and they were going to hit him hard. He threatened to kill a hostage if they didn't let him walk out with the money. Little did he know, these heros didn't care about the hostage, they just wanted to take him out and get the fame. They saw the hostage as a minor inconvenience.
Izuku thought this was it. He let go of the hostage and closed his eyes. Then, the roof exploded, and masked figures came down with bigger guns than Midoriya.
It was the Payday gang.
And they needed a fuckin payday.
In a world ruled by legacy, two women are forced into a marriage neither of them wanted... but fate might have other plans.
Orm Kornnaphat is a spoiled heiress - fiery, dramatic, and used to getting her way. She's the rebellious daughter of a powerful food export empire, more interested in stuffed toys and late mornings than boardrooms and responsibilities. When her family forces her into an arranged marriage, she's furious - especially when her bride turns out to be the mysterious stranger who once helped her on a night she can't even remember.
Lingling Kwong is the definition of composed. Cold, calculating, and beautiful, she's the only child of the Kwong business dynasty and a boss feared by everyone - but apparently not including her new wife. For Ling, obedience is survival. She's always done what's expected of her, even if it means marrying a bratty stranger for the sake of business and family pride.
Thrown into a high-profile marriage neither of them asked for, Orm and Lingling become unwilling partners in a game far bigger than themselves. From chaotic mornings to silent car rides, office wars to stuffed toys invading private spaces - they're learning that hatred, annoyance, and sarcasm might just blur into something else when you're stuck in the same home, same office... and the same destiny.
Love isn't part of the plan.
But fate? Fate doesn't care what they planned.
