At St. Dominic's, everything is a gamble - your power, your secrets, your heart.
Kira Timurov rules it all from the top, untouchable and two steps ahead. Until Yumeko Kawamoto shows up with a smile too sweet and eyes that never blink.
Their first bet was supposed to be simple.
It wasn't.
Now they're stuck in a twisted game of one-upmanship, obsession, and attraction, where every move is loaded, and every word is a dare.
It's slow, it's dangerous, and it's anything but clean.
One wants control.
The other wants chaos.
But when the line between love and strategy starts to blur, one thing becomes clear:
Someone's going to get played.
And neither of them is ready to lose.

A Spade to the Heart
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.Complete
ECCENTRIC: fractured.
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. 🪷🪷
Vows of the House
At St. Dominic's Academy, where power is currency and gambling determines social rank, two elite families-the Timurovs and the Jabamis-arrange a strategic marriage between their daughters: the elegant, cold-hearted Kira Timurov and the fiery, thrill-seeking Yumeko Jabami. The marriage is a political move meant to unite two empires of influence and wealth. But neither girl wants it. Kira, trained to follow duty over desire, hides her resentment beneath icy control. Yumeko, born for chaos and freedom, is furious at being turned into a pawn. When the engagement becomes public, the academy erupts in gossip and high-stakes drama. Kira and Yumeko go head-to-head in games, trying to assert control over their fates. But amid the rivalry, an unexpected tension builds-one that feels less like hate and more like something deeper, more dangerous. As secrets unravel and alliances shift, both girls must choose: destroy the system that caged them, or use it to rule together.Complete
The President's Shadow
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 ANGSTComplete
YUMEKIRA | ACT LIKE YOU LOVE ME
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.Complete
Summers We Survived
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.Complete
