Yumeko Jabami has everything - a perfect fiancé, a powerful family, and a future the world envies. But none of it feels like hers.
Then she meets Kira Timurov. Elegant, guarded, and quietly magnetic, Kira is everything Yumeko was never allowed to want. Their connection is immediate. And impossible.
What begins as a spark deepens into something neither of them can name - something that asks Yumeko to risk everything she's ever known. But love this real doesn't come without consequences. And silence, once chosen, is hard to take back.
Told across cities, letters, and late-night confessions, this is a story about first love, impossible choices, and the long road back to the person who sees you clearly.
A slow-burn sapphic romance about yearning, legacy, and the kind of love that keeps finding its way home.

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
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
