Nari was forced into Kaito's world, an arranged marriage meant to bind her to the Yakuza. To him, she was nothing but a burden, a quiet shadow in a house built on violence.

But shadows have a way of lingering. Somewhere between her silence and her quiet fire, Kaito stopped seeing her as nothing and started needing her as everything.

Kaito grew up under his father's cruelty, forged into a weapon instead of a man. Love was never part of the plan. Yet Nari unravels him, makes him want, makes him feel-and it terrifies him more than any enemy ever could.

Bound by duty and marriage, they are opposites colliding: her silence against his fury, proving that love isn't weakness in their world but the most dangerous strength they possess.

"In a world built on blood and power, he would burn it all just to keep her breathing." Fragile, soft-spoken, and quietly sickly, Mira Takemori has spent her life forgotten by her own family. Her arranged engagement to the Miyahara heir should have been another cold duty... until she discovers her fiancé is nothing like she imagined. Ren Miyahara is feared across the underworld-dangerous, merciless, and impossible to read. But he becomes disarmingly gentle with her, guarding her with a devotion far deeper than their engagement demands. His protectiveness only intensifies when her illness worsens and enemies begin to close in. When Ren survives an assassination attempt and Mira's condition reveals dark secrets within both their families, their fragile engagement transforms into a bond powerful enough to challenge fate itself. Love, danger, sickness, and loyalty collide as Ren and Mira step into a world where affection is rare-and protection can become obsession.

To save her family from ruin, Ally agrees herself as a maid to Dante, a cold and powerful Mafia lord her father owes a dangerous debt. What begins as a desperate sacrifice slowly turns into a tangled web of secrets, and forbidden desire-where duty clashes with a love neither of them expected. Snippet; Dante's gaze locked onto mine, and for a moment, everything else disappeared. There was no staff, no house, no duties. Just us. "I mean..." He paused, taking a step closer, and this time, he didn't hesitate. His hand lifted to my face, his thumb tracing my jawline, soft and slow. "You mean everything," he said, his voice thick, rough. "And I'm done pretending that I don't feel it." I gasped, the words hitting me harder than I expected. It wasn't just the kiss now. It was the admission. The truth hanging in the air between us. His feelings-his real feelings. I didn't know what to say. Didn't know if I should say anything at all. But then, before I could even blink, his lips were on mine again. This time, there was no hesitation. No pulling back. Just him, taking what he wanted. And I couldn't stop myself from wanting it too.
