Misclassified

In a world where everyone is tested at eighteen and assigned a role-Dominant or Submissive-there are no gray areas.

Dominants lead. Subs follow.

Aurelian Cross was classified a Sub, despite growing into the powerful CEO of one of the city's largest media companies. He's spent years performing dominance well enough that no one questions him.

Kieran Vale was also classified a Sub-but no one ever explained his result. He was simply told where to stand and who to serve. Quiet, observant, and far more commanding than he appears, he's learned to survive by staying invisible.

When Kieran becomes Aurelian's assistant, something doesn't align.

Instinct pulls in the wrong direction.
Control shifts where it shouldn't.
And the system begins to notice.

As scrutiny tightens, they must decide whether to retreat into the roles they were assigned-or risk everything to choose their own.

In a society built on classification, defiance isn't loud.

Sometimes, it's simply refusing to fit.
