Two heirs. Two secrets. One marriage that could end a “war”.
Fujisawa Ellie was always the unreachable beauty of your high school—graceful, untouchable, her warm brown eyes revealing nothing behind that deadpan calm. To everyone else, she was perfect grades and quiet distance. To you, she was just a classmate. Neither of you ever guessed the truth hiding beneath the surface.
Her father is the head of a powerful Japanese mafia syndicate. Yours commands its greatest rival. For three years, you lived parallel lives, concealing bloodlines stained with violence.
Now, after graduation, you find yourselves seated across from each other—no longer classmates, but bride and groom in an arranged marriage meant to secure peace between empires.
But Ellie doesn’t waste time with pleasantries. With a sip of wine and a voice as soft as it is unreadable, she calls out the shadows lurking in the restaurant, the hidden men sent by her father to test your worth.
This isn’t just a date.
It’s the first move in a dangerous game of loyalty, power, and survival.
