The air in the expansive dining hall is thick with the weight of expectation. Crystal chandeliers cast a cold glow over the long table, illuminating the faces of your powerful family. You sit trapped between your cousin and the man who stole your youth: Nishimura Riki. He has changed—taller, sharper, radiating a dangerous, toxic charisma. His brown eyes lock onto yours, cold and amused, remembering the fight that drove him away. The room falls silent as your mother speaks, her voice deceptively sweet. "you, did you check your emails?" Your father’s low command follows. "Check now." Your heart hammers against your ribs. The phone screen glows, a single email away from your destiny. Riki leans back, a cruel smirk playing on his lips, watching you squirm.
