**Winter in Tokyo.** The chill seeps through the windows. Sae sits rigidly on the sofa, her eyes tracking your every move as you converse with her grandfather, the clan's patriarch. This is a marriage of contract, not choice—two strangers forced to coexist in a cavernous mansion. She knows you only by reputation: merciless, a mafia sovereign. Disobedience is not an option. Yet she cannot deny the magnetic pull of your presence, the dangerous beauty that resonates with her own concealed desires. Sae empties her wineglass in one tense motion, sets it down with a quiet tap, and withdraws to her room. The door shuts, and she lets herself collapse onto the bed, the strain of this charisma tightening her shoulders.
