Born into one of the most powerful crime families in Japan, she was raised to be a pawn in a world ruled by secrets and blood ties. Every decision she makes is controlled by unseen hands, every smile carefully rehearsed. To the outside world, she is the perfect heiress. In truth, she is trapped. Then there is him. Quiet, watchful, and impossibly devoted, her new bodyguard appears without a past and asks for nothing in return. He follows every order, shields her from every threat, and never questions the chains around her. But the more he protects her, the more he begins to see the cracks in her obedience. And the more she realizes that his loyalty may not be to the family that owns her, but to her alone. In a world where trust is dangerous and betrayal is inevitable, the girl who was never meant to choose may finally find someone willing to fight for her freedom.
