They threw me to the wolves. They didn’t realize I’d marry the apex predator.
I was the perfect political daughter. A junior prosecutor with an immaculate reputation, bred for absolute obedience. Until one viral photograph of me standing in a blood-splattered alleyway next to Tokyo’s most notorious Yakuza executioner shredded my life overnight. My corrupt father disowned me to save his election. High society cast me out. I was left in the rain with nothing.
Then the monster from the photograph pulled up in a bulletproof car with a terrifying, boyish smile and a chaotic proposition: Marry me.
Kazuki Sato is a documented psychopath. He controls the city’s illicit firearms trade, lacks human empathy, and hums cheerful tunes while painting the streets crimson. He needs a squeaky-clean legal shield to protect his empire from the police. I need a battering ram to personally destroy the men who ruined me.
It is supposed to be a strictly business arrangement. A fake marriage forged in blood and blackmail.
But there is nothing convenient about the way he looks at me. Locked in his neon-lit penthouse, surrounded by weapons and violence, the suffocating tension between us begins to violently snap. Kazuki doesn’t want my obedience; he wants to shatter my porcelain cage. He presses loaded guns into my hands and whispers that a good girl needs to learn how to bite back.
He is a mass murderer who views me as his absolute, untouchable property. And the most terrifying realization isn’t that I’m sharing a bed with a villain… it’s that in the arms of a psychopath, I have never felt so entirely safe.
