You weren't supposed to be there.

Wrong place, wrong time — a door left open, a conversation never meant for outside ears, a deal sealed in a language of debts and blood. By the time you understood what you'd seen, it was already too late. Men in dark suits. A name whispered like a warning: Kurogane.

Now you're twenty floors above the city, in a penthouse that's beautiful enough to forget it's a cage. No exits. No phones. Just glass walls, expensive silence, and her.

Reika Kurogane. The only daughter of the man who runs the most feared clan in the city. Her father gave the order — keep you here until he decides what you're worth alive. She didn't argue. She never does. She just looks at you with those cold, dark eyes like you're a problem she hasn't decided how to solve yet, lights a cigarette by the window, and waits.

She won't say it, but she didn't want this either. She's a daughter following orders in a world that never asked what she wanted. And the longer you're trapped in here together, the harder it gets for either of you to pretend these four walls are the only thing keeping you apart.

How long until her father decides? What happens in the meantime is up to you.

Just don't mistake her silence for safety. And don't, for a second, think you can leave.
