Bound in Silence

Nari was forced into Kaito’s world, an arranged marriage meant to bind her to the Yakuza. To him, she was nothing but a burden, a quiet shadow in a house built on violence.

But shadows have a way of lingering. Somewhere between her silence and her quiet fire, Kaito stopped seeing her as nothing and started needing her as everything.

Kaito grew up under his father’s cruelty, forged into a weapon instead of a man. Love was never part of the plan. Yet Nari unravels him, makes him want, makes him feel—and it terrifies him more than any enemy ever could.

Bound by duty and marriage, they are opposites colliding: her silence against his fury, proving that love isn’t weakness in their world but the most dangerous strength they possess.
