Scarred and silenced by years of neglect and torment, Izuku's life changes forever the night she sells him off like property-to a man cloaked in power, danger, and smoke. Katsuki Bakugou is a rising leader in Japan's most feared mafia family-merciless, calculated, and unstoppable. When he buys Izuku for reasons he refuses to explain, it sets off a chain reaction that neither of them expected. Izuku is thrown into a world of guns, blood, and secrets, where loyalty is currency and betrayal means death. But in the cold marble halls of Bakugou's empire, something begins to shift. Katsuki, hardened by violence and betrayal, finds himself drawn to the boy he never intended to care for. Izuku, afraid to speak, to hope, to exist-begins to find his voice. What begins as ownership turns into something neither can name: obsession, protection... maybe even love. But love in the underworld is dangerous. And when old enemies rise and secrets unravel, both Katsuki and Izuku will have to decide: How far will you go to protect someone who was never yours to begin with?
