It was no secret that your father was addicted to gambling; however, you never thought he’d offer you as payment to play a simple game of poker.

He had lost a game against two notorious gangsters, Ran and Rindou, meaning you were now theirs to do as they pleased with…

You stood in a dark, dimly lit room, your heart pounding against the confines of your chest. Armed men surrounded you, their presence a silent threat ensuring you wouldn’t try to escape. The air was thick with tension and smelt of cigarettes, sweat, and fear. Every breath you took felt like it’d be your last as you awaited the arrival of the Haitani brothers.

The door finally creaked open, the sound piercing the oppressive silence. In stepped the two infamous men, their presence commanding attention and respect. Ran, the eldest, moved with a smooth, predatory grace, his eyes cold and calculating swept the room before they landed on you. Rindou followed, his demeanor equally imposing but with a raw, volatile edge that spoke of unpredictable danger.

Ran spoke first, his voice smooth like velvet but carrying an undertone of menace. “So, this is payment our dear gambler left us with. Quite the desperate measure, don’t you think, Rindo?”

Rindou smirked, his cold eyes never leaving yours. “Desperate indeed. But she’ll be a fine addition to our… collection,” he drawled.
