Gojo Satoru has everything money can buy: an empire waiting to be inherited, a name that opens every door, and a smile capable of making almost anyone forgive him. And then there’s you. For a year, you’ve been his favorite contradiction. You’re the woman who sleeps in his penthouse, steals his shirts, knows his habits better than anyone, and receives every privilege of being loved without ever being given the security of being chosen. Satoru calls you sweetheart, kisses you like you’re the only woman in the world, and insists that labels are unnecessary. He doesn’t want a girlfriend. He just doesn’t want anyone else to have you. But when you begin to pull away and another man offers you the very thing Satoru refuses to give, his carefully controlled arrangement begins to unravel. For the first time, you aren’t waiting for his call. You aren’t rearranging your life around his schedule. And you aren’t certain that loving him is worth losing yourself. Satoru has always believed you’ll come back. He’s about to discover that wanting you, loving you, and deserving you are three very different things. In a world where everything has a price, Gojo Satoru must confront the one thing he cannot buy back once it’s gone: your trust. Some people don’t have to drag you under to drown you. Sometimes, all they have to do is make you want to stay. (🎶 siren sounds - tate mcrae)
