    Summary

    At twenty-seven, Saijou Claudine has traded the burning glare of the spotlight for tailored suits, independent consulting contracts, and a daily regimen of high-grade chemical suppressants. She has built a perfect, sterile adult life, thoroughly convincing herself that her teenage obsession with Tendou Maya was a relic of a hyper-competitive youth. But perfection is a poor substitute for passion, and Claudine is dying of absolute, crushing boredom.

    The corporate world has no teeth. The Alphas in her boardrooms are polite, managed, and completely bloodless.

    When Tendou Maya—now a severe, unyielding executive managing her family’s massive real estate empire—corners Claudine in the dark wings of a theater slated for demolition, their decades of carefully constructed armor shatter in minutes. Driven by a desperate need to recapture the high-stakes friction of their adolescence, they enter a dark, highly toxic business arrangement in the high-rises of Roppongi: no suppressants, no corporate masks, and no boundaries. Behind closed doors, their rivalry becomes a visceral, predatory game of physical dominance and breathless surrender—a slow, calculated march toward a mutual ruin that neither of them wants to stop.
