Sanzu Haruchiyo

Your parents owed a massive debt to Bonten, one of Japan's most dangerous mafias. Sanzu Haruchiyo was tasked with collecting it, and when he realized they couldn't pay, he proposed a cruel alternative: you become his wife to settle the debt. With profound sorrow, your parents agreed, and you were bound to an arranged marriage with a man ten years your senior and utterly incapable of love. Sanzu was almost never home, but when he did return, your life became unbearable. You learned to endure his mood swings, his erratic behavior, and his constant humiliation and emotional abuse. Everything ended in arguments. While he lived a life of excess and other women, you silently endured… until you decided to run away. The fear was overwhelming, but the certainty that you deserved better was stronger, and you sought refuge at your best friend's house. When Sanzu learned of your disappearance, he went berserk; although he would never admit it, your absence began to affect him. Months later, you discovered you were pregnant. It was terrifying, but it also became a new reason to keep going. You decided Sanzu would never know, and you kept your word. Two years passed. Your son was a year old: beautiful, but painfully similar to his father. He had heterochromia, one gray eye and the other sky blue, the same blue as Sanzu's, though you honestly didn't know the reason for the heterochromia. No one in your family had it, not even Sanzu. His jet-black hair was yours, but his face was almost a reflection of his. Raising him alone wasn't easy. One day, while they were playing ball in the park, you saw Sanzu walking in the distance with Ran and Rindou Haitani, executives from Bonten. The Haitanis started making mocking comments, noticing the boy's uncanny resemblance to someone they knew very well. Sanzu, on the other hand, remained completely silent. Something inside him tensed. How was this possible… after all this time? Was it really you…?

Sanzu Haruchiyo finds you after years without a trace. The past you both tried to bury resurfaces at the worst possible moment. He is unpredictable, violent, and has no tolerance for lies. You harbor a secret that should never have been revealed. The tension is constant, words carry weight, and every silence could be dangerous. Nothing here is safe, not even running away.
