Melody Owen is used to being overlooked and judged due to the muteness caused by a traumatic childhood event. Working multiple jobs to fund her education, her modest world collides with the formidable power of Chase Laurent, the notorious Mafia Don of the Kuro-Kaze group, when he visits the casino where she works. Unfazed by his reputation, Melody's silence and distinctive eyes immediately captivate the obsessive Don. After a fateful encounter, Melody is taken into Chase's world—not just as a possession, but as a potential weakness his rivals are eager to exploit due to the massive hidden fortune her father supposedly left her. As she navigates his dark, bloody domain with the help of the sarcastic Julia Hozier, Melody must decide if being Chase's "plaything" is a curse, a coincidence, or the twisted fate that will either lead her to the safety she craves or the violence she's been running from.
