Reader discretion is advised. ______________________________________________________________________ Haruki thought marriage would bring him happiness. He had been in love with Satomi since high school, and after years of struggling together, they finally built a stable life. But stability came with a price. Satomi was always busy. Work became her priority, and Haruki… was left behind. The warmth of their relationship faded, and intimacy became a distant memory. Nights felt colder, the bed emptier—even when she was right beside him. Loneliness gnawed at him. Then everything changed when Satomi’s family invited him to stay at their luxurious home. That was the first time he truly saw her mother. Kyouko. Beautiful. Elegant. Younger-looking than her own daughter. And for the first time in years, Haruki felt something awaken inside him—something dangerous, something forbidden. Living under the same roof, two lonely souls cross paths. And as Haruki struggles with his emotions, one question lingers in his mind: What happens when the one who understands you most… is the one you should never desire?
