A/N: Freen Saricha as Yim Huan

*********

Yim had met Yin when they were freshmen at the university. They became friends, and around their third year started dating. When they had graduated, Yin began working in his father's company. He became more focused on trying to please his father that he had neglected working towards their relationship. The couple always ended up arguing and finding faults in each other's actions.

On the other hand, Yim was pressurized by her father in taking over the family company as she was the sole heir to it. And when the news spread of the two sole heirs dating just for the benefits of their business, it added a strain to their relationship. This was the final push for them to part ways and deny the news. They felt it was better to focus on their family issues than on a relationship.

After almost two years, though her parents involved her in some big matters, it came as a surprise when one day she was told by her father that they would be aiding the Wongs.

The Wongs usually held the throne in the business world in Thailand. An empire big and brimming with wealth until one by one, problems rose from deep within the palace walls.

It was not a secret how many people of the Wong's branch family were waiting for the Chairman's impending sickness. And after he was hospitalized for an acute heart attack that left him bed-ridden and barely conscious, the high society knew the battle of wealth and authority of the Wongs had begun. Yet sadly, they weren't the only ones with the desire. Because many of their competitors began to join in the war wishing for their downfall.

And in the middle of it all, stood Yin Anang Wong. The official heir of the Wong Conglomerate.

Yim knew of how he was a prodigy with outstanding achievements in everything that he did. She was there with him for most of them during his university days. She knew how he was expected to lead his company into even higher heights by the time of his reign. But not this soon. Not when he had just graduated two years ago and was still in training to be the next head of the empire. Not when what his father left behind was a civil war in the family.

Yin might be brilliant, yet attaining the position everyone dreamed of wasn't easy. A single mistake could take everything away from him. Even more with the way, every of his branch family members wanted to take over the position of interim Chairman- the excuse of his inexperience as their bullets.

Every day, people of the high society would wait on the edge of their seats for the turn of events. Like entertainment was scarce, they watched the heir juggling everything thrown at him. Yet, they saw how slowly Yin was able to gain the trust of his father's business partners with his leadership and his capability, turning them to his side one by one.

Though the situation hadn't worsened, the progress to its previous state was slow.

But before he could even take a breath, the discovery of fabricated illegal transactions and corruptions surfaced. Halting everyone once more.

It was Yin's mother, Khun Chantana Wong who had approached Yim's family.

As the wife of the Chairman, Chantana knew of the people her husband had trusted throughout his career. And with how everyone was turning their backs on them the moment the reports began to show, she could only confide and seek help from the people whom she knew were loyal in partnership with her husband.

Two months after their first meeting, they had all gathered again to finalize the business negotiation as they finally found a lead about the falsified cases.

No matter how long the families were acquainted, business was still business.

It was a lie to say she hadn't expected this. However, at the end of the meeting, Yim hadn't predicted the discussion about how their secret alliance would be tied with their upcoming engagement to be brought up.
