A marriage built on betrayal. A love turned into revenge. Two hearts once shared years of love and later endured years of pain, now bound by vows as husbands, each unaware of the other's suffering. Between two hearts that once loved too deeply... Who will reach the other first and learn how to heal together? ***** William once believed love was enough. For four years, he loved one man with everything he had. Est. But one night changed everything. *** Three years ago, Est left someone behind. Someone who loved him enough to break when he disappeared. William. For three years William lived with the betrayal of the man he once trusted more than anyone. His family took him away from Thailand to forget. To heal. But the man who returned three years later was not the same. The warm lover Est once knew was gone. In his place stood someone colder. Sharper. More dangerous. And the first thing he heard when he came back was the one thing that shattered everything again. Est was about to marry Joong Archen. *** But fate had other plans. Because the man standing beside Est at the altar... Was not Joong. It was William. And this time, the vows they shared were not about love. They were about revenge.

Est thought love would be gentle. But what he got was William - his husband, his protector, his captor. From childhood, William had claimed Est. And now, as the ruthless CEO of a criminal empire, he has turned that obsession into complete domination. Est is dressed in silk, kissed like glass - but every moment is a game of survival. William's love is violence dressed as devotion. And Est is too terrified - and too entangled - to run. But what happens when Est starts to crave the cage that confines him? Dark romance | Psychological control | Possessive husband Power imbalance, forced closeness, twisted tenderness Gaslighting, emotional manipulation Stockholm Syndrome undertones

It was never their choice. Their families decided it for them- same condo, same life, same space. Est lives by control, silence, and order. William breaks every rule just by existing. They clash. They fight. They push each other away. But under the same roof... even hate begins to sound a little too much like something else

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)
