Ling finally tried committing to something other than her career, the gym routine and a rotating roster of flings. She proposed. Her girlfriend laughed. Apparently, Ling's "I'm not a relationship person" reputation is harder to shake than she thought. Especially when her *actual* longest relationship is with her best friend, Orm, and the tiny child who bosses her around and claims "she's ours."

Orm Kornnaphat has nothing but love to give. A 25-year-old preschool teacher and an orphan, Orm dreams of having a child to call her own.

A contract marriage. No love. No expectations. Just a child, security, and a carefully negotiated life together. Lingling will provide everything. Orm will be the mother Lingling believes she can never be. It's a perfect arrangement... until emotions blur the lines, hearts grow attached, and the contract begins to crack. Because some families are built by choice- and some loves refuse to stay bound by rules.

They clash instantly-but as fate keeps them close, resentment turns to intrigue, and sparks ignite. Sometimes, the person you think you can't stand is exactly who you need.

After seven years abroad, LingLing Kwong, the confident and untouchable heiress of Kwong Enterprises, returns home to take over her family's empire. But her homecoming is anything but smooth. She's forced into an arranged engagement with Orm, her father's fiercely independent secretary-an arrangement neither of them wants. Their clashing personalities make every interaction a battle, but behind their constant bickering, an undeniable chemistry simmers. Just as LingLing and Orm start to fall for each other, a devastating truth shatters their fragile relationship-LingLing is already married. Five years later, LingLing returns with a son and a past she can no longer escape. Orm, now a successful fashion mogul, has built a life without her. But some wounds never heal, and LingLing is determined to win back the woman she never stopped loving. With jealousy, obsession, and old enemies lurking in the shadows, will LingLing and Orm find their way back to each other, or are some mistakes unforgivable?

Orm, a bitchie and baddie young manager in the fashion department of a top magazine, has never been one for commitment or settling down. Meanwhile, Lingling, a web developer and the only daughter of the company's owner, brings a quiet strength and gentle patience that draws Orm in and pulls them closer together. What starts as a chance encounter slowly evolves into a profound love that changes Orm's view of herself. With Lingling, Orm finds someone who doesn't try to change her-but instead makes her want to change.

It was supposed to be simple: a contract, a couple of eggs, and zero emotional entanglements. Orm never planned to fall for Lingling Kwong-the effortlessly elegant, frustratingly absent billionaire who became her wife on paper and disappeared before their daughters was born. Seven years later, Orm's world flips when her daughter's kindergarten meltdown reveals a shocking twist: Milk has a twin. And their other mommy? Lingling. Back. Gorgeous as ever. And dead set on being a mother-and a wife-again. As Lingling reenters their lives with ice cream, swing-set diplomacy, and an infuriating smile, Orm is forced to relive the heartbreak of their tangled past. But Lingling's not giving up-not on her daughters, and not on Orm. Because this time, she isn't offering a contract. She's offering forever.
