It was only supposed to be a dare. William was dared to ask Est on a date and stay with him for one month. Easy. Except Est had been in love with William for three years. What began as a cruel joke slowly became real-but by the time William realized he had fallen in love, the truth was already out. Some hearts break in private. Est's broke in front of everyone.

Est was supposed to be the villain. At least, that's what William believed. When William discovers his father's relationship with Est, he finds someone to blame for everything that's falling apart. Est becomes the enemy-the perfect target for all of William's anger. So William makes a plan. Make Est fall in love with him, gain his trust. And when the time is right, destroy him. It should have been simple. It should have stayed revenge. But William never accounted for what would happen when the person he wanted to hurt became the person he couldn't stop wanting.

You just have to read the story.

​Est was never meant to survive the underworld. Gentle, quiet, and artistic, he is completely discarded by his own family when they use him as a sacrificial pawn to settle a massive debt with the city's most ruthless mafia syndicate. Stripped of his freedom, Est is delivered like a signed contract to the sprawling, heavily fortified fortress of William-the notoriously cold, unyielding mafia boss. ​Expecting a monster who will break him, Est arrives trembling and terrified. But what he receives is something far more crushing: absolute indifference. ​William doesn't abuse him. He simply treats Est like an insignificant piece of furniture. Forced into a gilded cage, Est becomes a ghost in the massive estate, mapping out the hallways just to avoid the William's terrifying, heavy footsteps. When they pass each other, Est bows his head in pure survival instinct, while William walks right past him without a single glance. Est is completely alone, trapped in a silent world where he doesn't matter. ​But in a life drenched in blood, greed, and betrayal, a ghost is hard to ignore. ​Slowly, inadvertently, microscopic cracks form in William's wall of ice. A glimpse of Est reading by the window, the way he flinches at loud noises, the raw terror in his beautiful eyes-the innocent boy William claimed was insignificant begins to consume his thoughts. ​And when rival factions mistake William's cold silence for a lack of protection, the monster awakens. Because just because William doesn't speak to his hostage, doesn't mean anyone else is allowed to touch him.

He watches. He waits. He wants. William Jakrapatr is a quiet student, unnoticed by most. But when he crosses paths with Est Supha, something changes. What starts as a simple encounter turns into an obsession. Est remains unaware, while William's thoughts grow darker. The question isn't if Est will notice, but when-and whether it will be too late.

When his older brother Force disappears after stealing millions from the mafia, Est is left to face the consequences alone. To repay the debt, he's forced to work under William Jakrapatr - the young, feared heir of one of Bangkok's most dangerous mafia families. Cold, possessive, and impossible to read, William should be someone Est hates. So why does he protect Est like he belongs to him? Thrown into a world of luxury, violence, and bloodstained secrets, Est soon realizes that becoming close to a mafia prince is far more dangerous than the debt itself.

Est has loved William quietly for years-through every smile, every late-night conversation, and every moment William treated him like home without ever realizing what he truly was to him. To William, Est is his best friend. His constant. The one person who never leaves. To Est, William is everything... even if he was never truly his. When Est gets the chance to leave for his Master's abroad, he finally decides to tell William the truth. But timing has never been on his side. A missed meeting. A broken promise. A confession left unread. And when William finally understands what Est meant to him, it's already too late. Because Est has already left. And some goodbyes don't get a second chance.
