Ling Kwong has built her empire on discipline, loyalty, and protection. As the CEO of the most elite bodyguard company in the country, she has shielded politicians, celebrities, and business moguls. But nothing could prepare her for the quiet, devastating beauty of Orm Kornnaphat-the fiancée of the Prime Minister. Orm should have lived a fairytale. Instead, she's trapped in a nightmare. Bound to a powerful man not by love but by her parents' debt, her days are filled with bruises hidden beneath silk dresses and dreams stripped from her hands. Painting-her only escape-has been forbidden. Her voice, silenced. Her spirit, caged. When Ling is hired to protect Orm, she expects another high-profile assignment. What she finds instead is a woman with haunted eyes and a tender heart. Slowly, painfully, Ling uncovers the truth: Orm is being broken by the very man who claims to love her. But between hushed confessions, lingering touches, and the safety of Ling's unwavering presence, something begins to bloom-something forbidden, reckless, and undeniable. As the walls close in, Ling must choose: follow the rules and guard Orm from a distance... or risk everything-her career, her company, her life-to save the woman she's falling for. In a world where power is everything, love might just be the most dangerous rebellion of all.

Aira Valencia Alvarez never asked for this life. She only wanted to study, laugh with her siblings, and dream like every other girl her age. But fate was cruel. The day her mother collapsed and got confined to the hospital with a brain tumor, everything changed. With her father long gone, Aira carried the world on her shoulders-three jobs, sleepless nights, and the heavy duty of keeping her family alive. School became a memory, a childhood luxury she could no longer afford. Her life was ordinary... until the night she unknowingly caught her eyes. Lilith evelynn Montclair-an heiress wrapped in silk and secrets, a woman everyone adored. She was elegance, perfection, the kind of goddess people bowed their heads to. Soft-spoken, angelic, untouchable. The world saw a woman who could never hurt even an insect. But at the masquerade party, where everyone sparkled in masks and diamonds, Lilith's gaze wandered-and lingered. It wasn't the gowns, the jewels, or the laughter that held her attention. It was a single waitress in a plain mask, moving through the crowd with tired hands and quiet strength. Lilith didn't know her name. She didn't even see her face. But there was something in her presence, something in the way her eyes carried exhaustion yet refused to break, that stirred a strange curiosity within the flawless heiress. For Aira, it was just another night of work. For Lilith... it was the beginning of questions she couldn't ignore.

I want you to be mine. I want to be the one to hold you and kiss you the one you go to whenever you're happy or fucking sad. But let it be me, let me fucking show you that it should be me." He glares, jaw tensing. ...... ©hessaherophinelove
