A Short Story. Lena Schuett was born with a blank soulmate timer - no numbers, no countdown, no destiny. People say it means she'll never have a soulmate. Lena says she doesn't need one. Miu Natsha has the opposite: a timer that's been ticking her whole life, a heartbeat counting down to the moment the universe lets her meet the one. When Miu's timer hits zero, she feels everything - the warmth, the pull, the certainty. And all she sees is Lena. A girl with no timer. A girl who feels nothing back. Fate insists they're meant. Lena insists she chooses her own path. And Miu is left standing in the middle - torn between destiny and the love that might never echo. In a world ruled by countdowns, what happens when your soulmate is the only one who doesn't believe in soulmates? And what if the universe can't make her love you - only you can?

Lorraine arrives in New York with a camera in one hand, a suitcase in the other, and no clear plan-only the hope that somewhere in the city, an opportunity is waiting for her. An amateur photographer still finding her footing, she takes on small gigs while searching for something more stable, counting every dollar and stretching every opportunity. When she spots a one-bedroom apartment with rent surprisingly low for the neighborhood, she doesn't ask too many questions. She can't afford to. The only catch: the landlord lives there too. Natalie is a private chef with a practical mind and an eye always on the next business move. Renting out part of her home isn't personal-it's a calculated decision, a way to generate extra income while she builds her career. She values order, routine, and clear boundaries, especially within her own space. The arrangement is simple: shared walls, shared rules, separate lives.

She broke her heart to build an empire. Now, she needs her to save it. Miu Vongviphan is the youngest Chairwoman in the history of her family's dynasty. To the business world, she is the "Ice Queen", ruthless, efficient, and untouchable. But to secure her position against a boardroom of vultures and a dying matriarch, Miu needs the one asset money can't buy: a soul. Five years ago, Lena was the love of Miu's life, until Miu shattered her heart to pursue ambition in London. Now, Lena is a struggling florist fighting to keep her shop, The Glasshouse, afloat in a city that wants to swallow it whole. When Miu returns with a proposition, a six-month marriage contract in exchange for clearing Lena's debts, Lena knows she should say no. She knows Miu is dangerous. She knows Miu views people as line items. But Lena takes the deal. It was supposed to be strictly business: smile for the cameras, charm the grandmother, and secure the vote. But within the glass walls of Miu's penthouse, the lines between the past and the present begin to blur. As old wounds reopen and new passions ignite, Lena realizes that Miu isn't just fighting for a company, she's hiding a devastating secret about why she really left five years ago. In a game of high-stakes corporate warfare where every move is analyzed, the only thing more dangerous than the lie... is the truth. Can a love built on a contract ever be real? Or is this just another calculated risk?

But when Miu takes a rare personal interest in the guest who seemingly shares her high standards, Lena finds her cover, and her heart, in jeopardy.

Viv (Lena) grew up in a prominent family, raised to be poised, composed, and sensible. Everything in her life was neatly laid out: university, connections, a promising career at her own bridal boutique. She was set to marry Ben (Alek), the son of her parents' longtime friends. A good man. The kind of man no one could find a reason to say no to. They fit. Or at least, they looked like they did. And then came Mira (Miu). They were worlds apart. Different generations, different ways of talking, different ways of falling in love. Mira arrived like a small storm; stubborn, blunt, and impossibly charming. She didn't ask to be part of Viv's life, but it was in that unexpectedness that Viv found something she hadn't realized was missing: curiosity, a sense of being alive. And, more confusing than anything, a desire that didn't play by the rules she thought she understood.

[GP] Jennie Ruby Jane. People mistook her beauty for innocence, but her allure was never pure. It was deliberate, calculated, and devastatingly effective. Every line of her body carried an unspoken promise, and every glance was a test of willpower. A law student in her final year, she knew the power of words and wielded them like a blade-sharp, persuasive, lethal when she chose. Behind her red-painted lips and smoldering eyes was a mind sharper than any cross-examination. Lisa Manoban. A surgeon with ice-untouchable, unreadable. Her hands were steady, her heart carefully stitched shut after a painful past. Her beauty was clinical, almost cruel in its precision, a face carved in marble with eyes that gave nothing back. She spoke in measured tones, as if every word cost more than it was worth, and silence was her favorite weapon. While others sought warmth, Lisa offered only cold truth, her gaze dissecting people the way her scalpel did flesh. Together, they make the perfect storm- temptation and control, fire and ice, heat and emptiness. Can they turn the storm into a perfect weather? Or will the storm keeps swirling around?
