A marriage built on betrayal. A love turned into hate. 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 possession.

William Jakrapatr Kaewpanpong lives for ambition, believing hard work will secure their future. Est Supha Sangaworawong lives for presence, wanting love that feels chosen every day. Married for 2 years, they begin to drift one chasing life forward, the other holding onto what they already have. When everything changes unexpectedly, they are forced to face what they truly want, and whether love can survive being left behind.

Two best friends. Two dangerous husbands. Est and Phuwin never imagined marrying into Bangkok's most powerful family...but chaos, teasing, and forbidden attraction were inevitable. Mafia. Power. Luxury. And a love that refuses to stay hidden. Let's dive into the story 🌝🫠

He was never meant to stand at the altar. But the moment William looked at him and said "I do," Est's life stopped belonging only to him.

William and Est are happily married, successful, and ready for the next step: a baby. The plan was simple, Est would get pregnant. Life had other ideas.

He was his sister's husband. He was her dying wish. A marriage built on promise, not love. A home filled with grief, silence... and a little girl named Nora. Est buried his feelings years ago. William never meant to look at him differently. But love doesn't follow plans. And some hearts fall when they least expect it. From loss comes life. From duty comes desire. From grief... comes them.

Warning⚠️ This story deals with emotional neglect, loneliness within marriage, power imbalance between alpha and omega, pregnancy under pressure, and psychological distress. Some scenes may be emotionally difficult. In an omegaverse ruled by contracts and bloodlines, Est becomes an omega bound to an alpha who never chose him. William, powerful and distant, treats their marriage as nothing more than an obligation. Love was never part of the agreement. Cold nights, unspoken pain, and silent tears become Est's reality. He endures. He stays. He remains silent. Behind closed doors, a bond slowly fractures under neglect and resentment. And when silence reaches its breaking point, consequences can no longer be ignored. Some bonds are forged by law. Others are tested by pain. The question is- what happens when silence can no longer protect the omega?

Est is loved-by his parents, by his family, by a life that taught him how to endure quietly. William is admired by the world-successful, charming, careless in all the ways that never seem to matter. Their marriage is arranged for business, not cruelty. William never hurts Est. He simply never sees him. Est hides his loneliness behind polite smiles and careful silence, protecting his parents from the truth-that their only son is slowly disappearing inside a marriage where he exists alone. When Est finally leaves, he does so without anger, without accusation. And only then does William understand: absence can hurt far more than rejection. This is a story about neglect that doesn't look like abuse, love that arrives too late-and whether healing is still possible once someone walks away. only story is mine

"Love was never part of the deal. But neither was breaking each other." In William Jakrapath's world, tradition isn't questioned, it's obeyed. As the heir to a powerful family, his marriage isn't about love. It's about duty. And his parents have already chosen for him. Est Supha, the quiet, well-mannered son of their closest friends. William doesn't care. He doesn't argue. He doesn't even look at Est beyond what's necessary. Est, with his soft voice and hesitant smiles, hides his trembling behind calmness. But William notices... and ignores it. To him, Est is nothing more than an obligation - a shadow who will follow his rules, stay within his boundaries, and never cross his line. William is in control. Always. And he swears he will never love him. But what happens when silence turns suffocating? When glances last too long? When a shadow dares to step into the light? Because in this house built on tradition, it isn't love that will destroy them... it's everything they're trying not to feel. // mpreg ; smut

[COMPLETED] On his fifth birthday, William started dreaming of a beautiful boy he had never met, someone too beautiful, too familiar to be a stranger. But names were never exchanged, addresses untold. Years passed. The dreams never stopped. At sixteen, William's world cracked wide open. His first kiss revealed a family pact. Est. The guy who was never meant to be part of William's world. Yet by decree of the old family tradition, Est became more than just a stranger. He was William's betrothed. From that moment, Est became the symbol of everything William resented. An obligation. A shadow. An enemy. Even before they ever met. Neither one wanted this. Neither one expected what would come next. What if some connections are impossible to escape? What if some faces are always meant to remain a mystery? What if not?
