Est Supha has everything-wealth, status, power, and a future already written in gold. He's the perfect heir of a perfect family, living a life untouched by consequences. Until a single scandal shatters everything. As public outrage threatens to destroy their empire, Est's parents make an unthinkable decision-to marry him off. Not for love. Not for choice. But for image. William is nothing like Est. An orphan. Soft-spoken. Kind in a world that rewards cruelty. A man who teaches poor children under the sun and expects nothing in return. A man who becomes a husband not because he wants to be-but because he is chosen. Their marriage is a contract signed in silence. One bed. Two strangers. A house colder than the headlines outside. Est keeps his distance. William keeps his feelings to himself. Because loving someone who never reaches back is painful. But what Est doesn't know- While he's fighting to rebuild his reputation, William is fighting something much quieter. Something that doesn't trend. Something that doesn't wait. Because scandals fade. Power can be reclaimed. But love? Love becomes dangerous when you realize you might lose the one person who loved you first. And sometimes... the husband meant to protect a family name becomes the one worth destroying it for. Cold Husband × Gentle Husband Contract Marriage Slow Burn One-Sided Love Regret Arc 🦈🎸

"Baby girl, won't you help me?" William was never the type to beg. The most feared mafia king, he was used to taking what he wanted; ruthlessly, without remorse. When a bullet tears through his shoulder, he does what he always does: kidnaps a doctor, forces them to patch him up, and erases the evidence. But Dr. Est is different. Soft-spoken, sharp-eyed, and far too tempting. From the moment William locks eyes with him, he knows one thing: this one, he can't let go. Est should fear him. He should run. But when William smirks, voice dripping like honey and venom, Est feels his heart betray him. In a world where love is a weakness and danger lurks behind every whispered promise, how do you escape the devil when he's already marked you as his?
