BOOK ONE Happiness is a relative term in our world. Only a few are lucky enough to experience true happiness. There isn't anything anymore I could ask for about my life. I, Bas Suradet Piniwat, is the sole heir to one of most powerful Mafia families in Thailand. But there is one pathetic fact about about my life. I'm absolutely, irrevocably in love with someone I can't have. Such is a life of someone like me, Bas Suradet Piniwat, as a sole heir to one of the most powerful mafia families in Thailand. As much as I am privileged, I need to sacrifice as much.

Johan and North in Norway. They have gone far away for their first vacation but how far will they go to know each other.

"It wasn't me, Johan! Please, you have to believe me!" North's voice cracked, the plea lost in the rising wind. "Stop with the lies, North!" Johan's roar rivaled the storm, his face twisted into a mask of pure fury. "I will make your life a living hell. Do you hear me? A living hell!" The sky finally broke. Heavy droplets cascaded down North's face, mingling with salt and sorrow until they were indistinguishable from his tears. As a low, guttural rumble of thunder shook the very ground beneath them, the world seemed to dim. This wasn't just a falling out. It was the beginning of a new end.

"Don't expect anything from this marriage." Those were the first words Johan Gauntlet ever said to him as his husband. North Natchana didn't flinch. He only smiled-soft, gentle, almost patient-as if those words didn't cut deeper than anything else ever had. "...I won't," he replied quietly. Because he never expected anything to begin with. Not from the marriage. Not from Johan. And especially not from the man he had loved long before he was ever allowed to stand beside him.

The Missing Variable In a world shaped by legacy and expectation, Hill, Johan, Tonfah, and Arthit have always moved as one. Born into wealth and power, raised in the same elite circles, and bound by a friendship that began in elementary school, the four heirs have never questioned their future. They conquered undergrad together, and now, in a prestigious MBA program, they prepare to inherit empires built long before they were born. Everything in their lives has always followed a plan. Until someone unplanned walks in. North transfers from another province with a quiet confidence that doesn't try to impress - yet somehow does. Smart, sharp-tongued when needed, soft in ways that catch people off guard, he refuses to be intimidated by privilege or polished reputations. When a major academic project places him in the same group as the four lifelong friends, proximity begins to blur lines. Late-night strategy sessions turn into laughter. Competition turns into comfort. And Johan, who has always been steady and composed, begins to lose control of something he has never had to manage before - his heart. Falling was never part of the equation. But North doesn't fall easily. Guarded by reasons he doesn't share and scars he doesn't show, he keeps affection at arm's length, even as Johan moves closer. What begins as partnership becomes tension, teasing becomes longing, and friendship begins to tilt under emotions no one prepared for. Because love is messy. And when you've grown up in a world where everything is calculated - status, success, reputation - choosing your heart might be the riskiest business decision of all. In the middle of ambition, loyalty, and unspoken fear, one question remains: When the missing variable finally appears... will they solve for love - or lose everything they've built?

North is assigned to protect Johan an alpha notorious for his hate of bodyguards . But even with the threats against Johan something happens between them that changes everything. Will Johan be able to tame his feisty bodyguards? Will North drop his guard and let Johan in?......
