Newly single and raising her six-month-old daughter alone, Orm never expects to fall for Lingling, the quiet café owner downstairs. But while Orm falls for Lingling's kindness, Lingling falls even harder-for both Orm and the little girl who slowly begins to feel like her own.

Growing up in a family constantly under the public eye, Dr. Ling Kwong learned early on how to become invisible. Blamed for a childhood tragedy and overshadowed by her famous family, she lives quietly in the background of her own life, pouring everything into her work as a neurosurgeon where no one expects anything from her. But when an emergency brings Orm-a hard-working kinder teacher-into the hospital, their two very different worlds collide. Amidst the sterile halls and exhausting quiet hours, Orm begins to notice the silent details everyone else misses: the tired eyes behind the surgical mask, the unspoken grief, and the gentle heart hidden underneath. For a doctor used to being forgotten, Orm's gentle gaze might just be the first place Ling feels like she truly belongs.

Prologue Money makes people honest. That was something Ling had learned a long time ago. Honest about what they wanted. Honest about what they were willing to destroy to get it. The woman sitting across from her slid a folder across the table. "Our daughter," she said coldly. Ling opened it. Photographs filled the pages. A girl laughing in a café. Arguing outside a nightclub. Walking down the street with another woman, their hands intertwined. Ling glanced at the name printed beneath the photo. Orm Kornnaphat. "And what exactly do you want from me?" Ling asked. The man answered calmly. "Break her relationship." Ling closed the folder slowly. "And how am I supposed to do that?" "We've arranged a position for you in our company," the woman said. "Executive assistant." Ling looked up. "You'll be working directly under her," the man continued. A small silence passed. Then the woman finished the sentence. "Get close to her." "Make her fall for you." Ling studied the photo again. The girl in it was smiling, completely unaware of the plan forming around her. Ling stood and took the folder. "When do you want it done?" "As soon as possible." Later that night, standing beneath a streetlight, Ling opened the folder again. Orm's smiling face stared back at her. Ling closed it. "Just another job." DISCLAIMER This story is purely fictional.

The neon lights of the bar blurred into streaks of gold and red as Orm stumbled toward the exit. Her heart felt like it had been shredded; seeing Ryu, her boyfriend, in bed with his secretary had shattered her. He had claimed he only sought someone else because Orm wasn't "giving him what he needed," but that excuse didn't dull the sting of betrayal.

Orm has always hidden her deepest feelings behind the bright lights of fame and the comfort of friendship. But when something happens to shake things, will Orm be forced to confront the issue she's avoided for so long. A story through time.

Detective Inspector Lingling Kwong has spent her career chasing monsters. When a string of brutal murders begins appearing across Bangkok-each victim a criminal who escaped the justice system. Lingling is assigned to the case that is slowly turning the city upside down. While the public praises the mysterious vigilante killer, Lingling knows one thing: justice does not belong in the hands of a murderer. After a dangerous operation leaves her seriously injured, Lingling crosses paths with Dr. Orm Sethratanapong, the youngest and most brilliant surgeon at Prasert Hospital. Cold, composed, and impossible to read, Orm initially finds the cocky detective unbearable. Yet somehow, irritation turns into curiosity... and curiosity becomes something far more complicated. As the killings escalate and the investigation grows darker, Lingling and Orm find themselves drawn into the same dangerous question. In a city where the guilty keep walking free... what does justice really look like?

Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong is a road riding sensation, dominating tournaments in Canada. However, family troubles prompt her return to Thailand, where she reunites with her grandmother. Little does she know, this decision will lead her to cross paths with Lingling Sirilak Kwong, a woman who will unexpectedly become an integral part of her life.

Ling finally tried committing to something other than her career, the gym routine and a rotating roster of flings. She proposed. Her girlfriend laughed. Apparently, Ling's "I'm not a relationship person" reputation is harder to shake than she thought. Especially when her *actual* longest relationship is with her best friend, Orm, and the tiny child who bosses her around and claims "she's ours."
