"Was there a lifetime waiting for us in a world where I was yours?" - Lifetime by Ben&Ben For three years, Lingling Kwong and Orm Sethratanapong had been inseparable partners in one of Thailand's most prestigious companies-an engineer and an architect constantly mistaken as lovers by everyone around them. They laugh it off every time. "Our friendship is too precious to ruin." But what Orm never knew was that Lingling had already fallen in love with her the first day they met in the company lobby as fresh applicants years ago. And maybe that was the problem. Because somewhere between morning breakfasts inside Lingling's car, nightly phone calls, beach trips, lingering hand-holding, and forehead kisses that lasted a little too long- their friendship slowly became something neither of them dared to name. Until one night, Lingling's friends finally warned her that she was heading straight toward heartbreak. But Lingling only smiled and whispered, "Maybe," she said softly. "But if it's Orm... I think I'd risk my lifetime for her." And for the first time in years- Both began wondering if maybe they had already crossed the line long ago. #lingorm #fanfic

At just 24 years old, Orm was forced to marry a 65-year-old mafia boss to repay her father's debt. After losing her mother at the age of seven, she grew up under the cruelty of her abusive stepmother and the neglect of her father. The abuse left her deeply traumatized. Fear stole her voice, and she could barely trust anyone, speaking only when she had to. Unable to endure it any longer, Orm ran away. But fate had other plans. An accident turned her world upside down and led her to cross paths with Ling-a rude, stingy, hot-tempered, and seemingly poor woman who scraped by selling vegetables and taking on odd jobs just to survive.

Lingling Kwong is the golden standard of the Bangkok Billionaire Club-fair, brilliant, and the powerhouse CEO behind Kwong Group's luxury hotel empire. To the business world, she has everything. To herself, she is simply a woman holding her breath, waiting for the college sweetheart she let go years ago so she could pursue her medical dreams abroad. For years, the promise kept Lingling warm: I will wait for you. Now, Dr. Kornnaphat "Orm" Sethratanapong is finally back in Bangkok. She achieved her dream, but the reunion Lingling spent a decade imagining shatters in an instant. Orm hasn't come home to fall back into Lingling's arms. Bound by duty and a life built overseas, she has come home to prepare for her wedding to another man. But logic fails where the heart is concerned. The moment Orm sees Lingling again, the years of distance melt away. The sudden, overwhelming realization hits Orm like a physical blow-she is still desperately, entirely in love with Lingling. Every smile they share during awkward wedding planning sessions at Kwong Group resorts becomes a bittersweet torture. Forced into each other's orbits, they are caught in a dangerous game of glances, unsaid words, and old feelings that refuse to die. With a wedding countdown ticking away, Orm must decide if she will follow the path laid out for her, or if she has the courage to break her own world apart for the woman who never stopped waiting.

All Lingling had ever wanted was a normal life. A wife. Maybe kids. A dog running through the backyard. Lazy Sunday mornings, grocery runs, arguments over whose turn it was to do the dishes-ordinary things that most people took for granted. Instead, she got a gun. A covert operations team. And a life spent killing for a government that never seemed to care whether she lived or died. After seventeen years of missions, bloodshed, and running from one battlefield to the next, Lingling decides she's had enough. She fakes her death, steals a new identity, and disappears to Japan, determined to build the life she's always dreamed of. For the first time in years, she's happy. She has a boring corporate job. Friends who think she's just another employee. And a growing crush on Orm Kornnaphat, the beautiful accountant from work who has absolutely no idea who Lingling really is. It's perfect. Until a business trip sends Lingling back to Bangkok. One accident. One viral video. One glimpse of a face that was supposed to be dead. And suddenly the past comes crashing back into her carefully constructed life. Old enemies resurface. Former allies become hunters. A dangerous frenemy from her past begins closing in. And the commander she betrayed is finally ready to finish what he started. Now Lingling must protect the woman she loves while staying one step ahead of the people who trained her, hunted with her, and know exactly how she thinks. Because escaping her old life was the easy part. Keeping it from destroying her future is something else entirely. And for Lingling, things have never gone well for very long. Especially when love gets caught in the crossfire.

As resentment turns into something far more complicated, Orm begins to see cracks in the image of the ruthless opportunist she has built in her mind. And then she does the one thing she never planned for. She falls in love with her. For Lingling, it is a beautiful kind of torture. She is holding the girl she has loved for years, yet every day brings her closer to the moment Orm learns the truth.
