In the shadows of Bangkok, fearless journalist Charlotte Austin and composed detective Engfa Waraha unravel the secrets behind murders while stirring a storm within each other's hearts. On this journey filled with passion, jealousy, and the dark secrets of the past, every clue draws them closer to the truth-and to each other. But will this fiery bond consume them both?

They call her Engfa Waraha - the woman who built an empire from nothing and ruined anyone who stood in her way. To the world, she's untouchable. To her enemies, she's the devil herself. But when Charlotte Austin, an ambitious journalist, is assigned to expose Engfa's secrets, she steps into a world of luxury, deception, and sin. What was supposed to be an article becomes a dangerous game - one that blurs the line between truth and temptation. Engfa offers her a deal: stay close, learn everything, but play by her rules. And Charlotte, despite knowing better, takes the hand of the devil... and starts to dance. Because once you've tasted danger, how do you go back to ordinary love? 🖤 ~Completed~

She's the type who walks into a room and silences it with a glare-CEO, perfectionist, easily angered and impossible to impress. Life, for her, is a checklist of wins and control. Then she met her. Soft-spoken, unfailingly kind, and stubborn in the gentlest way. A quiet force of nature with a smile that disarms, and a secret buried deep in her skull-an aneurysm that could rupture at any moment. They were opposites. One ran from vulnerability. The other lived with its shadow every day. What began as a clash of personalities slowly unraveled into late-night confessions, stolen glances, and love that neither of them saw coming. But with time quite literally ticking inside her head, every shared moment is a fight-not just against fear, but for something worth staying alive for.

"Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life" It was raining the night it happened, when she realized her love was not going to be returned, she had hoped and waited but finally she had enough, she never thought she would be the one ending things but if she didn't do it who else? She had to be the bad guy, take the fall, while the one she loved just stayed silent. Charlotte life was going to change the moment she decided to leave MGI, not renewing her contract.

The Waraha family and the Austin family had long shared a close friendship, to the point where they agreed to establish a company together - Waratin Group. As a symbol of trust and generational legacy, their daughters, Engfa Waraha and Charlotte Austin, were appointed as co-CEOs of the company. However, what was thought to be a decision that would unite the two families instead became the beginning of an unexpected conflict. Engfa and Charlotte despised each other - not because of some major event or clear grudge, but rather a hatred whose origin they themselves couldn't explain. Whenever they met, arguments were inevitable. Their opinions rarely aligned, and every conversation easily turned into a quarrel. Frustrations and anger often spilled over onto their respective teams. Engfa's team consisted of Nessa, Aoom, and Patcha, while Charlotte's was made up of Tina, Malin, and Snack. The situation grew even more complicated when Charlotte hired a new staff member, a beautiful and talented woman named Lingling Kwong. Since Lingling's arrival, Charlotte became more open and spent much of her time with her new staff. Unexpectedly, Lingling was secretly harboring feelings for Charlotte. Engfa began to notice something strange within herself. She felt uneasy whenever she saw the closeness between Charlotte and Davika. Jealousy ? But why ? She had never liked Charlotte... or had she ? Things grew even more tangled when Engfa ran into an old friend from university, Jeff Satur, a man who once had feelings for her. His presence sparked yet another conflict - because this time, Charlotte seemed uncomfortable seeing Engfa with him. Two hearts, both denying their true feelings, were now confronted with one big question: Do they truly hate each other... or are they hiding something much deeper ?

In a quiet town where everyone has their secrets, two young souls find themselves at the crossroads of heartbreak and hope. Engfa and Charlotte first met as carefree friends. Life pulled them apart, only to thrust them back together after their hearts had been shattered by betrayal and loss. When they reunite, the weight of their pain is palpable, their scars mirrored in each other's eyes. Drawn by a mutual understanding of brokenness, they form a fragile bond, one built on shared vulnerability. As they navigate their own wounds, they begin to uncover the pieces of themselves they thought were lost forever. But healing isn't simple, and love can be as destructive as it is redemptive. Old wounds threaten to reopen, and unspoken fears push them to the edge. Will their connection be strong enough to mend their fractured hearts? Or will they end up breaking each other beyond repair? In this poignant tale of love, loss, and self-discovery, "Shattered Echoes" explores whether two broken souls can truly piece each other back together-or if some fractures are meant to remain.

Two women from different worlds. One bound by fire. The other, by ice. Engfa Waraha was ruthless, cold, and unafraid to break hearts. At thirty, she had everything-money, power, women at her feet. A woman who loved nothing more than the chase, and who never stayed in one place for too long. Never letting anyone get too close. Not even her own family. Her love life was a string of broken, short-lived romances. One month-no longer. Charlotte Austin was a quiet, innocent twenty-year-old-fresh from college and ready to begin her life. She had a boyfriend she loved and dreams she was determined to make her own. But those dreams weren't hers to control. Not anymore. Not when her father, driven by business, decided to trade her away like a pawn for a massive merger. They didn't get a choice. Their lives were exchanged in the name of power. Engfa wanted to burn the contract. Charlotte wanted to run. But destiny had other plans. And soon, the two would collide. When fire meets ice... who will break first?

although this can be read as a standalone story, it is book 2, the follow up to the cracks in our foundations. eighteen months has past and both Engfa and charlotte have dealt with their breakup in different ways. a chance meeting in a corridor will force them both to acknowledge that moving on would require more than just pretending, but would moving forward allow them to find their way back? that is the question at the heart of this story.

Charlotte is a perfectionist, polished, disciplined, and impeccably well-mannered. She has always loathed Engfa Waraha-the school's notorious rugby star and unapologetic troublemaker. To Charlotte, Engfa is everything she despises: arrogant, reckless, and always at the center of a fight. But when Charlotte begins to glimpse the cracks beneath Engfa's wild defiance, the line between admiration and anger starts to blur. What begins as irritation slowly twists into fascination, and soon, Charlotte realizes that the boundary between hate and something far more dangerous is thinner than she ever imagined. Rowdy Girl is a story of pride, passion, and secrets - and of two souls who were always meant to fall for each other, long before they ever knew it. ⚠️ Warning: This story is intended for mature audiences.
