Two rival agents. One buried conspiracy. Zero room for mistakes. When Astra agent Orm stumbles onto financial patterns tied to a vanished black-ops division, she unknowingly signs her own death warrant. Lingling "Ghost Zero" Kwong - the deadliest operative ever erased from Astra's records.

Lingling Sirilak Kwong was raised with silence in her veins. She doesn't shout. She doesn't ask. Her hands do the speaking-steady, exact, dangerous in a way that doesn't need to warn you twice. She leads with the kind of power that doesn't seek permission. Her world is sharp-edged and quiet, and she's made peace with being alone in it. Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong lives differently-under fluorescent lights, in rooms that smell like antiseptic and the weight of responsibility. Everything about her is clean, practiced, still. Her voice is soft, but her spine never bends. People depend on her. She lets them. Because she doesn't know what it's like to be chosen instead of needed. They met under bad lighting and worse timing. A parking lot. A crude comment. Four men. And one voice that cut the night open: "She told you to move." It should've ended there. A nod. A thank you. A walk away. But Orm didn't walk. And Lingling didn't let her. Now there's a thread pulled too tight between them. Sheets. Bruises. Breathless silence. A thousand things said with hands instead of mouths. Lingling touches Orm like she's already hers. Orm lets her in like she doesn't know how to say no. It's not love. Not yet. But something hangs in the space they keep trying not to name. It lingers on the tip of the tongue, right where pretending and staying start to blur. --- --- G!P Lingling

LINGLING KWONG, a Mafia Boss, a woman of power and influence, gets everything she wants. If her desires can't be attained through peaceful negotiations, she resorts to violence. She is the type of woman who is loving and caring towards those she holds dear, but she is formidable when angered, especially when her wishes are disregarded or unfulfilled. She is the kind of woman who, once you enter her world, you can't leave, unless you are willing to risk your life. She despises betrayers, and her word is law in the world she controls. And there's one woman she wants, and she's willing to do everything to make that woman hers, and that woman no other than ORM KORNNAPHAT SETHRATTANAPONG, the daughter of the man she had killed.

They're married. They're in love. They're also lying to each other. Lingling Kwong is a construction mogul with a sharp tongue, killer instincts, and a secret basement full of weapons.

And that's exactly how it's supposed to stay.

A Reason to Cry at 3 A.M. is not here to comfort you. It's here to shatter you piece by piece through a collection of short stories about love, loss, and longing. These are the moments you replay in your head when the world is asleep. The conversations you wish you could have one more time. The goodbyes that never felt final enough. Every page is a knife. Every ending, a bruise you will carry. Read it in daylight if you must. But at 3 a.m., when the silence gets heavy... this book will be waiting.

FROID Chapter 1-20 CALDO (BONUS CHAPTERS) The Kwongs They share respect but little else. As they juggle life with their twin daughters, cracks in their façade force them to confront the distance between them. This isn't about tearing down perfection-it's about fighting to build what never truly existed-it's one of piecing together what was never whole. Not every beginning has to be perfect. Sometimes it starts as a mess and still ends up being magic. Disclaimer: This story contains elements of toxicity and is entirely fictional.
