Ling Kwong has built her empire on discipline, loyalty, and protection. As the CEO of the most elite bodyguard company in the country, she has shielded politicians, celebrities, and business moguls. But nothing could prepare her for the quiet, devastating beauty of Orm Kornnaphat-the fiancée of the Prime Minister. Orm should have lived a fairytale. Instead, she's trapped in a nightmare. Bound to a powerful man not by love but by her parents' debt, her days are filled with bruises hidden beneath silk dresses and dreams stripped from her hands. Painting-her only escape-has been forbidden. Her voice, silenced. Her spirit, caged. When Ling is hired to protect Orm, she expects another high-profile assignment. What she finds instead is a woman with haunted eyes and a tender heart. Slowly, painfully, Ling uncovers the truth: Orm is being broken by the very man who claims to love her. But between hushed confessions, lingering touches, and the safety of Ling's unwavering presence, something begins to bloom-something forbidden, reckless, and undeniable. As the walls close in, Ling must choose: follow the rules and guard Orm from a distance... or risk everything-her career, her company, her life-to save the woman she's falling for. In a world where power is everything, love might just be the most dangerous rebellion of all.

What happened when an uninterested CEO was forced to go out during lunch hour at a certain cafe owned by a bubbly person?

Prologue "Not all heartbreaks come from betrayal. Some grow from choices made in silence." They were happy once. Truly. Stupidly. Brilliantly happy. After the rivalry, the tension, the guarded hearts-Lingling and Orm had found each other. Two doctors, one heart. They stood in the dawn light outside the hospital, palms pressed, quiet smiles blooming. And for years, they made it work. Lingling soared in internal medicine-panels, journals, awards. Orm, ever proud, filmed her behind the scenes, smitten and steady. They shared shift schedules, socks, even toothbrushes. Fans adored their chemistry-Orm's teasing, Lingling's glares that always ended in a blush. But slowly, life crept in. Lingling picked rounds over date nights, grant proposals over cuddles. She missed anniversaries. Ignored Orm's soft pleas to rest, to breathe, to be there. Not out of malice. Just... neglect. Lingling believed love would hold on its own. But Orm was tired of holding it alone. "I miss us," Orm said once while Lingling typed away. "You never look at me the way you look at your career." Lingling didn't flinch. "My work matters." "And I don't?" Orm whispered. She didn't say no. She said nothing. That silence became a wound. Orm stopped filming at home. Stopped asking. Stopped hoping for a space in a life Lingling was building without her. Until one night, suitcase in hand, Orm stood by the door. "Do you even see me anymore, Ling?" Lingling didn't look up. That was all she needed. She left-no slammed doors, no last plea. Just a note on the fridge: "You chose your calling. I just wish you made room for me in it. - O." Lingling came home late. Read the note under harsh fluorescent light. And for the first time in years, she realized- She'd won every award. But lost her heart. Cross My Heart, Suture Yours: CODE RED
