William gets married to Est because his parents gave him no choice. Six months ago, he caused Est's accident. What should have been just another night of drinking and clubbing towards the end of his university year turned into something irreversible. Est the one William hit survived but his hands and legs didn't. And neither did his dreams. He had to take months of rehabilitation that took everything away from him, including the continuation of his education and the place he had earned in the national swimming team. While Est was learning how to live again, William's parents made sure nothing touched their only son. Money buried the truth, a blank cheque and a quiet deal ended up in William and Est's marriage. Est got handed over like compensation by his family, forced into a responsibility and relationship he never wanted. Now they're tied together with no sense of direction, no sight of freedom and here the story unfolds. ( Salvatore is set in an ABO universe but I've not deeply talked about it. I initially intended to, but when writing, the focus fell more on the emotional aspects and complications of the characters. But the major events & turns are going to be on the basis of ABO. So please refer to the tags before reading to be more comfortable :)

[COMPLETED] On his fifth birthday, William started dreaming of a beautiful boy he had never met, someone too beautiful, too familiar to be a stranger. But names were never exchanged, addresses untold. Years passed. The dreams never stopped. At sixteen, William's world cracked wide open. His first kiss revealed a family pact. Est. The guy who was never meant to be part of William's world. Yet by decree of the old family tradition, Est became more than just a stranger. He was William's betrothed. From that moment, Est became the symbol of everything William resented. An obligation. A shadow. An enemy. Even before they ever met. Neither one wanted this. Neither one expected what would come next. What if some connections are impossible to escape? What if some faces are always meant to remain a mystery? What if not?

Est Supha has everything-wealth, status, power, and a future already written in gold. He's the perfect heir of a perfect family, living a life untouched by consequences. Until a single scandal shatters everything. As public outrage threatens to destroy their empire, Est's parents make an unthinkable decision-to marry him off. Not for love. Not for choice. But for image. William is nothing like Est. An orphan. Soft-spoken. Kind in a world that rewards cruelty. A man who teaches poor children under the sun and expects nothing in return. A man who becomes a husband not because he wants to be-but because he is chosen. Their marriage is a contract signed in silence. One bed. Two strangers. A house colder than the headlines outside. Est keeps his distance. William keeps his feelings to himself. Because loving someone who never reaches back is painful. But what Est doesn't know- While he's fighting to rebuild his reputation, William is fighting something much quieter. Something that doesn't trend. Something that doesn't wait. Because scandals fade. Power can be reclaimed. But love? Love becomes dangerous when you realize you might lose the one person who loved you first. And sometimes... the husband meant to protect a family name becomes the one worth destroying it for. Cold Husband × Gentle Husband Contract Marriage Slow Burn One-Sided Love Regret Arc 🦈🎸

Warning⚠️ This story deals with emotional neglect, loneliness within marriage, power imbalance between alpha and omega, pregnancy under pressure, and psychological distress. Some scenes may be emotionally difficult. In an omegaverse ruled by contracts and bloodlines, Est becomes an omega bound to an alpha who never chose him. William, powerful and distant, treats their marriage as nothing more than an obligation. Love was never part of the agreement. Cold nights, unspoken pain, and silent tears become Est's reality. He endures. He stays. He remains silent. Behind closed doors, a bond slowly fractures under neglect and resentment. And when silence reaches its breaking point, consequences can no longer be ignored. Some bonds are forged by law. Others are tested by pain. The question is- what happens when silence can no longer protect the omega?

Joong believed marriage was redemption. Proof that surviving still meant something. The wedding is flawless-marble floors, crystal lights, perfection in every detail. Joong walks down the aisle alone, dressed in white, smiling softly beneath the lights. He is alone not because he has no family, but because they chose not to stand beside him. At the altar waits Dunk Natachai-the man Joong has loved since he was fourteen. Older, composed, unreachable once, and now impossibly his husband. For a moment, it feels like a miracle. Until Joong reaches him. Dunk does not extend his hand. The pause is small, barely noticeable, but Joong feels it instantly-a warning where warmth should have been. The vows are spoken. Applause fills the hall. The kiss is brief, polite, and wrong. Then Dunk leans close and whispers, meant only for him: "Welcome to hell, husband." Joong's smile does not break. He has learned how to smile even when something inside him goes completely still. What follows is not a love story, but a marriage that becomes a sentence rather than a sanctuary. Hope turns into control. Affection fades into cruelty. Silence replaces devotion. This is not a story about a wedding, but about a fall. And whether Joong survives it remains unanswered.

[COMPLETED] They said bonds never break without leaving something behind. They didn't say what happens to the pieces that stay breathing. William chose what he thought was right. Est chose silence. Between instinct and choice, love and duty, one promise was made too fragile-and one life began quietly, unseen by the world that would never ask for it. Deception threatened to break apart what was formed during William's rut when Est was chosen as a convenience by the clan. It's about the kind of love that doesn't beg. And the kind of loss that walks away carrying more than just heartbreak. "Nong luk Est," she had murmured. "Listen to Mae." She had smiled, tears slipping free. "Love can never be forced. And love never kneels when it's real." "Never beg for love, my baby boy. Never forget that." ⚠️M-Preg themes explored
