"GOD DAMN IT ENGFA!!!" Charlotte screamed as she threw the test at her. No she couldn't believe it. This was impossible, how could she be pregnant with Engfa's baby? "Look Char, just calm down a bit okay it's bad for the baby." Engfa tried to reason, but that only made Charlotte even more angrier. And before Engfa knew it, she was knocked off the bed and onto the floor as Charlotte stormed out in anger. "I'm going to kill you Engfa Waraha." And Charlotte meant every word she had just said, if it was up to her she would have strangled Engfa herself...

This is the sister story of Take A Risk (that you should read first if didn't already). In this one you'll get to follow Engfa's POV. This is the exact same start and the exact same ending but you'll get to enjoy the cute moments from Engfa's mind and what happens in her life when she's not with Charlotte. Some moments you already read in detail I won't do again, but some I only skimmed over in the first story I will go more in depth. Hope you'll like it!

One of the most compelling aspects of "Crimson & Gold Pact" is definitely the journey of Engfa and Charlotte themselves. They begin as archetypal rivals, almost diametrically opposed in their personalities and approaches to life and business. Engfa is all logic, control, and efficiency, while Charlotte is intuition, charm, and a touch of calculated chaos. What's fascinating is how the forced proximity and the escalating external threats really act as catalysts for their growth, both individually and as a couple. We see Engfa, the "Ice Queen," gradually reveal moments of vulnerability and even a fierce, protective loyalty that goes beyond pure strategy. Similarly, Charlotte, who initially seems to embody rebellion against her family's expectations, steps up to embrace her duty and display an unexpected resilience and strategic mind when the stakes are highest. The "arranged marriage" premise, which starts as a source of mutual disdain, cleverly evolves into the very crucible in which their undeniable chemistry and eventual love are forged. It's the ultimate "enemies-to-lovers" trope, but with the added layer of high-stakes corporate warfare and complex family legacies. The "Crimson & Gold Pact" truly becomes a vow of personal commitment, not just a business contract. What are your thoughts on their individual journeys, especially how they came to depend on and eventually love each other despite their initial resistance?

(AGE GAP ‼️) - !! MATURE !! Charlotte never planned on falling in love with her professor. She didn't even plan on going to university. Pushed by her parents to get "any degree," she stumbles back into Bangkok at twenty-one, restless, directionless, and searching for herself. Then she meets Dr. Waraha - the youngest professor at Siam Chamber University. At thirty, she's brilliant, cold, and untouchable. Every student admires her, but no one dares get close. But Charlotte can't escape her. Waraha's course is mandatory, and failing isn't an option. What starts as brutal office hours and constant clashes begins to blur into something more dangerous. Charlotte tells herself she hates her professor. Waraha insists Charlotte is young and naïve. Yet neither can deny the pull dragging them closer, past the line they should never cross As whispers spread and the walls close in, Charlotte and Waraha find themselves at a crossroads. A romance where every glance is a risk, every kiss could be the end, and two women learn that sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do... is fall in love.

In the pulsing heart of Bangkok, Charlotte, a student, collides with Engfa, a fellow student whose guarded heart hides secrets carved in ink. Living starkly different lives-one tethered to stay carefree at the present moment, the other to a solitary past-they find solace in stolen moments, from fierce clashes to whispered truths. Their bond weaves a fragile haven amid the chaos, but with shadows closing in and buried wounds resurfacing, can they cling to the light they've sparked? A tale of survival, longing, and the unspoken ties that bind. Tides of Trust is a stirring tale of love, redemption, and the courage to forge a shared future.

The world knew Engfa Waraha as an unyielding force - a ruthless CEO with razor-sharp intuition and the power to command any room she entered. Charlotte Austin had only been her secretary for six months, but in that short time, she'd learned more about Engfa than most of the executive team ever would. But love, inconvenient and uninvited, has a way of growing in the unlikeliest places - between midnight meetings and shared elevator rides, in stolen glances and long silences.

Engfa Waraha rules the underworld with an iron fist-ruthless, untouchable, feared by all. In her world, love is a weakness, and weakness gets you killed. She has built her empire on blood, vengeance, and power. Nothing shakes her. Nothing reaches her heart. Because she no longer has one. Then why is she letting me get close? I'm Charlotte Austin-a journalist who should have walked away. I was only supposed to write about her, expose the truth, and move on. But the more I learn, the more I want. I should be afraid. I should stop before it's too late. But how do you stop when the danger itself becomes an addiction? Engfa Waraha doesn't believe in love. I don't believe in limits. She is the Queen of the Underworld. And I am walking straight into her darkness.

They were never supposed to fall in love. The Warahas and the Austins-two empires built on pride, power, and legacy. Together, they controlled half of Bangkok. Money. Influence. Generational tension. And for decades, one rule remained unbroken: Do not cross lines. Do not do business. Do not dine. Do not fall in love. But then came Charlotte Austin and Engfa Waraha. From High School hallways to university dorms.... From whispered promises to wedding vows. They defied every warning. They kissed in back hallways while their families made threats in boardrooms. They snuck away from galas to whisper dreams in parking lots lined with limousines. And one day... they got married. The whole of Bangkok celebrated. A love that ended a legacy of rivalry-headlines, press, pure joy. Two hearts swearing forever-against all odds. The Austins were furious. The Warahas were livid. But love... love softened everything. The families made peace. They broke bread. They built empires-together. Waraha x Austin became the business world's most powerful alliance. ⸻ Until the night it all shattered. One brutal fight. One overdose. One memory-erased. Engfa Waraha woke up with no recollection of the woman she married. And fate?It had the audacity to bring Charlotte Austin back into her life...This time, as her therapist. But Charlotte?She remembers everything. The vows. The kisses. The heartbreak. And Engfa? She's falling in love all over again....With the woman she once called hers. But what happens when the memories come back?Will love survive it all.. Or destroy them both-twice? ⸻

Engfa never believed in fairytales, especially not the kind where you're forced to marry someone you've barely spoken to-all because your parents signed your future away. Born into a powerful, traditional Thai family, she's spent her whole life following the rules. But nothing could prepare her for this: a sudden engagement to a woman she's never loved-and certainly never wanted to marry. Charlotte is just as furious. Independent, confident, and with her own dreams, she's blindsided when her parents announce she's to wed a stranger for the sake of an old alliance and social image. Being tied to Engfa-a woman who's stunning but seemingly cold-feels like a cruel joke. Forced under one roof, Engfa and Charlotte clash from day one. Tension simmers as arguments turn into stolen glances, and hatred begins to twist into something far more dangerous-desire. But falling for each other was never part of the plan. With family expectations looming and old wounds resurfacing, the two must decide: is love worth fighting for, even when it started with no choice at all? ~Completed~

People said "You will always look for someone who will treat you right, the one who can understands you, especially the one who can love you." So what if having a relationship for almost 5 years drains you out?, will you lose your mind or find someone else?, And if you found the love you've always been seeking?. Will you chase it?. And If you find someone who treats you the way you have always wanted to be treated, but you are still on a relationship? What will you do?. Will Engfa, the CEO of Waraha Co., chase this Affair? or she will let herself get stuck on a relationship that's been dead already for years already?.
