Est thought the waves had taken everything from him-until love came like the tide.

You just have to read the story.

They were inseparable. William Jakrapatr and Est Supha met at 17 - two boys who found in each other a mirror of comfort, laughter, and quiet understanding in a noisy world. Best friends. Soul twins. Everything. But one night - one mistake - changed everything. Est walked away without looking back. No calls. No texts. Nothing. And William never stopped wondering why. Four years later, fate throws them back into the same orbit. They're 22 now. Older. Different. Colder. But William still remembers everything - the late-night talks, the rainy-day walks, the promises whispered under starry skies. Est remembers too. But his memories are poisoned. Because William crossed a line that Est never thought he would. And Est made a vow: He would never forgive him.

Loyalty. Blood. Betrayal. When the sunshine twin turns into a monster, the Heart of Rome begins to beat again-and it beats for revenge.

"A Recipe for Redemption" follows Poh, a brilliant young chef who loses everything-his dream job, his confidence, and his love for cooking-after discovering his fiancée's betrayal and spiraling into self-destruction. Returning to Thailand to escape his past, he works as a server in his family's restaurant, avoiding the kitchen that once defined him. Everything changes when Thame, a cold and powerful billionaire, walks into his life. Searching for the perfect chef to lead his elite restaurant, Thame sees untapped potential in Poh and makes him an offer he can't refuse. Under Thame's relentless expectations, Poh is forced to confront his fears and rediscover his passion. As they push each other to their limits, subtle tension builds, blurring the line between rivalry and something more. What starts as a second chance at success slowly turns into an undeniable attraction-one that neither of them expected but can't ignore. This is a story of ambition, passion, and redemption-a slow-burning romance between two men who challenge, heal, and ultimately fall for each other in ways they never imagined.

After five years of writer's block and avoiding home, Est Supha Sangaworawong impulsively hires a rent-a-boyfriend to accompany him to his sister's birthday-just to survive the questions, the stares, the ghosts of who he used to be or maybe just for little crazy decision for the inspiration he needs. "okay, let's do it for the plot"

"You're staring again," Est whispered. "I'm memorizing," William said. "In case you forget to come back tomorrow." _____________________________________ In the 1860s, Siam stood between tradition and change. William, the son of a loyal servant, spent his days tending the gardens of the grand Khunthara estate. Est, the family's gentle heir, had been raised for duty, to study, to obey, to become the man his lineage demanded. They found each other in quiet corners and sunlit courtyards, where laughter softened into something neither dared to name. Beneath the banyan tree, love had taken root, fragile, forbidden, and achingly real. Yet in a world ruled by hierarchy and silence, even the softest affection could become a dangerous rebellion. A tender historical romance about devotion, loss, and the courage to love when love itself had to hide. A WilliamEst story. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This story explores historical and cultural repression, instances of homophobia, and the darker sides of class and society. It also contains moments of intimacy and emotional intensity. While written with sensitivity, some scenes may be heavy or difficult to read. Reader discretion is advised.

The world is full of shadows, loyalty, and lies. Altogether. William is assigned to be undercover in one of the city's most dangerous crime syndicates. He steps into a web of deception where every move could be his last. There, he meets Est, the syndicate's sharp, calculating fixer, a man whose presence is equal parts threat and allure. From the very first encounter, their hate is undeniable: the suspicion sharpens into obsession, hatred tangles with desire. Each tests the other, each hides behind carefully built masks, and each is determined to come out on top. But in a world where everyone is playing a role, where betrayal is currency and trust is lethal, the greatest danger may not be the enemy in front of them... but the secrets they both refuse to tell.

They were law school rivals who couldn't stand each other-until a class project, a few gigs, and a whole lot of unresolved tension forced them to reconsider. Maybe the objection was love all along.
