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?

A misunderstanding tears Est and William apart, but years later the truth of betrayal is revealed-and with their son between them, they must decide if love can heal what was stolen.

Everyone at the office thought Est was cold, distant, and impossible to approach. No one knew why he kept his life locked away behind walls. Everyone, except William- who noticed too much, and cared far more than he should.

💔 He wasn't a husband. He was a prisoner. When Est's father falls into debt, the price of repayment is his son's freedom. Forced into a loveless marriage with Earn, a cold and ruthless man who treats him as nothing more than property, Est's life becomes a chain of silent suffering. But fate shifts when William enters their world - kind, gentle, and everything Earn is not., Est feels seen... and loved. Caught between duty and desire, chains and freedom, Est must decide: Will he remain bound by debt, or risk everything for a chance at real love?

"Some hearts break silently... some minds never forget." In Bangkok, Dr. William is assigned to Est, a patient lost in the shadows of a year-old accident. Bound, screaming, and shunned by all, he seems untouchable. But William sees the pain no one else dares to face-and a fragile connection begins to form between healer and broken soul.
