Phuwin survived one husband. He isn't sure he'll survive another. Dragged from the village where his ghosts still live, he enters a second marriage expecting control, rules, and another life of fear. Pond, however, has only one problem- he fell hopelessly in love with his husband the moment he saw him. Now he's determined to convince Phuwin that marriage can mean late-night takeout, bookstore dates, movie tickets, sleepy cuddles, and a home where "I'm scared" is always answered with "I'm here." The problem? Love is easy.

Somewhere in a small but strong village in 1940s, it took place. Pond didn't marry for love. He married because the next head of the village needed a partner. To secure his position. To prove he was ready. To give an heir. Phuwin was chosen for him. A quiet boy. No history. No resistance. Disciplined enough. Easy enough. Perfect. Head bowed. Phuwin knew what this marriage meant. He knew what was expected of him. He knew what his body could never give. He knew he could not give birth. And still- he said nothing. Because saying the truth would end everything. And silence- was safer than losing the only place he had left. But things started to look out of context when Pond spoke too careful around him, too soft - too awkward, when Phuwin knew the position of the brides in the head family is to be just bound to their husbands. Just, obedient partners. Just, heir bearers. Just, an ornament to be kept beside while running the village. ♪ 𝐀 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫, 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

Eight months after disappearing without a trace, Phuwin finally makes a call. A single phone call filled with silence, tears, and a heartbreaking confession that changes everything. While Joong races against time to find him, another man is forced to face the consequences of the mistakes that destroyed the person he loved most. A lost child. A shattered heart. A love buried beneath regret. When the past comes back with unbearable pain, will they be able to save what remains... or will they be too late? A story of love, loss, grief, and second chances where every heartbeat matters.

"Angel..." Pond dropped to his knees. His voice cracked under the weight of everything he had failed to notice. "Please... give me one more chance to fix everything I broke the first time. I swear on my life, I'll take better care of you this time." My tears finally escaped. "You've always taken care of me, Nara." His smile was painfully gentle. "...That's never been the problem." I paused before whispering the words that shattered the only home either of us had ever known. "I just don't feel the yearning anymore." "I love you..." "...but somewhere along the way, we forgot how to be in love." For 15 years, Pond and Phuwin had belonged to one another. 4 years of stolen rendezvous, 11 years of marriage built on promises whispered beneath wedding vows. They had everything people spent their lives chasing. A successful career and a beautiful home. To the outside world, theirs was the kind of marriage people pointed at and said, "I hope I find something like that someday." And perhaps, once upon a time... it truly had been. But love doesn't always disappear with a loud goodbye. Now standing at the edge of a marriage they once believed would last forever, they must decide- Can they find their way back to each other after years of growing apart? Or are some pages meant to be turned, even when neither heart is ready to close the book? After all... not every love story ends when love dies, some begin to end while love is still very much alive.

Years ago, they were bound by a mistake called marriage. Too young to understand love, too proud to stay. They walked away , carrying the scars, the silence, and a story left unfinished. Now, after years apart, Arjun and Avantika stand on opposite ends of success , independent, unstoppable, and untouched by the past... or so they believe. But fate is never done playing its game. One unexpected meeting and all the walls they built begin to tremble. This time, there are no childish promises. No anger. No blame. Just two broken souls, learning to love the right way , the adult way , with patience, depth, and the kind of longing that never really dies. Maybe this is what destiny always meant .... not the love they lost, but the one they were meant to grow into. A story of second chances, healing hearts, and a love reborn in its most mature form. "They were too young to love right. Now fate gives them one last chance."

Pond Naravit grew up in an orphanage. One day, a doctor adopted him, and Pond thought he finally had a family. He trusted the doctor and believed he would have a better life. But the doctor had a dark secret. He did not adopt Pond because he wanted a son. He adopted him to sell his body for a body transfer experiment. Rich people paid a lot of money to get a young and healthy body. After trying to escape, Pond lost consciousness. When he woke up on a rooftop, he could not remember anything not even his own past. The only person with him was a young man named Phuwin. Phuwin lived alone in a small rooftop apartment. He was a student who took care of himself. Feeling sorry for Pond, Phuwin decided to help him. Since Pond had nowhere else to go and no memories of who he was, he stayed with Phuwin. Together, they began searching for the truth about Pond's past. #pondphuwinstory

Phuwin admired Pond long before meeting him. Not because of his wealth. But because of his loyalty. A widower who raised his son alone and never looked at another person again. When their families introduced them, Phuwin met only one person.. Pavin. Pond's four-year-old son. And somehow, The child stole his heart first. But behind their smiles. Their families had already arranged everything. One believed the other agreed. One walked unknowingly into his own engagement. And when their names were announced together... Neither of them knew, Love had never been part of the plan. lie betrayal manipulation family love smut mpreg

What happens when two people find each other in the same company- one an alpha who swears he doesn't need love, forced to find a fake boyfriend just to escape a marriage his parents are trying to trap him in... And the other an omega who's sassy yet gentle, fiercely independent, and loves his family enough to leave them behind for their sake? What happens when their pretend relationship starts to shift the ground beneath their feet- When something that was supposed to be fake begins to feel dangerously real? When complications appear in the form of a miracle, a heartbeat, something small yet powerful enough to change both of their lives forever? What happens when one of them disappears- leaving behind guilt, responsibility, and a love he never meant to feel- while the other is left heartbroken, confused, and angry? Was it truly hate... Or was it pain? Or was it a wound from loving someone who had to leave, even when he didn't want to? And then- what happens when they collide again five years later? One still carrying the ache of the past, and the other burdened with guilt for the hurt he caused but unable to erase the memories of the happiest- and saddest- days they shared. What happens when fate brings them back to the very love they tried to pretend wasn't real? Was it ever fake... Or was it love all along?

[VERY MATURE +18] Five years ago, Phuwin disappeared. Not because he was weak. Not because he gave up. But because survival demanded something unforgivable. When his child was born too early - out of love from his boyfriend, his first love - still in highschool, drowning in hospital bills and threatened by men he should never have trusted, Phuwin signed a contract with a club that promised money in exchange for his freedom. It was meant to be temporary. It became a cage. His days belong to Lina - his daughter, his reason to breathe. His nights belong to the contract he cannot break. Five years stretched. And then, he appears. Pond. His first love - his supposed boyfriend, the father of his child which he never knew, the one he thought he lost forever. The one who caused his heart to shatter years ago with a cruel bet. On his birthday. A stupid celebration. A private room. Drunken laughter. "We booked someone for you. Birthday privilege." Pond didn't expect anything. Didn't want anything. And then the door opened. Phuwin stepped inside - composed, distant, professional. He looked at Pond the way he looks at every client. "Happy birthday," he said quietly. The words shattered something in Pond's chest. Because this wasn't a stranger. This was the boy he loved. The one he broke with a cruel bet. The one he's been searching for. The father of a child he never knew existed. "No," Pond said. His friends laughed, confused. "I said no." His voice was calm now. Controlled. Dangerous. "Cancel it." He wasn't refusing the booking. He was refusing to let Phuwin stand there like he belonged to anyone else. Like he belonged here - in a bar. To serve people.
