Johan held his gaze, his own dark eyes burning with a possessive fire. "Now you don't," he muttered, his voice low and dark, final. He pushed the gun deeper into North's mouth, forcing North to accommodate the invasive metal. A choked, guttural sound escaped North's throat as he fought the reflex to vomit. He was utterly violated, completely at this man's mercy. ________ In a mansion blazing like a gilded cage against the night, the Theerawong family is suffocating. Easter, the eldest son, sits in silent resignation, being prepared for a forced marriage to a ruthless kingpin, Hill Khonkaen. His brother, North, burns with a helpless rage, desperate to save him but powerless against the encroaching darkness. As the ceremony begins below, North hides in his room, watching the macabre spectacle from his window. But a pair of dark, perceptive eyes finds him in the shadows. Johan, a cold and calculating mafia and an associate of the groom, locks onto the frightened boy with a predator's interest. In that single glance, a new, more personal threat is born, and North realizes that while his brother is the sacrifice, he may be the prize.

When Johan a 150 year old vampire meet his young cute human soulmate, what follows is a battle of restraint and patience while his little mate does everything to test them.

Johan owns an elegant bar-restaurant in the city, where twice a week, without fail, North shows up―the same guy he met back in college, the one he never stopped liking. They've never spoken. Until one night, Johan decides to do something different.

When Thailand's two most powerful families announce a business merger, the world gasps-because it comes with an engagement contract between their only heirs.

North is fighting in the ring, and Jo is fighting too...but what? This might turn ridiculously sweet and might not be your cup of tea.

North is a very important part of everyone's life, and maybe he is more involved than he can handle

Slowly, between stolen glances, unspoken confessions, and the clash of two very different worlds, their arranged marriage blossoms into something neither of them expected: love.

At Sattravadee Institute of Excellence, power crowns the Aces-and exile destroys the rest. After a war of wills that shook the foundations of the Four Aces, Johan Vareya-heir to the Ace of Spades-made his move. And North Nirandkul paid the price. Cast into the House of Strays, the lowest rank of the institute, North is stripped of influence, reputation, and the fragile chance he had to stand beside the elite. To everyone else, he's been broken. But North doesn't break. He burns. Once rivals turned something more, Johan and North's bond has been shattered by betrayal. Now, when fate pulls them back into each other's orbit, it isn't rivalry anymore-it's war. A war laced with anger, temptation, and a dangerous hunger neither can resist. Johan is cold, calculating, and untouchable. North is reckless, cunning, and impossible to cage. Together, they're manipulative, unstoppable, and more powerful than anyone ever dared imagine. Because love between an Ace and a Stray isn't just forbidden-it's lethal. And in a world where image is currency and betrayal is survival, their passion may be the most dangerous game of all.

In his thirties and running out of chances, Johan never thought his last shot in the industry would come with a complication: falling for North, the flawless 26-year-old superstar he has admired for years. On set, admiration turns to longing, secrets blur into desire, and love becomes the riskiest role of all.
