Years ago, Charlotte Austin walked away from the only woman she had ever loved. She left Chiang Mai. She left Engfa Waraha. And she left behind a heart that never truly stopped belonging to her. Now a successful pharmaceutical CEO and single mother, Charlotte has built a safe life for her daughter-a life far away from danger, violence, and the powerful empire Engfa once ruled. But fate has other plans. When an unknown enemy targets her daughter, Charlotte's carefully built world begins to crumble. And on the day everything nearly falls apart, a mysterious woman appears out of nowhere, defeating the attackers and saving her child. Charlotte recognizes her immediately. The sharp eyes. The familiar scars. The love she spent years trying to forget. Engfa Waraha. The woman she left behind. The woman who never stopped watching over them. The woman her daughter has never known is her other mother. As old wounds reopen and buried truths come to light, Charlotte must decide whether she can forgive the past. And Engfa must prove that some hearts, no matter how broken, never stop waiting for the person they love. Because anger may linger. But true love never fades. ❤️

Three and a half years ago, one night turned alliance into ashes. The Waraha and Austin families once stood at the center of power, bound by strategy, loyalty, and something neither side ever named out loud. Then the port burned. Lives were lost. Trust shattered. And what remained was a fracture neither side could afford to repair. Some things were buried that night. Not all of them stayed buried. Now, the balance is shifting again. As smaller syndicates rise and the Itsaragrisil family expands with unsettling precision, the underworld begins to tilt toward something far more unstable. At the same time, a new political force emerges, one that threatens not just territory, but the very system that has kept order in the shadows for decades-and forces old enemies back into the same room. Engfa Waraha was raised to lead with strength, loyalty, and control, never to question, never to falter. Charlotte Austin was taught to protect her family at any cost, even if it meant becoming someone unrecognizable. They were never strangers, just never allowed to choose each other. Distance was supposed to be enough. It should have been easy to keep things cold, calculated, untouched. It isn't. Because the past doesn't stay quiet when it was never finished. Because every glance lingers too long, every silence says too much, every step closer feels like crossing a line neither of them is supposed to survive. And neither of them walks away. But this isn't just about them. Something is moving beneath it all-patient, precise, watching as alliances fracture and power shifts, waiting for the exact moment to break what's left standing. And when the truth finally surfaces, it won't just destroy families. It will force them to choose. Duty... or each other.

Dr. Charlotte Austin saves lives. Engfa Waraha collects debts. They come from completely different worlds and should never have met. But one unexpected encounter changes everything. As Charlotte is pulled deeper into Engfa's dangerous life, both women find themselves caught between love, obsession, loyalty, and secrets that could destroy them. Because some debts can't be paid with money. And some hearts, once given away, can never be taken back. Avarice of the Myocardium - a story of devotion, desire, and a heart that wants more than it should. ⚠️ Content Warning This story contains: Intersex themes (G!P) Mature themes Emotional angst Reader discretion is advised.

Engfa Waraha lives her life by strict parameters and absolute discipline. As one of the youngest and most respected international airline captains in the industry, she commands the skies with a cool authority that keeps the world-and her heart-at a safe distance. Raised on a legacy of secrets after her father's mysterious death, Engfa has built impenetrable walls to protect her family. She craves structure and predictability. Then, Charlotte Austin steps onto her aircraft. Charlotte is the nation's sweetheart, a premier fashion model, and the daughter of a ruthless billionaire tycoon who rules Bangkok's corporate underworld. Suffocated by her father's iron grip and forced into a strategic marriage merger with an entitled suitor, Charlotte longs for a love that feels like destiny.

Engfa Waraha, the ruthless CEO of Asia's largest hotel chain, handles a high-profile murder on her property with cold corporate precision: full compliance with the police, but zero compensation for the victim's family. Enter Charlotte Austin, the fierce, brilliant attorney determined to make the untouchable billionaire pay. What begins as a bitter legal battle quickly spirals into an intense, late-night game of psychological cat-and-mouse. But as the trial looms and the tension between them becomes explosive, they realize the most dangerous thing in the room isn't the lawsuit-it's each other.

After six years of building what seemed like a perfect marriage, everything falls apart when a photograph surfaces - one that appears to show Engfa kissing another woman in a nightclub. Charlotte, still haunted by the wounds of past betrayal, refuses to listen to any explanation. Without hesitation, she files for divorce, convinced that Engfa has cheated on her. But Engfa insists the incident is not what it seems. She claims it was a trap, carefully orchestrated to ruin her career and destroy her life. No matter what she says, however, Charlotte refuses to believe her. When the court finalizes their divorce, full custody of Ara is granted to Charlotte, while Engfa is only allowed to see her daughter once a week. The separation does not only shatter two hearts that once loved each other deeply - it also leaves a wound inside a little girl who cannot understand why her family has been torn apart. And somewhere between broken love and trust that no longer exists, one question remains unanswered - Was everything truly over...or were they still about us, only lost inside wounds that never had the chance to heal ?

Engfa Waraha is the nonchalant heiress of Waraha Holdings-someone who never cared for socializing, never cared for being liked. She is cold to the point of intimidation, the kind of woman people fear approaching because her silence feels sharper than words. Then, there's Charlotte Austin. The youngest daughter of the owner of Austin Architectural Firm. Charlotte was the complete opposite of her-brave, radiant, and effortlessly alive. A social butterfly, the center of every room she stepped into. She didn't walk, she arrived like a storm wrapped in sunlight. And to Engfa, Charlotte wasn't just a person. She was a whirlwind-loud enough to shake Engfa's walls, warm enough to melt her ice, and dangerous enough to make her forget who she had always been.

Engfa Waraha never expected to marry a stranger-especially not someone as graceful and elegant as Charlotte Austin.
