Genre: WLW, Romance, Haters-to-Lovers, Slow Burn, Drama Ling Ling Kwong has everything-money, fame, beauty, and a lifestyle that screams recklessness. As the only daughter of Rapsi Kwong, the legendary businesswoman who built a corporate empire across Asia, Ling was supposed to inherit it all. But at thirty, Ling remains the media's favorite scandal magnet: a womanizer who switches girlfriends like she switches cars, drinks like a fish, and never takes anything seriously-especially not work. Enter Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong. Raised in Phuket by her grandparents and fueled by pure ambition, Orm has worked tirelessly since she was nineteen as Rapsi's most trusted assistant. Now twenty-five, she's sharp, dignified, and fiercely independent. She built her way into the heart of the company-and into Rapsi's. Rapsi loves Orm like her own, and when Ling continues to spiral, Rapsi forms a plan to fix both her legacy and her daughter: a marriage between Ling and Orm. There's just one problem-Ling and Orm can't stand each other. They bicker, argue, and glare like enemies at war. But now, forced into marriage by a mother who sees what they don't yet realize-they just might be each other's salvation. But when two hearts this stubborn collide, will it end in love... or total destruction?

Prologue "Not all heartbreaks come from betrayal. Some grow from choices made in silence." They were happy once. Truly. Stupidly. Brilliantly happy. After the rivalry, the tension, the guarded hearts-Lingling and Orm had found each other. Two doctors, one heart. They stood in the dawn light outside the hospital, palms pressed, quiet smiles blooming. And for years, they made it work. Lingling soared in internal medicine-panels, journals, awards. Orm, ever proud, filmed her behind the scenes, smitten and steady. They shared shift schedules, socks, even toothbrushes. Fans adored their chemistry-Orm's teasing, Lingling's glares that always ended in a blush. But slowly, life crept in. Lingling picked rounds over date nights, grant proposals over cuddles. She missed anniversaries. Ignored Orm's soft pleas to rest, to breathe, to be there. Not out of malice. Just... neglect. Lingling believed love would hold on its own. But Orm was tired of holding it alone. "I miss us," Orm said once while Lingling typed away. "You never look at me the way you look at your career." Lingling didn't flinch. "My work matters." "And I don't?" Orm whispered. She didn't say no. She said nothing. That silence became a wound. Orm stopped filming at home. Stopped asking. Stopped hoping for a space in a life Lingling was building without her. Until one night, suitcase in hand, Orm stood by the door. "Do you even see me anymore, Ling?" Lingling didn't look up. That was all she needed. She left-no slammed doors, no last plea. Just a note on the fridge: "You chose your calling. I just wish you made room for me in it. - O." Lingling came home late. Read the note under harsh fluorescent light. And for the first time in years, she realized- She'd won every award. But lost her heart. Cross My Heart, Suture Yours: CODE RED

Lingling Kwong, a powerful CEO, never expected to fall for someone like Orm Kornnaphat-bold, fearless, and utterly captivating. Their fiery attraction ignites, but Ling doesn't know the truth: Orm was sent by her fiancé, Tor, to seduce and betray her. Believing Ling to be ruthless, Orm plays her part-until she realizes the woman she's meant to destroy is nothing like Tor described. Caught between deception and growing love, Orm hesitates. Can love born from lies ever truly be saved?

In the vibrant streets of Bangkok, two women enter into a dangerous agreement- no promises, no feelings, no strings attached. Lingling has always lived her life by the rules: perfect daughter, perfect image, untouched and untouchable. But when her curiosity pulls her into the orbit of Orm-a reckless, magnetic playgirl with a dangerous charm and something extra between her legs-her world tilts off balance. What begins as a simple arrangement-text me when you're horny-spirals into nights of lust too raw to ignore. Orm pushes Ling past every limit, worships and destroys her in equal measure, until Ling can no longer tell the difference between pain and pleasure, denial and desire. But behind Orm's smirk and filthy mouth, something darker brews: attachment. Possession. Maybe even love. And as Ling struggles against the truth of her own longing, she's forced to face the one thing scarier than Orm's hands on her body-Orm's hold on her heart. Filthy. Tender. Addictive. This is not a love story. This is the story of how lust turned into something neither of them could escape.

Lingling Sirilak Kwong was raised with silence in her veins. She doesn't shout. She doesn't ask. Her hands do the speaking-steady, exact, dangerous in a way that doesn't need to warn you twice. She leads with the kind of power that doesn't seek permission. Her world is sharp-edged and quiet, and she's made peace with being alone in it. Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong lives differently-under fluorescent lights, in rooms that smell like antiseptic and the weight of responsibility. Everything about her is clean, practiced, still. Her voice is soft, but her spine never bends. People depend on her. She lets them. Because she doesn't know what it's like to be chosen instead of needed. They met under bad lighting and worse timing. A parking lot. A crude comment. Four men. And one voice that cut the night open: "She told you to move." It should've ended there. A nod. A thank you. A walk away. But Orm didn't walk. And Lingling didn't let her. Now there's a thread pulled too tight between them. Sheets. Bruises. Breathless silence. A thousand things said with hands instead of mouths. Lingling touches Orm like she's already hers. Orm lets her in like she doesn't know how to say no. It's not love. Not yet. But something hangs in the space they keep trying not to name. It lingers on the tip of the tongue, right where pretending and staying start to blur. --- --- G!P Lingling
