Pond Naravit is broke enough to answer a suspiciously vague job listing titled: "Private Companion Needed for Social Events." The pay is ridiculous. The expectations seem simple. Pretend to be someone's boyfriend. Attend fancy dinners. Look convincing. What Pond does not expect is for the client to be Phuwin Tangsakyuen-rich, composed, and rumored to be the kind of person you really shouldn't annoy. Phuwin didn't expect Pond either. But somehow the chaotic university student who talks too much and smiles too easily ends up signing the contract anyway. It's temporary. Strictly professional. Just a public arrangement for appearances. There are rules. There are boundaries. And absolutely no emotional involvement. Unfortunately, Pond has never been very good at following rules.

In a world where power rules and family ties are shattered, Phuwin and Pond's lives are intertwined by a deal made in the shadows. Phuwin, a brilliant young man from a broken family, has always fought for recognition and love. Pond, the cold and ruthless heir to the Naravit empire, has known nothing but control and dominance. When Phuwin's stepfather's debt leads to an unexpected arrangement, the two are bound by an arranged marriage neither of them chose. As secrets unfold and tensions rise, their worlds collide in a dark romance where power, passion, and betrayal define their twisted fate. --- M-preg✅ Dark romance ✅ Age Gap ✅ 18+ ✅ Arrange marriage ✅ Spice✅ Black flag top✅ An actual dark romance✅ Black flag to green flag (only for his husband)✅

"I never wanted to be your enemy, Pond. I just wanted to be the person you could rest against. The one who made things easier." "Then why didn't you tell me? Why did you let it get this far?" "And maybe you shouldn't have doubted me before everything came down," Five years ago, Pond and Phuwin stood face to face-hearts full of unspoken feelings, just seconds away from something more. But before they could cross the line from friendship to love, Phuwin disappeared without a word, leaving Pond with silence... and a shattered heart. Now he's back. But they're no longer just two boys with a past-they're the center of a shocking arranged marriage neither of them saw coming. The air between them is heavier than ever-thick with tension, buried wounds, and feelings that never died. Can they survive the secrets, family pressure, and years of heartbreak long enough to find the truth? Or will their second chance slip through their fingers... just like the first? --- ⚠️ This story contains: Mpreg Heavy smut 🔞🫶🏻 Angst Slow-burn, high-stakes romance Side couples: Joong x Dunk & Gemini x Fourth 💬 This is my first story - thank you for reading & supporting! 🫶 #1- menlovemen 28/06/25, 11/08/25 #1- GeminiFourth 13/08/25 #8- b×b 06/07/25 #5-PondPhuwin 06/09/25
