It started with a bet. A game between Lieutenant Kwong and Detective Orm, a young heiress who walked away from her life of luxury to join the police and hunt the psychopath behind her parents' mysterious death. Kwong has no time for love or for a reckless junior who keeps breaking down her walls. But every wish from Orm slowly blurs the line between partner and something more. Case after case pulls them closer, until Orm's last wish comes... and it's the one promise Lieutenant Kwong may not be able to keep after all. Trigger Warning: This story contains G!P Ling, explicit descriptions of blood, violence, murder scenes, and psychological trauma that may be disturbing to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.

A Reason to Cry at 3 A.M. is not here to comfort you. It's here to shatter you piece by piece through a collection of short stories about love, loss, and longing. These are the moments you replay in your head when the world is asleep. The conversations you wish you could have one more time. The goodbyes that never felt final enough. Every page is a knife. Every ending, a bruise you will carry. Read it in daylight if you must. But at 3 a.m., when the silence gets heavy... this book will be waiting.

Three years after losing her wife, Charlotte, in a tragic accident, Captain Lingling Kwong agrees to an arranged marriage - not for love, but to prove to her family, and the world, that she's fine. Her new wife, the bright and stubborn flight attendant Kornnaphat Sethratanapong, has loved Lingling for as long as she can remember. But marrying your childhood crush when they barely see you as anything more? That's a storm of its own. Because love isn't magic, and healing isn't instant. One woman trapped in the past. One woman determined to be her future. In a world where hearts collide and skies are never calm... can love truly take flight?

Ling and Orm had the kind of love people envied until distance, careers, and silence made it impossible to hold on. There was no fight, no betrayal, just two people too tired to stay, and too scared to ask the other to. Years pass. Success follows them. So does the ache. And when fate brings them face to face again this time in Bali, far from flashing cameras and polite distance. Ling's done playing quiet. She's not asking Orm to remember. She's here to make her fall again. This time, Ling's not running. She's here to stay and take back what they lost. A story of missed chances, reckless hope, and the kind of love that refuses to die quietly.

Orm, a bitchie and baddie young manager in the fashion department of a top magazine, has never been one for commitment or settling down. Meanwhile, Lingling, a web developer and the only daughter of the company's owner, brings a quiet strength and gentle patience that draws Orm in and pulls them closer together. What starts as a chance encounter slowly evolves into a profound love that changes Orm's view of herself. With Lingling, Orm finds someone who doesn't try to change her-but instead makes her want to change.
