Rebecca Armstrong has always lived a charmed life where she was pampered, adored, and effortlessly the center of attention. At twenty-one, she's never once had to chase anyone's interest... until the day she comes home and meets her brother's new business partner. Sarocha Chamkimha is everything Rebecca isn't: elegant, controlled, and intimidatingly composed. At thirty-two, she has perfected the art of keeping people at a distance. And unlike everyone else in Rebecca's world, she doesn't melt under a bright smile or playful charm. She barely looks at her. That single indifference changes everything. Suddenly, Rebecca finds herself drawn to the one woman who seems completely unaffected by her. And Sarocha, despite her icy professionalism, begins to see through the sparkly exterior to the sincerity and warmth underneath. As the family's business expansion pulls them closer and as feelings Rebecca never expected deepen, both women must decide whether to resist the growing tension between them... or surrender to something neither of them planned for.

Freen, a young woman from a humble hometown in Thailand, struggles to make ends meet. Working as a receptionist in a bustling city hotel, she sends every baht she can spare back to her family, determined to give them a better life despite her own hardships. One day, while looking for a simple mirror, Freen is drawn to an old, inexpensive one that seems almost ordinary but there's something unusual about it. The moment she takes it home, her life changes forever. The mirror is a portal to another world: the enchanting kingdom of Srisawad, a mystical land full of magic, intrigue, and beauty. In Srisawad, a radiant princess lives in a gilded palace, her life filled with duty, expectation, and an unspoken loneliness. When Freen and the princess meet, their two worlds so different, yet bound by fate, collide. Will Freen's resilience and heart bridge the gap between the ordinary and the magical? And can love truly blossom across worlds divided by reality and fantasy?

Rebecca "Becky" Armstrong, a famous young actress, and "Freen" Sarocha Chankimha, a fiercely ambitious architect, share a love that once burned brightly. But as their careers pull them in opposite directions, their marriage is tested by unspoken fears, insecurities, and the crushing weight of expectations. Freen battles the ache of feeling unworthy of Becky's love, while Becky longs for the connection and intimacy they've lost. With media scrutiny and personal doubts threatening to tear them apart, they face an agonizing question: Can their love survive the distance, or will their once-unbreakable bond shatter beyond repair? ---- This is my first original story, and of course it's a fanfiction. None of this is real-it all exists only in my imagination. ---- ((This story contains heavy angst, slow burn and mature content. Reader discretion is advised))

The first time I lost her, it was raining. The second time, thunder cracked the sky. The third time, she was in my bed-but she wasn't mine. I used to believe silence was safety. That if I stayed quiet long enough, still enough, the world would forget I existed. It worked for a while. Until Becky Armstrong walked into my life with scraped knees, a crooked smile, and the kind of laugh that made silence feel like punishment. She was loud. Bright. Reckless. And I loved her-quietly, desperately. I never told her. Not when she kissed my cousin. Not when she kissed me. Not even when she said it meant nothing. So I left. I built a life out of steel and silence. And now she's here again-living in my house, breathing my air, asking for forgiveness I don't know how to give. She says she wants to be used. But I don't think she understands. I don't want to use her. I want to destroy her. And the worst part? I still love her. - Freen Sarocha Chakminha

Becky Armstrong's life was a symphony of precision and control. As a brilliant medical examiner, she approached every case with a logical mind and a steady hand. Her personal life was equally streamlined, with her daughter, Anna, being the center of her universe. But on this particular day, something felt off-kilter. Maybe it was the way the sunlight streaming through the windows highlighted the dust motes dancing in the air. Or maybe it was the way Anna's laughter echoed through the hallway, a carefree sound that seemed to hold a hint of foreboding. Whatever the reason, Becky couldn't shake off the feeling that something was about to change. And then, like a whispered secret, it happened. A knock on the door, an introduction, and a pair of piercing green eyes locked onto hers. Freen Sarocha Chanmika, the tough-as-nails detective, had walked into their lives, and Becky felt the axis of her world tilt ever so slightly. Sometimes you can feel the moment when your life changes; something happens and you feel a shift. Becky Armstrong didn't believe in fate; not really, and yet the day she and her daughter, Anna, met Freen Sarocha Chanmika, she couldn't help feeling like somehow her life had changed. She wasn't really sure what she felt that day, but watching Freen connect with Anna in a way that few others could, she couldn't help thinking that maybe, just maybe it was fate.

Becky's life takes a tumultuous turn when she discovers the painful truth about her boyfriend, Nop - he had betrayed her trust and cheated on her with another woman. Heartbroken and shattered, Becky struggles to come to terms with the betrayal, feeling a mix of sadness, anger, and confusion. Determined to heal and move on, Becky decides to distance herself from Nop and the memories they shared. With the support of her friends and family, she starts the process of rebuilding her life, one step at a time. However, the scars of the broken relationship run deep, and Becky finds herself guarded and apprehensive about love. In the midst of her journey towards healing, she meets Freen Sarocha, Nop 's enchanting step-sister, at a family gathering. Freen exudes a warmth and charm that immediately draws Becky in. Unlike her ex, Freen is caring, empathetic, and understanding, offering Becky a shoulder to lean on without judgment or pressure. As they spend more time together, Becky begins to open up to Freen about her past and her heartache. Freen listens intently, providing comfort and reassurance, making Becky feel seen and valued in ways she hadn't experienced before. In "That's the way I love you," Becky embarks on a journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and the complexities of love. As she learns to heal from heartbreak, she must confront her feelings for Freen and confront the question of whether she can find the strength to love again despite her past

In the quiet northern town, Becky runs Petal & Thorn, a cozy flower shop where every petal holds a piece of her heart. Passionate, cheerful, and grounded, she's built a life of simple beauty-until chaos moves in upstairs. Then Freen entered, the enigmatic, sharp-tongued new tenant. With her brooding calm, sarcastic charm, and a frustrating habit of pushing Becky's buttons, Freen becomes an unavoidable presence in both the building and Becky's head. What begins as playful banter slowly gives way to complicated chemistry. Freen's teasing digs under Becky's skin, but her concern-masked behind snark and deflections-speaks of deeper layers Becky can't ignore. And despite their clashing personalities, moments of vulnerability begin to chip away at their guarded walls. Between nights together, unexpected kindnesses, and Freen showing up when she least expect to, Becky finds herself pulled into a world she didn't anticipate: one of secrets, unsaid apologies, and heartbeats that stutter for all the wrong reasons. As Becky fights to stay grounded in her tidy world of stems and petals, Freen's presence continues to unravel her. But love doesn't always bloom in perfect conditions. Because sometimes, love doesn't come softly. Sometimes, it crashes in like a storm-and all you can do is hold on.

Freen has always been cautious with her heart. Scarred by a past that taught her love comes with pain, she's sworn to keep her distance from anything that might leave her vulnerable. Then she meets Becky-a bright, confident woman who's everything Freen didn't know she needed. But Freen's fear of falling holds her back, even as Becky's persistence begins to crumble her walls. Becky has never considered the possibility of falling for a woman, but something about Freen feels different. Drawn to her in ways she can't explain, Becky embarks on a journey of self-discovery, grappling with feelings she never expected.
