Ling es una repostera sensible y reservada que ha aprendido a esconder su corazón tras la dulzura de sus postres. Desde hace meses sueña con una mujer sin rostro que la ama con una intensidad que nunca ha sentido despierta. Orm, heredera de un imperio hotelero, vive bajo el peso de las expectativas familiares y la imagen perfecta que ha construido para sobrevivir. También sueña, sin entender por qué, con una presencia femenina que despierta en ella un deseo imposible de ignorar. Cuando sus caminos se cruzan, el reconocimiento es inmediato, profundo, irrefutable. Entre diferencias sociales, compromisos ajenos y emociones largamente contenidas, ambas deberán decidir si lo que sienten es solo un eco de sus sueños... o la oportunidad de vivir, por fin, un amor real.

Lingling Kwong, a powerful and successful CEO, has built her empire with discipline and determination, never letting anything-or anyone-distract her. But when her father, desperate to secure the family legacy, forces her into arranged dates, she finds herself trapped in a game she never wanted to play. One of those dates turns out to be Orm Kornnaphat, an ambitious and talented employee in her company-someone Lingling has noticed before. At first, it's just an obligation, a dinner to get through. But as time passes, Orm's warmth, intelligence, and quiet defiance begin to challenge everything Lingling thought she knew about love. What starts as an arrangement soon becomes something neither of them can ignore-a spark that threatens to upend Lingling's carefully controlled world.

𝐎𝐑𝐌 𝐊𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐍𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐆, It seems like she has everything: rich, beautiful, sexy, smart, graceful, and elegant. She is the 𝐂𝐄𝐎 of 𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍. The 𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 is her life and joy, as she has dedicated all her time and attention to it. In her world, everything must be perfect, that's simply how she lives. 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐊 𝐊𝐖𝐎𝐍𝐆, known to many as the "𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐞," is famous for being an outstanding racer. Her face can be seen posted in every corner of Thailand. 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 is half-Thai and half-Hong Kong. Her late mother, Rosamee Sarawat, was Thai, and her father, 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐊𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐠, is from Hong Kong, but now lives in Thailand with 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆. 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 is playful and mischievous, a little bit of a playgirl, but she promised herself that once she finds "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐞," she will never let them go. Fate, however, has its own sense of humor, because despite living in two completely different worlds, LINGLING and ORM are destined to cross paths. But it's not just a simple encounter they will be bound to each other by a single piece of paper. And what is that? It is a Marriage Agreement. Even though 𝐎𝐑𝐌 doesn't want it, her most beloved company's future depends on this agreement. Meanwhile, for 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆, she believes she has already found "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐞" and it is 𝐎𝐑𝐌. How will this marriage agreement change their completely different worlds?

World-famous singer Lingling Kwong, guarded and emotionally distant, crosses paths with rising supermodel Orm Kornnaphat, whose warmth and affection slowly break through her walls.

In a world ruled by legacy, two women are forced into a marriage neither of them wanted... but fate might have other plans. Orm Kornnaphat is a spoiled heiress - fiery, dramatic, and used to getting her way. She's the rebellious daughter of a powerful food export empire, more interested in stuffed toys and late mornings than boardrooms and responsibilities. When her family forces her into an arranged marriage, she's furious - especially when her bride turns out to be the mysterious stranger who once helped her on a night she can't even remember. Lingling Kwong is the definition of composed. Cold, calculating, and beautiful, she's the only child of the Kwong business dynasty and a boss feared by everyone - but apparently not including her new wife. For Ling, obedience is survival. She's always done what's expected of her, even if it means marrying a bratty stranger for the sake of business and family pride. Thrown into a high-profile marriage neither of them asked for, Orm and Lingling become unwilling partners in a game far bigger than themselves. From chaotic mornings to silent car rides, office wars to stuffed toys invading private spaces - they're learning that hatred, annoyance, and sarcasm might just blur into something else when you're stuck in the same home, same office... and the same destiny. Love isn't part of the plan. But fate? Fate doesn't care what they planned.

From the moment they were born, Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong and Lingling Kwong were destined to be rivals.Their powerful families, shrouded in a history of unspoken conflict, for generations, groomed their heiresses for a lifetime of fierce competition - Orm and Lingling are no exception. Their rivalry is the stuff of tabloid headlines and industry whispers, a never-ending battle for supremacy in business and in life. The latest battleground? The heart of Becky Armstrong, Thailand's beloved actress. Both Orm and Lingling find themselves vying for Becky's attention, their competitive spirits extending even to romance. But what happens when a night of unexpected circumstances leads these lifelong adversaries to wake up in the same bed, naked and bewildered, with no memory of how they got there? Will hating each other still be an option when they start to wonder if what they truly desire is each other?

To redeem her shattered career, Orm must infiltrate the world of the enigmatic Lingling Kwong, a legendary producer, and steal her latest masterpiece. Seduction becomes a dangerous dance, a game of power and desire, where betrayal lurks beneath every stolen glance. When the stakes escalate, Orm must confront her own demons and decide if redemption is worth sacrificing the love that has ignited within the shadows. A/N: This short story is inspired with the song (and its music video) with the same title 'Bad Girls Like You' by Tobii. I was so addicted to the song that I've been listening to it on repeat. Then I came across this picture of LingOrm (the one in the cover) and had this idea of creating a new LingOrm AU story. But since I don't have the luxury of time to spark creativity and improve my writing, I had asked for Gemini's assistance (AI) in writing this story. I just made tweaks and taylor fit it to my liking. 2,3 .. Thanks, Gemini! Let's work together more often hehe. 🫣

Ling y Orm crecieron entre secretos compartidos, carcajadas cómplices y una amistad tan honda que parecía indestructible. Pero a veces, el amor se esconde detrás de la costumbre, y no siempre llega al mismo tiempo para ambas. Mientras Ling arrastró por años un amor silente, Orm apenas comenzaba a descubrirlo... cuando ya era demasiado tarde. Esta es la historia de dos mujeres que aprendieron que las decisiones no solo marcan caminos, también separan destinos. Y que a veces, solo a veces, el amor de tu vida no es aquel que elegiste, sino aquel al que tu alma nunca dejó de volver.

Have you ever heard of a friendship crush? That strange feeling that lingers between admiration and love. It's not just wanting to be friends, but it's not quite something you can name, either. Just a quiet pull to get closer, to understand someone more deeply, without a clear reason why. Orm felt that for Lingling, a girl always within sight, yet never truly part of her world. They weren't friends, merely two people who knew each other from afar. And yet, for reasons she couldn't explain, Orm wanted to know her more. But the courage never came. Until graduation separated them, and that feeling slipped away, unspoken, unresolved. Then, fate brought them back together. In a foreign city, far from home. Under the sky of Melbourne, Orm, a student on exchange, searching for a place to stay and Lingling, offered her a place in her own home. What should've been ordinary turned complicated. There were tremors that shouldn't be there, emotions they couldn't control. And when their time was up, they returned to being strangers. But fate, it seemed, wasn't quite finished with them. Years later, they met again. This time, in Tokyo. Orm thought the feeling had died. But it hadn't. It had only been asleep-now awake, stronger, clearer, and far more painful.
