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?

In the world of glitz and glamour that is under the spotlight, nothing is new except dating rumors and scandals. Entertainment thrives on drama as news headlines usually tend to blur facts and fiction. Some are genuine relationships while others are merely a publicity game; some are only a product of a story line spun out just to grab attention. Personal lives of celebrities become fair games, and this world is one where they will be constantly in the spotlight. In the midst of this chaos, Orm Kornnaphat stands tall as an up-and-coming star; she is a model and actress whose face can be seen plastered on billboards, on the covers of popular magazines, and in television commercials, epitomizing success. Lingling Kwong is the poised and professional CEO of Grandview Hospital and one of the top derma physicians who is known for her placid countenance and elusive personality. Their worlds couldn't be any different, yet fate brings them together in a shocking twist that no one could ever see coming. When Orm and Lingling were spotted leaving a high-end nightclub together in Bangkok, the media and fans went into overdrive, stirring up rumors of a possible romance. But beneath the surface of this unexpected spectacle lies a complex history-one filled with untold stories and unresolved pain. Two women with shared pains from their past haunt themselves as well; two women with secrets not truly prepared to meet and share about; two women on whose shoulders is put all the glare as their every movement into a scintillating scene might drive them to such painful reckoning which might end by healing all wounds or, tearing them forever asunder. //// HIGHEST RANKINGS #1 linglingkwong #1 ormkornnaphat #2 lingling #3 lingorm #16 orm
