TOP CHAR BOTTOM ENG In another universe, who was Engfa Waraha if she stayed in Udon Thani and never joined Miss Grand? Would she be married? Was she gay? Would she enjoy fame? And how would she meet Charlotte Austin in this life? If luck was a spectrum, then they stood on the opposite ends. There shouldn't be a reason to meet or to fall in love, but fortunately or unfortunately for her, Charlotte happened to be the most stubborn woman in the world. #ExtremeSlowBurn

(AGE GAP ‼️) - !! MATURE !! Charlotte never planned on falling in love with her professor. She didn't even plan on going to university. Pushed by her parents to get "any degree," she stumbles back into Bangkok at twenty-one, restless, directionless, and searching for herself. Then she meets Dr. Waraha - the youngest professor at Siam Chamber University. At thirty, she's brilliant, cold, and untouchable. Every student admires her, but no one dares get close. But Charlotte can't escape her. Waraha's course is mandatory, and failing isn't an option. What starts as brutal office hours and constant clashes begins to blur into something more dangerous. Charlotte tells herself she hates her professor. Waraha insists Charlotte is young and naïve. Yet neither can deny the pull dragging them closer, past the line they should never cross As whispers spread and the walls close in, Charlotte and Waraha find themselves at a crossroads. A romance where every glance is a risk, every kiss could be the end, and two women learn that sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do... is fall in love.

They were never supposed to fall in love. The Warahas and the Austins-two empires built on pride, power, and legacy. Together, they controlled half of Bangkok. Money. Influence. Generational tension. And for decades, one rule remained unbroken: Do not cross lines. Do not do business. Do not dine. Do not fall in love. But then came Charlotte Austin and Engfa Waraha. From High School hallways to university dorms.... From whispered promises to wedding vows. They defied every warning. They kissed in back hallways while their families made threats in boardrooms. They snuck away from galas to whisper dreams in parking lots lined with limousines. And one day... they got married. The whole of Bangkok celebrated. A love that ended a legacy of rivalry-headlines, press, pure joy. Two hearts swearing forever-against all odds. The Austins were furious. The Warahas were livid. But love... love softened everything. The families made peace. They broke bread. They built empires-together. Waraha x Austin became the business world's most powerful alliance. ⸻ Until the night it all shattered. One brutal fight. One overdose. One memory-erased. Engfa Waraha woke up with no recollection of the woman she married. And fate?It had the audacity to bring Charlotte Austin back into her life...This time, as her therapist. But Charlotte?She remembers everything. The vows. The kisses. The heartbreak. And Engfa? She's falling in love all over again....With the woman she once called hers. But what happens when the memories come back?Will love survive it all.. Or destroy them both-twice? ⸻

Engfa Waraha never believed in fate - until it threw her straight into the path of Charlotte Austin, the one person she couldn't stand. To Engfa, Charlotte was nothing but a spoiled, entitled brat - the type of girl who had always looked down on her, believing the world owed her everything. And to Charlotte, Engfa was the player who never took anything seriously, always playing the system. But fate, relentless and unforgiving, had other plans. One moment - one touch - and everything changed. What began as a fierce rivalry between two girls who couldn't have been more different slowly evolved into something more complicated, more dangerous. A storm of hate, desire, and undeniable connection - woven together by a force neither could comprehend. Then, without warning, Charlotte vanished. No explanations, no goodbyes. Engfa never understood why Charlotte left - and maybe that was the worst part. It wasn't just the absence; it was that she disappeared when they'd finally begun to understand each other. Years passed. The questions never left. The rage dulled. The emptiness remained. Just as Engfa thought she'd finally moved on, fate dragged her back to Charlotte - in a sleek office, in one unforgettable moment. What if fate had never let go, forcing them to confront what they could never forget? What if facing the truth could unite them in ways they couldn't predict? The space between past and present is filled with unanswered questions: Charlotte's disappearance, and the unbreakable bond that continues to shape their lives. ***** ⚠️‼️ This story contains: - Intersex themes (G!P) - Mature/explicit content - Angst If this isn't your cup of tea, feel free to skip it.
