It's been twelve years since Charlotte left Thailand. She is married now, has children and is living in New York... until Thailand calls her home. Her childhood best friend's mom dies, and she must console her friend. Will Engfa appear? Will her scent be carried in the wind? Will the embers ignite or turn to ash?

Charlotte Austin believed her life was already complete. A single mother to a four-year-old girl, she had built her entire world around Luna. Between work, a busy routine, and the responsibilities she had carried alone for years, there was little room left to think about love. And, to be honest, she was no longer looking for it. Engfa Waraha wasn't looking for anyone either. Dedicated to her career as a pediatrician, she spent her days caring for children and helping families through their most difficult moments. She was happy with the life she had built, but there was a quiet emptiness inside her that even the longest shifts couldn't fill. Then Luna got sick. What should have been nothing more than a routine appointment became the beginning of something none of them expected. Because Luna decided she liked Dr. Engfa from the very first moment. And little by little, through colorful drawings, unexpected messages, movie nights, birthdays, shared smiles, and feelings that appear when least expected, Charlotte and Engfa begin to realize that some people enter our lives so naturally that it's impossible to imagine what life was like before them. They weren't looking for a family. But perhaps love has plans of its own. And sometimes, the most beautiful things in life are the ones we never planned.

Dr. Charlotte Austin saves lives. Engfa Waraha collects debts. They come from completely different worlds and should never have met. But one unexpected encounter changes everything. As Charlotte is pulled deeper into Engfa's dangerous life, both women find themselves caught between love, obsession, loyalty, and secrets that could destroy them. Because some debts can't be paid with money. And some hearts, once given away, can never be taken back. Avarice of the Myocardium - a story of devotion, desire, and a heart that wants more than it should. ⚠️ Content Warning This story contains: Intersex themes (G!P) Mature themes Emotional angst Reader discretion is advised.

In a world where everything you feel can affect everyone and everything you do, feelings become both a gift and a curse. In a world where emotions can change everything, we still wish to hide them to stop hurting, or to stop causing pain. - Charlotte Austin How does it feel to feel? How does it feel to understand someone when you can't even understand yourself? How can I be normal, when from the start, I knew I wasn't? I just want to be normal... just once. - Engfa Waraha

Diz a lenda que um fio vermelho invisível une aqueles que estão destinados a se encontrar, não importa o tempo, o lugar ou as circunstâncias. O fio pode esticar ou emaranhar-se, mas nunca irá se romper. Para Charlotte Austin e Engfa Waraha, no entanto, esse fio parece ter sido banhado em sangue e amarrado com traição. Engfa Waraha é o pecado que Charlotte Austin jurou nunca mais cometer. Charlotte é a redenção que Engfa não acredita mais merecer. Oito anos após o dia em que o fio entre elas pareceu ter se partido em uma adega escura, um atentado brutal coloca a poderosa CEO Waraha entre a vida e a morte. O destino - ou uma jogada de mestre de suas famílias rivais - as coloca sob o mesmo teto, amarradas não apenas pela lenda, mas por uma certidão de casamento que ambas afirmam odiar. Entre corredores estéreis de hospital, escritórios de advocacia onde a ética é opcional e uma mansão cheia de segredos fatais, a tensão sexual explode. Enquanto tentam descobrir quem as traiu no passado, elas percebem que o ódio é apenas a forma que o amor assume quando é ferido. O Akai Ito as trouxe de volta. Mas em um mundo de dívidas de sangue, o fio que as une pode ser o mesmo que as enforcará. Até onde você iria para cortar o fio que te prende ao seu pior inimigo... quando ele também é o grande amor da sua vida?

College life Everyone says it's supposed to be the best years of your life-the time to chase dreams, discover yourself, and meet people who will change your world. But no one ever warns you about the things you don't expect to feel. The way your heart can trip over itself at the sight of someone. The way you can't control it, no matter how much you tell yourself not to. What if, one day, you find yourself falling for someone you know you shouldn't love? And what if-just when you're trying to hide those feelings-someone else steps into your life, someone who looks at you like you're more than ordinary, someone who makes you feel special in a way you've never felt before? College isn't just about lectures, exams, and late-night study sessions. It's about the people you meet, the moments you never expect, and the feelings you can't always explain. This is where it all begins. ------------------ Warning: ⚠️ this story I'm making has a 🔞

After eleven years together and seven years of marriage, Charlotte Austin believed her life was built on something permanent. Routine. Devotion. The quiet certainty of shared breath beneath the same roof. At thirty-one, the renowned photographer thought she understood how marriages survived. She believed stability came from endurance, from learning how to hold the fragile structure of a life together. She was wrong. When her wife, Engfa Waraha-a thirty-four-year-old trauma surgeon-begins to change, the shift is so subtle Charlotte cannot name it at first. There is no argument. No confession. No moment where something clearly breaks. Just distance. Conversations shorten. Glances become unreadable. The warmth that once defined their home recedes into a silence that grows heavier with every passing day. Engfa offers no explanation. And Charlotte, who has built a career capturing the delicate moment before something collapses, finds herself standing inside one she cannot understand. Because the most unsettling fractures are not the ones that shatter loudly. They are the ones that form quietly-between unfinished sentences, avoided questions, and the slow realization that the person beside you may already be somewhere else. As doubt settles into the spaces their love once occupied, Charlotte begins to question everything she thought she knew about loyalty, trust, and the quiet promises people make when they believe a life together is permanent. What she does not yet realize is that some truths in a marriage do not arrive as revelations. They exist long before anyone is willing to admit them. And sometimes the real damage is not what one person hides, but what the other refuses to see. ⚠️ Content Warning: This story contains GP/Intersex themes, a slow-burn storyline, heavy angst, and infidelity. Please feel free to skip it if you're not comfortable with these themes.

Charlotte had spent the past six months pretending she wasn't heartbroken. She threw herself into work, took on the most dangerous assignments, and avoided Engfa like the plague. But now, Engfa was her boss. She couldn't escape her. She was everywhere, making it nearly impossible for Charlotte to focus. This was why she preferred fieldwork-less office time, fewer chances of running into Engfa. And just when she thought it couldn't get any worse- "CHARLOTTE, WHAT THE HELL?!" Patcha slammed her laptop shut and glared at her. "Why is your name trending on Twitter?" Charlotte blinked. "...Huh?" Lin cackled. "Oh, girl, you're in trouble. BIG trouble." Charlotte grabbed her phone, opened Twitter, and-oh. Oh, no. #JournalistExposed #GrandInsiderScandal There, clear as day, was a photo of her breaking into a restricted government building last night. Engfa finally spoke, voice cold and sharp. "Charlotte. My office. Now." Shit.
