Okay, so, I was reading the original book of this and the author discontinued it because they hated the story line and said that somebody else could pick up the story and continue it. I've read SO many comments saying they were going to, but that was so long ago, so I guess they just... didn't. Now, this is my attempt to pick up the story line with as little seams as possible. I'll do my best!
By the way, read the first book! It's REALLY good and I'm surprised the author discontinued it. Also, you'd have to read it to understand this story line.. Well, at least the first few chapters.
QUICK WARNING: This book is rated M because of depictions of kidnapping, death, homophobic-ness, torture, and the occasional swear. If you were looking at the rating and thinking it's a smut book, then you would be wrong. Or right. Might happen, might not, we'll see. But as of right now the rating is for the gore. If you can't handle it, then please don't read. I ain't trying to be sued over here.
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.
