On a stormy night, Isabelle Durant finds herself drawn to an old bookstore she hasn't visited in years. As she reaches for the door, she notices a stranger watching her from the shadows. He speaks her name as if he knows her, but she has no memory of him.
Before she can ask questions, he hands her a small velvet-wrapped object-a silver key. Then, in a flash of lightning, he vanishes.
Left standing in the rain, key in hand, Isabelle realizes this is more than a chance encounter. It's the beginning of something mysterious, something dangerous... and she has no choice but to follow where it leads.

Sold To The Mafia King 👑
Phuwin's life shatters the day his step-parents-drowning in gambling debt-sell him to the most feared mafia boss in Bangkok: **Pond Naravit**. Pond doesn't care for anyone. He has blood on his hands, an empire at his feet, and ice in his veins. But when Phuwin is delivered to him like merchandise, bruised and burning with silent rage, something shifts. Pond doesn't want him for pleasure-he wants to *own* the fire in his eyes. Phuwin refuses to bow. Every order, he disobeys. Every stare, he returns with defiance. And with every night they spend in the same mansion-separated only by power and pride-the air thickens with tension. But the world is watching. Rivals want Phuwin dead. Allies want Pond distracted. And no one can know the mafia king is falling for the boy he was never supposed to touch. > **Possession becomes obsession.** > **Hatred turns into something far more dangerous.** > **And when the mafia king bleeds... it's only Phuwin who knows how to stop it.** ---Complete
Billionaire's Obsession (PondPhuwin)
In a city where nights are alive with neon lights and secrets, two lives from opposite worlds cross paths. One grew up with everything money could buy. Power, privilege, and pride. The other carries the weight of responsibilities, surviving each day with quiet strength and guarded eyes. When chance pulls them together, neither expects the encounter to linger. But fate has a way of tying souls in the most unexpected ways-through glances, through stubbornness, through the silent pull that refuses to be ignored. This is a story of two hearts colliding, where desire meets resistance, and where love dares to bloom in the unlikeliest of places.

Whimper Coded. {PONDPHUWIN}
"He ruins reputations by morning, but speaks like a love song when he says my name." (Book Cover Updated)- At Laksara University, Pond is a name whispered with intrigue-tattoos, fast bikes, flunking classes he's too bored to attend, and a reputation for turning hearts into cautionary tales. He's the kind of boy who never apologizes, never explains, and never lets anyone get too close. Until Phuwin. Bright-eyed and endlessly sincere, Phuwin is the kind of student who greets security guards by name and brings extra snacks "just in case someone forgot." He's adored by professors, classmates, and even the stray cat that lives behind the chemistry lab. And somehow-*somehow*-he becomes the only person who makes Pond show up to class on time. They're not supposed to mix. Pond is late nights and bruised knuckles. Phuwin is Sunday mornings and library laughter. But when Pond's voice drops to something soft-*only* for Phuwin-and he starts looking at the world like it might be worth staying in... rumors fly, hearts race, and everything begins to unravel. This is a love story built between campus fights and quiet café corners. The kind where the bad boy doesn't change-he just chooses to be better when *he's with you.* ---Complete

The Hunter [completed]
We are far from people, in the midst of the woods. A cabin by a dark pond. A birthday celebration. An uninvited stranger. "As the storm raged outside, we were sat inside by the fireplace, having a good time talking and playing a board game. I had lit up some candles and it was actually very cosy. Another crack of thunder was heard, and a flash of lightning lit up the small living room. In that very same second, there was a heavy knock on the door."Complete
BRACELET
> "Ah! My coffee-damn it!" Pond froze, hot coffee dripping down his white shirt, his chest rising in anger. "Are you blind?" he snapped. But Phuwin-tiny, flustered, and glowing with guilt-stammered, "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-let me help you, please!" Their eyes met. And just for a second, the world blurred. Pond was still furious. But also... weirdly curious. He didn't know then that this coffee-stained day would be the beginning of his most painful, most beautiful love story.Complete

THINGS I WISH YOU KNEW
Being best friends with Pond was easy. Too easy, actually. He's loud, popular, a walking flirt, and annoyingly attractive if you're into that sort of thing (Phuwin is. Unfortunately.) Phuwin has kept his feelings locked up tighter than Pond's shirt buttons during summer, telling himself it's fine. He's fine. Everything is fine. Until Pond gets a girlfriend. A serious one. And suddenly, Phuwin starts wondering if "best friends" should hurt this much. Meanwhile, Pond blissfully straight and oblivious starts having the weirdest dreams, the weirdest thoughts, and the weirdest reactions every time Phuwin bites back with his usual sass and a dangerous smirk. Love? No way. That would be .. okay, maybe. Maybe yes. Please this is my first fanfiction and I'm not a writer so feel free to like and comment your opinions. I hope y'all like it. Thank you 😊😊
