William remembers the warmth they shared without words.

Blood, Fire and Tether [WilliamEst]
"I want more. Do you want something casual between us?" Est asked. William's world is one of cold control, a mafia king stained with blood, "On my terms". Est, a soul of quiet fire, finds himself bound by a tether of impossible terms: no questions, and never a kiss. Some desires, though, refuse to play by the rules. Especially when a shattered soul begins to crave. #Highest Ranking 🏅 #4 williamest ⚠️ Disclaimers: Rated Mature for description/slight visual images of blood.

Almost Hate, Almost Love (WilliamEst / EstWilliam)
An enemies-to-lovers story that follows William and Est-two boys bound by childhood rivalry, stubborn pride, and an unspoken connection that never quite went away. When Est moved into William's quiet Chiang Mai neighborhood, he didn't just bring noise and confidence-he brought change. To William, Est was loud, flashy, and infuriatingly good at everything. To Est, William was cold, smug, and impossible to impress. Over the years, they clashed like fire and ice, turning every shared moment into a silent war of words, glares, and video game showdowns. But everything changes when William finally follows his older brother to university-only to find himself roommates with the one person he swore he'd never tolerate again. Older now. Sharper. Still rivals... but something feels different. Because sometimes, hate lingers too long. And sometimes, it starts to feel a little too much like something else.Complete![The Loop Where You Loved Me [WilliamEst]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/396377460-256-k693965.jpg)

What happens when you are destined to fall for the same person, again and again? William has loved Est from afar for nearly a decade. Est - the star athlete, the campus heartthrob, the boy whose smile could silence a crowd - barely knows he exists. But college is William's last chance to change that. He's worked for this: the right look, the right moment, the perfect first confession. And when Est finally kisses him back, it feels like a dream come true. But something, deep down, tells William... he hasn't just found love -- he has stepped into something he can't escape -- a loop he cannot break! #Highest Ranking 🏅 #2 williamest ⚠️ Disclaimers: Credits for pictures in the book cover goes to original owners, I do not own them.
