The Rival I Loved First
Seven years ago, Santa lost his parents in a tragic accident and disappeared from Bangkok. After years of hard work rebuilding his family's legacy, he finally returns as the CEO of Aurora Group.
But waiting for him is his greatest rival-Perth Sukumpantanasan, the heir of the powerful empire competing against him.
What Santa doesn't know is that Perth has been watching him for years... and secretly loved him first.
As business turns into war and hidden truths begin to surface, love and revenge collide between two heirs destined to stand on opposite sides.
Sometimes the person you love the most...
is the rival you were meant to destroy.
