Albatross
⸻ 🌸 Author's Note When I first started writing The Jeweler's Daughter, I honestly just wanted to see what it would feel like to create my own little world - a story that could offer a bit of escape, a bit of joy, and maybe touch someone's heart along the way. I never imagined that so many of you would read it, or that I would receive such kind messages, support, and love from all of you. I'm truly grateful to everyone who's been with me on this journey. 💌 This new story marks a new chapter in my life - something fresh, mysterious, deeply emotional, and very close to my heart.

Her dream - to become a writer and live peacefully among the Galápagos Islands - is far from what her family expects of her. But life takes an unexpected turn when fate brings her to one of Thailand's most influential advertising agencies - and to the mysterious woman who will change everything: Freen. Freen isn't the kind of person who sits still and waits. She's drawn to faraway places, to the thrill of cameras and discovery. Yet, one night on a dark balcony, everything changes - a misunderstood kiss, an encounter shrouded in mystery - and for Becky, Freen becomes the enigmatic "Albatross", someone she both longs for and fears to get close to.

While Becky remains tied to her fiancé, Freen must hide her feelings - and both women realize that love is never simple when trust and jealousy pull them in different directions. This story is filled with drama, humor, and unexpected turns - and one question that decides it all: Can two young women find their way back to each other amid the chaos of love and do
