The Gangster's Crush Family over Freedom

"Cupcake, if you don't agree to marry me, no one can help you from getting killed. You, your parents, and your friend—they'll be dead the moment I step out, not because I want to kill you or them but because everyone who goes against my word must die; that's the rule. Marrying me will just keep you safe. Don't worry, I am not a monster and yes, after today no one would dare think about marrying you." "What??" Rida thought the quota of her misery would be over now that Drake was gone but the miseries were not done dealing with her. Zeus smirks looking at her. Was this his plan all along? Rida followed him as he walked out of the venue. "Say your goodbyes; we are leaving," Zeus states, staring back at Rida, who had no idea what just happened. "But—I—" "We don't have time," Zeus reminds her. "But—" "Your parents will die, Rida!" Rida agreed to marry the monster because of her parents, to keep them safe, and even now she has no choice but to leave with a stranger to assure their safety. "Can't you help—" Zeus stares at her. Why would he help someone who means nothing to him? Maybe he could have but why would he want to do that without a reason? "..." Which is a better option? Marrying a r*pist or his boss? Rida was left with worse choices, but her parents' lives depended on her decision. Why? Who? When? Didn't matter when lives were at stake. Rida chooses to go with Zeus when promised to keep her parents alive and safe. She traded her life and freedom for their lives; it's a pretty deal? Isn't it? Will it really be? The Gangster's Crush is a story- about love, trust, loyalty, and revenge

The Contract That Bound Bangkok’s King

Lalin Vongviphan is a gifted architect whose life is a blueprint of crumbling dreams. While she spends her days designing skylines, her reality is grounded in the suffocating debt of her father’s gambling—a staggering one billion baht owed to Bangkok’s most ruthless predators. When the sharks begin to circle her family, an unlikely savior appears from the glass towers of the city: Phakin Rattana, the reclusive billionaire known as the "King of Bangkok." Phakin offers a lifeline that feels more like a golden noose. He will erase her father’s debt and provide top-tier medical care in exchange for a three-year marriage contract. Lalin must play the role of the perfect, devoted wife to repair his image and navigate the treacherous waters of high-society PR. She enters the "Gilded Cage" expecting cold indifference, but she is met with a man who is as intoxicating as he is terrifying. Behind his clinical mask, Phakin is a man of "obsidian" features and "casually cruel" beauty, whose touch—though rare—ignites an electric connection Lalin cannot explain. However, Lalin is unaware that she is the centerpiece of a decade-long masterpiece of revenge. Phakin blames Lalin’s father for the Red Sky Mall collapse—a tragedy that claimed the lives of his parents. To him, Lalin is not a wife; she is a variable to be "neutralized," a hostage taken to force her father to watch his most precious possession belong to his enemy. As they navigate "public perception management" trips to private islands and glittering galas, the scripted lines begin to blur. Phakin find himself protecting Lalin from his own ex-fiancée, Araya, and her past flame, Kit. In the "Shadow of the West Wing," Lalin discovers the dark truth of Phakin’s obsession, leading to a collision of secrets. When the realization hits that they may both be pawns of a deeper conspiracy involving "Emerald Peak," the King of Bangkok must decide if he will follow his plan to break her, or burn his empire to the ground to keep her.
