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.

Chosen by the devil

Elena Rossi grew up believing her father died a failed businessman, a man who lost everything before she was old enough to understand why. The Moretti name, on the other hand, became synonymous with power, influence, and quiet control over the city. Their empire stands untouchable. Years later, Elena’s path collides with Enzo Moretti, the heir suffocating beneath that legacy. Their first encounter is strained and imbalanced, shaped by pride, resentment, and circumstances neither of them can undo. Enzo lives in a world built on obedience and appearances. Elena has spent her life surviving without protection. Neither trusts the other, yet neither walks away unchanged. When Elena is pulled deeper into the Moretti orbit, she realizes their cruelty is never random. She is observed, tested, and subtly pressured, as if her presence serves a purpose she cannot yet see. Enzo’s loyalty to his family clashes with his growing awareness that something about Elena unsettles his father in ways he doesn’t understand. As fragments of the past surface, Elena begins to question everything she was told about her father’s death. Inconsistencies in records and guarded reactions hint at a truth buried beneath decades of power. Instead of running, Elena adapts. And when the balance of control within the Moretti empire begins to shift, no one sees her coming. In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal built an empire, Elena must decide whether she will be crushed by legacy or rewrite it.

The Study Contract

It all started with that one proposal, a deal-turned-bait pulling him into something dark, yet irresistible and inescapable. ____ Ryan Kane is mixed-race, poor, and worst still, in a university where everything screams "silver and gold". He thinks his scholarship and education are his only way to a future better than his present. But this guy's grades aren't helping matters as he keeps juggling between lectures, attendance, and part-time jobs. The lower his grades get, the closer he is to withdrawing, going back to his deadbeat of a father, and having a life with nothing. Well, he absolutely doesn't want a reality like that, and to avert that, his only option was getting a tutor. Ryan’s desperate enough to ask Adrian Val. On campus and to everyone, Adrian is the perfect, well-behaved, brilliant heir to a top conglomerate family. While in private, he is a possessive, manipulative jerk who does a lot of unimaginable things. When Ryan proposes tutoring to him, Adrian offers that he pay with his body instead. To him, Ryan can't afford his time and knowledge with just his measly bucks. Ryan says yes to the offer, and along the line, he falls heavily for Adrian. But even when Adrian rejects his confession and treats him like a toy way worse than before, Ryan doesn't leave. He wants the tutoring, the intimacy, the sex, his persistent feelings for Adrian, and the tiny hope that Adrian's heart may steer towards him. It gets even messier when Adrian’s friend Liam enters the picture. Liam is calm, kind, and actually cares about Ryan, but he holds back his feelings to keep the peace. Then there is also Chase, a rich troublemaker who openly flirts with Ryan. Trapped in a dirty cycle of sex, love, and heartbreak, everything Ryan had and held dear to him came tumbling gradually. And by the time he realizes the depth of it, it is too late. Too late to even hold onto anything. Only to be caught between three powerful men who all want a piece of him for different reasons. ____ Years later, the campus gates are closed and Ryan has built a life for himself away from the shadows of Westhill. But his new career brings him face to face with the man that once broke him...
