Before college, Phuwin confesses in a letter and hides it in Pond's bag. Pond never finds it. Years later, after drifting apart, Pond cleans his old backpack and finally opens the letter. But Phuwin's married now, and the timing's gone. "You told me everything too late. Or maybe I found it too late. Either way, we missed it."

Pond was 34 and widowed. Phuwin was 24 and everything. One arranged marriage leads to someone losing their freedom. There is no fanfare, there is just the two of them. There is space, that is waiting to be filled with warmth. And neither know how to do that. Warnings: ☁️ Age Gap ☁️ Contains MPreg ☁️ Short Chapters ☁️ Panic Attack ☁️ Mildly mature scenes

"Warning: This chapter contains non-consensual themes and physical violence." ​"They said 'I do,' but they meant 'I'll destroy you.'" ​Phuwin was a childhood promise-a name Pond Naravit was forced to carry like a heavy chain. For Pond, this marriage isn't a union of hearts; it's a sentence. Driven by the poisonous whispers of his sister and a cold hatred for his father's demands, Pond makes a silent vow: he will make Phuwin regret every second of their life together. ​Stripped of his dignity, starved of affection, and treated like a servant in his own home, Phuwin Tangsakyuen is forced to endure the unthinkable. How much can one heart bleed before it stops beating for the person it once loved? ​In a house filled with shadows and cruelty, can a bleeding vow ever lead to redemption? Or will they both burn in the fire of their own hatred? #PondPhuwin #DarkAU #ForcedMarriage #Angst #Redemption #ToxicLove #Phuwin #PondNaravit
