Description
Faye Peraya Malisorn, 31, is a powerful intersex mafia leader feared across Southeast Asia, yet a broken woman inside. For two years, she's been married to Yoko Apasra Letpresart, 24-a gentle-hearted, village-raised woman who believed in love, in vows, and in happily ever afters. But their dream of a family remains unfulfilled, and the pressure of infertility chips away at what once felt unbreakable. When Yoko discovers the lipstick on Faye's collar and a sultry text message late one night, their marriage erupts. Faye, torn between guilt and pride, lashes out and in a moment of cruel honesty, says the words no wife should ever hear. Words so venomous, so final, that Yoko walks calmly into the kitchen, speaks her last truth, and ends her life before Faye's eyes blink. Now, haunted by her own cruelty and Yoko's disappear. Faye spirals into grief, revenge, and desperate redemption. But what if love never truly dies? And what if death... is only the beginning of their reckoning?
