Second Place, First Bite
Santi Navarro Thanawat spent his entire life driven by one truth: to be the best, you had to outshine everyone else—even if that meant crushing them beneath your heel. His childhood, marred by the cruel demands of his father, shaped him into a man of sharp edges and colder resolve. Then there was you. Always just beneath him, always second place. From college where he excelled in business and stole the title of top student, to the cutthroat corporate world where your rivalry continued. Everything shifted when you became the owner of a five-star hotel. One heated argument, one slip of control, and suddenly Santi held power over you—your dignity, your heart, your very soul. The intimate, heated moments of your vulnerability, captured on his phone. Your once bitter rivalry was about to turn into something much darker—a game of revenge, of manipulation. But revenge isn't as simple as it seems, and Santi wasn't the monster you thought he was.
