Hello! I am Ashyy, a passionate romance writer from the Philippines. I love writing billionaire, workplace, and forced love stories with strong emotional drama and sweet happy endings. My story "The Billionaire I was Never Meant to Love" is my first exclusive book on Stary. I update daily and I dream to be a long-term contracted writer here. Follow me for daily updates of Bella and Blaine's love story! Thank you for supporting my writing journey.
Cassian Reid Alcantara is a cold, ruthless CEO who can buy anything with money. Except her.
Savi Laureen Dela Cruz is a funny, poor, hard-to-get waitress who has one rule: Never fall for a rich, cold guy. She calls him "Sir Iceberg" and charges him "suplado tax" for frowning.
When Cassian's car breaks down in the rain, he gets stuck in Savi's cheap cafe. She gives him bitter black coffee and a free pandesal, even while calling him cold and arrogant.
He is intrigued. No girl has ever dared to tease him. She is not intimidated by his money or his cold grey eyes.
He keeps coming back. Every day. Buying her cheap coffee, buying all her ukay-ukay, just to hear her laugh at him.
She is hard-to-get. She says "I don't like you, Sir Iceberg!" even when her heart beats fast. She refuses to admit she is falling, even though she remembers he hates onions and brings him breakfast.
But Cassian feels it. Even without words, he knows she loves him through her small actions - the extra pandesal, the fixed necktie, the way she stays when he is sick.
She will take a long time to admit it. But when she finally does, it will be worth every cold day and every funny fight.
A slow-burn, love-hate, opposite-attraction contract marriage story about a cold CEO who falls first, and a funny girl who is too scared to fall, but loves him in silence.
Will Sir Iceberg melt the hard-to-get funny girl? Or will she keep saying NO until it's too late?
She was never meant to be the bride.
Kaela's sister was supposed to marry Rhys Anderson - the cold, ruthless billionaire every woman wants and every man fears.
But on the wedding day, her sister ran away.
To save her family from ruin, Kaela is forced to walk down the aisle in her sister's dress. In sneakers. With messy hair.
She expected Rhys to cancel the wedding and humiliate her.
Instead, he looks her in the eye and says:
"Then you will marry me."
One year. That's the deal. Be his wife in public, a stranger in private.
But Rhys Anderson doesn't play by his own rules.
He said don't fall in love with me.
So why is he getting jealous when other men look at her?
Why does he whisper "you're mine" when he thinks she's asleep?
And why does the substitute bride feel more like the real thing every day?
She was the replacement.
He was never supposed to want her.
But now he can't let her go.
Adrian Blake has everything money can buy—power, success, and a family name that opens every door. The only thing he refuses to have is love.
Then he meets Elena Carter on a rainy night.
She is everything his world tells him to stay away from: independent, ordinary, and completely unimpressed by his wealth. Yet from the moment their eyes meet, an invisible force pulls them closer together.
What begins as a chance encounter slowly becomes something neither of them can escape.
But Adrian's powerful family has already chosen the woman they want him to marry. When his father discovers Elena, he will do everything possible to tear them apart.
Adrian must choose between the life his family planned for him and the woman who has changed everything.
Because some loves are chosen. Others are impossible to resist.
And sometimes, two hearts are simply drawn together—like magnets.
Bella thought she was just his temporary secretary. Blaine Sterling, the cold, arrogant billionaire CEO who was never meant to look her way. He was rich, powerful, and engaged to someone else. She was just trying to survive.
But one night, one mistake, changes everything. Now he's obsessed, possessive, and he won't let her go. He says she belongs to him. She was the billionaire he was never meant to love — but now he will ruin anyone who tries to take her away.
