It was 4:30 P.M. when Aaliyah Zarren was reported sleeping with the COO of her Public Relations firm.
Well, allegedly.
Now jaded and half-functioning with a promised job slipping through her fingers, Aaliyah was desperate to get back on New York City's good graces and impress her boss, or she'd have to return to her life in her father's shadow. And she was willing to do anything, even if it meant becoming Octavio Castellano's, casanova of the art world's, nude model.

More Than A Contract
Two strangers. Two scars. One contract. And a love neither of them saw coming. Aaliyah Miracle Cruz had always been the woman who held herself together. A psychiatrist by profession and an heiress by blood, she lost everything that mattered the most-her parents, her childhood sense of security, and her native home in the Philippines. In Saudi Arabia, she lives not as the wealthy landowner's daughter, but as a composed doctor walking a foreign land with discipline and quiet strength. Until one mistake-one bump in a hospital hallway-leads her straight into the storm of Ashdrey Lopez Al-Jazira's life. Ashdrey is not just handsome. He is dangerously powerful-an Arab-Spaniard billionaire who inherited oil empires, luxury hotels, and global enemies. With his 38th birthday fast approaching, he's backed into a corner by greedy relatives and an ultimatum: marry now, or divide the empire his father built. The woman his uncle wants for him? His cousin. A marriage of bloodlines, culture, and control. A prison he refuses to enter. But when fate hands him Aaliyah-graceful, guarded, and gorgeously unassuming-Ashdrey makes a choice: "Marry me. No feelings. Just business. A contract." To Aaliyah, it's a lifeline. She's 26, unmarried, and weary of starting over. She agrees, believing love is not in the fine print. But feelings have a way of rewriting even the coldest contracts. He falls first. She falls harder. But Aaliyah is left wondering... will someone catch her? When Ivanka, Ashdrey's elusive first love, returns with beauty, ambition, and unfinished business, everything unravels. Secrets threaten to resurface. Loyalties begin to blur. And Aaliyah must face a brutal truth: was she always just the safe choice? Set across the sands of Riyadh, and the silent rice fields of the Philippines, More Than a Contract is a breathtaking tale of forbidden love, second chances, and the fragile hope that the heart-even when bound by contract-still knows how to choose.Complete
When Fate Walked Past Us
It's my first time writing a story here on Wattpad so please support me this story is taglish. In the glittering chaos of Manila, two worlds collide - one painted in light, the other steeped in shadows. Celestine Montero Virel, a 23-year-old business magnate, is known for her cold precision and ruthless efficiency. Born into power, molded by a father who leads an empire built in both blood and brilliance, she hides her softness beneath pearl necklaces and white heels. The world knows her as untouchable - elegant, dangerous, and unreachable. Until she meets Caiden Maurex Santiago Sandoval, a 26-year-old painter and photographer from a rival family of power and infamy. He captures beauty for a living - but the moment he sees her in the museum, framed by the glow of Manila light and the echo of her solitude, he finds a new muse. But in their world, love is never just love. It's a dangerous game of control, secrets, and silent wars - where one wrong move could ruin empires and hearts alike. And beneath the soft green of her favourite flowers lies the colour of envy, desire, and something far darker. 10-12-25
