He's the cold, calculating CEO who rules his empire with an iron fist, a man so wrapped in ambition and solitude that warmth has long since eluded him. 
She's the bright, bubbly café owner whose infectious smile could melt even the iciest of hearts, spreading light to everyone she meets.
 Their worlds couldn't be more different, until a chance meeting at her quaint café turns everything upside down. He's there to escape his high-stakes life, but she's a constant reminder of everything he's avoided: joy, softness, and connection. She's determined to crack his stone-cold exterior, but what happens when the grumpy, black-cat energy of a man starts to feel something for the sunshine who shines a little too brightly? A clash of hearts, wills, and emotions ensues in this opposites-attract romance that's as steamy as it is heartwarming. Will her light be enough to thaw his frozen heart, or will his shadows pull her into the darkness?"

Taming the Ice Queen  by megh_writes
52 parts Complete
The entire office held its breath. The silence was deafening, the tension so thick it could be cut with a knife. No one dared to move, let alone speak. The air was cold-not from the air conditioning, but from the presence of the woman standing at the head of the long conference table. Roohani Singhania's gaze was sharp, her expression carved from stone. She held a contract in her hands, her perfectly manicured fingers tightening around the pages. A single flick of her wrist sent the document flying across the table. "You think I'm a fool?" Her voice was ice, sending shivers down the spines of the men in suits before her. "Do you take me for some naïve little girl you can manipulate?" The CEO of Singhania Enterprises wasn't known for second chances. The man across from her- a senior executive twice her age-swallowed hard, his face pale. "Ms. Singhania, I-" "Get out." The words were simple, final. Deadly. The man scrambled to gather his papers and flee, leaving a suffocating silence behind. No one dared to speak, to move, to breathe. Except for one person. A soft clink echoed in the room. A steaming cup of coffee was placed beside her hand. "Extra strong, no sugar. Just the way you like it."Roohani's gaze flickered up,only for a second. Mahir Sehgal stood beside her, calm as ever. The only person in this entire building who wasn't terrified of her. She said nothing, merely picked up the cup and took a sip. The warmth spread through her, easing the tension in her shoulders. "Meeting's over," Mahir announced smoothly, already gathering her things. And just like that, the Ice Queen turned on her heel and walked away-because why waste time on fools, when she had empires to run? Mahir sighed, shaking his head as he followed her. She was the coldest woman in the business world. He was the only one who could survive her storms. But what happens when the Ice Queen starts melting... for him?

The Billionaire's Sunlight by yrrsneha
39 parts Ongoing
Billionaire's series #1 Devansh Malhotra had never been one for fairy tales. He preferred facts over feelings, order over chaos. His life-his empire-was built on precision, on control. So when his family dropped the bombshell that he was getting married to someone he'd never met, he barely blinked. "Marriage? No thanks," he had grumbled, but there was no escaping the truth. His dadu's ultimatum was simple: "Get married, or lose it all." And so, he found himself standing face to face with Aaradhya Rathore, the girl who was everything he wasn't. She was sunshine wrapped in chaos, a whirlwind of laughter and lightness. The perfect match for a man who thrived in the shadows. "Hi, I'm Aaradhya," she said with a smile that could melt steel. "I guess this is it, huh?" Devansh raised an eyebrow. "This? A business deal, you mean." She laughed, and for a moment, it caught him off guard. "Well, if you think of it that way, sure. But I'm more than a contract, Mr. Malhotra." She tilted her head, eyes sparkling. "I'm a surprise waiting to happen." He chuckled darkly. "I don't like surprises." "Well, lucky for you, I'm full of them." A marriage of convenience. That's what they called it. But for Devansh, nothing about this felt convenient. And for Aaradhya? She was about to turn his world upside down-whether he liked it or not. What neither of them realized was that sometimes, the things you never plan for are the ones that change everything.
