Angelica Alexander

The Contract Bride of Mr. Reid

“Help me, please,” Bella pleaded, grasping his hands. His dark eyes, devoid of warmth, pierced through hers with an unsettling coldness. "Why should I mess with those goons to help you?" he asked callously. “I’ll do anything you say,” she said without thinking, desperate. “Just save me from them.” He demanded something that Bella had never anticipated even in her dreams. A contract marriage! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bella Dawn was already in distress to pay her step father’s debts. To add her misery, her mother was diagnosed with liver disease and needed immediate transplant. Where would she get that much money? Then, like a cruel twist of fate, she accidentally encountered a handsome man, Theodore Reid, the enigmatic CEO of Ace Group. Rumors said that he was a ruthless businessman with a heart as cold as ice. Yet, to Bella, he was kind, rescuing her from the clutches of those who sought to exploit her. She was grateful to him until he demanded something weird, shattering her pervious assumptions. He wanted to marry her. No He wanted a contract marriage. In exchange, he would take care of her mother's treatment and compensate her generously at the end of their arrangement. For Theodore, it was a solution born out of necessity, a means to appease his grandfather's demands for an heir while he searched for the one who had once saved him, his angel. Bella’s appearance reminded him of his savior. So, he offered her a contract marriage. It was a temporary solution to his grandfather’s demand to get an heir until he found his angel. With no other options left, Bella reluctantly agreed to the terms of the contract. But little did she know it would test her resolve and resilience like never before. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Remember one thing, never fall in love with me,” he said, cold and dangerous. Bella gulped, nervous. “What if I do?” A sliver of defiance, a foolish question escaped her lips. She was already attracted to his handsome appearance. He squeezed her jaw and hissed, “You will regret it.” “What if you started liking me?” she dared to ask. He leaned closer, his breath warm against her ear. "No chance," he scoffed. "You're not my type." Bella’s heart sank. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can check my other books.

Mr. Sterling, Your Wife Has Changed. Did You Notice?

Sophia Reed never expected to wake up in the body of a billionaire’s wife, especially one whose life was filled with humiliation and pain. Bullied by her husband, Alexander Sterling, and scorned by everyone in his elite circle, the old Sophia was a shadow of herself—until she died. Now, the new Sophia has taken over. Armed with the memories of the tragic novel she transmigrated into, she refuses to play the role of the meek and desperate wife. She wants nothing to do with Alexander, especially now that she sees him for the cold, cruel man he truly is. But when Sophia demands a divorce, Alexander refuses. Her newfound confidence and sharp defiance awaken something in him—something dark, possessive, and obsessive. He’s determined to keep her, no matter what it takes. As Sophia uncovers the web of lies and betrayals surrounding her, she begins to rebuild her life, exposing her enemies one by one. With the help of a loyal ally, she rises as a powerful force in her own right, catching Alexander off guard. He wants her back, but she wants freedom. Will Sophia break free from the chains of her past, or will Alexander's obsession pull her back into the shadows of his control? In a battle of revenge, redemption, and desire, only one can emerge victorious. --- Sophia’s voice was cold as ice, her green eyes glinting with unyielding resolve. “You think you can own me with your wealth and power, Alexander? You’ve underestimated me for the last time. I’d rather walk away with nothing than stay trapped in your gilded cage.” Alexander’s jaw clenched, his gray eyes burning with an intensity that bordered on desperation. “Walk away? You think I’ll let you leave? You don’t understand, Sophia. You’re mine. You always have been, and you always will be.” Her laugh was sharp and cutting, like a blade. “Mine? You didn’t care about me until I stopped caring about you. Now, you can’t stand that I’m no longer at your mercy.” She stepped closer, her voice dropping to a lethal whisper. “Here’s the truth, Alexander—you’re not the man I loved in the book, and you’re certainly not the man I want in real life.” His breath hitched, the weight of her words slamming into him like a freight train. “You don’t mean that.” “Oh, I do,” she replied with a smirk, stepping back. “The only question is, Alexander, how far will you go to prove me wrong?”

I did not mean to disturb you but... this is something very important." "Let's have it then." replied Angelica closing the book she had been reading as she laid eyes on the maid. The maid gulped, the fear evident in her eyes, she did not know how Angelica would react to the severely bad news she had brought with her, however, one thing was sure, Angelica would not react lightly at all. "My... m...y prince...ss the..." said the maid, causing Angelica to sigh in annoyance, rolling her eyes, she had better things to do than sit here listening to the maid's mumbling. "Yes, say it." said Angelica giving the maid a hand. "My princess, the crowned prince has returned." said the maid. "Oh... well that's nice... I guess I will see him later, or better yet tomorrow.

"But what?" asked Angelica, her senses tingling, she had a inking that there was something wrong from the maid's strange behaviour. "But his highness..." paused the maid. "Out with it now." said Angelica sternly. "His highness has returned with a strange woman and the rumours claim that she's his new wife!" spat out the maid as Angelica suddenly felt lightheaded and she fell back down on the chair. "My princess!" cried the maid as she rushed to her. "This is some sort of farce." said Angelica as the maid proceeded quickly to fan her with a cloth. "No my princess... it is true." replied the maid. "This is impossible. Ian must be mad, I am going to see this display of stupidity for myself!" said Angelica hotly, quickly rising up and storming out of the room as the poor maid followed behind her. ||||

The Nanite Necromancer: Resurrecting Darkness

Alexander sank deeper into the salty river that fed into the Ocean. his wound bleeding into the ocean, despite the cauterizing burn from the quarter sized hole. 'No, please. Not like this. Not when everything was working out. Quin, Seraphina, Grey, I'm so sorry. every time I try to fix things.. I should have know not to trust those rich bastards. I swear to any god that will listen, give me a break, will you!' Alexander replayed the moment of the attack. Kahawai stood over Alexander with the golden flame threatening to blast him. the spell was a low first tier spell using fire and air to condense and increase in power enough to melt metal. "You're joking, right Kahawai. You cant just hit me with that. I'm only ranked F. Your going to kill me." He flinched, taking a step backwards. the edge of the dock making him step forward again. "You have no one to blame but yourself, Alexander. This world is unforgiving and I cannot have you as a weak link. This is to important! Survive this and you will prove you are ready. If you cant then you will die here. Better her than getting the rest of us killed later." Kahawai held his spell at Alexander, firing at his center. 'I wont die, not like this!' A swirl of darkness took him further down into the river, swallowing him. Do you wish to live? 'Yes!' Will you serve? 'Yes, as long as I can live with my family. Anything.' Then I have found you. The soothing voice faded, releasing the darkness around him. A mass of darkness flooded round Alexander, slightly different from the magical darkness. it covered his body and entered the wound and into his body. 'User found, initiating repair function. greeting user. Hello host, you may call us, Lunaris.'

Alexander replied and he watched the mischievous gleam that entered the prince's clear blue eyes that were quite a welcome compliment to his thick silver hair. "Alright." he relented and Alexander blinked, surprised but his relief lasted for seconds. "We will see how far you can run my honorable knight. Oh and just so you know, I love a good chase."
