Belle Cordsworth wanted to have her own life. Louie simply wanted one worth living. For a simple deal, both got what they needed, but now things have gone awry. Belle's worst fear has come to light. Her brother is missing and her mother is dying. A mysterious realm may hold all she needs to return everything back to normal, but at what cost? _______ Accidental Beauty and the Beast retelling with a, perhaps, different end. © T. R. Wood a.k.a.

Update 3-7-19: From now on, I will be going through each chapter and changing the tenses(?). Currently my story is in present tense as I wanted something similar to Hunger Games where it feels like you are with the story. However, I feel it does not do it justice how I truly want it, so I will be reverting it to the normal. Hopefully this doesn't cause much of a disturbance to it or to you, dear readers. Further updates will be on my page, possibly in comments, or extra chapters. This is a work in progress. As it stands, please take this as a long rough draft that happily welcomes constructive criticism. For a story description, please move on to the new first chapter. ©T. R. Wood a.k.a.
