The Beast And His Belle by Mel-C-Clair
36 parts Complete Mature
***COMPLETED*** A revamped, modern-day, adult version of the classic fairytale Beauty And The Beast. *** His blazing dark eyes were filled with rage and she finally saw the beast inside him awaken. "You're a monster!" she shouted as the tears rolled down her face in horror. "I don't care what the fuck you think I am! You're mine now and you'll do as I say!" he said in his egotistical deep husky voice. Taking a prominent step closer as he ordered, "Now take off your clothes!" Belle locked her jaw as she held back the tears and with a shaky breath she began to strip down to her laced undergarments. She looked up at his face and saw the wild beast stalking his prey and she began to fume again he had subjected her to such a disgraceful position. She took her dress and with all her might threw it straight at his face in a rage. "You may own me, but take a good look because you will never have me!" She turned and walked to the door but in a quick second, he lunged at her, pinning her against the wall with his strength as his hand ferociously gripped her chin tight, forcing her to keep her eyes locked on his. "You're my wife! You're supposed to give yourself to me!" "A wife is supposed to love you and I hate you! No one could ever love someone like you!" Belle said through her gritted teeth. *** Forced into an arranged marriage to save her father's reputation, Isabelle La Fleur marries Jackson Mason, a billionaire whose family business was handed down to him. As these newlyweds live together, they learn the faults and stories behind each other? Can Belle see through Jackson's beastly exterior and learn to love what's hidden underneath?

A bookwormish girl. A spoiled, troubled heir. A love that looks beneath the surface. After the tragic death of her mother and the loss of her father's job, Isabelle and her family move to a rural town in Kansas to start a new life and have a new hope for the future. Isabelle, a bibliophile, longs for a good read and suddenly stumbles upon a mysterious fairytale book in a secret nook of the local library. That's when everything changes... When her father gets into some hospitality trouble with a bitter, rich (yet handsome) young man Isabelle has no choice but to offer herself as a maidservant to help her family. Now, Isabelle must adjust to a whole new world as a servant in a large mansion with many colorful servants and easily tempered (yet handsome), "beastly" Master Alexander Bettman, a troubled young man who is more than meets the eye. Will Isabelle be able to endure her new surroundings? What is the true reason behind the Master's bitterness, and is it possible for a man like him to come to Christ after so much pain? Based off the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast, this is a story of how the power of kindness and God's word can bring the most beautiful kind of healing even in the most "beastly" circumstances.
