Alexandra took over the family business called "Knight Catering" right after she turned twenty-one when her father passed it down onto her and retired. Her big brother Alejandro could have taken over but he had no passion in the food business (he was more into lawyers and stuff). So that left her to deal with catering; not that she minded. She actually loves it.
Christian is the 'only' heir to the "Wright International University". That was all he ever wanted. Only one thing was stopping him. Because of his rebellious acts lately that led to him being on the newspapers and magazines, his parents gave him an ultimatum: he has to marry a suitable lady of his mother's choice or else he wouldn't inherit the company. Seems easy enough; but not if the supposed to-be-bride decided to run away as soon as she heard of the news.
So Christian has to find her first. Until he received a letter delivered to his penthouse that says, "Call this number to find your answers". So he called it immediately and turns out it was Alexandra's phone number. Also, the runaway bride is Alexandra's best friend. When they found out they were looking for the same person, they teamed up to search for the bride. But, of course, Cupid has his menacing ways.

Beauty and Beast Inc
Belle Seleva and her father just moved to New York City so her father could start working at a international technology company, Beast Inc. Belle, more interested in her studies, visits her father purely to use the company's massive library on one of the top floors. It's in the library she first meets Elias Adams, the young CEO who inherited the company from his deceased father. What Belle doesn't know, is that Elias is close to losing his biggest benefactors if he can't find himself a wife to tie him, and his temper, down. He's angered more than a few people, including his workers. His wife would do more than keep his company's finances stable, it would pacify his workers if he had a woman at his side to help him lead the company. So when her father accidentally destroys a prototype and ends up in the hospital with a comma, Elias offers Belle a deal: Come work for me at my mansion, and I'll pay off your father's medical bills. Belle, not seeing another choice, accepts his offer and moves into his mansion. But another problem arises when Daniel Gaston, Elias's business enemy, tries to woo Belle into marrying him; bribing her with the medicine that could get her father out of the hospital faster. As she adapts into her role as part maid, part secretary, part business correspondent, she tries to battle the honor she feels towards Elias and the want to save her father, wondering if maybe there's a little more to the man who hides in his office every day. #399 in Chicklit November 19, 2017Complete![𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐬 [COMPLETE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/343708280-256-k490838.jpg)
𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐬 [COMPLETE]
"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH.
