Synopsis

Dark Romance

CEO

Contract Marriage

Love after Marriage

Forgiveness

Some debts can only be paid in blood... or marriage. When Isabella Caldwell wakes to her father's anguished howl, she discovers her family's fortune has vanished overnight. But the truth is far worse than bankruptcy. Fifteen years ago, her father caused the deaths of Alexander Blackwood's parents, and now the bill has come due. The terms are simple and non-negotiable: Isabella will marry Alexander, or her family loses everything,including her mother's critical medical care. Alexander Blackwood has spent six years meticulously planning his revenge. Cold, calculated, and utterly ruthless, he's built an empire from the ashes of his family's destruction. Taking Winston Caldwell's daughter as his wife is the perfect punishment for the man who orphaned him at sixteen. What he doesn't expect is Isabella herself, fierce, talented, and unflinching even as her world collapses around her. She agrees to the marriage but makes one thing clear: he may own her name, but he'll never possess her spirit. As these two damaged souls begin their paper marriage, unexpected sparks ignite between them. But can passion overcome the weight of the past? Or will Alexander's need for vengeance consume them both? BLOOD CONTRACT is a dark, emotional romance featuring a brooding anti-hero, a resilient artist determined to survive, and a marriage arrangement that's binding in more ways than one.

CHAPTER 1
ISABELLAThe Caldwell family fortune died on a Tuesday.I was standing in my studio, barefoot on the paint-splattered floorboards, when I heard my father's howl from two floors below. Not a shout or a yell,a howl. The kind of sound that cracks foundations and shatters family legacies.My paintbrush clattered to the floor, splattering crimson across the hem of my white linen dress. Fitting. Everything about this day would soon be stained with red.I didn't run downstairs. Not immediately. Instead, I stood frozen, watching the dark red paint creep through the fabric fibers of my dress, blooming like blood. The canvas before me,nearly finished after weeks of work,suddenly looked childish and trivial. A commission for a local gallery that had once seemed so important.The grandfather clock at the end of the hallway chimed three times, snapping me back to reality. Whatever had made my father sound like that couldn't be good. I tossed my palette onto the side table and hurried toward the st

CHAPTER 2
ALEXANDERI could still smell her on me.Paint and lilacs and fear,a heady combination that clung to my suit despite the short walk from the Caldwell mansion to my waiting car. I loosened my tie as James slid into the seat beside me, the leather portfolio containing Winston Caldwell's damnation tucked neatly under his arm."That went well," he remarked dryly, signaling to the driver.I didn't respond. My mind was still in that study, cataloging every detail of Isabella Caldwell's reaction. The flash of defiance in those wide amber eyes. The slight tremor in her full lower lip that she'd tried so hard to control. The way her fingers had curled into fists at her sides, paint-stained and delicate but somehow conveying a strength that surprised me.She was nothing like I'd expected.For six years, I'd studied her from a distance. Photos from gallery openings and charity events. Social media accounts that offered carefully curated glimpses into her life. Detailed reports from private inves

CHAPTER 3
ISABELLA"I killed his parents."My father's words hung in the air between us, awful and impossible."What are you talking about?" I whispered, my legs trembling as I sank back into the chair opposite his desk. The velvet ring box still sat where Blackwood had placed it, a silent harbinger of my future. "Tell me you're not serious."He wouldn't meet my eyes. "It's complicated, Izzy.""Then un-complicate it!" My voice rose sharply. The shock was wearing off, giving way to a fury I'd never felt before. "How exactly does one accidentally kill someone's parents?""I never said it was an accident." He drained his glass and set it down with a heavy thud. "But I never meant for it to happen.""That makes absolutely no sense." I ran shaking fingers through my hair, loosening strands from my messy bun. "Start from the beginning. Please."My father looked older than I'd ever seen him, the weight of secrets visibly crushing him. He stared at the empty glass for a long moment before speaking."Ja

CHAPTER 4
ALEXANDERI stood at the window of my office, hands clasped behind my back, watching the city spread out beneath me like a kingdom I'd conquered. From fifty-eight floors up, Boston looked orderly, controlled,each street and building precisely where it should be. Just the way I preferred my world.The intercom on my desk buzzed precisely at 2:55 PM."Mr. Blackwood," my assistant's voice was carefully neutral. "Ms. Caldwell is here to see you."Five minutes early. Interesting."Send her up in exactly five minutes," I replied.A small power play, perhaps, but in negotiations, every detail mattered. And make no mistake,despite the contract being ironclad, Isabella Caldwell was still negotiating. She simply didn't realize yet how little leverage she had.I moved to my desk, arranging myself in the leather chair that had been selected specifically for its imposing height. The contract sat centered on the polished surface, the blue leather binding a stark contrast against the black desktop.

CHAPTER 5
ISABELLAI made it exactly three blocks from Blackwood Tower before my composure shattered.My knees buckled beneath me, and I barely managed to steady myself against the cool stone of a building facade. Pedestrians streamed past, a few casting curious glances at the woman in the black dress who suddenly couldn't remember how to breathe.The weight of what I'd just done pressed against my chest like a concrete slab. I'd said yes. I'd agreed to marry Alexander Blackwood,a man who had meticulously orchestrated my family's downfall, who had watched me for years with cold calculation, who had openly admitted that I was nothing more than an instrument of revenge.And I was to be his wife in four days.I stared down at the black pearl ring glinting on my finger, its darkness both beautiful and ominous. Rare. Formed under pressure. Beautiful, but not in the conventional way.His words echoed in my mind, the unexpected moment of something almost like sincerity in an otherwise transactional en

CHAPTER 6
ISABELLA"And what happens when he decides those terms are inconvenient? This man has been planning this for years, Izzy. You think he'll just respect your boundaries out of the goodness of his heart?"Her questions mirrored my own fears,fears I'd pushed aside during my meeting with Blackwood because showing vulnerability in front of him seemed like surrendering even more power."I don't know," I admitted. "But I do know that right now, this is my only path forward."Maya was quiet for a moment. Then, "When's the wedding again?""Saturday. Nine AM.""Where?""His estate on the North Shore. It's just going to be a small ceremony,basically the legal minimum.""I'm coming with you," she said, her tone brooking no argument. "As your witness."Relief flooded through me. The thought of facing that day alone had been almost as terrifying as the marriage itself."Thank you," I whispered. "I was hoping you would.""No way am I letting you walk into that lion's den alone." Her voice softened. "

CHAPTER 7
ALEXANDERThe conference room fell silent as I entered, fourteen executives straightening in their chairs like schoolchildren caught passing notes. The quarterly financial review was scheduled to last three hours,an inconvenience when my thoughts kept drifting to more personal matters."Gentlemen. Ladies." I nodded curtly, taking my place at the head of the table. "I believe we were discussing the expansion into Southeast Asian markets."My CFO cleared his throat. "Yes, Mr. Blackwood. I was just about to walk the team through the projections for the first quarter following acquisition."I gestured for him to continue, forcing myself to focus on the slides flashing across the screen. Numbers. Data. Predictions. The clean, controllable elements that had built my empire. Yet today, they failed to command my full attention.It had been twenty-four hours since Isabella Caldwell had walked into my office and agreed to become my wife. Twenty-four hours during which I'd found myself unexpecte

CHAPTER 8
ALEXANDERMorning came with clinical precision, my alarm chiming at exactly 5:30 AM. I rose and dressed for my morning run,five miles along the Charles River, the same route I'd taken for years. Physical discipline was as important as mental, and I allowed no exceptions for personal disruptions, no matter how significant.The city was quiet at this hour, just beginning to stir with early commuters and delivery trucks. I ran at a punishing pace, pushing my body harder than usual, as if I could outrun the questions circling in my mind since Isabella's visit to my office.By the time I returned to the penthouse, showered, and dressed for the day, it was 7:15, exactly on schedule. My phone contained several messages from James about the Rothwell meeting, a confirmation from the wedding planner, and a final message from my head of security:Subject working in studio since 5 AM. No contact with Winston Caldwell.I found myself wondering what drove Isabella to rise so early. What she was cre

CHAPTER 9
ISABELLAI watched the sun rise on my wedding day with dry eyes and a hollow feeling in my chest.Sleep had been impossible, so I'd spent the night in my studio, finishing the commission that had seemed so important just days ago. Now the completed canvas leaned against the wall, a stranger's work created by a woman who no longer existed. By noon, Isabella Caldwell would disappear, replaced by Isabella Blackwood,wife of a man who had orchestrated her family's destruction.The irony wasn't lost on me.I turned away from the window, my gaze falling on the garment bag hanging from my closet door. Inside was the dress Maya and I had found at Bergdorf's,not white, not even ivory, but a deep midnight blue that looked almost black until the light caught it just right. Sleek, elegant, with a high neck and an open back that Maya had declared "just the right amount of defiant sensuality."Blackwood's stylist had arrived yesterday with five traditional wedding gowns in tow,all ivory silk and del

CHAPTER 10
ISABELLAMaya squeezed my hand. "Then that's what we'll focus on. One step at a time."A car horn sounded from the street below,not the blare of a taxi, but the subtle, dignified notification of a luxury vehicle."That's our ride," Maya said, standing and offering me her hand. "Ready?"No, I wasn't ready. How could anyone be ready to marry a stranger who had orchestrated their family's downfall as revenge for a fifteen-year-old tragedy? But that wasn't what Maya was asking. She was asking if I was ready to walk down those stairs, exit my childhood home, and face whatever future awaited me with courage.That, at least, I could do."Ready," I confirmed, taking her hand and rising to my feet.We descended the stairs together, my midnight blue dress whispering against the worn carpet runner. Miriam waited at the bottom, her eyes brimming with tears she was clearly trying to contain."You look beautiful, Miss Isabella," she said, her voice wavering slightly."Thank you, Miriam." I embraced
