The CEO's Ten Million Dollar Wife
The CEO's Ten Million Dollar Wife
One night of boldness leads to a marriage of convenience. Just a plain agreement. No commitment but a lot of sex. She is liking the setup until the 'right one' came back. Without a fuss, she left, bringing the memories and another heartbeat. ********** Dumped by her two-year relationship for the reason of her being prude and frigid, Alexzia Montes proves she was otherwise. With four glasses of wine in her system, she delved into a passionate night with a stranger she randomly picked. "Do I need to pay you? How much?" she outrightly asked. "Can you afford me?" he snickers. "Just tell me how much" she stubbornly retorted. She is getting pissed by his arrogance. "500 billion dollars" he briefly replies with raised challenging brows. "What?" she mumbles in disbelief. "My present net worth is more or less 500 billion dollars" he unconcernedly replied. Stunned, she becomes quiet. "That's why you look familiar..." she frustratedly whispers, facepalming herself. The man she often sees on tv and in newspapers but hasn't met in person. The only person in the country who has a five hundred billion net worth. "CEO Lucien Wright..." she whispers in despair, almost indistinct. Of all people, she had chosen the cold and ruthless CEO of Wright Group of Companies. How could she afford him? He could even buy her, body and soul. "I need a wife, a bait for my girlfriend to come back. Name your price" he casually announced, handing her the documents. "Once she is back, you will sign the divorce paper and peacefully leave. I will pay you, just name the amount" he added. The offer is tempting Alexzia. She needs ten million dollars and it's an impossible plight but she has an easy way out, being a Ten Million Dollar Wife to CEO Wright.

You don’t need to worry.” My heart was heavy in my chest, but also a wave of fury and resentment crossed me.“Lila?” Scott breathed, staring at me in shock “What are you—” Before he could get the entire question out, I turned to the gentleman beside me, placing my hands on his shoulders and pulling him toward me.

Where Can I Read Reliquary Online For Free?

4 Answers2025-12-22 12:07:28

Man, I totally get the hunt for free reads—budgets can be tight! 'Reliquary' by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child is a gem, but tracking it down legally for free is tricky. Your best bets are library apps like Libby or Hoopla; just plug in your library card, and you might score a digital copy. Some libraries even partner with OverDrive for free loans.

If you’re into audiobooks, sometimes platforms like Audible offer free trials where you could snag it. Avoid sketchy sites claiming ‘free PDFs’—they’re usually piracy hubs, and supporting authors matters. Fun fact: the sequel, 'The Cabinet of Curiosities,' is just as gripping if you end up loving this one!

Are There Any Major Twists In Reliquary?

Reliquary' by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child is packed with twists that keep you glued to the pages! One of the biggest shockers comes when we realize the underground 'Mole People' aren't just homeless individuals—they're mutated by a bizarre biological experiment gone wrong. The reveal that the wealthy elite are secretly funding this horror show adds a layer of social commentary that hits hard.

Then there's the gut-punch moment when Agent Pendergast's ally turns out to be compromised. The betrayal stings, especially after so much trust was built. The way the authors weave scientific plausibility into the chaos makes it all the more unsettling. I love how the book takes what could be a straightforward thriller and cranks up the weirdness to eleven.

What Is The Plot Summary Of Reliquary?

5 Answers2025-12-05 04:14:16

Reliquary' is this wild ride of a sequel to 'Relic,' diving deeper into the eerie underground world beneath New York City. The story kicks off with a bunch of grotesque murders linked to a mysterious underground community called the 'Mole People.' FBI agent Pendergast teams up with journalist Margo Green again to uncover the truth, leading them into a labyrinth of tunnels filled with mutated creatures and ancient secrets.

What really hooked me was how the book blends horror, science, and detective work—it’s like 'The X-Files' meets urban exploration. The tension builds as they realize the mutations aren’t just natural anomalies but tied to a sinister experiment. The climax in those pitch-black tunnels had me gripping the pages, and the way it questions humanity’s hubris stuck with me long after.

Is Reliquary A Sequel Or Standalone Novel?

5 Answers2025-12-05 14:48:17

Reliquary' by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child is technically a sequel to their debut novel 'Relic,' but honestly, it stands on its own pretty well! The first book introduces the terrifying creature in the museum, while 'Reliquary' dives deeper into the underground world of New York, exploring the consequences left behind. I loved how it expanded the lore without feeling like a rehash—new characters, fresh tension, and that signature blend of sci-fi and horror. If you skipped 'Relic,' you might miss some context, but the pacing and mystery in 'Reliquary' are gripping enough to pull you in regardless.

That said, I’d still recommend reading 'Relic' first—it’s like savoring a layered dessert. You get the full flavor of the world-building, and the callback moments hit harder. But if you’re the type who jumps into series mid-way, you won’t feel completely lost. The authors do a solid job balancing continuity with standalone appeal.

How Does Reliquary Compare To Its Prequel?

5 Answers2025-12-05 04:05:52

Reliquary takes everything that made its prequel gripping and cranks it up to eleven. The world-building feels more lived-in, with side characters getting deeper backstories that weave into the main plot seamlessly. I adored how the moral gray areas expanded—protagonists make messier choices, and villains have moments that almost make you root for them. The pacing’s tighter too; no more lulls between action sequences.

That said, the prequel’s simplicity had its charm. Reliquary’s layered plot might overwhelm newcomers, but for fans who craved complexity, it’s a feast. The lore drops about the artifact’s origins had me pausing just to theorize with friends online. And that ending? Let’s just say I’m already begging for a sequel.

Does Reliquary Have A PDF Version Available?

5 Answers2025-12-05 07:52:16

it doesn't seem like there's an official PDF release yet. Some niche ebook platforms might have fan-scanned copies floating around, but quality varies wildly.

If you're like me and prefer legal reads, keeping an eye on the author's social media or emailing the publisher could help. Sometimes they surprise fans with digital drops! Until then, my dog-eared paperback is holding up... barely.
