Mr. Billionaire's Unwanted Bride
*Based on a true story where love has its dark sides but burns hotter than ever* Abandoned by her mother and orphaned at a young age, Natalie held a deep-seated mistrust for the world especially when it came to men. Her strategy for survival was simple: work hard enough to scrape by each month and rely solely on yourself! Fate had other plans in store for her. Enter Alonso Valois, a charismatic billionaire who swept into her life and showed her just how right a man can be. Despite Natalie's attempts to keep him at arm's length, Alonso who had no intention of letting her slip away shocked her by proposing just two weeks after their first encounter! Was this the "happily ever after" Natalie had dreamt of? Far from it. Walking into the Valois mansion with Alonso's dad calling all the shots felt like walking into a lion's den for Natalie. Little did she know that while she was trying her best to fit in, her in-laws were scrambling to conceal the truth about what happened to the women in the Valois family. As the past comes haunting Alonso and demanding its price, will the unwanted bride be the one who saves the Valois ship from sinking? Or will she be the first one to jump off that sinking ship? *** Updates every Monday! +1 bonus chapter for 300 Power Stones +1 bonus chapter for 50 Golden Tickets +5 bonus chapters whenever the book receives a Magic Castle *Credit of the art goes to the owner*
One Hellish Nightmare - Kevin's POV
Kevin took another deep, painful breath as he smiled mechanically and nodded at the parent of his newest twin students. It was dangerous not to pay attention to the customers who came in and out of his office every day, and he wondered when someone would finally call him on it. For now, he found it was enough to catch the final few words of what the people around him were saying and respond to that.
"...and so, we look forward to the progress that our talented twins are going to make with you!"
Easy enough.
"Of course, we are happy to take raw talents and help them shine as brightly as possible... Jack?"
Kevin's eyes drifted towards the door where the pale face of Natalie's uncle appeared bringing him a painful pang of hope and a simultaneous sense of stupidity. That was certainly not the face of a man with good news to deliver. She was still gone, and there was still absolutely no word from her.
