*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*
Natalie searched tirelessly for Alonso all over the hospital but he was nowhere to be found. And if that wasn't bad enough, he had stopped answering all of her calls.
Where are you, Alonso?
Convinced that she deserved this punishment and determined to earn his forgiveness, she asked Kevin to drive her to the Holding, thinking someone as committed and busy as her husband would probably turn up at work sooner or later today.
Kevin sighed, "Are you sure you want me to leave you here?"
She gave a nod and unhooked the seatbelt, "Bella has been calling you endlessly. You have some matters to sort out with her, don't you?"
That was Natalie's subtle attempt to get him to distance himself from that troublemaker. But would Kevin actually go through with it?
"Alonso Valois shouldn't treat you like that," Kevin grumbled.
