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*
Change of Plans
Natalie who had been hugging a very large brown teddy-bear with a jar of honey in his hand sat up and then got out of bed with the sun peeking through the curtains. After a solid night's sleep, she was feeling good and refreshed even if Alonso wasn't next to her. She eyed the bear again.
"I can't believe he replaced himself with you,"
Natalie smiled as she remembered Alonso's promise to return to their room after sorting through his emails at the office. The anticipation of having him to herself for the upcoming cruise made her feel like they were finally getting the honeymoon they never had.
"Me and Alonso, Alonso and me~" she sang, swaying to an imaginary rhythm in her mind. It aws with a joyful skip and a few bounces that she celebrated the thought of escaping the drama and enjoying some well-deserved freedom together.
