*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's gown was a simple design of ivory lace and satin, its V-neckline flattered her large berasts, and the empire waist that cinched just below her bust highlighted the slimmest part of her silhouette and removed some of the attention over her hips that were on the wider side, while the asymmetrical hemline that was shorter in the front and longer in the back was just the right amount of formality for a courthouse wedding.
She descended the staircase of her apartment building taking careful steps in her 12cm heels, thankful that her groom was tall enough to allow her to wear them comfortably. All thoughts of shoes were gone when he came into her view.
Alonso Valois was the epitome of handsome.
His grey hair was always the first thing to catch her eye whenever she saw him, and he was smartly dressed in a black suit with a black tie and white shirt. He held his coat folded over his arm appearing as if he were daydreaming while gazing up at the sky.
