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*
Lovesick
Natalie sat on the mattress in the middle of the winter garden while Alonso laid his head on her lap. It was almost as if he were a massive cat or a docile panther, closing his eyes and listening to her songs while she occasionally played with his ear or ran her fingers through his soft hair. If it were anyone else other than the two of them, they might have been more concerned with how perfect the stars looked through the glass on such a lovely spring night. However, the two of them were too absorbed in each other to notice anything else.
"Natalie," he said when she finally placed the microphone on the ground next to them.
"Hm?"
"No offense to caramel popcorn, but this is in no way what you should be eating right now."
She laughed, "It's fine to skip dinner every now and then. It wasn't even a meal for me before I married you."
"…I see," he sounded a bit dejected.
