*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 found herself back in the business suite, and once again, she and her husband were doing the naked cuddle thing under the sheets.
She didn't realize she had this whole insatiable side after going without sex for all of her life. But after getting the taste of this pleasure, she couldn't imagine not getting this level of physical and spiritual satisfaction all the time. It wasn't random either, with billions of men out there, she only had eyes for one. The thought of being in another man's arms didn't seem possible to her.
As she rested her head on his shoulder, their fingertips kept brushing against each other, and it was crazy how it sent shivers down her chest. They couldn't stop grinning at each other – they were in a bubble of pure bliss. Just to think she fell into her father-in-law's trap and almost destroyed their marriage made her blood boil.
"Hey, Alonso, I seriously don't think I know how to be without you anymore."
