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*
Talents She Preferred He Didn't Have
Natalie was cuddled up near Alonso on their bed, tracing infinity symbols on his chest while he ran his hand through her hair repeatedly.
"You're impossible," she teased while shaking her head.
"Hey, I'm not made of stone, you know? After all that you pulled back there, both of us needed to release the tension somewhere."
"I had no idea there were so many ways," she was genuinely impressed.
"I have a confession to make."
Would he say that he loves me now? She frowned at that idea.
"When I said that what matters to me is to be your last, I did so because I didn't think it's fair for it to matter whether you've been to bed with another man before me or not." He cringed then muttered a prayer of thanks that such a thing did not happen. "...Knowing that I'm your first makes me very happy. That's just the way it is."
A smile formed on her face and he mirrored it as he played with a strand of her hair.
