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*
Comforted by a Sister-in-Law
Alonso parked the car sideways in front of the mansion's door, slammed the driver's door shut, and walked away without saying a word to Natalie. He climbed up the stairs and disappeared into the mansion leaving the door ajar as if expecting her to obediently follow like a good little wife.
Does he know me at all? Her lips quivered. Did I trust him too quickly?
Worn out from their argument and dreading the follow up discussion, she reluctantly stepped out of the car. Her heels sank into the pebbled ground as she wandered aimlessly in the garden. After a while, even walking lost its appeal so she came to a stop and looked up at the starry sky.
Dad…I miss you so much.
Natalie let the tears flow. She figured marrying Alonso would be the ticket to the end of her sorrows, but with the south turn that their relationship took tonight, this new chapter in her life might be a whole new level of loneliness.
