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*
Officially Over
Just minutes away from the workshop after dropping Annabella off with the nanny at her house, Natalie was struck by a splitting headache. She suppressed a groan and pressed her thumb and index fingers against her closed eyes then rubbed them in an attempt to get rid of the pain without drawing attention to herself.
"What's wrong, Natalie? Another headache?"
It was impossible to hide her pain from someone as perceptive as her husband; his eyes are always on me. She was trying to force a smile, but her lips downturned at the corners, "...Learning about your life partner's betrayal is definitely headache material, don't you think?"
He clicked his tongue and glanced away muttering something under his breath. Though he looked her way again, he avoided direct eye contact.
"Just look at you, hands shaking, knees trembling. But do I even have the right to be upset over this?" He sighed. "Should you really see him when you're this angry?"
