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*
Quality Time Together
"Ugh," Natalie groaned, remembering how much she fought with her uncle about her choice of school as she shared the story with her husband. "Those were dark times, I'm telling you. He gave me so much headache about it that I had to start attending classes behind his back. When he finally caught me, I had just returned from one of my theatre classes and tried to reverse my role by convincing him that I am studying to become a civil engineer."
Alonso's eyes and hands were occupied with the food, but the way his lips twisted up let her know that he was attentive to what she was telling him.
"Did it work?" he asked.
She took a gulp of her water then placed it on the right side of her plate with a laugh, "Nope! That day, I decided to focus more on music and less on acting since I had no talent for it."
Alonso grinned and nodded, "Looks like I owe Jack one."
She frowned, "Why?"
