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*
An Unbelievable Turn of Events
Alonso's presence in Natalie's room felt closer to a dream than to reality. She tightened her quilt around her and watched her uncle half-dragging Kevin out of her room then heard the door clicking closed behind them.
"I have so much to say, but I would like to hear from you first," he said in a much softer tone than the one he entered the room with.
Speechless, she looked up at Alonso in his flawless gray suit beneath his brown overcoat. He looked so good; it was like rubbing salt on her injury—a physical reminder of how this shiny meteor neither belonged to her world nor belonged to her. The more he needlessly shone around her, the darker and more depressing the reality of her surroundings became.
But why was he looking at her so tenderly?
"…Why are you here?"
"Because it is where you are. The last three days felt like three centuries to me."
