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*
Unwanted Children
In the early hours of the morning after a night of sleeping in his arms, Alonso slipped out of bed quietly, leaving Natalie to sleep on. She lingered under the covers until she felt ready to start her day. With a stretch and a yawn, she finally decided it was time to get up.
Sauntering into the dressing room, she grabbed a simple jogging outfit, then put it on and glanced at herself in the mirror. She ran a comb through her hair, trying to tame any stray strands, and finished the simple look with a quick layer of mascara.
"I'm good to go."
She was deciding on a course of action for the day when a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"May I come in?"
"...Sure?"
Natalie was taken aback when Alejandro strode in dressed in a formal suit that seemed out of place for the early summer weather. The heavy bags under his eyes suggested a night of restless sleep or none at all.
"Good morning."
