MerrySweet

*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?

Mr. Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

"Eloping... Are you serious?" she asked again.

He pulled over by a small jewelry store then gave her his signature warm smile, "You can still change your mind about us until we exchange vows at the court of law tomorrow. Until then, we must be ready."

She searched his face for any traces of humor but found none. Not only did he propose to her, but now, he wanted to get married immediately.

"...Alonso, if you're trying to prove to me that your engagement is fake—"

She stopped when he grabbed her hand and squeezed.

"I just want you to become my wife."

He was such a simple man who always answered her questions directly, but it was still hard to believe some of those answers!

"Well, it would have been better if it was yesterday or today, but we have to finish our preparations first," he gestured toward the store behind him then winked at her.
