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

Alonso and Natalie descended the stairs hand in hand heading towards the dining room. Her stomach had been making noises ever since she woke up – a natural aftermath of the previous night's action. The scent of freshly baked bread and fragrant tea made her mouth water, and the clinking of cutlery against porcelain dishes sounded lovely to her ears.

"Big families are the best," Natalie grinned, looking up at Alonso who gazed tenderly down at her.

As they approached the dining room, a portion of the table became visible through the main hall. The variety caught Natalie off guard – different kinds of cheeses she had never seen before, exotic fruits, pastries, and freshly picked flowers decorated the middle of the table. She recognized some familiar faces among the staff from the previous day rushing to finalize breakfast preparations.
