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 pulled out a chair for his wife ensuring she sat down first and then took the seat at the head of the table opposite his father. He smiled at his sisters and the staff around the table but his mouth formed a straight line when his eyes met the president's.

"I see that everyone is already gathered for the meeting, father. What is it all about?"

"You'll see once the guest of honor arrives, son." He glanced at his wristwatch. "He should be here any minute."

Keeping an expressionless face, Alonso placed his elbows on the table and rubbed his hands together continuously. When he turned around and looked at Natalie, she asked him with her eyes: what's going on? He let her know that he had no idea either with a subtle shrug.

When the doorbell rang, Juan hurried to answer it.

"He's here!" Alonso Senior's demeanor flipped 180 degrees; his eyes sparkled, and he looked pleased with the guest's punctuality.
