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

Jack Harrison arrived at the mansion right after breakfast. He gave Natalie a quick hug, then specifically asked to speak with Alonso privately.

As Natalie's eyes moved up to the clock on the wall, time seemed to crawl like a turtle. The tight knots in her stomach tightened further, and her mind wandered in every direction conjuring up scenarios of what her uncle might be discussing with Alonso.

Her thighs began to nag at her for pacing around her room too fast and non-stop. None of what was happening beneath this roof made sense anyhow, and it continued to make less sense now that her uncle was a part of it.

Unable to contain her nerves any longer, she took a deep breath and decided to go where the two men who excluded her were. If they won't ask her to be a part of the ongoing conversation, then she could just invite herself and be a part of it, can't she?
