Chapter 134
The Imposter Bride
âNatalia,â Kendra began, her gaze unyielding. âI thought you should know. I saw Magnus with another woman. I know he doesnât care about me, but arenât you his wife? I just didnât want you to end up like me, and get kicked out of Maplewood Mansion.â
Nataliaâs eyes were cold. âOur relationship is none of your business, Kendra Who knows what schemes youâre cooking up?â
âFine, but if you want the truth, check out Oakwood Condos tomorrow at this time. Maybe youâll run into your CEO husband, Kendra retorted, and with that, she stormed off.
The previous day, she had met with Isabella, who had promised to meet with Magnus and win him back. She had asked Kendra to record the meeting and show it to Natalia, hoping to make Magnus think Kendra was spiteful and to sow distrust between him and Natalia Isabella planned to take advantage of the ensuing chaos.
However, Kendra chose to tell Natalia directly, eager to see the look on her face when she discovered Magnus with another woman. Nothing would make her happier than seeing Natalia in pain After Kendra left, Natalia felt confused What was going on?
Reason told her not to believe Kendra, because who knows what tricks sheâs up to Though it was so, Natalia also wanted to figure out what was going on with Magnus these days.
He seemed rather distant these days. Could it be that he really had another woman outside? The thought pained her heart.
If he didnât want her anymore, it might be the end of her world, because she had given her whole heart to him. She loved him as her own life!
The next day, she went to the place Kendra had mentioned. After waiting for a while and not seeing anyone, she was about to leave when she saw Magnus car pulling in She hid behind a telephone pole and watched as Magnus got out of the car and opened the passenger door for a woman.
Natalia recognized the woman from a portrait in Magnusâ study. It was Isabella Seeing Isabella embrace Magnus, Natalia felt her heart sinking to the bottom of her chest. Her world was crumbling around her. Her beloved Magnus was in the arms of another woman, and he was not pushing her away. Overwhelmed with pain, Natalia turned away, but the image was burned into her mind Tears streamed down her face. She realized that the woman with Magnus was the woman from his past, the one he still loved.
Meanwhile, Magnus felt a sense of closure. He felt he had finally repaid his debt to Isabella, who had been by his side for half a year Staring at the sunset on the horizon, he couldnât help but feel the urge to rush home to see Natalia immediately. He felt that he had been neglecting her a bit lately.
But when he came back home, she was nowhere to be found.
âWhereâs my wife?â he asked his housekeeper, May âShe left early in the morning and hasnât come back yet.â
Magnus immediately drove to the driving school, but they said she hadnât shown up. He then drove to her friend Lexiâs house He barged in without asking and demanded, âWhereâs Nat?â
Lexi pointed to the bedroom. Natalia was curled up on the bed, her eyes swollen from crying.
Magnus approached her, âNat, whatâs wrong?â
Before Natalia could answer, Lexi pulled Magnus out of the room.
âNatalia isnât here for you to bully Sheâs had enough of your nonsense. What did you do to upset her? If you donât love her, why did you marry her? If you canât make her happy, let her go You might be powerful, but if you mess up with Nat, I will not let you off Lexi shouted, shaking with fear and anger Magnus was confused What was going on?
âGet out! Youâre not welcome in my home!â she said, dragging Magnus out the door.
Magnus was stunned. As a formidable CEO, he wasnât just kicked out by this little girl, but he also didnât understand why.
As he was about to knock on the door again, he saw Kendra approaching âWhat are you doing here?â
Magnus asked, his anger flaring.
âWhy canât I be here? How does it feel to be ignored by your wife? Haha. Kendra gloated, taking pleasure in his misfortune.
Magnus sensed something off, his hand swiftly gripping her throat and pinning her against the wall.
âSpeak! What did you do to her? Did this woman cause trouble again? Had she upset his wife?
Kendra tried to pry away his hand, which was as firm as a steel clamp on her neck. Her eyes reddened from desperation, âMagnus, this is a residential building. I warn you hot to mess around One shout and someone will come to my rescue.â
âHelpâ Kendra, about to yell for help, was suddenly thrown to the floor by Magnus âSay it, what did you do? You know I can end youâ Magnus spoke with a grim look.
âCough, cough âKendra warily climbed to her feet.
Seeing the man in front of her, who resembled the Grim Reaper himself, she fell fear creeping in again.
71. 1. Iâll say it, 13-4 It wasnât me. Natalia was heartbroken seeing you and Isabella so close,â she confessed
