Chapter 151
The Imposter Bride
She had just finished saying this when Magnus caught up to Natalia from behind and grabbed her arm, saying, âDarling, why are you running?â
Caught off guard, Nataliaâs eyes darted around. After a momentâs thought, she looked at Magnus, âI think it might be best if we took some time apart.â
âWhy?â Magnusâ dark eyes bore into her, as if trying to penetrate her very soul. âDid I do something wrong? Why do you need to take some time to think? Letâs go back and talk it out.â He said, pulling her towards the parking lot.
Natalia forcefully shook off his handâ said we need a break. Magnus. Iâm going to stay with Lexi for a while Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. Her heart ached. Why did he have to insist on being with her when he already had Isabella?
Magnus fiery temper simmered down at Nataliaâs vulnerable state But he couldnât let her walk away If there was a misunderstanding, he would clear it up. He was always at a loss when it came to his dear wife She could do whatever she wanted, as long as she didnât leave âHoney Magnus took Nataliaâs hand, looking earnestly into her eyes. âCan we not fight? Come home with me, okay? Iâve missed you so much these past few days His last words were barely a whisper audible only to Natalia.
Nataliaâs mind went blank. She looked into his gentle gaze and pleading expression, her resolve crumbling. But the thought of what heâd done with Isabella brought fresh tears to her eyes Magnus gently wiped her tears away âLetâs go home, sweetheart.â
She hesitated, biting her lip, and weakly uttered. I want to stay with Lexi for a couple of days Iâll come back after that.â
Seeing her teary eyes, Magnus felt a pang in his heart âWhat for? You have your own home,â he asked, somewhat confused. âHoney, is there some misunderstanding? Letâs go home and talk it outâ He held on to her hand âNatalia couldnât find the words. She twisted her fingers nervously, keeping her head down in silence.
Noticing Nataliaâs struggle and the hurt in her eyes, Magnus couldnât help but say in a tender voice, âHoney, come home with me. I wonât have my wife staying somewhere else Natalia remained silent with her head lowered, feeling a slight sting in her nose. He kept calling her his wife, but did he truly treat her as one?
When he was cozying up with isabella, did he ever think about the fact that she was his wife?!
What was she even hoping for? Perhaps she was just falling deeper into his trap and tenderness. By the time she realized it, her heart would already be in pieces With that thought, Natalia mustered the courage to look up and declared, âI am going to stay with Lex.
Iâm not coming home with you.â
Magnus knew Natalia was being stubborn, but he hadnât expected her to be this obstinate. She was as stubborn as a mule Without another word, he grabbed Nataliaâs arm and led her towards the parking lot. âNo way, youâre coming back to the Andersenâs with me today. No other options Lexi got angry and stepped in front of Magnus, Mr. Andersen, Natalia said she doesnât want to go with you. You have really gone too far this time. What gives you the right?â
is that so?â Magnus lazily looked at Lexi, his tone filled with a strong sense of threat. âSheâs my wife.
Iâm simply asking her to come home is that not allowed?â
Lex hung her head in silence under Magnus intense gaze.
Once again, Magnus took Nataliaâs hand and led her towards the parking lot. Natalia couldnât keep up with his pace and found herself running behind hum Upon reaching the car, he opened the door and pushed Natalia in, then placed the luggage in the trunk He then got into the driverâs seat and started the car. His face was filled with anger as he floored the accelerator Natalia watched as the car sped down the highway, realizing that Magnus was angry. She tightly gripped the seat belt with both hands, too scared to even open her eyes They finally arrived at Maplewood Manor Magnus parked the car opened the door and pulled Natalia towards the mansion.
Linden immediately greeted them. âMs Natalia, welcome backâ
âBring in the luggage Magnus ordered Linden in a low voice He then led Natalia upstairs and into their bedroom, closing the door behind them with a loud bang He angrily untied his tie and started unbuttoning his shirt revealing his tanned pin âAlright, sweetheart, letâs hear it Now, you can voice your discontent and the source of your anger He stood in front of Natalia, staring down at her Natalia didnât say anything and sat directly on the edge of the bed. The two remained in a tense silence for several minutes. Natalia stayed silent, looking out at the setting sun ignoring Magnus presence Having run out of patience, Magnus walked over and sat next to her, wrapping his arms around her âSweetheart, whatâs going on? Why did you go to France without telling me, and why are you ignoring me What is 7 He forced her to look at him Nataliaâs gaze was icy, as if she was looking at a stranger Magnus, we should break up.â The words tumbled out of her mouth unexpectedly Magnus froze Break up? She wanted to break up with hum?
âWhy?â He stood up and paced in frustration Donât even think about it! Brea No way You think you can just leave me and be with someone else?
He walked over to her and lifted her chin to meet her watery eyes, and stubborn look. He wished he could tear her apart and swallow her whole to stop her from having these absurd thoughts You want to break up? Only over my dead body With that, he bent down and captured her lips in a fierce kiss, biting down hard.
Natalia gasped in pain. He took advantage of her surprise to invade her mouth entwining his tongue with hers in a punishing kiss. He kissed her fiercely. his kiss carrying a sense of punishment.
Nataliaâs lips were numb from his kiss. She tried to push him away, but he wouldnât budge. The image of him kissing Isabella flashed in her mind, making her feel sick. She struggled with all her might, but his frustration only grew with her resistance. He leaned into her, and they both fell onto the large bed.
Magnus kissed Natalia unabashedly, his hand slipping beneath her dress, wandering over her silky skin.
Despite her desperate efforts to resist, Natalia was unsuccessful Eventually, she stopped struggling, lying there like a lifeless doll, allowing him to take what he wanted and ravage her Magnus tore at her clothes like crazy, the only thing on his mind was that he must conquer her and make her obey and stop resisting
