Chapter 165
The Imposter Bride
He was hit with a reality check, like a bucket of ice water was poured from his head to his toes. He sat up in bed, staring at the picture on his phone. His anger slowly ignited, burning his rationality to ashes âSo you donât want me, just because of him!â His voice was as cold as frost.
Natalia, who was lying with her back to him, was roughly turned around to face him as he shoved his phone towards her. When Natalia saw the picture on the phone, her mind felt like it had exploded. He had someone follow her and take photos of her. There was nothing between her and Callum, but the photo implied otherwise âItâs nothing between us. I only ran into him on my way back, she stated flatly.
âNothing? I saw how your eyes lit up when you saw him, and yet youâre always so cold towards me.
Natalia, have I spoiled you too much? Iâve allowed you to push my boundaries time and time again!â
Magnus suddenly stood up, looking down at Natalia on the bed.
It was the first time he had called her by her name, and his eyes were so cold it sent chills down her spine.
I didnât he said he found my mother, Magnus. If you donât trust me, then my explanations are useless.
But nothing happened with Mr. Callum.â She looked at him, and her eyes were filled with sorrow Perhaps this was a misunderstanding that would forever remain between them.
Trust youâ Darling, have you ever trusted me? When I danced with Isabella that night, she got her damn lipstick on me, and since then youâve been cold to me for months. I accepted it Have you ever trusted me? And now youâre asking me to trust you! Iâve said you will stay here forever. As for that Englishman, Iâll make him pay for trying to steal another manâs wife! Move to Sapphire Island tomorrow.
You donât need to continue your studies!â
Magnus got up and stormed out of the bedroom, slamming the door behind him. Natalia sat on the bed.
Tears were streaming down her pale face.
Magnus descended the staircase, heading for his car, but his heart felt like it was being scorched. He wanted to destroy everything. That damn Englishman was so bold!
He picked up the phone. âInvestigate Callumâs every move in Melfort tomorrow!
He sat on the couch, lighting a cigarette, and pulled out his phone to look at the photo again. Isabella had sent the photo. That woman was audacious and was pushing his boundaries time and time again.
He then blocked Isabellaâs number Late into the night, Magnus sat on the couch in the living room, smoking an entire pack of cigarettes.
In her sleep, Natalia felt a dryness in her mouth. She went downstairs to get some water and saw the glow of a phone and the heavy smell of smoke. She knew it was Magnus Hadnt he left?
She descended the staircase, and in the moonlight, she saw Magnus sitting on the couch, enveloped in a cloud of smoke, and leaning against the couch tiredly.
Natalia felt a pang in her heart Tears fell in an instant, and she went over to him. âMagnus, why arenât you sleeping? Youâll get sick if you smoke so muchâ âDo you care about me? Can you still care about me? Donât you want to break up? To leave with that Englishman?â His voice was hoarse Natalia wiped her tears, and a mocking smile appeared on her face. âI only met Callum once, and he said he found my mother I wonât go off with him Donât worry. As long as you say I canât leave, I wonât I owe you too muchâ She slowly stood up to get her water.
He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him. She fell onto his lap, and just as she tried to resist, he tightened his hold around her. His warm lips, tasting of strong tobacco, covered hers He kissed her fiercely, giving her no chance to resist. He didnât bother to explain anything. He pried open her teeth, entangling her tongue and savoring her sweetness His hand wandered under her sleepwear, grabbing her soft tits. His heavy breathing blew against her ear, sending shivers down her spine Natalia closed her eyes, no longer pushing him away His passionate kisses already consumed all her breath.
Magnus pressed her onto the couch, kissing every inch of her body Then he thrusted into her deeplyâ¦
In the silent night, the couch was pushed to the center of the living room due to Magnus vigorous movements. Magnus finished once. He carried Natalia, who had no strength left in her and went upstairs. He cleaned her up, and then took her again.
After cleaning her up again, Natalia was so tired that she was about to fall asleep. He carried her to the bed and started another round, tirelessly taking her He wanted to leave his mark on every inch of her skin.
When the sky started to lighten, Magnus finally stopped. He watched Natalia lying beneath him, and she seemed so exhausted, worn out from his roughness He reluctantly let her go.
He held her soft body close, inhaling her sweet scent as he fell asleep The next day. Natalia woke up with her whole body aching and a deep pain in her lower abdomen The room was devoid of Magnus She slowly got up, and began preparing to go to school, but she could barely lift her hand She slowly made her way to the bathroom to wash up Suddenly, a wave of nausea hit her, causing her to retch a few times. She rinsed her mouth with A cold water and forced herself to go downstairs to eat The servant brought the food to the table âMaâam, Mr. Magnus ordered this soup for you Itâs good for your body Please have some Natalia nodded, but after taking one sip, a fishy taste filled her mouth She ran to the bathroom to throw up What kind of soup was this? it was so disgusting!
May watched as Natalia vomited violently. âMaâam, this is your usual soup Why are you throwing up?â
âI donât know, it just smelled so fishy Make me some oatmeal and save the soup for dinnerâ Natalia clutched her stomach as she sat at the dining table feeling a dull ache Not long after, the pain became unbearable. Sweat dripped down her forehead. May brought a bowl of oatmeal over and was shocked to see Nataliaâs pale face.
âAre you feeling unwell?â
âMy stomach hurtsâ¦â Before she could finish, her vision darkened, and she slumped onto the table.
âMaâam Call Mr. Magnus quickly.â
Upon receiving the call. Magnus rushed back home. Linden was already carrying Natalia towards the car, but Magnus intercepted them halfway. âWhat happened to her? How did you take care of her?â
Magnus yelled.
âShe was throwing up everything she ate, then she fainted! The servant was on the verge of tears.
At the hospital.
Natalia was rushed into the emergency room, with Magnus pacing anxiously in the corridor. Half an hour later, a cheerful doctor emerged. âMr. Andersen, your wife is two months pregnant.
Congratulations, youâre going to be a fatherâ
Hearing the doctorâs words, Magnus mind exploded like a muffled thunderclap, leaving him dazed.
âSheâs pregnant! Sheâs really pregnant Sheâs carrying their baby!â
Seeing Magnus stunned expression, the doctor knew this man was just like all the others, shocked at the prospect of becoming a father for the first time The doctor chuckled âMr. Andersen, your wife is weak. She needs to avoid overworking herself. It would be best for her not to engage in strenuous activities, including intercourse, during the first three months of her pregnancy
