Chapter 32
The Imposter Bride
Nataliaâs mouth fell open in shock as he casually grabbed another bathrobe and fished her out of the water, stripping her of her underwear.
âAh! Magnus. I can do it myself!â Being entirely exposed like this made her want to hide in embarrassment. However, the manâs iceâcold handsome face remained expressionless as he wrapped her in a bathrobe and smoothly wheeled her to the side of the bed in the bedroom. He tossed her onto the bed in one swift motion. Natalia landed in the soft sheets, trying to grab the covers to hide herself, but her vision went dark as the man deftly jumped onto the bed.
His entire body covered hers, the bathrobes providing little barrier between their skin. Natalia could feel his hardâon pressing against her through the thin fabric.
She stared at him in panic. The memories of that night flooded back. If it was him who forced himself on her, she would hate him. If it wasnât him, then she had lost her virginity to another man. Didnât that disgust him?
âMagnus, calm down. We talked about this. Iâm not Kendra, and I wonât do things like this with you.â Her hands pressed against his hot chest, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.
âShut up.â The man growled, his face clouded with displeasure.
âIf you donât want to die, behave. Tonight, Iâll make you my wife. This way, you and the Clarkson family might have a chance of survival. You know how much you angered grandpa by replacing Kendra. Even if I spare you, he wonât.â
The man looked at the girlâs terrified eyes, the innocence reflected in the dim light making him soften.
He raised his hand, his rough fingers gently caressing her cheek. Her lips were tightly pressed together, swollen from his earlier kisses in the bathroom She was too delicate That night, he had taken her so roughly she had passed out several times. Because he was so angry then, he hadnât been gentle. But tonight, he planned to be gentler He leaned in to gently kiss her lips, a shallow touch. His lower body pressed dangerously against her.
The girlâs mind went blank, and she was still processing what heâd just said when she felt a wave of pleasure run through her body âNo⦠Magnus, listen to me uhmâ She wanted to tell him that she was no longer a virgin. The man on his island had taken that from her. But the man didnât give her a chance, silencing her protests with a passionate kiss that quickly escalated.
Both were naked. In no time, Magnus lost control Under his fervent kisses, the girlâs body gradually softened. Every time she tried to speak, he silenced her His large hand instinctively parted her legs.
When he finally claimed her, a flash of white light filled the girlâs mind. She felt as if she was floating in the air, riding on clouds with his every movement.
Magnus hadnât touched a woman in years, and that one time had been out of anger plus revenge, and he hadnât felt any pleasure, just his bodyâs instincts.
But this time, he truly felt the sweetness that gnawed at his bones. This girl was like a warm clear stream, flowing beneath him. He lovingly cupped her face, which was as beautiful as a peach blossom.
She let out sounds like a kittenâs purr. Even she herself didnât realize how beautiful she sounded.
He leaned in to kiss her lips, losing himself in her. Half an hour later, he called out to her affectionately, âMy ladyâ¦â
The sound from the bedroom lasted so long that the maid outside the door blushed upon hearing it.
She quickly ran to the second floor to report again. âSir, Mr. Magnus and Ms. Natalia seem to be very much in love.â
Morganâs face was as cold as ice. This girl sure knew how to play her cards. She had managed to make his precious grandson fall for her so quickly. It seemed she wasnât as innocent as she appeared.
After all, she was Kylerâs illegitimate child.
He waved his hand dismissively, deciding to deal with the matter after the birthday banquet.
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit bar in Melfort, Lucius sat in a booth, furiously smoking. Soon, the door to the booth was pushed open. Kendra, dressed in a sexy tight dress, appeared before him. âLucius, why did you call me here in such a hurry?â
The girl had large, wavy hair and fiery red lips. She walked over and sat next to Lucius. The man grabbed her arm and pulled her onto his lap. He looked at Kendra and for a moment, he thought of the girl at Villa Montecresto.
Suddenly, he found that the small, soft girl was more appealing than Kendra. No wonder Magnus wasnât angry about not marrying Kendra.
âKendra, thereâs trouble. Magnus has discovered that you replaced yourself with your sister at the wedding. Grandpa probably knows too,â Lucius said as he held her shoulder.
Kendraâs face paled. âWhat do we do? Lucius, will your grandpa blame my family?â She clung to Lucius arm. âThat useless thing Natalia, how could she be found out so quickly. She really is a cheap womanâs daughter. If this incident implicates the Clarkson family, I will never forgive her Kendra glared out the window.
Lucius looked troubled. âNow itâs not a matter of forgiving or not forgiving her. The main problem now is that grandpa knows. He might send your sister back to the Clarkson family. And then he might marry you off to Magnus Kendraâs gazes tightened in panic. She looked at Lucius anxiously. âLucius, no, I canât marry Magnus.
Iâm your woman, Lucius. You have to save me. You have to save the Clarkson family.â
Lucius stared at the alluring beauty in his arms, then turned to look out into the pitchâdark night. A smug smile crept across his lips. âThereâs only one way to prevent grandpa from marrying you to Magnus.â
âWhatâs the solution? Lucius, tell me what to do, and Iâll do it. I absolutely wonât marry that cripple. I love you.â After saying that, she kissed Lucius on the lips.
With a beauty in his arms offering herself willingly, Lucius couldnât resist. He closed his eyes and returned her kiss, pinning Kendra under him on the couch. In no time, the booth was filled with the sounds of a manâs growls and a womanâs moans.
Lucius, panting and holding the exhausted Kendra, said. âKendra, you need to go back and convince your father to call a board meeting with his shareholders, force Grandpa to hand over the CEOâs chair to me soon. Only then can we preserve the Clarkson familyâs honor. We can get married right away.
You wonât have to marry Magnus.â
The manâs dark eyes reflected a ruthless light in the dimly lit room. If Morgan was determined not to give way, he wouldnât think twice about ruining the relationship with his grandfather. He would force him to step down from the CEOâs position.
With Luciusâ words, a wry smile appeared on Kendraâs face. For her happiness and the glory of the Clarkson family, she would persuade her father. But she was worried, âLucius, once you become the CEO, will you still marry me?â
âOf course I will marry you, Kendra. Who else would I marry in this lifetime?â He kissed the corner of her mouth, âWhen Iâm the CEO, letâs see who can go against me?â A devilish smile appeared on Luciusâ face. At that time, he could marry whoever he wanted.
âBut Lucius, Iâve already registered the marriage with Magnus. What should we do?â Kendra frowned in distress.
âWhat does it matter?â Lucius scoffed. âIâll make him process the divorce as soon as possible. You two havenât even met face to face. How could you possibly get married?â
