Chapter 64
The Imposter Bride
*Seems like you, Mr. Clarkson, are totally unaware that two days ago, Kendra had my wife kidnapped and whisked off to England. In the process, she was intercepted by the police and my wife was pushed into the ocean! Are you telling me that you, as her father, had no idea about any of this??
âWhat? Natalia fell into the sea? Is she alright? Kyler shot up from his seat His hands started to shake Natalia couldnât be in any danger!
âIf she were, I wouldâve done more than just invite you here today! Magnus lifted his head, his icy gaze laced with a wild, hostile air âI could send Kendra to jail today with the evidence I have, and let her rot in there for a decade or more But, I am considering the respect I have for you. Mr. Clarkson. Thatâs why I have asked you to handle this matter I hope you can offer me a satisfactory response. And one more thing, I want to put an end to this absurd marriage with Kendral I hope you will expedite the divorce proceedings between Kendra and me! Should you continue to delay, I canât guarantee whether I will become a widower or get a divorce first His steely gaze bore into Kyler, and the unfathomable coldness in his eyes made Kyler shiver to the core Rest assured, Mr. Andersen, I will discipline Kendra this time. Thank you for your mercy I will provide you with an answerâ Kyler rose to leave âMr Clarkson Magnus called after him.
He stopped at the door and turned to face Magnus âNatalia is my woman, and I wonât allow anyone to bully her!â Magnus gaze was surging with a hidden storm.
Kyler nodded and quickly exited, his heart pounding in his chest. He could feel the murderous intent radiating off Magnus.
At the Clarksons mansion, Kyler stormed in, with the servants lowering their heads in deference. âSir.â
âCall Kendra down here!â His voice was laced with an indescribable rage.
âYes sir! The servant could sense the brewing storm within the house.
Upon hearing her father wanted to see her, Kendra nervously descended the staircase. Father!â She walked over to the couch, looking at the furious Kyler a sense of fear creeping over her âSlapââ Kyler stood up and landed a heavy slap on her face before she could react. Her perfect skin instantly bore the mark of his palm. Kendra looked at Kyler in disbelief She had never seen her father hit her before.
âFatherâ Why did you hit me?â She cried out loudly The commotion brought Addison out of her room. âWhatâs going on?â
âWhatâs going on? Ask her what sheâs done! She dared to kidnap Natalia and even threw her into the seal is this the daughter you raised? She even tried to harm her own sisterâ Kyler pointed at Kendra, his hand trembling Addison widened her eyes at Kyler âWhat nonsense are you spouting? Kendra wouldnât even hurt a fly, how could she possibly kidnap Natalia!â
Kyler glared at Addison Ask her yourself. If it werenât for my intervention today Magnus would have already sent her to jailâ.
Addison turned to Kendra âKendra, is this true? Did you really do this?â She couldnât believe her precious daughter could do such a thing. It must have been that wretched Natalia who framed her!
âYes! It was me, I wanted her dead Kendra covered her face, glaring at Kyler fiercely âShe took my marriage. She refuses to let go of Magnus. I am his wife, and I am the lady of the Andersen family, not her She even made Magnus hit me Kendras eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Kyler feeling furious, raised his hand to slap Kendra again. âYou still want Natalia dead? She married Magnus because of you! How dare you be so ungrateful! How could I have a daughter like you!â
Addison immediately stepped in âKyler you canât hit Kendra Natalia didnât she survive?
Kyler looked at the mother and daughter huddled together, and his teeth gritted in anger You brought this upon us! Clean up this mess. If Natalia were to die, do you think we could still stand here? We might all end up buried with her?
Kyler pointed at Kendra âGet your documents ready and sort out the divorce Or else be prepared to go to jail.â
âNo father will not divorce Even if i cant have Magnus, I am still the wife of the CEO and my position is unchangeable! | wonât let Natalia have her way! Not unless Iâm dead! She ran upstairs crying Kyler glared at Addison. This is your doing! You deal with itâ He stormed out of the mansion Late into the night, in a dimly in bar, Lucius sat in a booth with a woman in his arms, as the drone glass after another âMr Lucius, youâre drunk. Do you want me to stay with you tonight? The womanâs blood red nails traced the cheat hair of the man, slowly moving downwards. Lucius looked at the woman in his arms. her luscious lips, recalling how Kendra, in her quest to get Magnus, had Nataka kidnapped)
What a brainless woman. He had loved her for so many years. Was he a fool?
A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips Want me to stay? How would you keep âStop it, you know very well The woman flirtatiously kissed his chan Lucius finished his drink in one gulp, threw the glass away and leaned down and kissed the womanâs chest. The booth was soon filed with the sounds of a mans low growl and a womanâs soft moans Kendra repeatedly dialed Lucius number, but no one answered Meanwhile, Lucus was in the throes of passion with another Kendraâs calls She threw her phone against the wall in frustration The next day. Natalia went to school and saw Lexi âLest, whereâs Sabrina?â
1040 âShe left, off to France, with tears in her eyes. Natalia, why are both of you like this? She didnât want to go to France, but her grandfather is a man of his word!â Lexi lamented, tugging at Nataliaâs arm.
Natalia, gazing at the gradually rising sun, comforted Lexi by patting her shoulder. âLetâs go, off to class. Everyone has their own destiny. Sheâll be okay. Donât worry âOkayâ Lexi nodded, gripping Nataliaâs hand tightly. âYouâre alright after the kidnapping the other day, right? The whole school knows about it. The wheelchairâbound hunk even came to school to see the principalâ
Iâm fine. Iâm back safe and sound, arenât 1? Natalia replied, puzzled as to why Magnus would come to see the principal.
A week later, Natalia and Lexi began their final exams. For the intense three days of testing, Magnus didnât disturb her, driving her to school every morning and picking her up every night, even giving up his study for her use.
But inevitably, the wheelchair would roll in from time to time, the man capturing her petite figure for a lingering kiss. Natalia had already grown accustomed to Magnus overbearing and unreasonable behavior.
After completing her exams, Natalia began her summer vacation. Kendra had been unusually quiet during this period, not causing any trouble.
Meanwhile, Magnusâ company was thriving under his leadership, signing contracts with several European countries and boosting economic exchanges. inching the company closer to prosperity At this point, Lucius was growing more agitated. He hadnât expected the cripple to turn the company around, and, even more surprisingly, to make it more successful than before. A sense of fear and unease began to creep into his heart.
