Chapter 94
The Imposter Bride
Suddenly Carter swept her off her feet and settled onto the plush leather couch, pulling Sabrina onto his lap. His eyes sparkled with amusement as he said, âAlright, enough, I apologize for not showing up these past few days.â
âYou⦠Sabrina felt extremely embarrassed sitting on his lap. This man was so shameless. They had just met, and he was already holding her like this. So improper!
She struggled to break free from his embrace, but couldnât. Turning to him, she demanded, âAre you going to let me go?â
Carter just grinned mischievously. Without a second thought, Sabrina took a swing at him, slapping him across the face.
He stared at her in shock. She had actually hit him.
Nobody had ever dared to lay a hand on him before. This girl had some nerve. With a swift movement, he pushed Sabrina onto the couch, pinning her down. Sabrinaâs heart raced. What was he going to do?
Before she could react, he leaned in and claimed her lips in a surprise kiss.
She stared wideâeyed at his handsome face, so close to her own. He was kissing her!
Damn! This was her first kiss, and this jerk had stolen it.
Just as Sabrina was about to fight back, Carterâs lips softened, taking a deep breath before biting down lightly on her lower lip.
Sabrina gasped. Just as she was about to curse him, Carter took advantage of her opened mouth to slip his tongue inside, engaging in a passionate kiss.
Sabrinaâs body tensed up, her senses overwhelmed. His heavy body pressed against her, his kiss fierce, stealing her breath away Her body slowly softened. Carter didnât released her until she felt nearly suffocated.
She tasted sweet, intoxicating him. He had originally intended to simply tease her, but her sweetness was irresistible.
He looked down at the panting girl beneath him, gulping in fresh air like a fish out of water. His heart Uttered with anticipation.
He lowered his head once again and kissed her on the lips, Sabrina didnât even have the strength to resist at all. The man was allowed to kiss her recklessly to the point where he had enough before slowly releasing her.
Sitting up, Carter pulled her into his arms, âThatâs the price for hitting me.â
Sabrina snapped back to reality, glaring at him. She raised her hand to slap him again.
But he caught her hand midâair, âIf you hit me again, itâll be more than a kiss. Iâll show you the real consequences of hitting someone.â
âYouâre despicable! Bastard!â Sabrina pushed him away, her face flushed with embarrassment. She could hardly believe that this shameless man had kissed her so intensely.
âDespicable? Iâm just doing what a fiancé should do,â he grinned devilishly. Sabrina wished she could punch his smug face.
âYouâ¦youâ¦â She pointed a finger at him. Carter just chuckled and caught her hand, placing a gentle kiss on her palm.
Sabrinaâs mind went blank. She pulled her hand away quickly, grabbing her backpack and sprinting out of the mansion.
She didnât wait for the chauffeur, choosing instead to run all the way to school. She ran as if her life depended on it, gasping and out of breath.
Carter stepped out of the mansion, watching her run off like a startled rabbit. He burst out laughing.
His life was about to get a lot more interesting. He could already picture the fun heâd have teasing his future wife.
Feeling elated, he got into his car and drove off to work.
If he had known how much fun she was, he wouldnât have hid away in Melfort.
At Melfort Hospital.
After Kyler left, Addison held Kendra, who was crying in despair in her mind, she thought about her conversation with Kyler, She had asked him to help Kendra, and Kyler said, âHelp her, how am I supposed to help her?â
âYou were the one who insisted on Natalia marrying Magnus in Kendraâs place.
âNow that you see Magnus has the ability and has taken the position of Andersen Corporationâs president, you want to come back and push Natalia. aside for your benefit!
âEven if Natalia is kindâhearted and willing to leave Magnus, do you think Magnus would agree?
âLet me tell you, if Kendra refuses to divorce Magnus, our whole family will pay the priceâ
Thinking about Kylerâs wards, Addison felt a sense of dread in her heart From a young age, Kendra had always been stubborn. If Kendra wanted the moon, Addison would find a way to give it to her Kyler had turned a blind eye to Addisonâs indulgence, since Kendra was his daughter after all Who knew that the consequences of their indulgence would be so dire?
andrs refused to divorce Magnus, it would mean the downfall of their family because Magnus would never tolerate Kandra being his Wed raventrient towards Kyle: who couldnât protect his awet daughter and wa Magnus had shown his ruthlessness in a short period of time, and everyone in the country knew about it. How could they compete with him? They had thought that Kendra becoming the CEOâs wife would bring prosperity but they hadnât expected this outcome.
Looking at her daughter, Addison wanted to persuade her to give up.
Who in the world could influence the decision of Magnus, the man who controlled Andersen Corporation?
Kyler, that worthless old man, was pushing them to their deaths!
Addison was at her witâs end.
Sitting on the edge of her bed with tears welling up in her eyes, Kendra still stubbornly said, âMom, I wonât agree to it. No matter what Magnus does to pressure me, I wonât divorce him. Iâm Magnusâ wife, and as long as I donât divorce, I always will be Mrs. Andersen. Why should Natalia take my place? She doesnât deserve it.â
In Kendraâs mind, Magnus was simply bewitched by Natalia, that conniving slut.
Once he came to his senses, he would realize that Natalia, that lowâborn illegitimate child, was not worthy of him.
By then, he would willingly take Kendra into the prestigious Andersen family. As long as she held on, she knew she would see that day.
âKendra, let it go. Our lives are more important than this stubbornness. If Magnus turns on you, how will we cope?â
âMom, even youâre not on my side now? Arenât you the one who loved me the most, this marriage was meant to be mine.â
âIt was meant to be yours, but you missed the opportunity, Kendra. There are so many good men in the world, and we donât need a ruthless man like Magnus.â
âNo, no, absolutely not. I wonât divorce, I absolutely wonât!â The image of the dignified, handsome man in the wheelchair flashed in her mind. She was determined not to give up.
