The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 63

The fury in his heart flared up again. He was a solitary, stubborn man, who'd lived on an island for

countless years. The things he held dear were not to be toyed with by anyone, let alone tarnished

again by a self-proclaimed boyfriend!

His kiss was a punishment, and he was harshly grinding against Natalia's lips.

Natalia's heart pounded like a drum. Magnus was outrageously domineering. Suddenly, she

remembered a familiar scent when she had fainted and fell into the sea, the scent that gave her air.

She opened her eyes wide to look at the handsome face of Magnus. He was kissing her madly with his

eyes closed. Mimicking him, she sucked on his lips.

Magnus' body slightly quivered, and he quickly opened his eyes to meet Natalia's blue gaze. "Thinking

of something else while we're kissing?"

".... No." Could he read minds?

Natalia braced herself against his chest, her face flaming. “Magnus, Linden called us for dinner earlier.

Now that everything is clear, let’s go downstairs to eat.”

Magnus looked at her swollen lips, and his throat was bobbing. "Okay, but darling, keep your distance

from Hector. Got it? You're a married woman now. Okay?"

"I understand. He's leaving for the States soon, don't worry. I promised you, and I'll keep my word.

Don't lose your temper," the girl said, sitting on his lap.

Magnus suddenly wondered what he would do without this girl in his life. She had already made a habit

of sitting on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and rubbed his face against hers.

"Good girl, I trust you." He turned his gaze to the slowly darkening sky outside.

He would have to instruct his uncle to send Hector back to America soon, and as for Kendra, this time,

he would make her understand the consequences of challenging him.

After dinner, Natalia prepared a bath for Magnus, and once he was clean, she gave him a half-hour

massage.

Meanwhile, Magnus sat there dealing with business affairs.

Soon, Natalia was drenched in sweat. Magnus grabbed her hand. "Go and take a bath. That's enough,

no need to massage." Every time he saw her working hard to help him with his rehabilitation, he

wanted to tell her that his legs were fine and didn't need a massage. But every time the words reached

his lips, he swallowed them back. He was afraid that if she knew his legs were fine, she would leave.

He could control the entire world, but he couldn't control a woman's heart, and he didn't want to make

her sad.

Natalia stood up and smiled faintly. "I'm not tired. As long as I can help you stand up, this little fatigue is

nothing."

A pang of guilt shot through Magnus' heart. He brushed back a lock of her hair, sticky with sweat and

plastered to her face.

"Do you want me to stand up that badly?" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Of course."

"You can't leave once I stand up!"

Natalia didn’t respond.

"I'll divorce Kendra as soon as possible. I'll make you my legitimate wife. I won't let you leave!" He

grabbed her pale hand. "Darling, did you hear me?" His voice suddenly rose.

Natalia stared at his dark eyes and nodded woodenly.

He wheeled himself into the bathroom, carrying Natalia in his arms. Her face turned even more

crimson.

"Magnus, I can walk by myself. You...”

"I'll watch you bathe, darling."

By the time Natalia finished her bath, the man was already lying in bed. He patted the other side of the

bed. "Darling, come up."

Natalia dried her hair and sat beside him. "Magnus, I have exams in a few days. I need to do a review.

Can I go to the study?"

"No!" He declared and kissed her domineeringly. How could he possibly let her go and study after

being apart for several days?

The warm kiss assaulted Natalia's senses like a raging storm. He had been thinking of her every day

while he was in France, doubting if he had fallen for her. When he heard she was in danger, he

dropped everything and risked exposing his identity to save her.

At this moment, he just wanted to possess Natalia, to ease the torment of missing her.

He didn't let Natalia go the entire night. As dawn broke, Magnus was finally satiated and carried a

sleeping Natalia to clean up. He placed her on the bed, looking at her peaceful sleeping face, and his

heart melted. Closing his eyes, he drifted into a peaceful slumber.

The next morning, Natalia woke up. Her body was sore and aching. She tried to get up but couldn't.

May pushed the door open, grinning. "Ms. Natalia, Mr. Magnus said you don't need to go to school

today. You can sleep in or have a good breakfast, then sleep."

She didn't have to go to school? What about her exams?

She slowly got up and went to the bathroom in her pajamas. In the mirror, she saw her worn-out face.

The numerous love bites on her chest reminded her of Magnus last night. He had taken her over and

over again, whispering things in her ear that made her shiver!

He didn't seem like a man whose legs were numb. He even carried her to the bathroom without using

his wheelchair. Although she was very tired then, she felt him carrying her and "walking" into the

bathroom.

She stared at her reflection in the mirror. She had felt his legs twitch several times when she was

massaging him. And his legs didn't seem numb at all. Could it be that he had recovered? But why

would he lie to her?

Suddenly, she remembered what he had said. "Even if I can stand up, you are not allowed to leave,

understand?"

Could he have been faking it all along?

Natalia washed up and went downstairs. Seeing the breakfast on the table, she sat down and started

eating.

"May, do you think Magnus' legs are already healed?" She asked casually while savoring her food.

May was taken aback, then lowered her head. "He is a good man, his legs will definitely recover. Miss,

don't worry. He will stand up one day!"

Natalia ate her breakfast quietly, not saying anything more.

In the president's office of the Andersen Corporation, Paul walked in with Kyler.

"Mr. Andersen, you asked to see me?"

Kyler stood three meters away from Magnus. He had just woken up when Magnus' secretary, Paul, had

picked him up and brought him here, saying Magnus wanted to see him.

He figured it probably had something to do with Kendra's divorce. He didn't think much of it and went

along. Although he was his father-in-law now, he knew he hadn't dealt with this Magnus as the CEO

before. So when he arrived, he could only think of matters pertaining to his impending divorce from

Kendra. After all, the Clarkson family was merely a shareholder in the Andersen Corporation.

"Mr. Clarkson, I asked you here today because there's something important I need to discuss with you."

Magnus slowly lifted his head, as his wheelchair glided smoothly into the living room. He gestured for

Kyler to sit.

Once Kyler had settled into his seat, he looked up at Magnus in the wheelchair. "Mr. Andersen, feel

free to give me your orders directly. After all, there are no strangers here." He finished with a chuckle.

After Magnus had the secretary brew some coffee and leave the room, he got straight to the point. "Mr.

Clarkson, are you aware that your daughter Kendra was implicated in the kidnapping of my wife,

Natalia, the day before yesterday?"

"What?"

Was Kendra kidnapping Natalia? That seemed impossible.
