The Imposter Bride

Chapter 152

When Magnus was on the verge of losing control and thrusting into her, he suddenly realized something was not right. Suppressing the discomfort coursing through his body, he lifted his gaze to Natalia’s face.

She was staring at the ceiling, her pale face streaked with tears. She looked as if she’d lost all hope for the future, just silently gazing at the ceiling.

Something in Magnus heart felt like it had been pierced, the pain unbearable. He slowly reached out and wiped away Natalia’s tears.

“Darlin, I’m sorry if you don’t want this, we won’t do it. Please, don’t cry.” He rolled off her, holding her close.

His chin rested on her head, his hand gently soothing her, I’m sorry, darlin‘. I shouldn’t have acted like that just because you mentioned breaking up. Nat, can we not break up? If there’s anything you want me to change, I will

Magnus words came tumbling out in a rush, his grip on her tightening with each passing second, as if he feared she’d disappear.

Natalia remained silent, falling into a deep sleep, exhausted from her recent flight.

Sensing her peaceful, steady breathing, Magnus finally loosened his grip, his eyes fixed on Natalia’s sleeping face. He stayed awake the whole night, just watching her sleep until dawn.

“Nat. I would never let you leave me.”

As the sun rose, Magnus finally fell asleep. Because he hadn’t slept all night, he slept soundly while Natalia had woken up

Upon opening her eyes, she saw the handsome face in front of her, and the stubble on his chin. There was a pang in her heart, but she gently removed his hand from her waist and got out of bed to prepare for school.

When Magnus woke up, it was almost ten o’clock. He habitually reached for her, but the cold bed jolted him awake. He quickly got dressed and hurried downstairs, asking the maid, “Where’s she?”

The maid, seeing Magnus in his pajamas, quickly averted her eyes, “Ms. Natalia has gone to school

Magnus sighed in relief, turning to go upstairs. He noticed the suitcase Natalia had brought home yesterday in the study. He picked it up and took it to their bedroom, planning to open the suitcase and hang up her clothes.

Inside, he found a trophy, Natalia had won second place in the comic contest. He gently picked up the trophy and placed it on the desk in his study, admiration brimming in his eyes. He always knew his little wife was a gem; she just needed the right care to shine brightly.

After tidying up her things, he got ready and left for work.. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Natalia went to school and had a whole day of classes with Lexi. She watched the sunset, dreading going home to face the man in the mansion.

But Lexi had to go to her parents house today as her mother was unwell. Before leaving, Lexi handed her a key, “Natalia, if you don’t want to go home, your can stay at my place. I have to go see my mom. he’s not well

Natalia shook her head, “It’s okay, I’ll go home. She would have to face him eventually. There was no point in dodging him.

After Lexi left, Natalia began her walk home. She had only taken a few steps when she felt like someone was following her. She turned around but didn’t see anyone

As she continued her walk, someone called out to her “Ms Clarkson, please wait.”

She looked up to see Isabella approaching her. Natalia was slightly taken aback. wondering what Isabella wanted.

Isabella reached her, offering a polite smile, “Ms. Clarkson, may we speak privately? My name is Isabella Isabella introduced herself, knowing that Natalia was sensitive to her name and would recognize who she was

“Isabella, what can I do for you? Natalia asked calmly

There’s a coffee shop nearby. May I invite you for a cup of coffee?” Isabella asked, unfazed by Natalia’s cold demeanor.

“I won’t take up much of your time, please Isabella smiled, leading the way.

Natalia didn’t really want to go but didn’t want to seem cowardly in front of this confident woman. She followed Isabella to the coffee shop.

Once they were seated, the waitress brought two iced coffees. Isabella still wore a smile, Ms. Clarkson, I wanted to talk to you about Magnus. I’m sure you’d be interested

Natalia frowned, “Isabella, Magnus is my husband now. I’m not sure what you want to discuss. Also, I’m quite busy, I have a ton of homework because i am a student “Even though she and Magnus were

having issues, she didn’t want to lose her dignity in front of this woman.

“Ms. Clarkson, you’re very lucky. You can still study after getting married.” Isabella stirred her coffee absentmindedly, looking as if she was reminiscing or trying to intimidate Natalia

Then she began to tell her story “Nine years ago, Magnus and I went to the same school And at that time, we were both fond of each other until his leg was broken. I held him and fainted from crying, swearing to take care of him for the rest of my life He was self–destructive and even wanted to kill himself But I stayed with him, helping him through those dark times. He went to Sapphire Island and I followed, that’s where he started to regain his love for life. Later he went to France for treatment, asking me to wait for him But my parents sent me to America, and we missed each other for nine years. And now that we’ve met, he’s already married to you”

Tears streamed down isabella’s face as she stared at Natalia with a pitiful expression, “Ms Clarkson, can you let Magnus and me be together? He knows he’s married to you and doesn’t want to hurt you. You also know why you two got married. I studied hard in America, just hoping to one day stand by his side‘

“Ms. Clarkson, you’re young and beautiful, and there will be better men out there who will love you. Please, can you let Magnus go? These past few days while you were in France, we were together, and he finally realized what we’ve missed. Ms. Clarkson, I’m begging you, please leave Magnus. How much money do you want? We can give it to you.”

As Isabella spoke, tears streamed down her face, making her look really pitiful.

Natalia stared at the girl in front of her coldly. Suddenly, she broke into a radiant smile. Her dainty face was lit up with amusement as she fixed her gaze on Isabella. “Isabella, I must admit that your acting is unparalleled. As far as I know, back then, you looked down on Magnus because he was handicapped.

You listened to your parents and moved to the States. This time, upon hearing that Magnus has become the CEO of Andersen

Corporation, you hurried back to see him, joining forces with Kendra to stage one act after another just to provoke me.”
