Chapter 501
Back in the day, all Natalia could think about was how to get close to Marcus, and how to become his gal. Now, Marcus was right beside her, her wish soon to come true. But surprisingly, she didnât feel as happy as she thought she would
Instead, a kind of indescribable feeling spread in her heart, which was clenched so tight she could barely breathe But for a better life, she couldnât chicken out. She had to sleep with Marcus tonight. If she could successfully carry Marcus child tonight, she would no longer be under Cameronâs thumb.
She reached out to unbutton Marcusâ shirt, but her hand was shaking uncontrollably.
Natalia kept pep talking herself, that the current Marcus wasnât fully awake, and that he was not that scary.
However, to Natalias surprise, before she could touch Marcus, he suddenly grabbed her wrist, his voice cold as an icy devil, âWho the hell are you?â
Natalia jumped, her voice trembling. âPresident Hartley, youâre so drunk you donât recognize me? Iâm Corneliaâ
With a bit of force from Marcus, Nataliaâs bones crackled âSpill!â Marcus shouted
This woman was not Comelia. When she got close to him, he felt that her scent was off. Cornelia always had a fresh fragrance about her, her unique scent that he had never smelled on anyone else
This womanâs face looked like Corneliaâs, but she didnât have the familiar scent. Instead, there was a strong odor of cosmetics.
She was a woman arranged by Zavier, definitely not Cornelia
Marcus was so strong. Natalia felt like her bones would be crushed, so she had to admit her identity, âMarcus, Iâm Natalia.â
âNataliaâ Marcus released her. He quickly stood up, looking down at the woman, âWho sent you?â
Natalia looked at Marcus in shock. He was barely standing just now Why was he suddenly so sober?
Could it be?
Natalia slowly realized, Marcus might have been pretending in front of Zavier. He was always sober, and never mistaken her for Cornelia.
Marcusâ eyes were sharp, as if he would pierce Nataliaâs heart, âYou wonât say?â
Natalia dared not keep silent. She wished she could beg for mercy right now, âZavier sent me.â
âWho else besides Zavier?â Marcus wanted to find out Zavierâs accomplices, so he put on this act in front of Zavier.
âIâm not lying. To gain his trust, Natalia quickly explained, âTonight, I went to find Cornelia and ran into you. After you asked Austin to take me home, I got a call from Mr. Rivera. He asked me to come over and had someone make me up to look like Cornelia. At first, I didnât know what his purpose was until I saw you. I realized what he was up to â
âYouâre buddies with Zavier? You came here without knowing his purpose? Marcus looked at Natalia with cold eyes, obviously not believing her words.
Under his gaze, Natalia dared not make up any lies, âHe told me on the phone that I could be with you, so I cameâ
Marcus chuckled, but the laughter didnât reach his eyes. The silverâframed glasses were revealing eyes like a bottomless abyss that one dared not peer into. He asked, âYou want to be with me?â
