Chapter 287
The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)
Callum was hit with a sudden revelation, but his body seemed to react on its own, sweeping Lexi off her feet and carrying her towards the large, luxurious king-size bed.
He craved her, his desire refusing to be ignored for even a moment longer.
Lexi resisted, struggling against him. She wasn't some object for his pleasure, she wouldn't be!
But her efforts were nothing more than child's play to Callum, like a playful tickle that barely registered.
As they fell onto the expansive bed, Lexi glared at Callum. "You better let me go right now, you dishonorable brute."
Callum deftly removed their clothing and whispered in Lexi's ear, "No, I'm not a brute. Didn't you tell me to start a new life? So save me, because god, I don't know why, but I'm hellishly obsessed with you."
Lexi was taken aback. She never expected Callum to develop such feelings for her. Exposed and vulnerable, Lexi shook her head in embarrassment.
"No, no, no, you're just using me as a replacement for Natalia. You can't do this."
Callum forcefully parted Lexi's legs and leaned over her, murmuring to her, "That's not it. These days, I keep thinking about you involuntarily. Whether I'm happy or upset, I always want to share it with you. Since you said I'm beyond redemption, why don't you save me, give me a chance to start over, to break free from my infatuation with Buttercup."
Lexi wanted to push Callum away, but his words acted like a spell, making her feel dizzy. Callum had already had his way by the time she regained her senses.
"Sweetheart, please give me the chance to start anew and break free from my obsession with Natalia," Callum pleaded, almost like a prayer, as he pressed into her.
Lexi pulled the thin blanket over her face, hating herself for somewhat enjoying the sensation. She was the one beyond redemption.
Their tryst continued under Callum's relentless pursuit. Lexi resented him in her heart, but her body yearned for him. Closing her eyes, she soon succumbed to Callum's advances.
The orgasm passed, leaving Lexi completely exhausted. She lay limp on the bed, not wanting to meet Callum's gaze. Suddenly, Callum, who was about to get up, scooped Lexi into his arms. Startled, Lexi quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, afraid of being dropped, "What are you doing?"
"It's not very comfortable here. Let's change the venue." Callum gave her a suggestive smile, carrying Lexi towards the bathroom.
Entering the bathroom, Callum gently placed Lexi in the filled bathtub before joining her.
Feeling weak, Lexi could barely lift her fingers. She was unsure whether it was due to the warm water, but her stomach started to churn. She leaned against the side of the tub and retched.
"Are you okay? Do you feel unwell somewhere?" Callum asked with concern.
Lexi shook her head. "No, I'm just feeling a bit queasy."
Although Lexi claimed she was fine, Callum couldn't help but worry. He stepped out of the tub, draped a bathrobe around himself, and rang for Rita.
"Get the doctor. Ms. Lexi isn't feeling well."
Rita rushed off and soon returned with the private doctor of the castle.
By this time, Callum had helped Lexi get dressed. He didn't want any other man to see his woman. The doctor carefully inquired about Lexi's diet lately, and, after a thorough examination, handed her a pregnancy test stick. âMs. Lexi, if Iâm not mistaken, thereâs a good chance you might be pregnant. I need you to take this test in the bathroom.â
Lexi was stunned. Impossible. How could she be pregnant? Impossible!
âNo, no, no, doctor. Iâm just feeling a bit queasy. I canât be pregnant,â Lexi immediately denied the possibility.
Meanwhile, Callumâs eyes lit up. âAre you doubting my ability or your own? If youâre too tired, I donât mind assisting you with the test.â
Imagine if she really carried Callumâs child. That would be wonderful. He was 35 and single. His family had been dissatisfied with him for a while.
Compared to Lexiâs denial, Callum was full of confidence. His family had always had excellent genes. He was almost certain he was right.
Reluctantly, Lexi went to the bathroom, followed the doctorâs instructions, and used the test stick. Her heart was pounding as she watched the test strip slowly turn red. She was praying silently, hoping that the doctor was wrong.
However, before she could see the result, Callum couldnât wait any longer and barged in. âWhat does it say?â
Lexi jumped. âWhy did you just barge in without knocking?â
Callum just shrugged. âWhatâs there to be afraid of? Have I not seen every part of you?â
Knowing Lexiâs stubborn personality, he figured that if she didnât want to be pregnant but found out she was, she would definitely try to hide it.
âLetâs let the doctor see it.â Callum reached out his large hand towards Lexi.

âWhy worry about âwhat ifs?â Letâs just go see the doctor, then weâll know for sure,â Callum said, wrapping his arm around Lexiâs shoulder and leading her out of the bathroom.
The doctor took the pregnancy test and declared, âCongratulations, Ms. Lexi. Youâre pregnant!â
His words hit Lexi like a ton of bricks. It couldnât be true. She couldnât be pregnant!
âNo, you must be mistaken. This test is faulty,â Lexi instinctively denied the doctorâs diagnosis.
âMs. Lexi, you may question my medical expertise, but you cannot doubt the reliability of this advanced technology. This pregnancy test is absolutely foolproof; itâs so precise it can detect conception the moment it happens,â the doctor arrogantly declared, striding out of the room with sure-footed steps.
