Chapter 125

Lucius halted in his tracks “What do you say? How about we get back together? It was my fault in the past. My judgment was clouded by fame and fortune. Please, don’t leave me. and don’t ignore me. I’ve paid for my foolishness.

Compared to Magnus, I’ve realized I still love you. Let’s fix the things between us, please. You’re the only man I’ve ever loved, Lucius.” Kendra broke down in tears as she spoke.

After all, Lucius had truly loved her once, and he couldn’t deny that his heart was not entirely untouched. But he was unsure whether any of her words were genuine. If he was to bring Magnus down, he knew he couldn’t do it alone, he needed Kendra’s help Kendra seemed like a changed person today “Kendra, you know, I’ve always loved you. The way I treated you before was out of jealousy. Let’s forget about the past and start anew”

To an outsider, they looked like an affectionate couple, but both had their own ulterior motives In the parking lot, the swaying car finally came to a stop.

Lucius wrapped his arms around the woman in his armhs, who was already weak from the intense action that they were just doing, and lit up a cigarette “Kendra, everyone has a weakness, but what’s Magnus Achilles heel?”

“Natalia, Kendra mumbled, her forehead resting against Lucius‘ chest “Natalia Lucius‘ eyes flashed, and his mouth curved up into an evil arc.

“Kendra. I’ve just had an idea.”

“Natalia. It’s been ages since you contacted me. Have you forgotten about me since you got married”

The person before her looked upset, her innocent big eyes blinked, eliciting sympathy “Oh, stop it, Lexi. We’ve been friends for years. Don’t you know I love you the most?”

Lexi couldn’t resist Natalia’s charm, her face brightened instantly. “Well, to compensate for hurting my feelings, you’ll have to spend the whole day with me tomorrow”

“Sure Lets meet here at the same time tomorrow.”

Two twenty–something women, bathed in sunlight, looked like children lost in a dream.

That night, at the Villa Montecresto.

“Magnus I saw Lexi today, you know, my best friend. I haven’t seen her in ages since I moved here.”

Natalia cozied up in Magnus‘ arms, speaking in a soft, sweet voice Listening to his girl talk about her day, Magnus felt a sweetness spread in his heart. “Mm–hmm.

Anything else?” Magnus responded nonchalantly “No, nothing I just wanted to tell you. She wants me to spend the day with her tomorrow. I feel like I owe her a lot” Natalia twirled a lock of her hair as she spoke.

“Who’s going to keep me company if you’re with her, hmm?” Magnus feigned annoyance, looking at Natalia Natalia lifted her head, pouting and staring at Magnus with clear and shiny eyes. “Why are you like this, getting jealous over everyone? Natalia turned héi head away Suppressing his laughter, Magnus cupped Natalia’s chin, turning her face to him, and planted a light kiss on her lips.

Natalia’s cheeks immediately flushed “You you’re such a a pery!!

Before she could finish, Magnus silenced her with another kiss, stopping her from more grumbles In the bedroom, Magnus effortlessly pinned her underneath him, kissing her passionately while unbuttoning her blouse. Natalia no longer resisted, she even found herself enjoying this Feeling her response, Magnus became more enthusiastic, becoming one with her How could this woman be so irresistible? Even when she was angry. he wanted to possess her How could he allow her to leave so casually?

The bedroom was soon filled with the sounds of their pleasure The next morning, Natalia woke up early, applied light makeup, and put on a simple white dress, looking incredibly ipnocent Magnus, however, was a bit worried. He looked at the freshly dressed Natalia, and said with indulgence, “Come back early.”

“Mm–hmm. I will.”

At the street corner.

“Lexi! I’m here!” Natalia spotted a girl in a pink dress from afar, and she knew it was Lexi Lexi loved pink “Natalia. I thought I’d never see you I’ve been waiting here for 20 minutes. Why are you so late? Lexi pouted cutely.

“Oh, stop it. There was a bit of traffic I even left homa 10 minutes early, Natalia defended herself, not mentioning that she had lingered in Magnus warm embrace until the last possible minute “Alright, alright, I forgive you. Lexi said and raised her cute smile again.

Natalia felt a pang of guilt. “So where should we go?”

“Let’s go to the amusement park. It’ll get crowded later”

“Okay“Natalia gave in.

The two girls, hand in hand, happily skipped towards the amusement park, unaware of the watchful eyes behind them.

They had a blast, but they couldn’t shake off the feeling that someone was following them. At first, they were puzzled, but as they immersed themselves in the fun and chatter, they forgot about their suspicions.

“Maybe it’s just our imagination, Natalia thought “Natalia, I’m tired. Let’s find a place to rest, Lexi suggested, her cheeks flushed from the excitement “Sure. Let’s go to our favorite cafe from our school days.”

“Great!”

Two girls quickly hit it off, yet they were unaware that these words had long been overheard by someone with ulterior motives.

“Here, two glasses of iced Americano”

“Alright, just a moment”

The girls continued reminiscing about their school days, oblivious to the fact that the barista had been replaced by a different person.

“Hahaha, remember that time when “Natalia? Natalia?”

After a single sip of her coffee, Natalia slumped onto the table. Lexi, who was in the middle of a story, hadn’t even touched her coffee. The sudden turn of events shocked her. She stared at Natalia, momentarily paralyzed.

“Somebody, help! Someone has passed out. Can anyone help?” Lexi shouted, her voice filled with panic. However, a few moments passed and no one responded to her ories
