Chapter 132
The Imposter Bride
At a local country club, Isabellaâs lips curled into a smile. She was clad in a sleek, black dress that accentuated her slender figure.
Years ago, after Magnusâ leg was crushed in an accident, she stayed by his side, witnessing his helplessness. Her parents urged her to leave the crippled man, but she couldnât Magnus, now the CEO of Andersen Corporation, was still irresistible to her especially when she saw his recent photos in a wheelchair. Her heart pounded uncontrollably at the sight. She quickly returned home to catch up on the events. Magnus had taken revenge by marrying Kendra, but the womanâs recent scandal with Lucius had been the talk of the town Magnus standing tall again, no longer handicapped, was a sight to behold. He was as handsome as ever, exuding an aura of a melancholic prince descending from the heavens cold, yet captivatingly handsome. She was determined to win him back They once shared a mutual fondness for each other. He had genuinely liked her and had even drawn portraits of her. They would spend hours talking about everything and nothing But after his accident, everything changed.
Upon learning that Magnus had divorced Kendra and was now with her sister a mere substitute â she knew she needed to fight for him. Regardless of Kendra or the substitute, she was determined to take back her man.
Things seemed simpler now. She knew Kendra hadnât given up and proposed an alliance, which the naive woman readily agreed to On the other end of the phone, Kendra was overjoyed at Isabellaâs proposition, her spirits lifted from the gloom of recent days âNatalia, I will defeat you. I swear itâ
At eight in the evening. Kendra arrived early at the coffee shop, nervously scanning the room for any sign of Isabella Just as Kendra was about to give up and leave, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she was greeted by a woman dressed in a black dress, smiling cordially at her The woman had a mature grace about her, her almondâshaped eyes flicked upwards, her face adorned with delicate makeup and her hair cut short, exuding an air of sophistication.
âMs. Clarkson, I recognized you immediately the woman extended her hand with a smile âUh, yes, hi Kendra stammered in response.
After settling down, Isabella got straight to the point âI heard you married Magnus, then divorced him, and now heâs with your sister is Magnus happy Or perhaps is he deeply in love with your sister?â
Isabella asked, trying to gauge Kendras reaction.
âWell, not at all. Magnus doesnât like my sister. She just clings to him. Magnus seems helpless. After all, my sister canât hold a candle to you,â Kendra flattered, hoping to stay on Isabellaâs good side.
It seemed the woman in front of her wanted to get back together with Magnus. Since they werenât familiar with each other, Kendra had to leave a good impression on Isabella.
âReally? From what I heard, it doesnât seem to be the caseâ Isabella said with a smile, but Kendra sensed an underlying chill in her words.
âNo, no, few people know what is going on. I am her sister, and I know it best. Just a few days ago.
Natalia threw a fit because Magnus deceived her. No matter how Magnus tried to comfort her, she didnât give in. In my opinion, their relationship is on the rocks,â Kendra said.
âIt turns out Magnus can be sweet and caring too, but he has never done that with me before.â
Isabellaâs eyes dimmed as she thought to herself Seeing Kendraâs eagerness to help, Isabella felt a glimmer of hope. But she knew she couldnât trust Kendra completely.
Isabella put on a smile âOh, is that so? Could you help arrange a meeting with Magnus for me then? I want to see him.â
âOh sure, absolutelyââ Kendra was more than willing âLetâs do it tomorrow. Go to their company. He passes the elevator entrance on the third floor every day at nine oâclock. You can pretend to come out of the elevator Kendra, who was about to say something else, was interrupted by Isabella Thatâs enough, I can handle things myself from now on. Thanks for your help today Weâll be in touch.â
Isabella then gave her a courteous but clearly fake smile. However, her acting skills were undeniably good Seeing that Isabella wanted to get in touch with Magnus through her, Kendraâs eyes revealed a sly smile!
The next morning, isabella, dressed in an elegant outfit and light makeup, set out to meet Magnus She timed her arrival at his office building perfectly, making sure Magnus saw her as she exited the elevator Magnus was on his way to teach his young wife how to drive when he spotted a familiar figure Isabella? What was she doing here?
His mind was flooded with memories of their past before the accident Back then, they were in love.
One day on campus, a petite girl approached him, her cheeks flushed with excitement This this letter is for you. Be sure to read it, she said before running off âSuch a cute girl,â Magnus thought, opening the letter it was a love letter expressing her feelings for him.
The next morning, Magnus arrived at the school gate early, waiting for her. When the girl finally arrived, she was taken aback at the sight of him and fled Magnus hadnât anticipated this and quickly hurried to catch up âHey! Whatâs with you? Who confesses their feelings then goes into hidingâ
I was afraid youâd reject me.â The girl in front of him had a misty veil over her eyes, threatening to spill over into tears at any moment.
âWhoa, whoa, donât cry. I didnât do anything to you.â
âBut what if you donât want to be with me. The thought alone is heartbreaking. And how could you tell me not to cryâ¦â
Her long hair glistened in the sunlight, radiating a golden glow.
Iâll be with you, okay? But no more cryingâ
âOkay.â
âOkay?â
âWhat?! You really want to be with me?â
She looked unbelievingly at the attractive boy in front of her. He was handsome like a prince, making her heart beat so fast âYes.â
âHi, Iâm Magnusâ
âIsabellaâ
After that, the two spent some wonderful time together. Magnus indeed treated her as a girlfriend, accompanying her to and from school every day. During that time, the girls at school were insanely jealous of Isabella.
