Chapter 226
The Imposter Bride
Thank you for your efforts, goodbyeâ Natalia forced the words through clenched teeth. âI can continue working at Orange Horizon, but please, Mr. Andersen, respect yourself As of tomorrow, Iâll be someone elseâs fiancee I hope you wonât do anything that damages the companyâs imageâ
âHa, you think Iâd just stand by and watch you get engaged to that Brit? My dear wife, you donât seem to know me very well Magnus face was graced with a smile that felt like a spring breeze, but there was an underlying coldness that sent chills down her spine. As he undid his tie and approached Natalia, the air in the room seemed to freeze Natalia cautiously moved towards the door as the previous scene flashed before her eyes. She needed to escape this room âMy dear wife, Iâve been too lenient with you. You seem to think you can leave me whenever you want.
Let me tell you, you wonât escape from my side, not even for a secondâ Magnus removed his suit jacket and casually tossed it onto his desk as he advanced towards Natalia She quickly unlocked the door, but Magnus pulled her back into his embrace before she could open it fully Feeling her softness against him, Magnus couldnât help but inhale deeply. Only his dear wife had this intoxicating scent Noticing Magnus sniffing her hair, Natalia felt herself stiffen Mr Andersen, please show me some respect âHa, my dear wife, you certainly know how to test my patience. I wonder whatâs so disrespectful about being affectionate with my wifeâ
As soon as Magnus finished speaking, Natalia broke free from his embrace. But before she could take two steps, she found herself back in his arms.
Feeling dizzy, Natalia was once again held tightly by Magnus, who showered her with soft kisses. Her delicate wrists were trapped by Magnus, and her hands were forced to rest against his crotch. Even through his trousers, she could feel his arousal.
âMagnus, youâre a jerk.â
âRight, since youâre calling me a jerk, I might as well live up to the title! You are driving me insane!
Magnusâ desire, which he had barely managed to suppress. erupted at the touch of Natalia if hatred could keep her by his side, then he was willing to be hated But once he had her in his arms again, he didnât want to let her go. He wanted to express his pentâup desires freely, to make the emptiness of the past five years real! Even if it meant going to hell afterward, he didnât care.
Just then, the office door was kicked open, and Callum stormed in, his face grim. Seeing Magnus pushing Natalia onto the couch, he was filled with rage. He grabbed Magnus by the collar and punched him âMagnus, you bastard!â
Callumâs punch was strong, pushing Magnus back a few steps.
âCall Natalia was startled by Callumâs sudden appearance. She didnât expect him to witness her in such a vulnerable state Callum scooped Natalia into his arms. âLetâs go â
He had been waiting in the car for Natalia, but when she didnât appear, he decided to go in. Luckily, he arrived in time to stop Magnus from taking advantage of Natalia Magnus wiped the blood from his lip and growled, âStop! Do you think you can come and go as you please here? Is this place some kind of convenience store to you?â
Magnus stood up, grabbed Callumâs hand, and pulled Natalia back into his arms. âSheâs my woman. Itâs not your place to take her away!â He bellowed âSecurity What am I paying you for? Letting this guy inâ
The security guards immediately rushed in and started pulling Callum away.
Callum turned back to face Magnus, and his eyes were filled with disdain. âMagnus, you disgust me! I welcome a fair competition for Natalia, but I will not tolerate anyone who disrespects her!â
Magnus felt embarrassed, realizing he had been forcing Natalia. He had been too impulsive, and his longing for Natalia over the years overpowered his rational thoughts if Callum hadnât amved in time, he might have taken Natalia night there and then.
âMy dear wife, I. Iâm sorry Magnus awkwardly apologized, fearing Natalia would never speak to him again. He held her tightly, terrified she would leave him again. And things were heading in the direction he feared Seeing the security guards pulling Callum away. Nataliaâs gaze towards Magnus was filled with estrangement âMagnus, Iâm just your subordinate, and I donât know you well. Please, donât call me your wife again. Iâm not!â
Turning to Callum, she said, âCal, letâs go now!
She needed to leave immediately, to get away from this dangerous man. If she didnât leave now, she feared her defenses would crumble Magnus was like a demon from hell, wanting to possess her completely His possessiveness was too strong. Five years had passed, and all she wanted was to forget the unpleasant past and live a peaceful life. She also didnât want to continue owing Callum âOkay, letâs go âCallum glared at Magnus and then walked out with Natalia.
This was England, not Melfort, where Magnus could rule unchallenged Callum didnât give a damn about Orange Horizon!
Magnus watched Callum leave with Natalia and furiously punched his desk. The loud noise echoed around the room, and blood slowly dripped onto the floor from his fingers.
He could match wits with Callum, but he couldnât stand being looked down upon by Natalia He was filled with regret now Callum had ruined what was supposed to be a joyous reunion.
Magnus strode towards the floorâtoâceiling windows, watching the crowd below. His eyes were turbulent with emotion Callum, who had just stepped out of the door, heard a thunderous noise from inside the room. He stopped abruptly and turned back. âMagnus, I dislike you, but Iâm still inviting you to my engagement party with Natalia tomorrowâ
With that, Callum left, taking Natalia with him in a stylish exit.
The descending elevator doors slowly closed. Callum heard the sound of fumiture being smashed in the CEOâs office, and a smirk had spread across his face.
A Magnus had heard him, and he was furious to the point of wanting to kill! His eyes sparkled with a bloodthirsty grin. Ha! An engagement party? Callum boking for trouble!
