The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 54

Magnus pulled her onto his lap, and a gentle smile was plastered on his face. "No rush, it's Friday.

We're not heading to the office today. Tomorrow and the day after, I'll take you somewhere special. On

Monday, I'll drop you off at school."

Natalia blinked in surprise, taken aback. She was going back to school! "Are you truly sending me back

to school?"

"Mhm. I promised you, didn't I? But, my dear, there's a condition."

"What's the condition?"

"You're only allowed to attend school—no interaction with any boys. You have to come home right after

school. Can you do that?" His dark gaze locked onto her petite face, serious and unwavering.

Natalia laughed, and her giggles echoed softly in his embrace. "Are you afraid that I'll run away? Or

that I won't come back? Don't worry, I won't be interacting with any boys. Until you're back on your feet,

and I won't be going anywhere."

Magnus stared at his wife. Her laughter was pure and innocent, and her beauty radiated like a kitten All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

that just got a fish. As her eyes curved, she snuggled closer to his chest. His heartbeat skipped a beat.

His hands immediately cradled her small head, leaning down to kiss her passionately, as if wanting to

consume her whole. He wanted her beauty and purity to only bloom for him.

His kiss was fervent, and his body reacted almost instantly, causing him discomfort.

Looking at Natalia, with her gentle demeanor and her scent, he was helplessly in love. He regretted

letting her go back to school. Once she was back at school, her world would no longer exclusively

contain him. She was smart - he was sure she could climb to the top of the world.

Magnus wouldn't misjudge a person. He held her tightly. His voice was husky when he finally pulled

back. "Darling, let's go to the bedroom."

Natalia pushed him away at his words, quickly standing up. "Magnus, it's daylight! And besides, too

much sex isn’t good for the body—it might affect the recovery of your leg."

Magnus watched Natalia, her pouting expression only fueling his desire. A quick glance at the tent in

his pants sent Natalia into the kitchen, her heartbeat racing.

Magnus had no choice but to move his wheelchair towards the kitchen, not wanting to be far from her.

Daytime wasn’t suitable? Then nighttime it was. A smirk curled on his lips at the thought.

In the Clarkson family mansion, Kendra returned home bruised and battered. As she pushed open the

front door, the maid gasped in shock. "Miss, what happened to you?"

Addison and Kyler turned their heads at the maid's exclamation, their eyes widening at Kendra's pitiful

state. Her lips were swollen, her clothes were stained with blood, and her hair was a wild mess.

"Kendra, what happened to you?"

"Who did this?" Addison and Kyler stood up in fury, their eyes burning with anger. Kyler, who had a

good reputation in Melfort, couldn't accept seeing his daughter in such a state.

Addison rushed over, tears streaming down her face as she hugged Kendra. "Kendra, who did this to

you? Tell us!"

Kendra's tears fell. The pain in her mouth was preventing her from speaking.

"Kendra, who did this?" Kyler's voice thundered.

"Magnus..." Kendra managed to choke out before fainting in Addison's arms.

In the hospital room, Addison looked at her daughter, her eyes red from crying. "Magnus has gone too

far! Why would he beat Kendra like this? Kyler, you need to demand justice for Kendra."

Kyler paced around the room. "What was Kendra doing at his mansion? Even if Magnus is ruthless, he

wouldn't beat her like this without reason."

"Can't you just go and ask? Even if he's the CEO of the Andersen Corporation, who does he think he is

to hit a woman? Call Lucius right now!" Addison yelled out in frustration.

Lucius arrived at the hospital and was shocked at Kendra's state. He had already found out that

Kendra had gone to Maplewood Manor to confront Natalia, and Magnus had retaliated to defend

Natalia.

Why did she want to hit Natalia? Because she wanted Natalia to leave, and she also wanted to marry

Magnus - this is what Kendra, this reckless woman, was doing. He felt a bit heartbroken watching her,

but thinking that she was only doing this because she wanted to marry Magnus, he only had contempt

in his heart. In front of Kyler, he couldn't say anything.

"Lucius, Magnus is taking things too far! He beat Kendra like this—we need to sue him!" Addison cried

out, her voice stricken with grief.

"Mrs. Clarkson, I will avenge Kendra. I will make sure that she is compensated for her pain," Lucius

said, his voice filled with firm resolve.

On the third day after Kendra's incident, Natalia returned to campus.

That morning, Magnus drove Natalia to the entrance of Melfort College. He had already spoken to the

principal about her situation. Natalia, a star student, had been forced to take a few months off school.

Now that she was back, things were back to normal.

Natalia looked up at her old campus, and a multitude of emotions coursed through her. Magnus patted

her shoulder. "Go on, study hard. Don't embarrass me. I'll be checking your grades!"

Natalia turned to look into Magnus' dark eyes, feeling as if he was more of a guardian. With gratitude,

she leaned in and kissed his cheek. "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

She had never initiated a kiss with him before, and although it was as brief as the touch of a butterfly, it

brought immense joy to Magnus. He ruffled her hair, his voice fond, "Go on, call me if you need

anything."

"Okay." Natalia opened the car door and strode towards the school entrance.

Magnus watched her retreating figure disappear into the hallway before instructing Linden to drive off.

As Natalia approached the classroom door, a shadow lunged at her before she could even look up.

She instinctively closed her eyes to dodge but couldn't avoid the shadow's embrace.

"Natalia, is that really you? My God, am I dreaming? You're back?" Sabrina's eyes were wide with

astonishment and fear as she stared at Natalia.

Lexi, trailing behind, also had her eyes wide open. She reached out to pinch Natalia's arm.

"Ouch." Natalia turned to look at her. "Lexi, I don't remember us having any beef, why are you pinching

me the moment you see me?"

Lexi jumped up. "It's Natalia, it's really Natalia!"

"Of course it's me. What's wrong with you guys? Don't you recognize me anymore?" Natalia tried hard

to suppress her laughter as she turned and walked into the school.
