The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel 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 arms, 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. Let's 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 her 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 perv! I..."

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.
