The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 127

"Those two fools, they're just children playing adults. The best strategy right now is to avoid ruffling their feathers. Once we know where my wife is, we can nab them all in one fell swoop."

"Alright, I got it. I'll get in touch with the security team. Have them tail you."

Watching Lucius get under control, Magnus couldn't help but smirk, his plan had worked perfectly. "You think you can challenge me? You're digging your own grave." He moved his wheelchair closer, slapping Lucius' contorted face, "You are so damn stupid."

Biting his teeth in anger, Lucius stared at the man in the wheelchair. He wished he could rip him apart.

"Don't worry Nat, I'm coimg." Magnus turned and entered the rundown factory.

As he pushed open the broken door, it wasn't Nat's face that met his eyes, but Kendra's.

Magnus' presence sent a shock through Kendra. This was bad, Lucius had screwed up.

Magnus looked at the foolish woman before him, his dark eyes glinting ominously. "Where's Nat? Where is she?" Magnus asked, his disdain for Kendra clear in his eyes.

"She's right behind me." Kendra replied coldly, her smirk intact even in defeat. She wouldn't let Nat get away that easily.

Magnus followed her gaze to see Nat, hanging high from the steel beam of the ceiling, unconscious and deathly pale.

"Darling!" Magnus shouted, his voice echoing in the empty factory.

Hearing his voice, Nat slowly opened her eyes, a weak smile appearing on her face at the sight of the man in the wheelchair. "Magnus." She managed to whisper, his name carrying all the weight in her world.

"How about it, cripple? If you have the ability, save her yourself. You've treated me like this before, and now it's Nat's turn to taste the bitterness I've suffered." Kendra roared, her face twisted in rage and vindictiveness.

She tightly gripped the rope in her hand, ready to let Nat fall from the height at any moment.

Magnus saw her intentions clearly, but instead of panicking, he felt an anger rise within him. He stared at her, his eyes cold and determined as he slowly stood up from his wheelchair.

"You... you can stand?" Kendra gasped, staring at the scene unfolding before her in disbelief.

Magnus stood tall, taking steady steps towards Kendra, his presence commanding and godlike.

Kendra was stunned, forgetting about her vengeance on Nat as she watched the man approach her. His cold demeanor like a demon from hell, yet captivatingly irresistible.

Nat too, was shocked. She watched as Magnus stood up from his wheelchair, forgetting about the dangerous height she was dangling from.

He really stood up. He was standing. A weak smile appeared on her face.

"I told you, anyone who touches my woman will die." Magnus approached Kendra, pulling her up by her hair and throwing her to the side.

"You should be thankful that you're a woman. I'll spare your life." Magnus said, pulling the rope and slowly lowering Nat to the ground.

Once Nat was safely by his side, he scooped her up in his arms, holding her as if she was his entire world. He was terrified of what could've happened to her.
