The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 158

Natalia grabbed Kendra's wrist with a vice-like grip, "Don't think you can still lay a hand on me, Kendra. I've paid back all the favours your family has granted me. Now, get out of here."

Kendra struggled, using all her strength to wrench her hand from Natalia's grasp. Glaring at her swollen wrist, she shot Natalia a venomous look. She feared that the man would come back for her, so she stormed out of the mansion, her pride intact. "Natalia, you wait and see. I'll make your life a living hell."

Kendra stomped out of Maplewood Manor. Not long after, she bumped into someone. She looked up, and to her surprise, it was that man again.

Hadn't he left? Why was he back?

Callum stared at Kendra, "Why are you still here? I've found out that you're Natalia's sister, but I've heard you've bullied her since you were kids and even stole her pendant. Is that true?"

Callum's brown eyes were as cold as ice, a stark contrast from when he met her on the street earlier.

"No, I didn't bully her, and I didn't steal her pendant. She gave it to me herself." Kendra knew this man was a force to be reckoned with.

She had managed to escape earlier, only to be caught by his men and brought back. She had a feeling that Callum was even more intimidating than Magnus.

"I hope not. From now on, I won't let you bully Buttercup anymore." Callum pointed to her nose as he warned her.

Kendra didn't want to waste her breath arguing with him, so she turned to leave. But after a few steps, she turned back. She looked at Callum with a smirk, "Mr. Callum, your beloved Buttercup is married now. How do you plan to take her away? Her husband now is the king of Melfort, someone you can't afford to mess with." After speaking, she laughed heartily and then strode away.

At Kendra’s words, Callum’s face darkened. Had she really married? Had he arrived a step too late? His girl, he would take her away, whether she was married or not.

Natalia, at Maplewood Manor, saw off all the guests and returned to her room. She slumped into a chair as if she had lost all her strength.

For the past decade, she had been haunted by a dream, not realizing that it wasn't a dream at all, but her memories from when she was five.

However, aside from that dream, she had no other memories. Could it be that her memories from before she was five had been erased?

Was it her mother? Why would her mother erase her memories? Why didn't she want her? Why did her mother hand her over to Kyler and never ask about her again? Why would her mother do that?

She sat on the balcony, staring at the fiery sunset, feeling unloved and rejected by the world.

Two days later, Magnus finally returned to Melfort. He went straight to Maplewood Manor after getting off the plane. When he got Linden's call, his heart was set on fire. Someone was actually trying to steal his wife.

He couldn't wait to see who dared to come to Melfort to look for trouble. He didn't even stop by his company, heading straight for Maplewood Manor.

Upon seeing the black Rolls Royce, Linden knew he had returned. "Mr. Magnus, you're back."

"Where's my wife?" Magnus asked, his face full of concern.

"Ms. Natalia is in the study. She seems quite upset since that man visited. She hasn't left the house in the past few days." Linden reported.

Magnus went straight upstairs and pushed open the door to the study, only to find a slender figure on the balcony, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, engrossed in her painting. She was so focused that she didn't notice the man who quietly approached her from behind.
