"Thank you for your efforts, goodbye!" Natalia forced the words through clenched teeth. "I can continue working at Orange Horizon, but please, Mr. Andersen, respect yourself. As of tomorrow, I'll be someone else's fiancée. I hope you won't do anything that damages the company's image."
"Ha, you think I'd just stand by and watch you get engaged to that Brit? My dear wife, you don’t 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.
"My dear wife, I've been too lenient with you. You seem to think you can leave me whenever you want. Let me tell you, you won't escape from my side, not even for a second." 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 couldn't 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."
"Ha, my dear wife, you certainly know how to test my patience. I wonder what's so disrespectful about being affectionate with my wife."
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.
"Magnus, you're a jerk."
"Right, since you're calling me a jerk, I might as well live up to the title! You are driving me insane!" Magnus' 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 didn't want to let her go. He wanted to express his pent-up desires freely, to make the emptiness of the past five years real!
Even if it meant going to hell afterward, he didn't 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. "Magnus, you bastard!"
Callum's punch was strong, pushing Magnus back a few steps.
"Cal!" Natalia was startled by Callum's sudden appearance. She didn't expect him to witness her in such a vulnerable state.
Callum scooped Natalia into his arms. "Let's go."
He had been waiting in the car for Natalia, but when she didn't appear, he decided to go in. Luckily, he arrived in time to stop Magnus from taking advantage of Natalia.
