The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 248

The entire world seemed to contain only Magnus and Natalia lying beneath him. After what felt like centuries, she was finally his again. Completely his.

Deep down, Natalia still loved him. After countless struggles, she closed her azure eyes and decided to let go for once. To follow her heart.

The king-sized bed in the bedroom swayed all night long. The moon had already hidden behind the clouds, leaving all time and space to these two who had been separated for too long...

...

Out on her own, Lexi wandered until eleven at night before returning home. Upon entering, she casually freshened up and threw herself onto Natalia's spacious bed, quickly succumbing to sleep.

After walking around all day, she was exhausted. Since Natalia's family was out, she enjoyed sleeping alone in this large bed.

Soon, Lexi fell into a deep slumber, but forgot to lock the door behind her.

The moonlight gradually intensified as a tall shadow approached Natalia's apartment. The shadow swayed, its footsteps unsteady, slowly arriving at the apartment door. The sensor light at the door immediately illuminated the shadow's figure, revealing it to be Callum.

During the day, Callum followed the doctor's orders and recuperated as quickly as possible. But his heart was empty, for he had noticed that Natalia seemed distant from him since her return from Magnus’ home. Even though she was attending to him attentively, the constant gap between them was piercing his heart.

After enduring a whole day in the castle, Callum, unable to be at ease, made his way to Natalia's small apartment. He wanted to have a serious talk with his Buttercup, fearing that Magnus might have bewitched her.

Before coming, Callum had toughened his courage with two glasses of whiskey, despite his doctor's repeated warnings against alcohol, but how could he dare appear before her without a little liquid courage? He couldn't bear her leaving. For all these years, she was his. How could she be with Magnus? He would go mad!

Shaking his slightly dizzy head, Callum raised his hand to knock on the door. Feeling slightly intoxicated, he raised his hand and found that he could easily push the door open.

Furrowing his brows, Callum simply walked in.

A small night light dimly lighted the room. With unsteady steps, Callum made his way to the bed and saw a woman sleeping on it. Her long hair obscured her face, but the moonlight made her skin look as delicate as pearl, smooth and tender.

Looking at her peaceful sleep, a wave of desire surged in Callum's heart. For all these years, he had been carefully protecting Natalia, fearing that she would get hurt. Was it because he was too careful that Magnus repeatedly snatched his Buttercup away?

She would have been his woman years ago if he had been less cautious. He wanted to claim Natalia! He just couldn't bear to let her go!

Some drunkenness, coupled with years of unrequited love, these feelings were like a raging sea, completely controlling Callum. In that moment, he was as if possessed by a wicked demon. All he could think of and see was the woman sleeping peacefully on the bed—Natalia.

He was determined to have her, no matter how difficult it was!

Even if it meant hell, he had to have her!

Without a second thought, he pressed himself onto the woman on the bed, kissing her lips. Her lips were sweet, making his blood rush. He was going to make her his woman, to keep her by his side!

Deep in sleep, Lexi had no idea someone was on top of her. She wanted to scream, but her lips were covered, and she couldn't make a sound.

My god, who was this man? Why had he suddenly appeared in Natalia's apartment? Was he a murderer? Was he going to rape her and then kill her?
