The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 264

Kyler nodded repeatedly, following the doctor towards the exit. "Thank you, doctor. Let me walk you out."

Unsuspecting, the doctor walked ahead towards the front door. As they neared the entrance, Kyler grabbed a sledgehammer he'd hidden behind the door and swung it with all his might at the back of the doctor's head.

Crack! Thud!

The doctor hit the floor with a dull thud. Kyler wiped the bloody sledgehammer on his pants, muttering, "Only the dead can keep secrets. It's not my fault. You just had bad luck."

Addison, who had covered Kendra's eyes, reproached Kyler. "Are you out of your mind? Why do this in front of our daughter? And now the house is a bloody mess, disgusting! Clean this up right now!"

Kyler didn't respond but dragged the doctor's body towards the basement.

Meanwhile, in Melfort, Natalia was finally settling in.

It was the town she'd grown up in, and once she'd gotten past her initial unease, she managed to relax a bit, especially after learning that Morgan wouldn't bother her anymore.

After all, Morgan was Magnus' grandfather, and Natalia knew that Morgan had never liked her. She didn't expect to gain Morgan's approval; she just hoped he wouldn't make things difficult for her.

However, it seemed that over the years, Morgan had clearly stopped targeting her. Whether it's because Morgan had compromised with Magnus or simply because he had grown old and wanted to enjoy his family, this outcome was exactly what Natalia desired.

On her third day in Melfort, Natalia packed a small gift basket to visit her old friend, Lexi. It was a day when Magnus was away at work, and Natalia was glad for the rare moment of peace.

Since leaving that note, Lexi seemed to have disappeared completely. How irresponsible! Natalia would give Lexi a piece of her mind when she met her.

As she prepared to leave, a small voice stopped her. "Mommy, where are you going?"

Natalia looked down at little Jonas and answered gently, "Oh, I’m going to visit an old friend, sweetie. I'll be back soon."

Jonas looked up at her with hopeful eyes. "Can I come too, Mommy? I promise I'll be good."

Natalia thought for a moment, then nodded, "Sure, honey. I think Auntie Lexi would be happy to see you."

As they drove towards Lexi's house in the convertible Magnus had gifted her, Natalia failed to notice the pair of eyes watching them from a distance.

As she drove, Natalia couldn't shake off the feeling that they were being followed. Jonas, wise beyond his years, confirmed her suspicions. "Mommy, there's been a car following us since we left the house."
