The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 318

She was never coming back! Magnus’ heart ached as if someone had mercilessly extracted a part of it, causing him such pain that he felt dizzy.

Meanwhile, Isabella, who stood nearby, was paralyzed by fear. She was filled with regret, chastising herself for her reckless decisions. How could she have forgotten that Magnus, the domineering man standing before her, who seemed like an angel, could be as merciless as a demon?

Magnus suppressed his fury, his bloodthirsty gaze fixed on Isabella. His voice was cold as winter's chill. "Isabella, you dared make my wife swear such a vile oath! You could've lived a peaceful life but decided to cross me. Well, you brought this on yourself!"

Turning to James, Magnus said, "Take her away. I reckon Perth at the back of Sapphire Island will be thrilled to have a new meal."

Isabella was so terrified she fell to the floor. She had assumed that if she said some sweet words to Magnus, he would spare her and her family as he had in the past. However, she hadn't expected such a horrifying outcome.

"No! Magnus, you can't do this to me! Please, spare me. I swear I'll never appear before you again. Please, have mercy!" Isabella crawled on her knees, clutching at Magnus' pant leg, begging for mercy.

Magnus shook Isabella off in disgust, his gaze as cold as ice. "Isabella, it's too late for regrets. If it wasn't for your malicious intentions, would my wife and I be separated? You're the cause of all this. Even a thousand cuts wouldn't be enough to quench my hatred for you!"

Isabella was thrown aside, landing clumsily on the ground. She quickly crawled back towards Magnus, only to be hoisted up by James.

He looked at the sobbing, disheveled Isabella with disgust. "You're rotten to the core. I fear even Perth would be poisoned by you. Who would want to deal with you if it wasn't for your own foolishness?"

James immobilized Isabella. All she could do was wail and beg Magnus, "Please, Magnus, I've loved you for so many years. Spare me! I didn't hurt Natalia, I just wanted her to leave you. I swear I won't do it again!"

Hearing Isabella's pleas, Magnus felt only disgust. "James, get her out of my sight. I don't want to hear another word from her."

The thought of Isabella using an antidote to force his wife away, and having Natalia swear an oath on Jonas’ life filled him with such rage he wished he could tear Isabella apart.

Isabella trembled in fear. "Magnus..."

But before she could finish, James hit her on the back of her neck, knocking her out. He then tossed the unconscious Isabella on the ground, summoned four of his men, and had them carry her off to Sapphire Island.

The grand office was once again calm. Magnus stared out of the window, and a sense of longing flooded his heart. “Where are you, my love?”

“If you've sworn not to return to me, then I'll come to you. Everything will be okay.”

Days earlier, at the Melfort harbor, a small figure embarked on an old cargo ship. It was Natalia, whom James and Dr. Frankie had been searching for, for a long time.
