The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 49

Magnus took the elevator down to the ground floor of the Andersen Tower, where his butler Linden immediately wheeled him towards the parking lot. As he smoothly glided out of the building, a woman stood frozen by the stone pillars. Her gaze was fixated on the man seated in the wheelchair. He was even more striking in person than in photographs.

Dressed in a sleek black suit, his long legs were resting on the footrest of the wheelchair, and his handsome face was marked by a pair of dark, impassive eyes. He exuded an air of exclusivity, yet there was something about him that was irresistibly intriguing. Despite being wheelchair-bound, he carried an aura of regal authority.

He smoothly transitioned into a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and Linden closed the car door behind him. The car pulled away slowly. The woman, Kendra, promptly hailed a taxi and trailed behind Magnus' car. Linden, noticing the car tailing them, immediately heightened his alertness. "Sir, we're being followed," he warned.

Magnus, with his eyes closed, responded nonchalantly, "Let them follow. It's not a problem. Let's just head home."

As they arrived at Maplewood Manor, Kendra got out of her taxi and approached the gatekeeper. But she was immediately stopped by the security guard. "Miss, this is a private residence. You're not allowed to enter."

Kendra glared at the guard. "I came here with Mr. Andersen."

"That's impossible. Mr. Andersen's car just went in. If you know him, why didn't you ride with him? I'm sorry. You can't enter." The guard blocked her path.

Frustrated, Kendra raised her voice. "Open your eyes, I'm Magnus' wife!"

The guard was taken aback. "How can you possibly be Mr. Magnus' wife? His wife is at home. We've all seen her."

Speechless, Kendra watched as Magnus' car parked by a house. A girl, clearly Natalia, rushed over with a wheelchair and helped Magnus onto it. Magnus, seated on the wheelchair, held Natalia's hand and they shared a loving laugh. Kendra was frozen, as if a sharp, invisible knife was rending her heart.

Natalia was such a bitch. The moment she got married, she started to seduce Magnus. Look how happy she was living the life that was supposed to be her, Kendra’s!

Magnus' tenderness towards Natalia made Kendra's eyes glint with a dangerous glimmer. This was Kendra's man, and she'd make sure Natalia knew it. With that, she left Maplewood Manor and took a taxi back to the Clarkson residence.

Meanwhile, Magnus returned home and Natalia had already prepared dinner. "You must be hungry. Let's eat, and afterwards I can massage your legs," she said.

Magnus, looking up at her, chuckled. "My dear, I could get used to this. Promise me that you won't leave, no matter what happens. Okay?"

Natalia looked at his smiling, handsome face. "Magnus, I promise that until you can stand up again, I will not leave you."

Magnus' face turned grave. "So, if I can stand again, you'll leave?"
