The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 50

Once Magnus’ leg healed, he was the center of attention. Natalia was just a speck of dust, insignificant enough to act as a substitute.

She had nothing to say, so she simply nodded. "All right, I'll massage your legs for a bit. Are you going out for dinner tonight?"

"Yep, I'm eating out. Trust me, darling." He gently tapped her forehead and rolled away in his wheelchair. Linden immediately came out to open the mansion's grand doors, pushing the wheelchair out.

Natalia watched the departing car, standing dumbfounded at the doorway. He had come back to tell her that he wouldn't be home for dinner, but he could've just called. Why did he have to come back just to leave again?

Natalia turned to walk back into the mansion. May had already prepared dinner. "Madam, dinner is ready. You may dine now."

"Okay."

At the Clarkson mansion, Kendra pushed open the grand doors to see Kyler and Addison sitting on the couch watching TV. She immediately walked over, tears welling up in her eyes. "Mom, Dad, I want my marriage back. Please send Natalia away, I don't want her to replace me anymore."

Kyler looked at his daughter in shock. "Nonsense! You think it's a game? You refused to get married, had your sister replace you, and now you want her to leave after she's married? What kind of daughter are you?"

"Dad, I thought Lucius would be the CEO of Andersen Corporation. I didn't expect Magnus to come back and take the position. How can I marry Lucius now? I'm meant to be a CEO's wife!"

Kendra started crying, and Addison pulled her close. "Don't cry, Kendra. Lucius may not be the CEO, but he's the vice president. Marrying him would still bring you endless wealth and honor. As for Magnus, he may be the CEO, but he's disabled. How can he be better?"

"No, Mom, he may be disabled, but I'm the one married to him. I'm his wife under the law, and now my husband is busy with Natalia. I can't stand this!"

Kendra shouted out.

Kyler and Addison stared at her in disbelief; they couldn't believe these were the words of the daughter they had cherished for over twenty years.

"Kendra, you were the one that made Natalia marry Mr. Magnus in your place, and now you're saying this? Morgan is already furious, and he's only letting us off the hook because of Mr. Magnus. How long are you going to keep this up? You think Morgan is playing house with you? You're being unreasonable!" Kyler pointed at Kendra, yelling in anger.

"Dad, I'm not messing around, I regret it. I shouldn't have let Natalia replace me. I'm legally married to Magnus. If I marry him, Mr. Morgan won't be angry, because he initially wanted me to marry Magnus. Right?"

She recalled Magnus' tender smile towards Natalia, and she was filled with jealousy. Why should her man be nice to Natalia?

Just as Kyler was about to say something, his phone rang. It was a call from Magnus.

He quickly answered, "Hello, Mr. Andersen."

Magnus paused. "Mr. Clarkson, you can call me Magnus. After all, Natalia and I are married. I need you to do something for me right away."

"Okay, just say the word, Mr. Magnus."

"I want Kendra to bring her identification documents to the civil affairs bureau first thing tomorrow morning to process the divorce. I trust this is something you can handle." He stated directly, leaving Kyler stunned.

"This..."

"What? Isn't this what you've been scheming to achieve? If it wasn't for your disdain of me being disabled, you wouldn't have had your younger daughter marry me in the first place. Once your younger daughter got married, why did you use your older daughter's ID to register our marriage? Mr. Clarkson, do you want me to marry both of them? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this is a law-abiding society. I can only have one wife and right now, Natalia is my woman. I'd appreciate it if you could quickly sort out this matter with your older daughter. You might not know this about me, but I like to resolve things quickly. I don't like dragging things out. The sooner, the better!"

His words left Kyler's face flushed. It may not have sounded like much, but it was a jab at the Clarkson family's attempts to curry favor with the Andersen family. It suggested that they were so desperate that they'd be willing to marry off both their daughters to him.
