The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 70

If Natalia were to leave Magnus, for Hector or any other man, Magnus would never allow it!

Magnus was always noted for his strength. Despite his seemingly crippled legs, he always managed to exhaust Natalia. So when Magnus finally growled in satisfaction, marking the end of their passionate sex, Natalia didn't have the energy left even to speak. She pretended to sleep, turning her head to the side, yet her mind was alert.

“Darlin'?” Magnus, having released his pent-up energy, was still annoyed with Natalia. Seeing her asleep with wet eyelashes and tear stains on her face, even in his anger, he couldn't find it in him to be harsh.

After getting off her, he called out to her, hoping to clear up the issues if she was still awake. He made it clear that he wouldn't let her leave. He seemed to really like Natalia, a feeling he'd never had for any other woman before. So even if Natalia hated him, her leaving was not an option!

Natalia heard Magnus calling her, but she chose to ignore him. She coiled up under the blanket, keeping her mouth shut.

“Ah…” Magnus, knowing Natalia was awake but choosing to ignore him, exhaled a sigh. He then moved to his wheelchair, lifted the blanket, and picked up Natalia, who was still unclothed, and took her to the bathroom. He filled the bathtub with water, first putting Natalia in, then supported his own body into the tub.

After they were both clean, Magnus held Natalia and returned to the master bed, where he fell into a deep sleep with her in his arms.

Natalia, who had been exhausted, had long fallen asleep.

The next day, Natalia was awoken by a strong ray of sunlight piercing through the opened curtains and landing on her face.

“Whoosh!” As Natalia was shielding her eyes from the light, the curtains were abruptly drawn. Soon, the sound of a wheelchair moving was heard, and it stopped by her bed.

Then came the gentle voice of Magnus. “Wake up. You've slept a long time.”

Magnus hadn't planned to wake Natalia so early, knowing how tired she was. But then he remembered how she challenged him last night, saying she wouldn't marry him.

Though his anger had subsided after the release, there was still a rock weighing on his chest, he needed to clear things up with her.
