Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 120

Private Hospital.

Magnus lay back against the pillows, flipping through a book titled “100 Ways to Win Her Back.”

Frankly, the advice inside left him dumbfounded. Some of the suggestions were so outlandish, they completely overturned everything he thought he knew about relationships. His brow twitched with every page.

Halfway through, Magnus couldn’t take it anymore. He tossed the book onto the bed in exasperation.

What kind of man begs for forgiveness one minute, collapses in tears the next, and even threatens to hurt himself just to win a woman back? Was this insanity?

The very idea of humiliating himself like that made Magnus’s skin crawl.

Just then, his phone buzzed—a message from Elise.

He unlocked the screen, and the first thing he saw was a blurry photo: Isadora’s hand held tightly by another man. The picture was shaky, the man’s broad back turned to the camera, Isadora’s face hidden as she looked down.

But Magnus recognized her instantly.

Beneath the photo, Elise had written one line:

“Magnus, Isadora’s cheating on you!”

Magnus’s brow knotted instantly, his face darkening with a thunderous rage. He stared at the stranger’s hand gripping Isadora’s, and for a wild moment, he wished he could reach into the photo and tear them apart.

Isadora.

She’d been talking about breaking up all this time—so this was the real reason? She’d already found someone else? Yet she’d had the nerve to shift the blame onto him.

A wildfire of fury raged in Magnus’s chest. He couldn’t tell if it was anger, hurt, or fear—only that these emotions were tearing through him like wild animals, leaving him shaken.

He didn’t even notice that his knuckles had turned white from gripping his phone so tightly, his hand trembling.

After Elise was escorted out by security, the Sky Dining restaurant quickly returned to a calm, orderly atmosphere under the restaurant manager’s watchful eye.

Victor didn’t sit across from Isadora, as business etiquette might dictate, but instead took the seat right beside her.
