Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 43

After speaking, Isadora turned and ran off, tears streaming down her face.

She had to leave; if she stayed another moment, she’d break down right in front of them.

Isadora still remembered how her wrist was supposed to heal in a week, but after that collision, it was fractured and took two full months to mend.

In the end, it was Richard who took her to apologize to Magnus.

Back then, her love for Magnus was so all-consuming that she had no self-respect left—she’d humbled herself to the point of utter submission.

Even though Magnus’s distrust and accusations had left her heartbroken, what she feared most was that Magnus would get angry and abandon her.

So, when Richard offered to take her to Magnus to smooth things over, to give them both a way out, Isadora agreed without hesitation. Naively, she followed Richard, trailing behind him like a lost child.

Richard did most of the talking, apologizing on her behalf, painting her as the immature one, and asking Magnus to forgive her little outburst.

Magnus shot a glance at Isadora, who stood silently by the side.

His face betrayed nothing. “Come here,” he said.

At those words, Isadora’s eyes filled with tears again as she slowly walked over.

Magnus pulled her into his arms, his hand tight around her slender waist.

“From now on, behave yourself. No more tantrums. I don’t like women who get spoiled and arrogant, Isadora. I only feel responsible for Elise—it’s not what you think. Stop getting jealous and picking on her for no reason.”

Thinking back on all of this, Isadora felt like her past self must have been hit by a truck.

How could she have let love blind her so completely, convinced that Magnus was her cure—that she’d die if she ever left him?

Yet here she was, still alive, still standing in this world.

Isadora forced herself to shake off the memories.

Right now, her top priority was to find Victor and discuss the investment project.

She thought for a moment, then decided to call Nanette, a superstar whose connections spanned the entire entertainment industry.

Nanette had been her closest friend for years.
