Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 77

Isadora’s eyes widened in shock.

“Dad, you promised me this before. How can you, as chairman of The Vaughan Group, go back on your word?”

Richard’s smile was all sly cunning.

“I did promise you, but I never said when I’d give it to you. Once you’re married, of course you’ll have it.”

He waved her off, the conversation over. “Now go on—go try on your wedding dress. Remember to take some photos so your mother and I can see how beautiful you look. I heard Magnus even found the world’s top wedding designer for the ceremony.”

In the end, Isadora was ushered out by Magnus.

They made their way down to the underground parking garage.

Magnus glanced at her expression, clearly amused. “Isadora, I never realized you cared so much about The Vaughan Group.”

He leaned in, lowering his voice conspiratorially. “If it means that much to you, after we’re married I’ll give you five percent of Wainwright Holdings. That’s worth far more than thirty percent of The Vaughan Group. So just be a good Mrs. Wainwright, alright?”

Isadora rolled her eyes dramatically, dismissing his words as pure nonsense.

“Magnus, why is it so hard for you to understand plain English? Do you really think I was joking when I said I wanted to break up? Because I wasn’t.”

Her cheeks were flushed, anger brightening her features.

Magnus looked at her, captivated by the way her eyes sparkled—even when she was mad, there was something magnetic about her. She was breathtaking, the kind of beauty that left people stunned. One look into those deep, dark eyes and he could feel himself getting swept away, like she was some kind of dangerous, otherworldly enchantress.

“I never thought you were joking,” Magnus said quietly. “Let me make it up to you, Isadora. This wedding, the dress—let it be proof that I mean it this time.”

Isadora drew a steadying breath.

She knew Magnus—his arrogance, his confidence. He’d always hurt her with such careless certainty, convinced she’d never walk away.

“Magnus, I don’t love you anymore.”

I don’t love you.
