The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 110

She raised her hand, looping her arms around Magnus' neck. It was her first time initiating a hug with Magnus, then tentatively she pressed her lips onto his.

Magnus jolted, taking initiative, reciprocating her kiss with a deep passion.

After Magnus' confession, the two enjoyed a sweet kiss in their bedroom. They were wrapped in each other's arms, each possessing the other.

...

Kendra, who came back from Andersen Corporation looking disheveled and bruised, gave Addison a big shock. She widened her eyes, looking at Kendra in disbelief. "Kendra, what happened to you? How did you end up like this? Who did this to you? Was it Magnus?"

Kendra, who was so tormented that she barely looked human, didn't answer Addison's question when she came in. She stumbled onto the sofa and burst into tears.

"Honey, stop crying and tell Mom what happened?" Seeing Kendra in such a mess, Addison knew she must have been bullied.

Kyler wasn't home yet, which made Addison furious. She cursed in her heart, “Damn Kyler, such a coward. His daughter is in this state, and yet where the hell is he?”

No matter how much Addison asked, Kendra, who was crying uncontrollably, didn’t answer her. This drove Addison to the edge, making her feel completely at a loss.

As Kendra refused to speak, an impatient Addison stood up and declared, “Fine, if you won’t speak, I’ll go to Andersen Corporation and demand answers from Magnus. If he doesn’t give me an explanation today, this won’t be over!”

The Andersen family might’ve been powerful, but so what? Even if she couldn't stand up to them, she would still bite a piece off of them! Her family wasn't one to mess with!

"Mom, don't go. We can't fight them." Kendra stretched out her hand, grabbing Addison who was about to stand up.

Addison, as a mother couldn't bear to see her daughter’s humilation. She couldn't help yelling, "Even if we can't win, we have to fight! Who the hell is Magnus? Why is he bullying my daughter?"

Kendra was called to Andersen Corporation by Magnus, so now that something happened to Kendra, Addison naturally thought that Magnus was to blame.

Kendra, who was already upset, couldn't hold back her tears when she heard Addison's words. She cried out, "It's not Magnus, it's that bastard Lucius! He raped me!"

Then she looked at Addison with resentment. "If it were Magnus who had done this to me, I wouldn't feel so humiliated! But he can't even look at me without feeling disgusted!"

She used to pester Lucius all the time and even gave away her virginity to him. Part of the reason she did that was because he was the sole heir to the entire Andersen Corporation, and she did like him.

But he failed, and he was a loser. After witnessing his true colors, she realized she had been blind to have fallen in love with this devil! What right did such a loser and devil have to have her?

A tear-streaked Kendra once again managed to compose herself. Her words were choked with emotion. "Mom, I need to handle this myself. Lucius had the audacity to manipulate me! I'll make him pay for what he's done today!"

A flicker of vengeance flared in Kendra's eyes. If word got out about today, Magnus would have been a tad displeased with her, but she was the victim here. Surely Magnus wouldn't hold it against her.

As long as Kendra followed Magnus' instruction and got what he wanted, he would certainly stick to his word and not divorce her. With that in mind, Kendra was resolute. No matter what, she had to find a way to ensnare Lucius!

...

Magnus' wounds had fully healed after a period of rest.

Compared to his previous hectic days at the corporation, he seemed to have a lot more downtime lately. He spent most of it with Natalia at their home, Maplewood Manor.

Most of the time, Magnus and Natalia would sit on the balcony, talking and watching the sunrise and sunset together.

Natalia always brought a chair, but most of the time, Magnus would pull her towards him and she would find herself sitting on Magnus' lap. Each time this happened, Natalia would blush uncontrollably. Her face was so red she hardly dared to look at Magnus.

"My dear, am I that scary?" Magnus teased, whispering in her ear as he saw her reaction. "Why do you always shy away when I hold you?"
