The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 271

Kyler set down his coffee mug and walked over to take little Jonas from Addison. "Whose kid is this?" He asked.

Addison rolled her eyes, massaging her aching shoulders. "Who else’s could it be, if not that hussy Natalia?"

"Natalia's kid?" Kyler was puzzled. "When did she have a kid this big?"

He remembered Natalia being pregnant five years ago, but he'd heard the baby had died shortly after birth.

Addison glared at Kyler. "I said it's her and Magnus' kid. This is the kid everyone thought died five years ago. Magnus has been hiding him!"

She grimaced. "That woman made our daughter's life a living hell, and now she's living happily. She even has a grown kid. I swear, I won't let her live comfortably!"

Kyler laid the still unconscious Jonas on the large leather sofa, asking doubtfully, "What do you plan to do? How did you get her kid? Kidnapping is illegal, you know!"

Addison gritted her teeth. "Illegal? I'm not afraid to die to avenge my daughter. Unlike you, who’s always moping around."

Kyler was taken aback by Addison's harsh words but didn't say anything else.

"Damn Natalia, I'll make sure you pay a heavy price! It's because of you that my daughter's life is ruined," Addison yelled hysterically, her eyes cold as she looked at Jonas on the sofa.

Kyler was stunned. He felt Addison was losing her mind just like Kendra had. "So what's the plan? Even though Kendra was now like this because of Natalia, it was Magnus who did it. The kid is innocent. We can't harm a child."

"If you hadn't brought Natalia home all those years ago, she wouldn’t have ruined Kendra’s life!" Addison shot Kyler a venomous look before dialing Natalia.

She'd paid a hefty sum to a private investigator to get this number, preparing herself to take Natalia down.

Natalia was frantically driving after Addison. She was certain Addison had taken Jonas to her house. She just didn't know what the unhinged Addison would do to Jonas. She prayed Addison wouldn't harm him!

As she was praying, her phone rang. It was a familiar number she had not saved in her contacts.

Who could be calling her? Natalia thought for a moment, and then it hit her, Addison! She quickly answered the call. As expected, it was Addison's voice. "Natalia, your son is with me."

"Mrs. Clarkson, have you lost your mind? You've kidnapped my son. What do you want?" Natalia's heart pounded as she tried to keep her voice steady.

"Ha-ha!" Addison's laughter echoed through the phone. "Natalia, are you scared now? Scared that I might kill your son?"

Natalia was horrified. "Addison, whatever your grudge is, take it out on me. Don't hurt my son!" This insane woman, if she dared to hurt Jonas, Natalia would make her pay!

"What, can't bear to do it?" Addison sneered. "I knew it, you can't bear to mar your pretty little face! It's that seductive face of yours that had Magnus head over heels, and do the unforgivable to my daughter! Today, you either scar that face, or I'll do it for you!"

With that, Addison tossed the kitchen knife at Natalia's feet. "Your beauty, or your son. You choose."

The sharp knife clattered on the floor, catching the light ominously. Natalia coolly met Addison's gaze.

This woman had gone mad.

Natalia glanced back at Kyler, standing by the French windows. The man who had raised her for fifteen years was pretending he saw nothing.

Five years. Was it time that had forgotten the human heart, or was it the human heart that was naturally cruel?

"Dad," her voice was icy as she addressed Kyler, "are you really going to let your wife harm a child like this?"

Slowly, Kyler turned around, his expression serious. "Addison, let the child go," he ordered sternly.

Addison was taken aback, then exploded. "Kyler, have you seen what's become of our daughter? And you're still siding with this child who was born out of wedlock! Are you out of your mind?"
