The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 7



Chapter 7

The sound of running water caught Natalia's attention. Could there be a bathroom in there?

What a peculiar man, she thought, to have a bathroom inside his study. She was here to look after him,

so she walked over and pulled open the glass door.

Sure enough, it was a bathroom. Natalia looked up to see steam filling the space. Through the misty

heat, she saw a man sitting in the bathtub, his head under a shower of hot water. Countless droplets

fell from his dark hair, running down his broad shoulders, onto his muscular back, and then to the tub,

causing a splash. There was a wet wheelchair nearby.

The moment she opened the door, the man looked up sharply. His dark eyes flashed a blade-like chill.

He glared at the stunned Natalia standing at the door. "Who let you in? Get out!" His voice was deep

and icy, filled with anger and arrogance.

Natalia lifted her eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly. "Well... they sent me in to take care of you," she

said, preparing to turn off the shower.

"Get out!" The icy voice echoed once again in the steam-filled bathroom, full of rage and on the brink of

explosion.

Under his fierce anger, Natalia had no choice but to leave the bathroom and close the door.

The man in the tub leaped up, quickly grabbed a bathrobe and jumped onto the wheelchair. The whole

process took less than five seconds.

Just as Natalia heard the sound of the man getting up, the glass door was already being opened. A

man, neatly dressed in a bathrobe, sat in the wheelchair. In just three seconds, he had rolled up to her.

His hand fiercely gripped her throat, and his enraged expression was like that of a devil ready to tear

her apart.

Natalia stared in horror at the ferocious man. She gripped his iron-like hand tightly. “Don’t… they sent

me in to take care of you." NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Magnus glared at the girl, her face was turning red, and her breath was growing weaker. Her blue eyes

stared blankly at him, followed by two tears rolling down.

Magnus' eyes darkened, and he slowly released his grip. His wheelchair was tall, and Natalia, standing

next to him, was only slightly taller.

The moment her neck was freed, she began to cough violently. Because she coughed too hard, she

fell. Stumbling, she fell into Magnus' arms. After having been choked, she had no strength. As she fell,

she instinctively put her hands out, and they landed between the man's legs.

Seeing her fall, Magnus tried to push her away but didn't expect her hands to land where they did. He

took in a sharp breath, and his brows furrowed tightly. "Three seconds. Disappear!"

Feeling the heat where her hands were, Natalia realized something was wrong and quickly withdrew

them. Instead, she propped herself up on his thighs. The heat and hardness of his thighs made her feel

a thumping sensation in her palMa'am, frightened, used all her strength to push herself up.

"This... isn't my fault, who asked you to choke me!" She quickly stood up, looking into the man's dark

eyes, which held a hint of murderous intent.

Then, the man gripped her chin. "What? Are you already longing for a man? You can't wait, even

though you've just been married? Huh?"

Their faces were close, and their breaths were intermingling. Natalia suddenly noticed the man's ears

turning pink. The anger in his eyes was replaced by embarrassment and restraint. He pushed the girl

away. "Don't try any tricks with me! Get out!" He then rolled away in his wheelchair.

Natalia touched her neck and quickly left the study. This man was too dangerous! Could he have

known that she wasn't her sister? That must’ve been why he was so cold to her.

Didn't he snatch her sister from his brother? He should have liked her sister, but why did he look at her

with such hatred? If he knew she was a substitute, would he have been more aggressive? He might

even kill her!

Magnus rolled away to his bedroom, locking the door behind him. He got up and sat on the bed. Damn

girl, touching him there.

The moment her small hands touched him, he reacted. Fuck, he had a reaction to Lucius' woman. The

thought of her being with Lucius made him feel disgusted. He only married her to humiliate her, and to

make Lucius suffer.

His eyes glowed in the darkness.

Natalia left the study and went to her bedroom. She locked the door and tried to calm her racing heart.

What should she do? If he knew she was a substitute, would he kill her?

She closed her eyes and fell onto the bed in despair. She fell asleep, and when she woke up, it was

already daylight. She heard a knock on the door and got up to answer it.

May looked at Natalia, still in yesterday's clothes, in shock. "Ma'am, didn't you sleep?"

"I did," Natalia replied.

"Then, Ma'am, come and have breakfast," May said, giving her a puzzled look.

Natalia opened the wardrobe, picked a set of clothes, and went into the bathroom to freshen up. Once

she was ready, she went downstairs to see Magnus, elegantly having breakfast at the dining table.

She walked over quietly and sat opposite him. "Morning." Looking at his emotionless face, she always

felt fear creeping into her heart.

"Sit down and eat," Magnus said, as if yesterday's incident never happened.

"Well, Mag... I mean, Mr. Magnus, after breakfast... can I do something?" She couldn’t just eat and

sleep all day. Since she couldn’t go to school anymore, she had to do something while staying here.

The man remained emotionless, wiping his mouth with a napkin. A mocking smile played on his lips.

"What do you want to do? Don't forget you're now Mrs. Natalia. All you need to do is stay put and

behave!"

Just one day here, and she couldn’t stand it. She was thinking about leaving, pretending to be busy. He

was curious about how long she could endure.

After saying this, Magnus quickly rolled away, leaving Natalia to stare at his retreating figure.

Alright, she wouldn't argue with a disabled man. She could understand his temperament. She picked

up her glass of milk and started eating.

After breakfast, Natalia walked out of the villa, staring at the endless sea. The air was fresh. She

walked out and sat on the rocks by the sea. She silently watched the sea, wondering if Lexi and

Sabrina were looking for her. And Hector… She didn't dare to tell them when she left school.

If they knew she was married, they would probably chew her out.

“Hector, I apologize. It's not that I intended to let you down, it's just that I can't control where my life

takes me. If there's a girl out there who's right for you, I genuinely wish you happiness.” She thought to

herself.

She sat motionless on the jagged cliffside for an hour. Through the window of the second-story

mansion, a pair of icy, penetrating eyes kept a firm gaze on her silhouette.
