The Imposter Bride

Chapter 268

Listening to Callum’s words, Lexi felt a wave of sadness washing over her Yeah, he had imprisoned her merely to keep her quiet. He didn’t care about her well being

if she died, it would be just what he wanted Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

But was death the only escape from this dreadful room?

“Please let me go. I’m on the verge of a mental breakdown Les begoed fears streaming down her face Although you provide me with gourmet meats and designer clothes, all I crave is freedom. Please let me go What happened that night it was a mistake Lowest, I’ll never tell anyone I promise?”

Despite Lexi’s pleading Callum was determined not to let her leave. He coldly looked at Leo Tm sorry, but I can’t trust you Human hearts am unpredictatte Who knows how you might change in the future?:

With that Callum turned and walked slowly towards the door. In here. I can provide you with everything you want, anything you want to eat wear or

But Callum hadn’t taken two steps before he heard Rita gasp. “Oh my God

Callum turned around to see Lex with a knife in her hand a deep cut on her wrist, and blood pooling on the floor

“Call the doctor Callum panicked He had thought Lexi was just being dramatic, he didn’t think that this gentle girl would be so rash

Rita nodded and bolted for the door, almost colliding with the doorframe

Callum moved towards Lex, extending his hand, trying to soothe her “Give me the knife, sweetheart”

Lex: shook her head her face twisted in a bitter smile. “No If my body can’t be free, at least let my soul be*

As Lex moved to cut herself again, seeing the fresh blood pooling around her wrist, Callum felt a sharp pain in his heart. He quickly promised, “Stop, don’t do this (ca. 1 promise

Lexis mind was on the brink of collapse. She stared at Callum “You would really let me go?”

“Yes, I swear I won’t keep you here anymore Callum promised slowly moving closer to Lexi

Lex didn’t notice Callums approach. She looked out the window Her eyes were filled with longing for freedom. In that fleeting moment of distraction, Callum seized the opportunity. He grabbed Lexi’s wrist disarming her and holding her firmly

She screamed in despair “Liar You never intended to let me go! Kill me! Kill me!”

Callum struck her neck, knocking her unconscious. The doctor arrived just in time to see Lexi collapse in Callum’s arms.

“Duke the lady has cut an artery Luckily, she didn’t hit a vein, or the consequences would have been dire

Callum looked down at the unconscious Lexi, guilt washing over him. “Treat het immediately, no matter the cost

Watching Lex lying on the bed lifeless, Callum felt remorse He had to reconsider how he should treat Lex

Perhaps he had made a mistake?

When Lex woke up, she felt a heavy pounding in her head Worse than her headache was the burning pain in her wrist. This agonizing pain had woken her up from her dee sleep She opened her eyes slowly, filled with despair. Not only was she imprisoned, but she couldn’t even die

Tears streamed down her face as she noticed a figure slumped beside her bed. She turned her head and saw Callum, his brow furrowed even in sleep

Despite everything Callum was undoubtedly handsome His deep–set features and sensual lips made him an ideal husband Given his high–profile stature, if it wasn’t for the absurd soap opera–like mishap that occurred between them, their paths probably would have never crossed in this lifetime

But alas they were never meant to be a happy ever after

This exceptional man mistook her for Natalia took advantage of her, and even restricted her freedom, all out of fear that she might spill the beans to the real Natalia.

On the irony

“You can’t have what you love”
