The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 115

If it weren't for the more pressing matters at hand, Kendra would have definitely stormed over and

given the shameless jerk a good slap.

"Lucius, you're truly despicable," she thought to herself. "You're worthless, and yet you expect me to

play your games. What a waste of time it was investing in you!"

Despite her internal monologue of disgust, Kendra maintained an innocent façade. Her hands clenched

into fists, as she struggled to keep her anger at bay. With tears streaming down her face, she pleaded,

"Lucius, can't you trust me? Didn't you once say that I was your greatest love? I only got close to Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Magnus to help you..."

"Help me?" She was still playing the victim card at this point, and Lucius had had enough. Interrupting

her with a stern frown, he said, "Stop your acting, Kendra. I see you for what you truly are now! You

fancy Magnus, that good-for-nothing, don't you? He's offering you something, isn’t he? I tell you what.

You are not gonna go back to me. I’m done with you." His eyes were ablaze with anger. There was no

way he'd ever trust her again.

Lucius had anticipated a day would come when Kendra would come crawling back to him. He just

hadn't expected it to happen so soon. Seemed like Magnus, the good-for-nothing, wasn't as appealing

to Kendra as she made it out to be. Just one month later, and she was back in his arms.

Lucius' words were becoming increasingly harsh, practically driving Kendra mad. So, without saying a

word, she stood her ground in front of him. She reached into her bag and pulled out a pocket knife.

"What do you think you're doing?" Lucius was taken aback by Kendra's sudden move.

His previous bravado vanished, replaced by a sudden unease. Not because he was scared she'd kill

him, but because he didn't want her causing any trouble in his apartment.

Seeing Lucius' reaction, Kendra couldn't help but smirk internally. However, on the outside, she

maintained her heartbroken guise. "I know you won't believe anything I say now. But I'm just a fragile

woman, and what could I possibly have done? I've been with you for so many years, how could I

possibly like Magnus?

"I know that trying to please Magnus must have made you despise me. But you must have known... the

day you went to the Andersen Corporation... you were jealous, weren't you, Lucius? That's when I

realized you still cared for me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so upset...

"But it's too late now. You don't believe I have feelings for you anymore, and that's okay, since none of

you care about how I feel anymore.

"I'll just disappear from this world. That'll make all of you happy!"

With that, Kendra, seemingly overcome by emotion, placed the blade to her neck, ready to make the

cut. She had planned this all along, knowing that Lucius wouldn't easily fall for her act. Without

resorting to drastic measures, there was no way she could deceive him.

"Have you lost your mind?" Lucius, who had initially thought Kendra intended to stab him, was shocked

to see her attempting to take her own life. Almost reflexively, he pulled Kendra into his arms, knife, and

all.

Kendra, who knew all along that Lucius wouldn't let her die, let out a triumphant chuckle before

resorting to her pitiful crying act again. "Lucius, why did you stop me? It would have been all over if you

had just let me die. I've been despised and pressured, so what's the point of living? Magnus disgusts

me, he wants a divorce, and he's just trying to humiliate you, Lucius, don't you see?"

The more she said, the more heart-wrenching her cries became. She even pulled down her dress in

front of Lucius to reveal a scar on her chest. A faint red scar was visible on her chest.

"He almost killed me, Lucius. If it weren't for my luck, I'd be dead by now. How could I ever want to be

with a terrifying, demonic man like that? But even you don't trust me, I..."

Initially, Lucius didn't believe a word Kendra said. But seeing her with the knife, and then the scar on

her chest, he couldn't help but waver. He watched Kendra sobbing in front of him, and a part of him felt

pity for her. Eventually, Lucius gave in. Through gritted teeth, he promised, "I'll return the pain he

caused you tenfold. I'll avenge you!"

Whether it was arrogance on Lucius' part, or Kendra's excellent acting skills, the two who were at odds

managed to reconcile. Even Magnus and his three colleagues, who were watching the ordeal through a

video chat, were shocked.

James gasped in disbelief. "My god, Magnus, you were right! Lucius and Kendra are back together!

Our guys already got the footage, and it's quite scandalous."

Chase, unimpressed by James' surprise, rolled his eyes. "They're two of a kind. It's not surprising they

got back together."

Carter, deeply engrossed in his own thoughts, didn't say a word.

Magnus, however, who had predicted how things would unfold, was uninterested. He merely glanced at

them and said, "Don't get too worked up about this. Just do your jobs well, and we'll have a good show

soon."

With that, Magnus ended the video call. He was in no rush. He was just waiting for Kendra to stir the

pot.

"What's tickling your funny bone, anything good?" Natalia asked gently, bringing a bowl of chicken soup

from the kitchen to Magnus. Seeing him seated there with a grin spreading across his face, she

couldn't help but inquire.

Their bond had deepened significantly since their last escapade at the villa, a crisis that had brought

them closer together.

Magnus was not yet divorced from Kendra, and Natalia found herself struggling with the morality of

their relationship. Yet, the joy she felt when she was with Magnus was undeniable. She had never felt

such tranquility before.

Magnus naturally pulled her into his lap."I was just thinking about someone adorable, hence my good

mood," he responded, his smile never wavering.

"Someone adorable? Who could that be?" Natalia asked, accustomed to his embrace as much as he

was accustomed to holding her.
