The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 47

Natalia quickly stood up and her cheeks flushed. "Well, I'll let you get back to work. I'm going to bed."

She found herself forgetting the world around her every time she sat on his lap.

There was something captivating about this man. Even if he was wheelchair-bound, his charm was

irresistible, as long as he wasn't throwing a fit.

She walked into the bedroom, grabbed her nightgown, and closed the bathroom door behind her.

By the time Magnus finished his work, it was already eleven o'clock. He received an unexpected call

from Morgan.

"Magnus, why don't you bring your wife to the Andersen Family Estate? Since you're interested in her, I

won't object. It's up to you." Morgan's voice was still calm and gentle over the phone.

"Thanks, Grandpa. We'll be staying at Maplewood Manor. It's closer to the office. You should get some

rest. It's late." Magnus replied, his voice soft.

Morgan nodded and ended the call. He sat by the window, gazing into the endless night. He was

entrusting his company to Magnus, hoping he could overcome his difficulties and stand on his own two

feet one day.

Three days later, Magnus took Natalia to their new home in Maplewood Manor. The staff, except for

their Butler Linden and housemaid May, stayed on Sapphire Island to look after the properties there.

Maplewood Manor was a house that Magnus' friend Chase had bought for him three years ago. It was

fully furnished and was meant to be Magnus’ place in Melfort, a city closer to his company.

Despite this, Magnus had chosen to stay on Sapphire Island. Now, he was finally moving to Melfort.

The house was only a five-minute drive from the office.

As Linden drove into Maplewood Manor, a guard saluted. The window rolled down, and a security

officer approached. "Mr. Magnus, welcome back to Maplewood Manor."

Magnus nodded, and the car slowly came to a stop in front of a two-story villa. The property was quite

large, with a vast yard and two luxury cars parked on the lawn.

Natalia stepped out of the car, set up Magnus' wheelchair, and helped him into it. Linden followed with

the luggage, and May was close behind. It felt like they were a typical family, with Magnus as the father,

Natalia as the mother, and May as the child.

In response to Natalia's giggles, Magnus grabbed her hand. "What are you laughing at, darling? Do

you like it here?"

Natalia pushed his wheelchair through the front gate. "I was just thinking, we look like a typical family

out for a stroll."

His handsome face suddenly darkened at her words. He had a wife, yes, but not a child. Looking at his

laughing wife, he lifted a hand to cup her chin. "I only have you, darling. As for children, we'll have to

wait for you to give birth."

Natalia stopped laughing, and a blush crept up her face. She quickly changed the subject and began to

take in her new surroundings.

The interior of the house was lavishly furnished, giving off a warm and inviting vibe, unlike the austere

black decor of Sapphire Island. There was a large living room with a sofa that could easily serve as a

bed. The kitchen was filled with brand new appliances, and every floor was accessible by elevator,

considering Magnus' condition.

Magnus sat on the sofa, watching Natalia as she observed their new home. He patted the spot next to

him. "Come, sit here."

Natalia walked over and looked at him.

"My love, this will be our home from now on. Do you like it?"

"I do." As long as she had a roof over her head, she was content.

"Good. Once I've sorted things out at the office, we'll get you enrolled in school."

Natalia was taken aback. "So soon?"

"What, you don't want to go to school?" He leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"No... I do," she stammered, surprised that he was actually considering her education.

"Good. Finish your studies, and if you want to learn something else afterward, just tell me. My wife can

do whatever she wants," he said as his dark eyes were fixed on Natalia.

In that moment, the sun streamed through the front door, illuminating Magnus' handsome face. Natalia

found herself captivated by his gentleness, and his words echoed in her mind. "My wife can do

whatever she wants."

She snapped out of her trance, standing up and lightly patting his shoulder. "I'm going to check out the

bedrooms upstairs and unpack."

"Alright, go ahead." Magnus nodded. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The second floor had three rooms - a master bedroom, a guest room, and a study. The study led to a

rooftop pool, filled with crystal clear water. The bedrooms were decorated in warm tones, with sky-blue

bedspreads.

After unpacking and organizing her clothes, Natalia returned downstairs to find Magnus on a call. He

was frowning. His handsome face was growing colder as the conversation went on.

After lunch, Magnus left for the office, leaving Natalia alone in their new home.

Meanwhile, in another villa in Melfort, Lucius kicked a table over in anger. He glared at the wall, and his

hands clenched into fists. Blood dripped from his knuckles as he muttered, "Magnus, I won't let you

have everything. The CEO position is mine. Let's see how long you can hold on to it."

The house staff cowered in fear, hiding in the corners of the room.

The front door opened, and Kendra walked in. She looked around at the mess and slowly approached

Lucius. "Lucius, what's wrong?"

She had known about Magnus taking over as CEO of Andersen Corporation. When she saw his

pictures on various Melfort magazines, she was speechless. The man in the pictures was even more

striking than Lucius. Despite being in a wheelchair, his charisma was undeniable. His handsome face,

tinged with a hint of indifference, was enough to make any woman swoon.

Every photograph of him in his wheelchair was clearly appealing. It was possibly owing to his current

position as CEO of Andersen Corporation, holding the company's lifeline and being the apple of

Morgan's eye.

Her heart pounded as she looked at Magnus' photos. The thought of him being hers felt surreal. How

incredibly charming would he be if he could stand one day? Even if he couldn't, if he had to be

wheelchair-bound for life, he held supreme power and enormous wealth. Being married to him could

still be considered a blessing.

She suddenly found herself yearning for this man. The realization that they were legally wedded made

a mocking smile curl up at the corners of her mouth.

This man was bewitchingly charming, and at this very moment, Kendra was falling head over heels for

him!

Upon seeing Kendra walk in, Lucius was quick to grab her hand. "Kendra, you have nothing to worry

about. I won't let that cripple sit on that throne for long. That position is mine!"
