The Imposter Bride

Chapter 232

Natalia knew Magnus was capable of anything! He had purposely asked her if she was game, gauging if she was willing to leave with him. If she refused, he’d threaten to bomb Callum’s castle

If a fight broke out because of her, the result would be catastrophic. The weapons at play weren’t just fists and kicks but large–scale destructive artillery that could cause irreparable harm. This was the castle that had been in Callum’s family for generations, filled with innocent people. She couldn’t possibly let Magnus wreak

havoc

So, after much deliberation, she resignedly sighed. “I’ll go with you, just put away those weapons.”

“Great! As you wish!”

“No way!”

Both Magnus and Callum spoke simultaneously. One face lit up with joy, while the other was etched with deep loss

“Natalia, you can’t go back with him. I don’t fear the fire from his Gatling guns, Callum protested, his face filled with panic as if terrified Natalia might go with Magnus

Natalia looked at Callum with sympathy “Cal, you’ve already done so much for me over the years, and I don’t want you to suffer anymore because of me

“How can you call it suffering? Callum shook his head desperately, afraid of losing Natalia. I’ve told you marly times that doing anything for you is my pleasure. how can you think this?”

“Cal, I’ve made up my mind. If he wants me to go with him. I will. Once he realizes I’ve completely given up on him, he won’t bother you anymore Tears brimmed in Natalia’s eyes She didn’t want to go with Magnus, but she wanted even less for Callum to be hurt by him.

“No way! I won’t allow it! Natalia, today’s supposed to be our engagement day. How can you, how can you just leave me like this?” Callum wailed, unwilling to accept Natalia’s impending departure.

In stark contrast to Callum’s devastation, Magnus was elated. As long as Natalia agreed to go with him, he was confident he could soon make her forgive him He pulled Natalia to his side, exclaiming joyously, “Darling, you’re really going back with me?”

Natalia gave Magnus a cold look and nodded. “Isn’t this what you wanted? I’ve agreed to go with you. Now you can withdraw your artillery, right?”

“Of course!” Magnus nodded enthusiastically, turning to James. “Did you hear that? Withdraw the Gatling guns, as the lady commands”

“Sure, sure, Natalia’s always right. Let’s move, James ordered his men to retreat, and the threatening Gatling guns were removed from Callum’s castle

Callum was furious and refused to let Natalia and Magnus leave. “No matter the cost, I want Ms. Clarkson to stay!” He shouted to his mercenaries, who obeyed his

command ruthlessly

Callum’s men listened to his order and prepared for battle, loading their mortars.

“No, Cal, please don’t do this. If a real fight breaks out, many innocent lives will be harmed,” Natalia pleaded

Callums eyes were bloodshot. “I don’t care about collateral damage! My fiancée is openly getting kidnapped on our engagement day. I’ll become a laughingstock How will I face others if I can’t keep you here?”

Natalia knew Callum was in pain, but she had to leave with Magnus in this situation. Violence wouldn’t solve anything

“Cal, trust me. I’ll be back. I promise Once I convince Magnus, I’ll return to you immediately. Please trust mel” She assured him, her eyes filled with resolve. She was determined to make Magnus understand that keeping someone by force couldn’t mend a broken heart

Natalia turned to Magnus. Her eyes were icy, as though she was looking at a stranger “Let’s go.”

“Good The plane will be here soon,” Magnus agreed

Plane? Natalia was taken aback Well, it seemed Magnus had prepared for everything. He had decided, whether she was willing or not, that he would take her away. Soon, the roar of an airplane engine filled the air as a small private jet began to descend

“Cal, take care. I’ll be back soon, Natalia thought, glancing at Callum one last time before being pulled onto the plane by Magnus.

As the plane ascended, Natalia watched Callum, who was still standing there watching the plane Tears welled up in her eyes.

Cal always put her first. She would forever be indebted to him for his kindness

On the plane, Magnus noticed Natalia ignoring him His handsome face darkened with anger. She still cared for that Englishman!

“You still care about him!” He growled, wishing he had killed Callum when he’d had the chance.

Natalia ignored him, focusing only on the clouds drifting by outside the window.

Magnus realized Natalia was giving him the silent treatment and knew she was still angry with him, but he didn’t mind. He was determined to win her over, no matter what it took

Regardless, he had scored a win today, successfully preventing her engagement to Callum. That was enough

Magnus looked at Natalia, clad in her pristine white wedding dress, and felt a potent urge to tear it to shreds. It was a thom in his eyes. Yet, he fought back the impulse, quietly taking in the sight of his beautiful woman before him

He didn’t voice any of these thoughts, though Natalia was still seething, and he didn’t want to add fuel to the fire. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

The rest of their journey was spent in tense quietude. Natalia’s gaze was frosty as she stared out the airplane window, and Magnus silently observed Natalia.
