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 ss 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 muscr back, and then to the tub,


    causing a ssh. There was a wet wheelchair nearby.


    The moment she opened the door, the man looked up sharply His dark eyes shed a de like chill.


    He red 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 ss 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”


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


    stared nkly 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 theynded between the man’s legs.


    Seeing her fall, Magnus tried to push her away but didn’t expect her hands tond 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 reced 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,e 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 yed 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 ss of milk and started eating.

    After breakfast, Natalia walked out of the vi, 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, prating eyes kept firm gaze on her silhouette.
