With a nonchnt air, Kendra tossed her secretly recorded video to the operations manager Without an
ounce of shame, she began to y the video Suddenly, the small room was filled with intimate sounds
of a man and a woman. The passionate scenes left the manager blushing
if his eyes weren’t deceiving him, the woman in the video was the same morousdy standing in
front of him, right?
They were private investigators, though, and they’d seen it all So after an initial blush, he coolly asked
Kendra. “Whose face do you want us to swap in?”
Kendra tossed a photo of Magnus onto the table, and arrogantly ordered “Him. And make sure it’s
wless I don’t want anyone to suspect it’s been edited.”
The manager examined the photo, shocked. He hesitated “Miss, are you sure about this?” The man in
the photo was none other than the newly appointed CEO of Andersen Corporation His face had been
stered across every major newspaper Anyone living in Melfort would recognize him Furthermore,
Andersen was known for his ruthless business tactics. He showed no mercy to those who dared to
challenge him
Considering his own livelihood in Melfort, the operations manager promptly refused Kendra’s request
Tm sorry, Miss We can’t take this job”
“Why not?” Kendra was perplexed “You’re turning down money? Are you out of your mind?”
The operations manager chuckled politely it’s because we’re not out of our minds If we cross Mr.
Andersen because of this, we might lose everything
in Melfort
Kendra immediately understood. The man in charge was aware of Magnus influence and was afraid of
incurring his wrath She considered finding a different agency but quickly abandoned the idea if
everyone was afraid of Magnus, then it wouldn’t matter how many agencies she approached The
result would be the same
“Rx, I’m an old friend of Mr. Andersen, Kendra reassured him. This video is just a prank. If anything
happens, I’ll take full responsibility and I won’t mention your involvement Name your price, as long as
the video is to my satisfaction”
Kendra’s words caused the operations manager to reconsider After all, money was their primary
motivation. If they could earn a hefty sum without any risk, why would they refuse?
“Deal!”
With that, he copied the video onto hisputer and got to work. His fingers flew over the keyboard as
he swiftly edited the video ording to Kendras
instructions
When Kendra saw the final product, she was more than satisfied. The edited video was so well done
that even she couldn’t tell it was doctored. She almost believed she’d had a passionate night with
Magnus.
Natalia, get ready for the surprise I have in store for you!”

Natalia leaned against the balcony. Her eyes nkly stared at the seemingly endless sea. Her heart
was in turmoil, and she couldn’t find peace. The setting sun painted half the sea red, casting a

Natalia lowered her gaze to her swollen belly quietly feeling the life growing within her
“Baby, in just a couple of months you’ll be here i cant wait to see if you look more like Mommy or
Daddy” Her monologue drifted towards thoughts of Magnus
it had been a while since they’d had a proper conversation. The mansion was only upied by her,
May, Linden, and a few servants
Even Hector, who had fought with Magnus, was nowhere to be seen. He was probably cklisted from

The thought of Magnus always led to images of him and isabe Her heart ached Even so, why did she
feel a sense of loss when she didn’t see hun?
Could it be that she still couldn’t let go of Magnus, despite his betrayal? She had hoped that time and
motherhood would help her move past her heartbreak, but it seemed she still held on to him. She was
truly hopeless
With a sigh Natalia felt a gentle kick from her belly A smile spread across her face Little one are you
eager to see the world? But you must be patient. Mommy needs to carry you to full term in just a month

Natalia gently rubbed her belly soothing the restless life within her. Her heart was filled with sweetness

Back on the balcony, she looked at the message it was a video from Kendra instinctively, she wanted to
