Chapter 138


    He was not at all intimidated by the man standing in front of him. All he wanted was to see his beloved,


    Natalia, safe and happy. Natalia was too kind-hearted to be involved in hisplicated family affairs.


    Hearing this, Magnus closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them suddenly, his expression fierce.


    "No matter how Natalia became my wife, and no matter what hardships she might endure in the future,


    it''s none of your business. I''m here to fulfill her dreams and bring her happiness. Seems like your time


    in America didn''t teach you much. I''ll talk to Uncle, and send you to the Silent King. There, you''ll learn


    some manners." He then looked down at Natalia.


    "Ready to go, my dear? Let''s head home." He grabbed Natalia''s hand and led her out of the coffee


    shop.


    Hector clenched his fists. ''Don''t get too cocky, Magnus.''


    Back at Maplewood Manor, Magnus didn''t let go of Natalia''s hand, leading her upstairs to their


    bedroom. With a loud bang, he kicked open the bedroom door and closed it behind them. He pushed


    Natalia against the door and passionately kissed her before she could react.


    His kiss was fierce, as if he wanted to consume her entirely.


    He had been discussing some business with a client in the coffee shop, not expecting to see Hector


    holding Natalia''s hand when he came out. Natalia didn''t pull away. Instead, they were exchanging


    affectionate nces.


    He wanted to smash Hector''s hand off. How dare he encourage his wife to leave him! Six months ago,


    he had sent Hector to America, but he returned and even had the audacity to encourage Natalia to


    leave him. This infuriated him.


    Natalia tried to resist his passionate kiss, sensing something was off about him.


    Magnus lifted Natalia into his arms, and before she could react, they both fell onto the bed.


    Natalia looked into Magnus'' furious eyes. "Magnus, what are you doing?"

    "What am I doing? Didn''t you say you were done with Hector? Then why were you holding hands with


    him? If I hadn''t seen you today, would you have run off with that kid?" His eyes zed with anger.


    Natalia was speechless. This man was too much. When had she held hands with Hector? She had only


    seen him embracing Isabe.


    Natalia defiantly watched Magnus loosen his tie, feeling a chill in the air. "I wasn''t holding hands with


    Hector. On the other hand, someone was caught embracing their first love." Natalia stood up and coldly


    stared at Magnus.


    Magnus scoffed at Natalia’sment, his eyes full of ridicule. “You saw me taking Isabe home


    yesterday, so you’re still mad. Did you meet with Hector on purpose to get back at me?”


    He walked over to her, lifting her chin to look into her beautiful face, a sudden crack appearing in his


    heart. She was his woman, and he wouldn''t tolerate her betrayal.


    Would she leave him secretly like Hector said? The thought made him hiss.


    In one swift motion, he ripped off her dress. Natalia was taken aback, watching as her dress fell to the


    floor in pieces.


    "What...what are you doing?" She clutched her chest, backing away towards the bed.


    This man had gone mad. "What am I doing? Of course, I am going to make love to you." He wouldn’t


    let her leave.


    He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace, silencing her protests with another passionate


    kiss.


    As therge man pressed down on her, he showered her with kisses and left marks all over her body,


    marking her as his forever. Before she had a chance to adjust, he entered her.


    Natalia gasped in pain, biting her lip to hold back her cries. Magnus looked at Natalia’s pale face, her


    eyes filled with stoic resistance. He intentionally moved deeper, wanting to make her cry out. However,


    she remained defiantly silent.


    Tears began to fall from Natalia’s eyes, which broke Magnus’ heart. He leaned down and kissed away


    her tears, tasting their bitterness. His heart was just as bitter. He kissed her lips gently, his hand


    tenderly caressing their joined bodies. Natalia suddenly felt Magnus'' touch soften. She closed her


    eyes, more tears falling.


    An hourter, Magnus left her side to freshen up in the bathroom. When he returned, he was shocked


    to find Natalia was not in bed. He quickly got dressed and began to search for her.


    "Where is my wife?" He asked May, their housemaid, who was in the living room.


    “She hasn’te down, Mr. Magnus. Miss Natalia seems to be upsettely. She hasn’t been eating


    much.” May replied softly.


    Magnus'' brow furrowed, and he rushed upstairs to their room. Pushing open the door, he saw Natalia


    curled up under the nket, her face buried in a pillow, her hair covering her face.


    Magnus gently brushed away her hair; the dried tears on her face made his heart ache. “Sorry, my


    love, let me help you clean up.”


    Natalia didn’t respond. Magnus lifted the nket and carefully picked her up.


    Natalia didn’t resist; she no longer had the strength to. She closed her eyes, letting Magnus carry her


    into the bathroom.


    After he bathed her and dried her off, he carried her back to their bed, lying beside her and pulling her


    into his arms. “My love, please stop seeing Hector. Be good to me, you’re my woman, and I won’t let


    you leave.”


    Natalia closed her eyes, her heart freezing at his words.


    …


    Since then, Natalia rarely left Maplewood Manor, bing even more silent than before. She often sat


    on the balcony, watching the sunset. As the sun descended, so did her heart.


    Summer vacation passed quickly. Hector was sent back to America, and Lucius, after the incident,


    became much more peaceful, causing no more trouble.


    Kendra seemed to have vanished into thin air, no longer stalking Magnus like a shadow.


    As for Isabe, she continued to text Magnus as a friend and asionally bumped into him. Yet,


    Magnus didn''t show any signs of lingering affection towards her.


    In a blink of an eye, it was time for Natalia and Lexi to go back to school.


    Natalia managed to temporarily forget about what Magnus had done to her. And it seemed like Magnus


    was aware of the pain he had caused Natalia. Every day, he would return early to Maplewood Manor,


    his heart at ease as long as he knew his wife was home.


    One day, Andersen Corporation was celebrating its 20th anniversary and Morgan asked Magnus to


    host arge celebration. That night, all the high-ranking officials and elites of Melfort came to the hotel


    owned by the Andersen Corporation.


    After the dinner, there would be a grand ball and an award ceremony.


    At six in the afternoon, Magnus called Natalia, "My dear,e home early tonight and join me at the


    celebration."


    Natalia was taken aback, "Magnus, I don''t want to go." She was not keen on attending such events.
