Chapter 173
To ensure Natalia had good nights of sleep, Magnus moved to sleep in his study.
Natalia smiled in silence. Her hand was ced on her belly, as she fought the internal pain and
reminded herself to stay strong.
At eight months pregnant, Natalia was hit by a series of unfortunate events in the dark month of June.
Fate had finally separated her from Magnus.
It was a separation like death itself!
At the Golden Groove, in a hidden VIP lounge, Kendra and Lucius were entangled like two people high
on drugs, indulging in primal pleasures.
“Lucius, you''re amazing…”
“Baby, I can be even better…” Lucius panted. All his attention was focused on Kendra beneath him.
“Do you like it, darling, should we change positions?”
“You''re such a tease…” Kendra feigned shyness and turned her head, sneaking a nce at the hidden
camera she had installed in the corner of the lounge. Her red lips curled into a triumphant smirk.
She didn''t lure Lucius to the Golden Groove for some mere thrill. If that was the case, any penthouse
suite would have sufficed. She was here to record their passionate encounter and then send it to
Natalia after some editing.
Rumor had it that Natalia was several months pregnant and Kendra figured a good shock was just what
she needed. Anything that could drive Natalia to the brink would be fantastic. It would save Kendra the
trouble of dealing with Natalia once the baby was born.
Lucius was engrossed in his carnal pursuits. He noticed Kendra was distracted and forcefully turned
her face towards him, biting her lips hard. “What''s distracting you? Focus!”
Lucius was a wild beast in bed, with little regard for boundaries. He bit Kendra''s lips until they bled yet
showed no signs of remorse. His movements grew rougher, ravishing Kendra without restraint.
“Darling, I can never get enough of you.”
Kendra pretended to be docile, clinging onto Lucius. She was well aware of Lucius'' wild tendencies in
bed, and she was desperate to escape his clutches.
‘Natalia, you better be gone, stop iming Magnus as your own, and give me back my rightful ce as
the wife of the CEO!’
Filled with resentment, Kendra had to keep her emotions in check. To avoid suspicion, she made an
effort to respond to Lucius'' actions. The lounge was filled with heavy breathing, which eventually
subsided after what seemed like an eternity.
Lucius was still feeling unsatisfied, pulled his trousers back on. His eyes were filled with lust as they
scanned Kendra''s bare chest. “This ce is a lot more exciting than any penthouse suite. You really
are something, thinking of such a great ce.”
Kendra was pretending to be shy and blushed at hispliment. “Not at all. I just wanted to make you
happy. Don''t exaggerate. You make it sound like I''m some kind of expert.”
Lucius, now fully dressed, seemed less enthusiastic. “Whether you''re an expert or not, you know the
truth. Even a whore could learn a few tricks from you.”
Kendra, also dressed, was taken aback by Lucius'' words. She had never expected him to say

something like that!
“Lucius, you jerk!” Kendra grabbed her stockings and threw them at Lucius in frustration.
Lucius caught the stockings with a swift move and took a dramatic sniff. “It''s no big deal. If I''m a jerk,
then you''re a slut. We''re a perfect match.”
Kendra was shaking with anger. How dare Lucius call her a slut!
“Get out of here, you''ve gone too far!” Kendra bent down, pretending to rummage through her
handbag, and quickly grabbed the hidden camera. “Lucius, you''re a jerk!”
With that, Kendra stormed out of the lounge, with her high heels clicking against the floor. She couldn''t
wait to edit the video and send it to Natalia. Her anger was just a ruse to give herself an excuse to
leave early.
Lucius, however, found the whole thing amusing. He took his time to straighten his clothes before
leaving the lounge. The experience had been thrilling, and he was already nning to convince Kendra
to meet at such public ces more often. It was far more exciting than he had imagined. As for
Kendra''s outburst, Lucius didn''t take it to heart. He knew Kendra all too well. If she was angry, all he
needed to do was spoil her with gifts and she would be all smiles again.
Women were just bedpanions. If he liked one, he spent more time with her; if not, he moved on.
As of now, he rather liked Kendra.
Meanwhile, Kendra, feigning anger, stormed out of the Golden Groove and headed straight to a private
detective agency.
The receptionist saw Kendra elegantly dressed and immediately greeted her, “How may I assist you,
miss?”
Kendra looked down at the receptionist. “I need aputer expert. I have a video that needs to be
edited. It needs to be wless, and untraceable. Can you do that?”
The receptionist saw a potential big client and was eager to please Kendra. “You''vee to the right
ce, miss. We specialize in tracking, searching, and manipting images and videos. If you want it,
we can make it happen. However…”
“The price is high, right?” Kendra scoffed. “Money is no issue. Call your most expensive guy. I need the
best service.”
The receptionist hurriedly called the operations manager, deciding it was best to keep her distance
from such a demanding customer.
The operations manager was a shrewd man, with a rather sleazy appearance. As soon as he saw
Kendra, his eyes lit up and he scurried over to her. “What can I do for you, miss?”
Kendra frowned, clearly annoyed. “Are you professionals or not? If you can''t do it, I''ll find someone
else. Repeating the same question is unprofessional!”
Having seen his fair share of finicky clients, the operations manager greeted her with a practiced, warm
smile. "Miss, don''t be upset. Please follow me."
He led Kendra to a private room, attentively closing the door behind them. "Miss, please share your
request. As long as you''re willing to pay the right price, there''s nothing we can''t do."
"Really?" Kendra quirked an eyebrow, suddenly feeling out of ce. "What if I asked you to kill
someone for me?"
The ount manager''s smile froze on his face. "Miss, we might operate in the gray areas of thew,
but we certainly don''t break it!"
The atmosphere in the room immediately thickened. Kendra studied the ount manager for a
moment, then burst into exaggeratedughter. "HA! I was only joking. The task is simple, really. I just
need you to take the man in this video and edit it to look like another man."
