Chapter 223
Natalia stood in the elevator. Her feelings were a whirlwind of emotions. She stared at her reflection in
the shiny elevator mirror, feeling like a fool that was being yed around with.
Callum would have never deceived her, and yet Magnus was going through all this trouble, just to y
her for a fool. What was the point?
"Ding."
The elevator came to a stop at the penthouse. Natalia hesitated, biting her lip, before stepping out.
The top floor was decorated in a simple yet elegant style that was refreshing to the eye. Yet, beneath
its modesty, there was a hint of luxury.
Her stilettos clicked pleasantly against the polished floor as Natalia made her way towards the CEO''s
office. Taking a deep breath, Natalia mustered up her courage and pushed open the door to the office.
The room was tidy and bright. On therge desk, there was a photo of her. The room was empty.

Seeing her photo on the desk, Natalia walked over and picked it up.
In the picture, she was looking down, smiling slightly. Her right hand rested on her slightly protruding
belly. She looked so tender and sweet. From this angle, it was clear that the photo had been taken
without her knowledge. The person behind this must have been Magnus. She wondered when he had
taken this picture.
Natalia gazed at her image in the photo, and a lump was forming in her throat. She gently touched her
t stomach, as if recalling the time when she was pregnant. Back then, although she was often in low
spirits, the baby inside her was her biggest support. Every day, she felt the baby''s heartbeat and
movements, and that was the happiest time of her life.
But now... the baby was gone, and all that remained was painful history.
Natalia''s smile faded as she put the photo back on the desk. She unconsciously touched her t belly,
a bitter taste spreading in her mouth.
Who would ever know that she once carried a precious life inside her?
A tear escaped from her eye and fell onto the shiny floor.
Realizing she was crying, Natalia quickly wiped away her tears and started searching the room. She
was here to expose Magnus'' lies, and she had to find him.
However, after a thorough search, she found nothing but cold decorations and books. There was no
sign of Magnus.
She pushed open the door to the lounge and was stunned to see the walls covered in photos of her.
There were pictures of her frowning, smiling, lost in thought, and even sleeping.
The photos were stered all over the lounge walls, not only from the time when she was pregnant five
years ago but also from recent moments.
There was one of her licking cream off the corner of her lips. It was taken on a day when thepany
had served cheesecake. She remembered that cheesecake; it was rich and smooth.
There were also photos of her watering nts, working at herputer, and exining proposals to
her staff.
It seemed that Magnus had captured all sorts of moments in her life.
Feeling a sense of helplessness, Natalia was furious. This obsessive man had been secretly capturing
her moments without her knowledge, which was infuriating.
This was her life, and Magnus had intruded without her permission. He was even trying to manipte
her personal life!
Without hesitation, Natalia started to peel off the photos from the walls. She was angry and quickly
removed many photos, holding a thick pile in her hands.
"Hey! What are you doing? Who let you in?!" Magnus had just entered his office when he saw
someone in the lounge tearing down his precious collection. He was livid.
He quickly approached Natalia and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Get out of here... wait, Natalia?!"
Natalia was wearing a green suit, and from behind, she looked like a high school girl. It took Magnus a
moment to recognize her.
Startled by Magnus'' sudden grip, Natalia turned to face him. "You, you…"
All the usations and questions she had prepared in her mind vanished when she saw Magnus''
incredibly handsome face. She stuttered, unable to form a coherent sentence.
"Natalia, did youe specifically to see me?" Magnus was thrilled to see Natalia, and he grabbed her
hands. "My wife, I knew it. I knew you loved me. I knew you couldn''t let me go."
Natalia pulled her hands out of Magnus'' grip as if they had been burned. She remembered why she
was there and questioned Magnus angrily, "Did you… Did you buy thispany? For fifty billion?!"
Magnus paused before quickly realizing that Callum must have told Natalia the truth.
So what? Everything he did was to win his wife back, and there was nothing to be ashamed about. So,
Magnus nodded without hesitation. "Yes, I did buy thispany. Natalia, I know you love designing. So
why should you work for others when you can work for your ownpany? I think you would be
happier here!"
He bought thispany, but the legal owner was Natalia. He took out the property deed and the
Natalia stared at him, unable to say a word. She pointed at Magnus and said fiercely, "Are you crazy?
You spent fifty billion on thispany! Do you have that much money to burn? Go back to Melfort
now!"
"I won''t leave. Wherever you are, I''ll be there, Natalia. You are my woman!" Magnus was thrilled to see
Natalia''s cheeks turn pink. He wanted to pull her into his arms.
He had wanted her sincest night, but she had run away. His desire had been left unfulfilled for the
entire night.
For years, he had lost interest in other women. Chase once introduced him to a woman who looked a
lot like Natalia,but even when she stood naked in front of him, he felt nothing.
Chase and James had teased him about him being impotent. He had also begun to suspect that maybe
he was.
Butst night, he had impulsively kissed Natalia, and to his shock, he had felt something. It kept him
awake till the wee hours of the morning. Her petite figure and the sweet taste of her lips were haunting
his thoughts.
He desired her - with a fervor that drove him to the brink of madness! Her angry look actually stirred his
blood and set his heart ame.
"I''m not! We''re nothing to each other now!" Natalia flung the torn photograph at Magnus. "And you! Are
you like some peeping Tom? You were secretly photographing me?!"
