Chapter 232


    Natalia knew Magnus was capable of anything! He had purposely asked her if she was game, gauging


    if she was willing to leave with him. If she refused, he''d threaten to bomb Callum''s castle.


    If a fight broke out because of her, the result would be catastrophic. The weapons at y weren''t just


    fists and kicks butrge-scale destructive artillery that could cause irreparable harm. This was the


    castle that had been in Callum''s family for generations, filled with innocent people. She couldn''t


    possibly let Magnus wreak havoc.


    So, after much deliberation, she resignedly sighed. "I''ll go with you, just put away those weapons."


    "Great! As you wish!"


    "No way!"


    Both Magnus and Callum spoke simultaneously. One face lit up with joy, while the other was etched


    with deep loss.


    "Natalia, you can''t go back with him. I don''t fear the fire from his Gatling guns," Callum protested, his


    face filled with panic as if terrified Natalia might go with Magnus.


    Natalia looked at Callum with sympathy. "Cal, you''ve already done so much for me over the years, and


    I don''t want you to suffer anymore because of me."


    "How can you call it suffering?" Callum shook his head desperately, afraid of losing Natalia. "I''ve told


    you many times that doing anything for you is my pleasure; how can you think this?"


    "Cal, I''ve made up my mind. If he wants me to go with him, I will. Once he realizes I''vepletely


    given up on him, he won''t bother you anymore." Tears brimmed in Natalia''s eyes. She didn''t want to go


    with Magnus, but she wanted even less for Callum to be hurt by him.


    "No way! I won''t allow it! Natalia, today''s supposed to be our engagement day. How can you, how can


    you just leave me like this?" Callum wailed, unwilling to ept Natalia''s impending departure.


    In stark contrast to Callum''s devastation, Magnus was ted. As long as Natalia agreed to go with him,


    he was confident he could soon make her forgive him. He pulled Natalia to his side, eximing


    joyously, "Darling, you''re really going back with me?"


    Natalia gave Magnus a cold look and nodded. "Isn''t this what you wanted? I''ve agreed to go with you.


    Now you can withdraw your artillery, right?"


    "Of course!" Magnus nodded enthusiastically, turning to James. "Did you hear that? Withdraw the


    Gatling guns, as thedymands."


    "Sure, sure, Natalia''s always right. Let''s move," James ordered his men to retreat, and the threatening


    Gatling guns were removed from Callum''s castle.


    Callum was furious and refused to let Natalia and Magnus leave. "No matter the cost, I want Ms.


    rkson to stay!" He shouted to his mercenaries, who obeyed hismand ruthlessly.


    Callum''s men listened to his order and prepared for battle, loading their mortars.


    "No, Cal, please don''t do this. If a real fight breaks out, many innocent lives will be harmed," Natalia


    pleaded.


    Callum''s eyes were bloodshot. "I don''t care about coteral damage! My fiancée is openly getting


    kidnapped on our engagement day. I''ll be aughingstock. How will I face others if I can''t keep


    you here?"


    Natalia knew Callum was in pain, but she had to leave with Magnus in this situation. Violence wouldn''t


    solve anything.


    "Cal, trust me. I''ll be back. I promise. Once I convince Magnus, I''ll return to you immediately. Please


    trust me!" She assured him, her eyes filled with resolve. She was determined to make Magnus


    understand that keeping someone by force couldn''t mend a broken heart.


    Natalia turned to Magnus. Her eyes were icy, as though she was looking at a stranger. "Let''s go."


    "Good. The ne will be here soon," Magnus agreed.


    ne? Natalia was taken aback. Well, it seemed Magnus had prepared for everything. He had


    decided, whether she was willing or not, that he would take her away.


    Soon, the roar of an airne engine filled the air as a small private jet began to descend.


    “Cal, take care. I''ll be back soon,” Natalia thought, ncing at Callum onest time before being pulled


    onto the ne by Magnus.


    As the ne ascended, Natalia watched Callum, who was still standing there watching the ne. Tears


    welled up in her eyes.


    Cal always put her first. She would forever be indebted to him for his kindness.


    On the ne, Magnus noticed Natalia ignoring him. His handsome face darkened with anger. She still


    cared for that Englishman!


    "You still care about him!" He growled, wishing he had killed Callum when he''d had the chance.


    Natalia ignored him, focusing only on the clouds drifting by outside the window.


    Magnus realized Natalia was giving him the silent treatment and knew she was still angry with him, but

    he didn''t mind. He was determined to win her over, no matter what it took.


    Regardless, he had scored a win today, sessfully preventing her engagement to Callum. That was


    enough.


    Magnus looked at Natalia, d in her pristine white wedding dress, and felt a potent urge to tear it to


    shreds. It was a thorn in his eyes. Yet, he fought back the impulse, quietly taking in the sight of his


    beautiful woman before him.


    He didn''t voice any of these thoughts, though. Natalia was still seething, and he didn''t want to add fuel


    to the fire.


    The rest of their journey was spent in tense quietude. Natalia’s gaze was frosty as she stared out the


    airne window, and Magnus silently observed Natalia.
